i returned this evening from the vintage grand prix at watkins glen, 4 years running the largest vintage racing event in the country. Very good turnout this year, and porsche was the featured mark.
I saw about 10 - 15 914s including race cars, more than I've ever seen there. Are they really getting that popular out east? caution, many pictures I went a little nuts. Up first are car show pics, including a yellow 914 I believe owned by a club member Attached image(s)

next, the racers paddock. Here's a couple low budget operations for you...why race one cobra and GT40 when you can have 2 at twice the price (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

last but not least...the crew. I am in yellow.
It won't let me upload any more pics! ah well... In conclusion, its a great event that gets overlooked I think. The racing is awesome and the amount of cars overwhelming. Now you know.... (IMG:http://drewzimber.com/images/crew_800600.jpg) (IMG:http://drewzimber.com/images/crew2_800600.jpg) |

QUOTE(drewvw @ Sep 10 2006, 06:46 PM)  rare birds: authentic 550 spyder and detomatso mangusta Is it just me, or do those wheels on the 550 look like 4 lug VW steel chromies (8 slots vs 10 for the Porsche 5 lug)? Great pictures, you can almost hear the cars on the track! Thanks, |

QUOTE(drewvw @ Sep 10 2006, 06:34 PM) most successfully raced 908 Carerra GTS .... Typo? The car pictured is a 904 Carrera GTS. Or at least some species of 904; could even be a 904-6... --DD |
