Schweeet! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) One of my all time favorite cars.
Last time I saw #20 it was being loaded on a transporter as I was walking to lunch...not sure if it subsequently returned to the location where it resided before that, or not. I don't remember so much crackle on the overrun/decel it the (depressingly few) NA 917's I've heard...I wonder if it was running properly that day, or was way rich or something? |

member? what's a member? Group: Members Posts: 3,393 Joined: 30-January 04 From: Evansville, IN (SIRPCA) Member No.: 1,615 Region Association: None |
What was that?
Why would one take such a car to such a small/tight track? Was there any other cars on the track? Perhaps they were learning how to drive? Looks like a fun track car though. |

Hmmmm, I just had an idea....
Buy a 917 and have people pay for rides around the track. Like flying in those old WWII bombers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) |

Several years ago I watched Chock Stoddard, in his 917 coupe, play with a Lola and a few other cars at Mosport Park. A few years ago I saw a 917 run at Watkins Glen. Someone mentioned at the time that the cars (917's) had to run vintage tires (IE 70's tires) since nothing was available in the correct size & compound currently. So, they had to take it easy so as not to blow a tire. |

There is supposed to be one at the Mt-Tremblant Sommet des Légendes next month.
I cant wait to see and hear it. By the way there will be a special parking for P cars: Rennsort Porsche Corral It would be nice to meet there if others are planning to go. |
