I can't see the pic either, but I'm gonna guess it's the white car with red trim, and balloons on the hood? Mike ran it at Sebring, quite possibly with Rennie Bryant and David Russell. I think it was Rennie's car. I've got pics of it from Sebring that year. I hadn't met Mike yet, but David was one of my instructors at Brands Hatch America racing school at Hollywood Motorsports Park in Hollywood, Fl. He runs BMW's with Automatic Racing in the Koni Challenge now.

What Fink said.
I'm sure Mike will be along before too long to fill in the details. Last time I saw that car it was still parked inside the converted schoolbus hauler down at Rennie's shop.

I wanna see, I wanna see, I can't remember that far back. I bet it's the one that went BANG CLUNK RATTLE BANG as I exited onto the front straight during NIGHT practice. The outside of the final turn in the dark is NOT the place to park but I was commited (do I get out, do I stay in, do I get out, do I stay in, do I get out, do I stay in, do I get out, do I stay in, do I get out, do I stay in, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap as cars come buzzing by...) A sad clown with nowhere to go... Broken crank.
Dear Nissan, HELP. Thanks.

Yeah, sorry about the pic, I probably gave the poor guy a bandwidth overload or something.
I couldn't find the webpage again, but I put it up on photobucket.
And Mike, this old corner worker says it's usually better to stay in the car. Your motor might not work, but your cage still does..and it offers a lot more protection than a plastic hat & a nomex suit.

Oh, man! I'll bet Rennie was involved with that car. I just looked at the photo again, and sure enough, "Redline Racing" has a sticker on the rocker panel.
