24 Heurs Du Willis ‘04 Report
First off, the DSCC wants to extend a huge thanks to Johan for inviting us up to celebrate Willis's birthday.
We are very privileged to be in the company of the talented drivers and crew that welcomed us to this event.
All the drivers that attended thankfully returned in one piece, but unfortunately we cannot say the same about one of our cars.
Terry Lee was very lucky to walk away from a very scary incident that sent his Cobra rolling into the tree line.
Who cares if I got scolded for short pitting and running across the track to the aid of my pal! I’d do it all over again to help out my friends….. Terry, I luv ya man!
Guys, something like this only makes us realize how dangerous this sport is and how important it is that we protect ourselves at all times.
My hats off to Terry for motoring that big block 427 around me (even if it was only for a short period of time). I’m just sorry it was so costly.
Terry; just remember, “slow and smooth”…. Save the hard and fast for the bedroom!
PS, Carol told me to say that
Again, I am very thankful that the outcome was only a smashed windshield, broken fiberglass, shaky nerves and a scuffed paint job.
Jim Pomroy was all smiles as he spanked our butts with his newly acquired Z06 Vette.
Don’t let him lie to you, he was only able to get around me once….
I am still amazed that the engineers at Chevy were able to make a car go that fast. Even one that Pomroy is driving…. Amazing
There were two “Not-Races” held during the three-day torture fest.
Johan won the first “Competition liscenced driver” not-race held on Tuesday afternoon, and Spiderman drove his yellow pinto mobile to the checkered flag against us in the second not-race held on Wednesday.
It was really cool to participate in a 7-lap (not)race to the checkered flag.
I’m still smiling two days later!
#97 finally ran well and did not overheat or have
oil pressure problems.
3 days of beating on her and she survived... I'm looking forward to Gainesville in the fall.
Terry, we pitched in and have 6 rolls of 100mph tape.
No excuses for missing the October track date!
All in all, it was an incredible experience that we will not soon forget.
Hoping to be invited back next year…
