here are some of my pictures from this weekend. we had a blast!
we got there friday morning and set up the "914Club Tech" trailer (curtsey of Joe Sharp (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) ) and watched the guys do their practice laps all day and finished the day with a small party at the trailer ... for some strange reason, people kept on referring to our little celebration as "rowdy" the next day ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) saturday, the morning was spent getting ready for the parade laps. Mr. "X" will hopefully chime in here and give us a detailed description of the "Follow the Pace-Car" incident ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) after the parade laps, we all gathered back in the paddock and invited all the racecars over for a photo-op. it turned out really well and we had 14 914s lined up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) a BIG thanks to Victory Lane Magazine for their sponsorship and their help to set this up. thanks Pam! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) and another BIG thank you to Bruce Goronsky from the San Francisco SCCA region for the reserved space in the paddock and for making the parade laps a reality! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) another BIG thanks to all of you who showed up and showed their support, it was very much appreciated! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) and of course lets not forget the 6(!) 914s that actually participated in the races. hats off to you, gentlemen! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) tired, but happy, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) Andy PS: oh, and a very personal thank you to Jim for letting me ride shotgun down to laguna and to Jay for letting us spent the night at his house and to Joe for being such a generous host! |

well, first of all, i have a copy of a original porsche brochure that lists available tire/wheel options for the 914/6 GT race-cars. included in that list are 9"/11" wheels to be run under 9"/11" factory flares. according to this document, there *was* a factory option for those flares. second, the owner of the yellow car told me that the flares were original factory GT flares. third, i looked at them from underneath and they didn't show any signs of "widening" in the flare itself, plus they were welded to the fenders just like the original GT and m471 flares, very smooth with almost no visible seam ... all this leads me to believe they're the real deal ...
