WOW!!
I actually got this to work. Unbelievable. Thanks Vegas Racer You da man. Speaking of Vegas, does this car look familiar to you. It was once all black and white with Rivieras and no flares. Came from a Las Vegas Owner.
Finally, Here it is the G prod Porsche. Enjoy the pics.

Very nice!
What seat do you have in it?
Mike
Alright Randy!
Way to go!
When's the first race?
Hi Mike,
It's a Kirkey road racing seat with leg additions. Best seat I've ever had. Very comfortable and I sit low enough in it. At a little over 6 feet I had problems with alot of the other seats, my head didn't clear the roll bar by the required amount.
Here's a final picture from the back.

Chris,
Due to family commitments the first race will be the third weekend in March at Buttonwillow in Central California where these pictures were taken.
Randy
Glad I could help.
Was the car a racer when it had a Vegas owner? I do not recognise it.
I did have a black '74 with Rivieras twelve years ago, but it was bone stock.
Hi John,
It's been a race car all its life so far as I can detemine. It used to be kind of greenish yellow and was raced in Mexico as the Tecate car. I've been told it was driven in Mexico by a former Champ car driver but I can't confirm that. Owner from 1999 says he has a picture of the car with the driver and the tecate girls draped over the car but I haven't been able to get a copy of it from him. He's retired and traveling the world from what I understand. His last post to me came from the Syrian desert where he and his daughter were traveling on Belgian passports.
She looks like Ann Kournikova and wants to be, and is, a danger journalist. If you want to have some fun Google "Meg Smaker" . Her dad is Jon Smaker, the previous owner.
I can see a little of the yellowish/green color under the current paint. It was also a metallic blue at some other time.
Its taken me a year but I've finally gone completely through the car. The only items left to be done are to finish the paint and get new graphics with Car 54 on it. At some point in time I'll list everything thats been done. It's a long list.
Randy

Nice car!
I have a kirkey race seat i'm looking to either sell or ideally trade for a street worthy race seat. Here are a few pics, i can take more if interested. http://coewww.rutgers.edu/~yarin/my914/slides/IMG_6321.html http://coewww.rutgers.edu/~yarin/my914/slides/IMG_6387.html PM if interested.

Hey Crazy Hippy,
Nice moniker. I've known Jim Naylor for a quite a while (Promoter at Ventura) and he's doing my new graphics for me on the car and my suit so I figure I can at least promote the "best little dirt track in the west". I've driven a 360 sprinter on the dirt but never a Porsche 914.
Actually, some of the parts on my car came from a car that was raced in Santa Maria on the dirt track there by somebody who is on this list or is known on the list. Sorry but can't remember who but he is one of our a parts suppliers. That car was banned because it was too fast. Led every race and won by several laps from what I understand. So, our cars run like snot on dirt tracks but I hope this one will stay on the pavement and not get out into the dirt too often.

I've met jim a few times, I'm good friends w/ Wes Richardson (currently driving a 360 Sprint for Ron Baaaach , he's run ponies and modifieds at ventura over the last 5 or 6 years, and this will be his 2nd in a sprint) and have spent way to many nights freezing to death at that track
Great looking car, Good luck w/ it.
BJH
Garages at Buttonwillow!????
It's been a long time since I've raced there.
Good luck, Randy.
