i returned this evening from the vintage grand prix at watkins glen, 4 years running the largest vintage racing event in the country. Very good turnout this year, and porsche was the featured mark.

I saw about 10 - 15 914s including race cars, more than I've ever seen there. Are they really getting that popular out east?

caution, many pictures I went a little nuts.

Up first are car show pics, including a yellow 914 I believe owned by a club member

next, the racers paddock. Here's a couple low budget operations for you...why race one cobra and GT40 when you can have 2 at twice the price

last but not least...the crew. I am in yellow.

It won't let me upload any more pics! ah well...


In conclusion, its a great event that gets overlooked I think. The racing is awesome and the amount of cars overwhelming. Now you know....

Is it just me, or do those wheels on the 550 look like 4 lug VW steel chromies (8 slots vs 10 for the Porsche 5 lug)?

Great pictures, you can almost hear the cars on the track!

Thanks,

Typo? The car pictured is a 904 Carrera GTS. Or at least some species of 904; could even be a 904-6...
