A a a the porsche factory which dropped its group c prototype sports car program at the end of the 1988 season to concentrate on cart indy car racing finds that its old 962 and 962-c prototypes Are still going Strong in the hands of private entrants. Porsche which recently left cart racing to return to the formula one wars As an engine supplier ruled the sports car racing world during the 1980s with its All conquering 956 and 962-prototype cars. Even after porsche put its sports car program into private hands at the end of �?T88, its cars continued to win races throughout the world. Among the top private entrants Are Joest Kremer and Brun and they will probably keep the 962s running again next season. After porsche withdrew As a factory entrant Jaguar and Mercedes took Over. Mercedes has two straight sports car titles plus a be mans Victory in 1989. Jaguar scored be mans victories in 1988 and this year. I have a Hunch that if and when porsche decides to return porsche cars will go to the front once More. Before withdrawing porsche competed in the world sports car championship for 20 years. It won several world titles and established a record 12 victories in the prestigious 24 hours of be mans. And now comes another record this one set in Simsa racing in the United states. It came on sept. 30 when British Driver James Weaver piloted an aging Dyson porsche 962-c to a Victory at Tampa Fla. It was a porsche cards first and Only Victory in Simsa Camel it Competition this season but it was enough to extend porsche a annual Simsa Victory string to 20 years this encompassing the entire history of Simsa racing. Simsa whose proper name is the International motor sports association staged its first race in 1970. Even without a factory entered car in Simsa rounds since 1988, porsche cars have scored 173 victories in 290 Camel it events. That includes 52 wins by the 962 or the 962-c the c is the european racing version and that is a record for any single Model. At least two competitive porsche 962s will be racing in the Nissan dominated Simsa series next year the German entrant Reinhold Joest planning to have a two car team for 12 of next years 17 races. Joest Stop Driver will be Bob Wollek of France with the other three still to be named. A a a a where to go this weekend in England the British rally Cross grand prix will be staged saturday and sunday at the brands Hatch circuit Southeast of London. Some of the worlds Best rally Cross Drivers will be in action at this event which goes from Dawn to dusk on both Days.

The Lonal football league office said nday that the new York giants have iced at least a wild card he news did Little to lift the teams. After a 31-13 loss to the eagles a Day m Philadelphia. It conies at a sour time a giants Cor Rock Everson Walls said. A we wanted Pinch the division title. We put All we into getting ready for that game and me out a loser takes away from the a mint of clinching a playoff spot Ousby you take what you can get in eague but our expectations Are so that we really wont rest until we Vele As far As we can two More victories or a combination of to Ivac Oil and an eagles loss would v of ? giants their second straight Ca Crown. Even with a total col it they Are assured of at least a wild spot. It s Good to be in but we be still got a h t0 8� a giants coach Bill Par said on his radio show monday night. N Rejust 8ot to keep playing. The next is Tor us to Clinch the the giants can finish no worse than 106 Overall and 8-4 against pfc East foes. The Green Bay packers Minnesota Vikings and new Orleans saints also could finish 10-6, but the Vikings and saints already have five conference losses. If the Vikings finish 10-6, they would have to beat the packers giving Green Bay five conference losses. Nonetheless the giants want the division title and a possible week off before their first playoff game. A we need to win two More games a Parcells said. A a it Sas simple As that. If we win two More games then we will have accomplished what we set out to do. If we done to then we probably wont accomplish it. That a what our goal is and we still have ample Opportunity to do it. But i done to think its going to be the giants travel to san Francisco this weekend for the Long awaited showdown with the 49ers 10-1 monday night. Then they return Home to play the rejuvenated Vikings 5-6 and the acc East leading Buffalo Bills. A the hardest part of our season is in front of us a Parcells said. Monday he tried to put the loss to the eagles behind him. He said too Many mis takes and too Many blown assignments were the giants downfall. A i done to think we did As Good a Job As we could have done in a lot of areas a Parcells said. A we made too Many errors on both sides of the Ball. That a the game. Its no More or no less than that even though everyone would like to make it a lot More. They were just the better team. The first week of the season we were the better the eagles won their fifth straight game and beat the giants for the fifth time in their last six meetings because Randall Cunningham had time to throw and Keith Byars found holes in the giants secondary catching eight passes for 128 Yards. A 54-Yard catch and run by Byars set up one Field goal and his 20-Yard reception helped set up a touchdown. On both occasions Byars did no to have a defender within 10 Yards of him. A we consistently made mistake particularly defensively a Parcells said. A we just did no to adjust to what should have been a pretty simple thing. Its not like we did no to have a plan for it we just did no to execute the plan. Every time they had the Byars pass play on we just screwed it up. It was the giants will work on correcting those errors in time for mondays game. Phil Simms feels Philly a squeeze. New Yorkus first loss
