Back to the late 70's, the ride along (in a jump-seat) in this 917/30.
Car was in the ownership of Otis Chandler, I won a ride for 20 minutes around Riverside Int'l Raceway...I was hypnotized by that raucous symphony. Over 200+mph down the back straight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) This was the Talledega record car...which was formerly in the Cam 2 livery for the record run. BTW Otis also owned the Gulf 917 in the pic. |

Otis was an interesting character. He lived life to the fullest!
His car and motorcycle collection was really something to see. We had some dealings with him back in the day. |

He was a good man, and a gentleman racer, I also fitted his new 930 with a set of my stainless steel headers...brought them over to the old Hollywood location of Bob Smith Porsche + Audi. Proper gent of large esteem , never put his wealth in your face , always greeted me "Hi Martin, how goes it?". Rare today when speaking with that class of peeps... |
