Harald sent me a little bit of racing history of his 914 and the 917 in the photo.
"That is the Monster under construction sitting next to Otis Chandler's 917. I was to beat Otis in that with my monster at Ontario Motor Speedway two years later in a time trial. Johnny Thomas, who nannied that car and Otis' 930, was much faster in them. I'm attaching a picture of the three cars at the annual Porsche Parade in San Diego". Thanks again, Harald[size=2] Attached image(s) |

In another frame I can see Von K's front fender . At a POC event at RIR, I won a raffle for 5 laps in the 917/30 with Otis driving. I got into that little bucket seat and off we went for the most brutal E ticket ride of my life. The G forces and wind were sucking that bell helmet right off my head, I had a chin strap rash after the ride. The top gear acceleration down the back straight was similar to my FIRST gear launch in my car. There is no speedo in that car but Otis told me that we were topping 200. BTW, he was an excellent road racer, surfer, scholar , gentleman . He changed my life with that car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Marty |
