Hey Roland, are you going to be stopping by Erickson's shop in Ventura this week? If you are I'll pass by and say high, that and it will give me and excuse to drop it and bug him. Hahahaaa.

Roland,
Looking forward to your visit next week. We have a great group lined up to drive with you. When you're out here, let's be sure to talk about scheduling the instructed high performance driving class.
Thanks

Hi Bob, 68 & 69 911 GT wins, DNF 70/71/72 & 78

This year, I was with a French Team helping in a
LMP 675. I brought the driver back here to get him into a pro season. He will do the Denver GP.
I even did the 24 hours at Le Mans on motorcycle !!! Endurance was my forte.
Now, vintage (McLaren M6/Argo GTP and still P cars. I do SCCA endurance(won a few on P...cars).
We need more space but this is a clean view.

Roland, the car is incredible but it would be great to hear about your participations at LeMans... how many years were you involved... when... success stories? Even if it was P-related. :-)

Hi Bob, The Le Mans connection ?, the car or my many participations (only with P..che cars....)
If it is about the car, this is just a rebuilt
F40 into a LM based on Michelotto blue prints with many new generations parts. A touch of my own desires and you have the perfect cocktail. I hope that you'll have a chance to come at the run August 17th.
No chance to run in September since I have a race to go to at the same date..
I'm leaving Sunday morning for the big trip to the West, see you there.

Welcome Domonik!

Roland- Your car is nothing short of incredible! Do you by chance plan to attend the meeting of Northern and Southern CA at Hearst Castle this 09/21/2003?

Kal- looking at the pictures, I think that is a CF cooling duct to force outside air across the wastegate. I'd imagine it gets rather toasty!

Best!
Ben.

Howdy Ron,
I'm in the organisation of the Players run and will have the LM running in it.
I just don't do all the connection since I have many other duties. So we load, unload etc.. But I always welcome a passenger creazy enough to get in the car (mainly when I drive !! )

Roland, I can't wait to see it in 2 weeks and to see you again. I hope I get to ride in it.

Do you already have a co-pilot for the Players Run?

Holy wastegate bat man! That is one big ass wastegate externally vented I assuume? The intercoolers this thing comes with are freaking massive too! I bet with some tweaking this thing can lay down 4 digit hp easy.
