Day before the opening day of RR7 was the photo staging of "Family of Porsche Icons". Don't know the reason that #40 was center > but cool ! Marty, This is more than COOL my brother. Totally over the top. Someone needs to make posters for our caves! Best Bob B And it makes a great wallpaper for my phone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Will this be a poster some day? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) What a great steward for this ICON, thanks for taking such good care of her Count me in for sure, I am sure someone can do it in poster form. After we patch our rusted hulks together with a wing and a prayer. |

@Shivers we ran the track with period correct Dunlops (treaded) not slicks, as our exhibit class was non-competitive/ exhibit only. The car stuck just as well dry or moist tarmac, and front straight was always w-o-t 2nd 3rd + 4th (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

For every #40 photo I see, cannot help but wonder about the seats. I forgot to look when I was at RR7. There is so much headroom, are they tight to the pan? Maybe Sonauto designed it that way for helmet clearance?

Maybe Sonauto designed it that way for helmet clearance? Agreed, what I also have wondered was the ride height? seems like alot of ground clearance especially when near a 917. Who am I to wonder, the proof is in the history books |

Hey nice rack! -Celette Group: Members Posts: 20,783 Joined: 30-December 02 From: Now in Superior WI Member No.: 43 Region Association: Northstar Region |
maybe someone has asked already but what are you running for wheels and tires? Any spacers? Another question: Any details of the front trunk with the gas tank?
