"Camino Viejo de Montserrat" — that name is so cool. I'm going to start randomly asking "...but what's it's Camino Viejo de Montserrat time?"
Uh oh, I smell an upcoming meme; I suddenly want a "1991 Veinticuatro Horas de Camino Viejo de Montserrat" T-Shirt. It should be available in — what, about a week?
@Tanshanomi: Four days... atleast that's how fast my chinese sweat shop produces t-shirts. And if you order in the next ten minutes, I'll ship it to you for FREE!!
SCENE: Late at night. Clouds pass in front of a full moon, and a wolf's howl can be heard on the wind. A rusty sign creaks in the breeze. The sign reads "Sebring--Pit Row." KRISTJáN EINAR pulls his track suit collar tighter against the breeze and looks around the deserted pits. He turns suddenly when he hears a voice from the shadows. HANS-JOACHIM STUCK enters, stage right.
STUCK: She's a beauty, ay? In a few days she'll be buzzin' like a teenage boy's pants at a co-ed wrestlin' match. But now? Now she's quiet...like the morgue before a train wreck.
EINAR: Who are you?
STUCK: I'm like the darkness that lives in your soul, that never lets you forgive the things that have been done to you, nor forget the things that you've done. I'm like the wind in your ear, whisperin' 'faster, boy. Faster.' I'm like ever'thing you've ever wanted, an' nothin' you can have.
EINAR: You're a racer?
STUCK: Racer ain't nothin' but a man that fits a desk like a horse fits a pervert. You can cram 'im in there, but in the end ain't nobody gonna be happy.
EINAR: Do you mind if I ask you a question?
STUCK: Question? Question's like a woman. Just cuz she's asked don't mean you can't roll over and go back to sleep.
EINAR (disgusted): Oh God. I just got the horse one.
STUCK (smiles and nods)
EINAR: How do you do it? How can you last this long without selling out? Without doing...things...you're ashamed of, just for a seat and a stick, and a needle headed to redline?
STUCK: You don't do it, kid. It does you. But sometimes...well, sometimes you just gotta feed the dragon.
HANS-JOACHIM STUCK slowly melts into the shadows. The slurred yelling of RAY WERT can suddenly be heard off in the distance.
WERT: Einar? Where you at you little Icelandic minx? Poppa gotta get paid…
@War2d2 - Looking For a Star...: how much for you to do one with kristjan einar and richard goransson racing for a woman's affection? they're for a friend.
Many apologies for the following question, but this is serious internet business: why the heck do all of the cars like the R15 have that second pseudo-cockpit? Just looks strange to me.
Do they keep a cooler and 6 pack of Evian in there for the endurance races? Is there room for a sandwich?
I'm not surprised. Stuck's father was competing in hillclimbs into his 60's, beating drivers 4 decades his junior.
I read in Motorsport that HJ Stuck looked forward to competing in the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring in 2011 with both of his sons. Stuck, Stuck and Stuck FTW!
on a related note...I have a DVR that i have tried to teach to record any good racing thats is on (not NASCAR) yet is misses lots of good stuff...i would be forever grateful if on a Thursday or Friday Jalopnik could post a Weekend Racing on TV post! and i mean everything from ALMS to Speed World Challenge to Spec Miata Racing.
Youth and beauty are no substitutes for age and guile, particularly in endurance racing. Stuck should do well.
Looks like Audi has built another strong contender. They may have their hands full with Peugot and Aston this time. Hope I can catch some of that race.
Stuck will not be in the car pictured, but will be in a 1987 Brougham with curb feelers and be sponsored by IHOP. Even though driving a car for "Old People" he will lap the field, not run down any pedestrians, still hold his coffee without spilling it and shake his fist triumphantly on the podium and say.

Camera closes in on KRISTJáN EINAR.
A solitary tear rolls down his cheek.

Carry over to tradition and the old rules... Thankfully they don't have to carry spare tires anymore!

The eldest driver on our LeMons team is more the double the age of our youngest. But even at 56, he can more than manage!
