Better yet, Jeroen is currently running at Bitburg!
She ran 12.1 so far today I heard with a nice wheelie, but I expect him to at least equal his 11.68 from last year when the rebuild engine is fully tuned.
It really is indeed an awesome piece of (living) history.

Hmm, you may be right. If so, I made the wrong connection out of Jeroen SMS-text (oepsie)
