Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari's at Sebring

[LarryT (l02turner]

Howdy -
   Have been in & out this afternoon and missed a few laps - happened to 
walk past the screen to noticed a F430 pulling over trailing  flames & 
burning rapidly.   He jumped out and a corner worker ran to his assistance. 
I was very surprised to see him put the fire out basically with the single 
fire cannister he had!  Others showed up and help make the fire was truely 
out but very  much damage was done.

   There seems to be a very large number of F430's this year.  Let's hope 
the trend continues at Daytona and LeMans.  The F430 is gorgeous even when 
tricked out for racing.

Enjoy your weekend - drive your Ferrari/Porsche if possible ;-)
