New to me Book on 914, Brian Long's history Options

[DNHunt]

Last week I was in Portland and got to spend a little time at Powell's Book Store. It is supposed to be the largest used bookstore in the country so I went to the car area looking for a deal on some new reading material. I found a copy of Brian Long's "Porsche 914 914-6". It's a pretty good read and has plenty of pictures that were new to me so, I enjoyed it. I used it to kill time at a convention.

Here's a cool picture of the cars being prepped for the Marathon de la Route. The parts kind of make you drool. I think this is the origin of the lost warehouse.



Here is Ralph Meaney on the banking at Daytona. Very cool



Plenty of artsy stuff too including girls in bell bottoms for us old guys.



Some of the history was a little different than I've read before but, I only found 1 mistake. Unless he was talking about Mexican pistons, I don't think he really wanted to say they used Mole pistons in a six.
