A great race in the World Sports Car Championship in 1985. But, there's only one problem. Where is a fireman when you need one? The safety crews in this race, had no idea, how to handle fuel fires in the pit lane. Calamity ensued in the lane, at least three times. Thankfully, the FIA in both Formula 1 and in the FIA World Endurance Championship, have much more efficient track crews in this day in age. This race, had to be a wake up call to say, "hey guys, you've got to do your jobs, better!"
Sports car racing, is my passion and I have been dedicated to it for well over two decades. A great quote from Steve McQueen in his 1971 movie, when he starred as Gulf Porsche driver Michael Delaney, comes to mind. "Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after, is just waiting." - Steve McQueen From the movie, "Le Mans" - 1971
