I wanted a quote for the car - as I would like a home for my 993 vram

As in... you wanted to stick your 993 motor in that car?

Well... that's the Targa practice GT and ex-Brumos car. Pretty sure you'd have to be shot for such an offense,

This was a great event.

That orange 29 teener is a 1.7 dual carbed.

Whoever was driving drove the heck out of this car. It ran late Sunday in the Group seven race and held it's own until the 1.7 gave up it's life.

I wanted to talk with the guy but he left early after the car gave up...anybody know who that is?

There were also was a unbelievable crash up in the corkscrew late Sunday that I just missed getting on vidieo.

I missed most everyone in the biergarten....I went to the one in the Paddock but must have missed the group.

Chris Frank was driving the car. The race showing does not reflect the cars speed. The motor is a 40 over 1.7 liter, in need of fine tuning. There were some issues with a bad set of main bearing seals and cylinder clearances causing two rebuilds of the motor the week of the event. Then on Friday the transmission seal went. Only 8 few laps were completed in the car. The car should have been turing 1.45 laps but a bent the throttle pivot ended the day before the driver was able to get some clear track. According to Clark Anderson Elliott did the same thing with the 30 car in 1973. There are some handling and carb issues that are being addressed. Elliott was really great too, he spoke with the car owner for some time.

Abarth's -- that's the front end I wish they would have given a style nod to with the Cayman. If they made the driving lights a little bigger it would have been a cool Abarth reflection.

Thanks Eric . The fellas way back then had some ideas that they didn't seem to mind trying. I do like early cars more than moderns , simplistic ideas are great, no need for a "multi media entertainment center" in the car to enjoy it. Gone for a lot of folks are the days of driving for the sake of driving , instead of point A to B .

The car in Group 7 was 59. That is the 3 liter penske shocked, 915 gearboxed super 6 from Brumos being driven by Hurley Haywood.

Both the 29 Chris Frank car and the 59 Hurley Haywood car ran in Group 2 on Saturday. Haywood had pole position and the 29 car was last on the grid, not because it was slowest but rather because it didn't have a qualifying time on Friday.

I don't recall how the 29 car fared but Haywood dropped out on the 4th lap (I think). Really a shame because his car was easily the fastest in the race and was pulling away from the field before it all went south.

Here's a shot of both cars in the race (Haywood's 59 car has already been pulled into the pits).

Checked out my pics which I'll try to post later.........the 29 car was in the Group two the 59 group 7 both teeners were in the front on in the pack during their groups. Both are great cars.
There were also was a unbelievable crash up in the corkscrew late Sunday that I just missed getting on vidieo.

That was a pic from the Quail that someone sent to the uploader.

Those are the two (and only!) 356B-based "dreikantschraeber" (three-cornered scraper) cars. They were prototypes for new bodies I think, and didn't have anything to do with the Abarths despite the superficial resemblance. They did a story in Pano about them a couple of years ago, and it was cool to see the both of them on the lawn. There were something like ten of the Abarths over on another part of the lawn, and you can see the difference if you look.

Just emailed that in from my phone so you can see it better.

The Dreikantschabers are very, very cool. And super cool to have them together for the first time in decades.

There were so many cool cars at this event. Here's a quick video that gives you at least some sense of how many were there:

Also have to say RRIV was surprising to me for another reason: I think it was the first major CA Porsche event I have ever been to where there were more 914s in the paddock than in the corral. Not sure what to take away from that...

Holy Moly! That turned out great Pete! You must be very proud...

I am, but there is a lot of wind noise, trim fit, squeaks, etc. to work through to make it drive like it looks again. You (!) know how "one thing" goes. In my case, paint turned into much, much more.

Kinda taped it together for the weekend, and wheezed my way down and back. The "question liter" engine hasn't been out of the chassis since at least 1986, and it feels like it has no more than 50-60 hp.

Time for a small-bore six, methinks...

Well this is news! Something with some 'attitude' but with 'manners' to go with it I'm sure. I take it you met Eric Shea at the RR? Between him and Paul Sayegh's influence, I am sure there is a six in my car's future...

I believe you're just looking for the list of drivers at the autograph sessions and not an event program. If it's the former, I've already deleted the list, but will see if I can find it. If it's the latter you can order it online or call the souvenir store (800-327-7332).

Found this video of the overachieving 1.7L car running in the Saturday Group 2 race. Can't help but cheer as "29" passes car after car, including a 904. Jammed throttle linkage ended its day:
