It's been years since I've attended but Historic Races still have the intimate exposure to the cars, owners, and drivers...
Ok, so you had to wait in line to get a few seconds with someone like Jim Hall... Sorry for not hooking up with anyone, I was really pushed for time in the afternoon. Plus I am so out of shape walking up the hills was a challenge. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) I did manage to find Pat's campsite (I think) but no one was there. If you're missing a Pilsner... Attached image(s) |

I have many more pics but mostly of overpowered, beautiful, and rust free cars which may be considered OT on this site... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
truthfully, it take a lot of time to resize my pics. I need a new computer with more than Win98 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) |

Nice pics..
You need Win98... it's fine... you need to get a good graphics proggy, and learn about the batch functions.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Poopers are 'pool man'... M |

I saw most of the Chaparral collection at the Amelia Island Concours a couple of years ago. The 2E and 2C in the photo were there, along with a front engine Mk1, the 2D coupe, 2F coupe, the 2J fan car, and the 2K Indy winner. The 2H shown in the photo was not there. I've always been a Chaparral fan so it was great to see them. I was surprised how compact they all were, even the boxy 2J. They seemed to be smaller than today's LMP1 cars like the Audi R8, but there was no modern cars to compare them to so I can't be sure. If I ever get the chance I would like to visit Jim Hall's Chaparral Museum in Midland, Texas. Thanks for the photos, Neo914-6! |

Rich, Someone posted a pic of the Black Altec Lansing that was here Fri or Sat. Same car as in the ads with the blonde... Mike, Your welcome, I'm glad to have the opportunity to see the Chaparrals. I'm told it's unlikely they will be pulled out of the museum again. |

One of me w/914 colors and friends...at El Toro on the Monterey Hwy. Old gas station restaurant, a must see if visiting.
My friend Mike on the left has two stored 914-6's and a '73 911S (3 of 19 personal cars). My friend Norman on the right is my old ACCD classmate, he printed the WCC05 tee shirts, designs Yamaha motorcycles, and has a fully restored BMW 2002. Bunch of car nuts!

That would be too bad, but at least the cars have been saved and restored and can be seen in Texas. A few years ago Jim Hall took a few Chaparrals to England for their big Goodwood Historic event and even did some laps in the 2F coupe. I remember reading about it Classics and Sportscar magazine. I guess that was appropriate since the one victory by the 2F came at Brands Hatch (I think) in 1967. |

The pictures of the Altec-Lansing car were themselves archival. The Altec-Lansing car IS now the Cerwin-vega car. Nice guy, a little aloof perhaps but we spent a few minutes talking to him. Car is an original six which has been a race car since arrival on these shores. The guy wants to buy one of Martin's gas caps. He is not on 914Club, didn't even know it existed. Very nicely prepared car. Rob |

Too bad I missed you. That's cool about the Yamaha's. I have a 81 RD350 that I ride once in a while. It's liquid cooled and pretty fun. Would have been fun to chat and show you my car. I saw the same car in the corral. Nice guy that owns it. Used to be his uncles now he has it and is in process or restoring it. I think he knows about this site but I forgot his login id. |

Sorry for the confusion - I posted that archive shot. I said, 'this car was there, but painted in the Cerwin-Vega! colors, which is how it last raced in 1979' I didn't take a camera this year, so I thought am archive shot would avoid the dreaded 'This thread is worthless...' smiley! Richard |
