My future brother-in-law sent me a couple of pics of 2 teeners he spotted at Road America. Do these belong to anyone here?

Opened the word doc, selected the image, right clicked and "copy" to the clipboard. Opened MS-Paint, pasted the image and saved it as a JPG, then uploaded it here ...

Hey Ben nice video!
I was paddocked right by you but every time I walked by to say hi you we gone.
I had a great time (even though my car ran like crap)

Looks like a nice (though hot) weekend at RA! I was hoping to go to watch, but managed to lop off the tip of my finger, and ended up having to sit at home with my hand in a giant boxing glove of a bandage protecting my hand.

At least the pain meds helped a lot, and it looks like my finger will heal enough to still let me function normally. Be very careful when playing with garage doors - they make very efficient guillotines when you get a finger caught between the slats!

Sorry I missed you. It's always nice to meet another teener owner. Every event I attend there seems to be more 914s entered. Will you be running at the Elkhart Lake Vintage Festival in September?

Posted by: gms Jul 19 2011, 05:32 PM

Not sure yet but I do race a bunch of midwest council races

Posted by: vintage914racer Jul 19 2011, 06:35 PM

Does Midwest Council group vintage cars in with other cars or is it an exclusive run group?

Posted by: gms Jul 19 2011, 06:54 PM

You can run in the Vintage/Historic group and it is a great bunch to race with.
Contact is not permitted! (rub'in ain't racing)

Nice driving Ben! A friend of my brother in laws that I met this past Christmas was there in his Lotus. Not sure how he did. His dad was the original owner of the car and is all original.
Here's a pic of him and his car.

Nice!


PS: I embedded the video for you in your post above ...

Alex Welch in the green 911 and Frank Beck in the orange 914/6 were mixing it up

Becks an amazing driver. That doesn't look like his car unless he changed some things...

Posted by: gms Jul 20 2011, 07:42 AM

The color does not look correct in this picture but it was him. He actually did NOT win the feature race, I was surprised.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jul 20 2011, 09:43 PM

Last time I saw him his car looked like this:

Narrow body. Frank and Bill Lewis Jr. just simply "cleaned up". It was fun watching the two of them go at it.

(Check out the video in post #28... that's how far ahead of the 911's Frank and Bill were.)
