Race Team Mechanics.

[khyndart in CA]

I got to meet Desire Wilson in 1999 when I was working at a BMW dealership and each year when the new models were introduced some of us would go to a track / parking lot somewhere in Southern California to test drive / hammer and compare the latest BMWs against the competition. I rode with Skip Barber and 4 others in a BMW 325 E in 1986 around the old Riverside course and entering the
Turn 9 corner I kept thinking the brakes had failed but Skip made it look easy and was chatting throughout !
Desire Wilson was at the Fontana Track and we did a slalom course in the parking lot. No one else seemed to know who she was but when I started talking about NZ.(She drove in the Pacific Series in 1980 ) Rugby and racing. (Teddy Yip and Theodore) she was very friendly and told me how to use my feet and not drive like an "old lady"!
( So even though I got bit off course I decided to enter my Desire Wilson story. )
