Not a wreck (sorry), but an impassioned chase.
About 19 minutes into the race Brian pits to tell us that the car is great, then heads back out. Just as he is rolling out of the pits, "it" speeds by. "It", the green/white/red Alpha from the team California Mille, manages to keep Brian at bay for 4 and a half laps. It's a great chase, with lots of exasperated hand waving, but in the German car (1969 Opel GT), and a driver that seems to be possessed. After that Brian turns some of the fastest laps of our weekend, but then comes in early with a broken transmission. And, Brian, didn't we agree to something about shifting at 5,000 rpm? That is a 41 year old motor after all, and it's coming out of 25 years of abandonment, save for an oil change and the new spark plugs it got for the race.
