[DeTomaso] Nurburgring memories....

[Mike Thomas]

Rule #1, no swing axle VW's.
I loved the one where the guy got tossed out the driver's door just as the
car came to rest.  Sort of like the car was telling him "you moron, if
you're going to treat me like that, you are OUTTA HERE!"

A veritable encyclopedia of what not to do on a track.
They should call it Darwin corner. :->

Hey guys,

Check out this vintage Super-8 film shot at the trickiest corner on the
Nurburgring:

It's silent, but you can probably make your own vroom-vroom and tire squeal
noises. :>)

For the Eurodudes here who were on the De Tomaso International Meeting last
year, you may remember this particularly tricky corner--it comes at the top
of a hill after a beautiful flowing series of left-right-left-right corners
which 
are taken high in 3rd gear.   The last corner goes over a blind crest and is

a super-sharp, bottom of 2nd gear turn.   I know that many of you were
caught
out just like these guys were, thankfully with very benign results. :>)

Mike
