Le Mans Classic 2008: biggest racing party since LMC 2006
What a great Le Mans Classic 2008! OK, we did not finish the race, but once more our team spirits have been higher that the stratosphere. All three drivers got to blast down the Mulsanne at over 180 mph and we sure scared the valve retainers out of numeros 911s and 2 liter Chevrons as we roared past them on the world greatest race track! Our special thanks go again to Patrick Peter and his fabulous crew for making this crazy motorsports party happen. Before going any further, click here for some cool pictures of the Oly Express at Le Mans Classic 2008!
what happened? please tell me it wasnt the engine.

Sorry to read the Charger didn't finish the race. Sounds like you still had a fantastic celebration. Thanks for sharing pictures so, I could see my friends Dick & Sally having so much fun. What wonderful memories you will ALL treasure.

Thanks for your kind words. The engine is fine, the tranny is also fine and the car is fine. The transmissions front yoke did let go...

Laura,
sally and i are having a great time, are in Geneva heading for Italy. Was hard to leave all the crew at Le Mans this year but we will be back. The car ran very well, just one problem. I did get three laps of practice, 188 MPH on the Mulsanne this year. EVERYBODY ........ make your reservations for 2010, we will have lots of time to prepare, should be allot of fun. You wont want to miss it.
Thank You to all of the Oly Express crew, you worked hard, we will be back in 2010. Dick
