It seems different threads end up talking about some Vellios parts. It seemed he had quite a few good ideas for 914s, mostly 10 years ago it seems. I heard that he had pretty much retired, and I last talked to him a few years ago. Any of you California types know what he's up to? It seems some of the conversions parts that are becoming available are similar to his ideas. Neat guy from what I remember - he was very nice to talk to.

Agree. Otto and I were part of ARE's 1996 pit crew at the 24 hours of Daytona so I know him pretty well. Otto also rode with me once at the Streets of Willow in my 944 Turbo. We were shown the meatball flag and exited the track......on fire! But that is another story.
