Don't remember which model, but looked a lot like a 290.

Funny story good for her.
A 962 owner let a youngster sit in his 962 in the pits. Next session out on his video camera half lap in he was turning his boost knob.
When asked if he was adjusting the boost for qualifying he said no. The kid that sat in the car had spun the boost knob and it was over boosting on the warm up lap.
Ya gotta watch them when you let them in the car.
Another racer had a kid in his car and the kid pulled the on board fire system handle. $400 and few hours of clean up required.
My buddy is a shop teacher in Carmel and a few of his HS students spent the weekend at the races.
I let a few of them sit in my car and rev the engine.
Like this Sailor we met at Coronado years ago.
After a session when the car was still heat soaked I let this kid in my car and he was grinning like crazy.
I asked him what he was thinking? He said I'm waiting for the green light.
This model just wanted to use my side mirror.
This little guy liked the width of my RSR rear rims.
