Went with my dad to the California Festival of Speed today. There weren't a ton of 914s, but a lot of Porsche fun, and for the cheap price of $10 to park. We were free to roam the infield, peek at cars in the garages, etc. A great time. Here's a small sampling of pictures (using dialup, so I can't upload a ton at this point) I took.

1st picture: The first time I've seen a Carerra GT. Looks pretty nice and it accelerates FAST! Coming out of the corner into the straightaway it took off like a rocket.

Yes, this is an actual Jaguar XJ220! The engine had a huge "XJ220" inscribed on the valve covers, or intake or whatever it was.

BIG brakes on the Carerra GT

Thats right, a 914 leading a Carerra GT. It does seem like a bit of a strange angle to be coming out of a turn, though it might just be the angle.

Tail dragger catching some air, or maybe just the shoulder.
