Default SpeedVision GT SpeedGT Blast from the past of the 928s

Someone forwarded me this this morning.. Wow, its been 20 years and feels like yesterday. Now, that was some fun, if for no other reason that having the 928s out racing there and to see the looks they got.

This was probably the best SpeedVision clip, unfortunately it was Road America and Mark Kibort wasn't able to transport his car to race at that location so it was just Mark Anderson and the Zombie.

But, the commentators had dissed Mark Anderson's 928 in an earlier race, I don't recall the exact comment but something about it being to big to be a racecar or something to that effect.
That brought all the fury of the 928 Forum on Rennlist to bear on the commentators, whose email boxes were flooded with 928 owners "setting them straight" about the race potential of the 928.
I don't recall who the commentator's were (Varsha and Hobbs?), but you can hear them comment about the email bombs and its funny to hear how much more "delicate" they were this time around in describing the 928's potential as a racer. Lol.

Derek Dailey was the announcer and he personally called me to apologize and invite me as his guest to the next Indy car race
