Heard of two separate instances of Porsche 944 cars on DOT tires braking for
a corner at a track day (one at Willow Springs, one at The Glenn?). Both
the bags blew up.
>Do you get a re-run?
These cars were too heavily damaged by the air bags to continue on track.
Rumor is that Porsche quietly fixed them.
>In fear of the little explosive sitting in front of me,
Hate the $%*#$^ little things. Glad none of my cars have them.
