Very memorable experience- Just entering main straight at Pacific Raceways, and I notice a puff of smoke in the cabin. "That's strange" I thought...... Then I looked in my rear-view mirror, and saw nothing but a fog bank. "That's strange, it's a clear day"....
At 100+ mph, I simply killed the ignition, and coasted to the nearest flagging station, as they have fire extinguishers, and exited the car quickly.
Nice thing about racing a 944. Turned out not to be too catastrophic. Missed qualifying, but was able to make the race by starting at the back of the grid.
I feel bad for anybody who drives his street car for a fun day at the track and ends up needing a ride home on a flatbed.
