Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Steve Matchett on the Watkins Glen Ferrari event

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Brakes - ah yes.  Many years ago, at Sears Point, what, Infion? Raceway? I 
got a ride in a two year old CanAm McLaren by the then BSR SCCA champion. 
Now this guy was good - hell, he was a champ.  We get in the CanAm 
and - - - - POW down the longest straight as Sears, into turn two and ol 
John hits the brakes for three.  That thing went to ZERO so fast that he had 
to get back on the gas to get to the turn.  Ummmm um.  Those were the daze.
