Re: 1936 AU racer spotted on Speedvision

I just watched the show and I never knew that Emmanuel Pirro's (nifty web
site: www.pirro.com) father was an Audi driver in the 30s.  Frank Biela was
there taking a cell phone call whilst in cockpit.  No "Schtucky" though.....

It was an intentional spin, you could see him breathe the throttle, turn
the wheel and goose it.  Ended up on the grass....  <g>
