Any day at the track is a good day, and not just because it means I am not at work.
Today was a very good track day. The car ran great, the weather was perfect, and I got to see some old friends and some nice cars. Let's start the photos with a fellow 914Club members car. This black monster belongs to Steve from San Diego. Attached image(s) |

Here is a rare sight. A 914 on jack stands.
This nice one belongs to Joe and Jeff from New Mexico. They know Joe O'Brien and his 914RS. They were having problems with the front brake calipers. I was able to get in touch with my friends at Carl's Place, and they even delivered the needed parts to the track. Attached image(s) |

The other car from the above photo in the pits.
It was a nice 4 banger from Colorado. I asked but they did not know Gint. Attached image(s) |
