Craig trophied first time out. The guy's an AX animal

We had a nice day and had over 50 cars/drivers.
Craig (the animal), Jim, Dave, Bruce (sans 914), Mike(no guts/no drive) and one other fella who's name escapes me......so the 914 contingent was out in force.

I stunk up the joint, but Chuck did gud. Haven't done a tank slapper for a while so I took care of that today
Bruce ought to have some pics for us any day now.

A yup I gots plenty including a couple artsy fartsy thingys
1. Dave Hunt made the trip down & showed off his Mega Squirt

Here's Craig getting his sticky tiars on

Dave H gett'n to the gate a little too hot!

Here he smokes the chicago box
Right on Dave

JP got too much power on this turn Yeeeeeeee haaaaaaa

Craigs turn to smoke'm

Craig goin to tech insp.

Craigs car actually stays flat for having the V8 in it.


B

Craig's ready!

Jim Chambers get'n smoke

Bill Maitlands 1.7 that doesn't stay flat

But it's a really nice example of a stock 914

1 more of Bills 914

JP is doin what he does best... turnin da wheel! c'mon ULF, TURN!

Came close to having an accident... This tail dragger got too hot in the slolom & lost it, the wall was real close!

This is Jim Chambers 914 & our timers Carrera.....

they go pretty good together

Insteresting. I see Yoko AVS intermediates on the 1.7 but they look different on the wheels compared to what I'm used to seeing. Are they 195/50's or 205/50's ?? Anyone ??



B

T'was a wee bit foggy first thing this mornin but it made for a good photo of Jims beauty!

and the last piece of art........

everyone had a great time. the Boxsters out numbered the 914's & the tail draggers were as many as the Boxsters and then some.....
had a few spin outs & one M3 (Z3) did a 360 but, of course, I ran outta batteries at that moment so I didn't get the shot

Oh well, next time. CD's will be made for the guys at the AX that wants them. Craig is on a movie and his V8 sounds great. He even lost it goin sideways twice for a few seconds for the movie

enjoy the pics.........
.............b

Thanks for the pics Bruce! We have a new "Pic of the week".

Nice shots (as usual) Bruce. I'll have to steal a couple of these

Thanks JP but wait till I get you a CD. There's more of you & ULF than I posted including a movie

........b

I think Bart Simpson got reflected in the bumper

Nice pics Bwooth. Id love a CD (hint hint...)

Great pics, Thanks

Bruce... very nice pictures. I wish I had been there.

-Rusty

(in fact, I wish I was anywhere else...)

no word from dave. i hope he made it home.

kevin

I/we wished you were anywhere else too Rusty. Just stay safe as you can & get home soon

.......b

His wife prolly 's got him in chains since he ONLY told her about goin at 4:30 in da mornin!!!

...........b

Made it home safe and sound, thanks for the concern.

Thanks to all of the Portland guys. I had an absolute ball! The course was great fun and wasn't the puzzle to figure out that Bremerton was. I could find all the gates so I just got to drive (not too well). I never did get the far end close to right. there was a crown in the middle of the turn so the car unweighted then came down to off camber the rest of the way around. No matter how I tried, I couldn't get the car turned early enough so I was all over. I'm still too late braking (Bruce captured all the smoke in the Chicago box. But I'm still getting better.

Incidentally Bill in his 1.7 handed me my helmet. It may look like handful but he gets the car around really well.

The high point had to be 2 loops with JP in ULF. What an absolute blast! Thanks JP.
I finally understand the 6 thing. I can't really put it into words.

The Portland guys get business done, I got home before 4PM.

There was a price to pay for waking my wife up at 4:30 in the morning to say I was going to Portland. She was pretty pissed about me not telling her earlier so we could talk about it. It was worth it though for a ride in Ulf.

Dave

I just watched the movie of JP and, I must say, the last stretch looks like a champion bowler pickin up the last 3 pins for a spare cones were "literally" flyin!!! Wished I could post it.

.........b

P.s. Dave, glad you made it home ok & thanks for coming down.

Hey Craig, where the group grope pic you had taken of all us 914ers???

.........b

Managed to extract 2 pics from JP's movie of the cone annihilation

the movie is much better
GUD job JP

.......b

3rd cone.........

Ooops.....

Had trouble all day with that section.....figured if I wiped it out, they wouldn't put it back....thas my story and I"m stickin' to it

Well here they are, the PNW914club race team, with the team photographer.
From left to right is Dave Hunt , Jim Chambers Craig C. Laughlin, JP Stein and Bruce Allert
One of the other photos with the blue car has Jim Maitland behind the wheel.
I am hold my prize for winning my class, a Solid Chocalate Cadbury Bunny.

Dave hasn't even gone out with JP yet, and he is grinning from ear to ear....is there a six in Daves future??

did he have to pay for the ride? It looks like JP is collecting a toll!

Last but not least......

Fun Runs for a buck at the end of the day.
