Ha, I watched expecting the world to be going sideways across your windshield. Good reactions from everyone to avoid an accident.

Yep... that black 911 balked at the start & bottled me up...2020 hindsight I should have dodged right around him and it all would have been behind me....but it's 2020 sooo....

I will post a few photos from this event. My wife took about 2000 photos during the event. There was a good turnout for the vintage group and a bunch of 914s were there. This was the start of one of the sprint races. Note the first 4 cars.

This guy was the fastest in the vintage group. As I recall he was something like 6 sec faster than the next fastest. Don't know anything about the car.

Thanks for sharing the pics - very nice!

The 911 in the last pic is a tube frame mid engine 911 built by Fabcar that ran in IMSA back on the mid 1990s. Very cool car.

This guy was the fastest in the vintage group. As I recall he was something like 6 sec faster than the next fastest. Don't know anything about the car.

This car used to be Tim McKenzie's before he died, now run by Brian Weathered - owner of Eurosport. He's a good driver, the car is HIGHLY developed...we modeled a lot of Papa Smurf after that car, though this car is basically fully tube frame under that skin. I think Brian set the VGTO class record and was a couple seconds faster than my best...

Watch this video for when Tim (in the #69) and a 911 turbo were racing at Road America. Its a VERY fast car...

And nice heads up driving John - I saw Wayne's in car video (the black 911) when he spun...yes, pinched the turn, cold tires... He's got a 3.6 in that thing!!
Good to see you, sad I couldn't join in the fun...
