Si... the car's at Kundensport in Camarillo. The owner is rather quiet from what I understand. You may want to check in with Hans there.

A lot of sorting to do yet...but it sure was great to drive a 14 there and back.

Most of all... we had a great time taking in the sights and the local flavors:

Your buddy's green 6 GT may be my new favorite 914. That thing is ridiculous!

And sure wish I coulda made Baja...

This was a great event.

That orange 29 teener is a 1.7 dual carbed.

Whoever was driving drove the heck out of this car. It ran late Sunday in the Group seven race and held it's own until the 1.7 gave up it's life.

I wanted to talk with the guy but he left early after the car gave up...anybody know who that is?

There were also was a unbelievable crash up in the corkscrew late Sunday that I just missed getting on vidieo.

I missed most everyone in the biergarten....I went to the one in the Paddock but must have missed the group.

I talked to the guy for a bit on Saturday, I think his name is Frank.
The car is one built by Ginther racing for the 72 season as part of Porsches attempts to get the 914/4 more involved in racing with 914/6 ending production. There was a sister car (back in 72 not at Rennsport) number 30 driven by my friend Dwight Mitchell.
The number 29 was originally driven by Elliott Forbs Robinson. On Friday at Rennsport the car owner, Frank, was talking with someone when someone else tapped him on the shoulder and pointed out that "Elliott" was spelled with 2 "t"s, Frank turned and was face to face with Elliott Forbs Robinson.
Elliott really like seeing the car and signed the sail panel while he was there.

Yes a 1.7 engine, the only 4 cylinder engine in the 914s in 72.
I had never realized the car had slight flares in the rear.

Chris Frank was driving the car. The race showing does not reflect the cars speed. The motor is a 40 over 1.7 liter, in need of fine tuning. There were some issues with a bad set of main bearing seals and cylinder clearances causing two rebuilds of the motor the week of the event. Then on Friday the transmission seal went. Only 8 few laps were completed in the car. The car should have been turing 1.45 laps but a bent the throttle pivot ended the day before the driver was able to get some clear track. According to Clark Anderson Elliott did the same thing with the 30 car in 1973. There are some handling and carb issues that are being addressed. Elliott was really great too, he spoke with the car owner for some time.

Thanks for that.

All I can say is that Chris was pulling some great lines through the corkscrew while out handling the assdraggers. Great driving and great car.

Thanks for the history and info...I saw the signature in the sharpie....didn't know that until now.

Here's a short video showing the cars in the Green Corral on Saturday.
My wife is overwhelmed by the number of 911's in the lot:
