I found some slides in my brother's stuff, dated 1981. I suspect they were taken in the Boulder/Denver area. It brightened my day to see he was interested in Porsches a full ten years before he purchased Buttercup, but saddens me that he isn't here to fill me in on the story behind the photos. I looked on the internet and found this website, but didn't see any information about these particular cars. Just for fun, can anyone fill me in a bit more? I appreciate your help!

In the pix of the white car on the trailer, I think that's Summit Point Motorsports park in Summit Point, WV. I just spent the weekend there and the building is the classroom and registration rooms and the snack bar. The road going up to the left goes to the timing and scoring building and control tower. License plate and decals are consistent with east coast; Electrodyne was located in Alexandria/Arlington and SP would be the local track.

x2 summit. Ted Hulse used to run there in his later white turbo. His pic is still up on the wall in 'chez summit'. I think VIR was still shut down in the 80s. FWIW, I met Ted the 2nd weekend after VIR was reopened (late 90s) @ a NASA event.
Edit: Wasn't there an Anthony's strip club down in DC? (5th pic) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
