Only 3 cars in the corral, and 3 or 4 on track. Anyone ever heard of Mad Bob?
He had a pair of 914-6 conversions there, both black. Met a young guy with a very nice Signal Orange 914-6 entered in the concours. |

I only saw one of the Mad Bob cars on track and it was less than fast. Seemed to be geared too short for that track. DOn't know which (2.7 or 3.2) it was. He had a 944 to race against, so maybe they had some fun anyway.
I took a good look at the Boxster Spec car kit. It is a good deal. I built one of the first Boxster Spec R cars back in Florida, and spent more money on my build than they are charging for the parts and labor. Starting with a 6-7k Boxster, they can put you in a turnkey racer for less than $30k total. You can't be competitive for much less than that unless you go for a 944. |
