Nice pics! Thanks for sharing. I thought the first pic was from Australia.

Had a great time at the Jefferson 500. Fun to run with this group. Finally got my track car running and made it through the whole event without a mechanical failure (read engine). Had my fastest lap time at Summit this weekend.

You weren't the only /4 there. A guy named Wade was across from me back in one of the areas in the woods. A Silver 914 spyder, #29. I don't know about this year, but a couple of years ago he was turning 1:29 - 1:28 laps consistantly at Summit main. Photos are from 2 years ago.

Mettelman, I have on track video of you in the All Porsche race on Saturday. Looks like we started next to each other. I'll post it on Utube in a few days. Unfortunately, my camera battery ran out halfway through the race!! Very quick /4 you've got there ..... and the driver ain't too bad either

Yes it has........ and another one as well, but it is Group 3, the group they put me in with the MG's 240Z's, a Lotus and some other cars (like a Peerless!!).

It's called the Recaro "Hans". Good quality seat but side protection does block part of the view. Tight fit (I am 5'11" 173 lbs.) if I gain another ounce it will be a tight squeeze
