T CL Van!!!

962's and especially so Kremer prepared units have always been my favourite Sportscars since they replaced the 956's and I never missed the WSC races they ran at Mosport and Montreal here in Canada..

As I mentioned to you a couple years back, I was fortunate to meet many drivers in those days...Bell, Stuck, Beloff, Ickx to name a few also K. Rosberg in 1990 when he debuted the 905 Peugeot in Montreal and the race ended early when the 962's ground effects were sucking the manhole covers off the track surface!.

The Kremer team treated me to some personal and up close time w/ the cars at the Mosport Group C race in '85...sadly the weekend ended w/ Winklehock's accident..

I had Canadian Porsche racer and ex 962 pilot Ludwig Heimrath Sr. here in my office a year or so back and we had a nice chat about the old days, cars and drivers.. He remains active in his 70's and still got bigger balls behind the wheel than most guys!.

I was fortunate to go for a rip in a real Kremer 935 once too...nobody I know ever seems to understand?.

Best to you w/ the sale of this 962...do you still have the Bob Akin/Coca Cola car too?.

Hey Pete !! Yeah a 935 .. go check the old R&T road tests and look at the 0-60 , 1/4 mile times and top speed... then they may understand I have two IMSA Air 962's , the Akin Coca~Cola 962's . One is the car that set the record for Distance Covered" and "Average MPH" for the Sebring 12 Hours . That record still stands today 22 years later !

The Heimrath's were looking at buying thier old 934/935 back . I race with the guy who owns it and he is local to me. Jr lives in Washington state now I beleive. Very good drivers both of them.

I know Road America well.. fastest track in the USA.. and on occassion North America.. I think I should be able to muster a 2:05 or so in the 962 ... did 2:12 or so in this one

I was thinking of me doing the test driving...not you...on a good day in 2005 I went 2:25.0 in this on treaded tires (NO slicks).

[ChevyThunder]

2:25 is plenty fast on that track ! I am just going to refer to you as " The Shoe" from now on

Pete you will like this one .... 750K to a sYc member
