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.


The comment I have heard most and what I have personally observed is " moving chicane"


I spent quite a bit of time visiting with Bob having met him for the first time and finding out we are practically neighbors. My conversations with him reminded me of an off-color joke I heard long ago, paraphrasing the punch line, at least he is making himself happy. He appeared to be driving predictably and did not impede those going around him.

Thanks for sharing the pics. I had hoped to make it Sunday to spectate and shoot photos as well but got tied-up with family stuff.

Re. slower cars/drivers on track -- remember speed is always relative and we're just doin' this stuff for fun. I don't mind slower drivers but I do mind oblivious or erratic drivers...sounds like Dr. Bob is being safe and having fun out there.

I busted his nuts about the calipers. Need refinishing.

Great looking car, overall. I hope he scored well. There was a 356 B however, that was incredibly well presented, probably stole the prize.

Are you sure the yellow one is a 914? I've seen more than one 911 that looked a lot like that. One was referred to as a "topless 935" by another club member.

There used to be a couple of those roadster911s in GGR competition
One was owned by Ray Decious and the other is still driven by Gary Walton

They were both built on 911 chassis

I talked to the owner. It started life as an early 911T

Those were exactly the two that I was thinking of!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I saw Walton's first, and it confused the heck out of me at first when I tried to find the air intake/engine location.
