Anyone else coming to support Brant?

If so, let's hook up for some 914 group support at COTA!

Made it to Austin late afternoon. F1 billboards everywhere!

Found the Hotel, then ran down 6th Street for a Texas Steakburger.

Off to COTA in the morning to find Brant.

Got home from the 5 day event in Austin at COTA! Wow, what a fantastic Vintage event.

SVRA completely overflowed the track facilities with Over 400 entrants

Pits were spread out in 4 areas: The paddock and Garages, the area outside of turn 13, the area between turns 12 & 13, then parking lot "A" outside of the main grandstands.

I attached an annotated map with green rectangles showing where all the cars were pitted.

To help explain how big the pits were, Out of all of the 914s that I did photograph, I saw several 914s on track, and even with combing the pits several times, never found their pit area...??

Brant came with two other Colorado entrants (both Super Vees with Type IV power). To pit together, they were in the Main Grand Stands, Parking lot A.

The COTA facility is so large they have multiple shuttles running to take you back and forth around to the track. We walked everywhere the 1st day, then gave up and rode the shuttles. Just the walk from Brant's pit area, through tunnel one, then down to the media center where timing was setup was a LONG walk.... Big Place. And to get back to the pit area between turn 12 & 13, where Frank Beck was pitted, was definitely a hike.

They also were setting up all of the temporary facilities for F1 so that was interesting to see...

Pics are on my camera so I have to download them now so I can post....

Brant's car is absolutely spectacular.

It looks fantastic in all of the pics posted on 914world, but trust me, they don't do his car justice. So well engineered and constructed. The quality is outstanding.

It was in the 90s up through Friday, then it rained on Saturday and dropped down into the upper 60s.... You can see the clouds moving in, in the first pic...

Pit neighbor behind Brant is Alan Johnson from Grand Junction, CO, which might be a familiar name to some here....

I Love the VW logo on the trunk lid. Just 'twisting the knife' into the big V8 cars behind him.

Betty and I were there on Sunday. Got to see some really nice cars run, including the Trans Am cars.

Sorry we missed y'all in the paddock.

That Trans Am race was awesome. We were on the starting grid when they opened it up to see all of the cars just before the race.

Brant on the straight headed up to turn 1. Boy does his car sound great with his new pipe. (Best shot I could get with our pocket camera....)

That's the F1 Podium on the 2nd story. The 1st open garage below will be Vettle....

Here's a couple 914s that I could not find in the pits. Really wanted to check them out.

Big Bore group. This 914 held of the V8 Panoz the entire race.

This 914 ran in Group 8 with Brant. Saw him spin in the esses during practice finding the limit.
