So a friend of mine that lives in New Mexico is one of the good guys. I don't think he is on the board regularly, but maybe this thread will pull him out of lurker status. He has been into 914's for probably 20 years and has a few. You might recognize his name from Pano advertisements and he runs a small shop doing porsche repairs and projects for folk.

Anyways, I love this picture.
Its real!
and it proves his enthusiasm!
I'll put some of the quoted text from his email too:

" here's a new take on going to the races, tow the RV and toys wiht the race car. I doub't that you saw this at the club races."

"Its like towing a drag chute abouve 70 mph, but remarkably stable to drive. We encountered a 35mph headwind on the way home that was a real drag, but going to La junta we generally were able to do 65 to 70 mph and close to 20 mpg in 4th gear. Coming home it was about 15 mpg and a tough tow at 55 in third You can post in on the club if you'd like. "
