Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Fwd: Suitable for Framing

[LarryT (l02turner]

Hi Doug,
   Pedro Rodriguez must have been amazing to watch in person.  IMO it's 
much easier to gauge speed
in person than on TV - plus the elevation changes are more dramatic.  Too 
bad his life was so short.

   He was driving a Porsche 917 at Spa in the rain one year - he was going 
so fast, hurling the car through the corners
with the tail out every time, wheels spinning at all speeds, that the clerk 
of course was frightened for him - so frightened that he
black-flagged Pedro long enough to bring him in to ask him to slow down.  In 
Pedro's opinion he was there
to drive as fast as possible - from that stop he raced thru the field again 
to get back to the front - where he eventually
won the race ;-)
