As some of you know, I worked the 000 booth. An exhausting week, what with set up, the event and take-down/trailering home Sunday night. But cool, cool, cool!
I'll start with some of my favorite 911s:

Here are just a couple pics I got of people who wandered into the booth to catch up with our very own @horizontally-opposed Pete Stout. This is Peter Brock, designer of the Daytona Coupe, among other things, who came by on set up day. Our Pete looks up and says, "Hey Pete! You mentioned we should get into Pike's Peak. Come over and take a look at the record setting car..."
I'm just standing there with my chin on the floor. I'm such a fan-boy...

Here's Grant Larson (in the BOSS jacket) chatting with 000 co-founder Alex. For those who, like me, don't know who this guy is:

"Larson joined Porsche in 1989. As an Exterior Designer, he was responsible for bold and breakthrough designs for the original Boxster and Panamera automobiles."

Important people whose work has impacted my life were just "stopping by to say hi...'

That includes another of our 914 family: @Eric_Shea , with his wife Dianne, talking with Pete there in the background.

The absolute best part is that to a person, they were as nice as could be, willing to hang out and answer questions, take pics with the fans, etc. Just so crazy cool.

And here are a couple non-glamour, behind the scene shots on load-out day. It was fun talking with the team guys. Again, just a bunch of regular guys "at work". I'm drooling and they're just going about their buisness, totally unimpressed with themselves and the hardware.

Funny about the Newman 911: The team couldn't find their trailer as the guy who parked it wasn't around and no one could get him on a phone. While the search was on, I got to talk with the crew chief, hear about the weekend, etc. As with all these other people, as soon as I started asking about the car, he opens the engine lid, starts telling me about the issue they ran into with some eletrical component... Just regular folks at work, dealing with crap to get through their day.
What a weekend.

Back in Scottsdale last night from my first RR. Had a great time and agree, met several over the 4 days and everyone was very accommodating, including running into Jochen Mass and JR Hildebrand the first morning.
Experienced the corkscrew, sort of, with the lapping Sunday group though unfortunately it was raining in spite of blue skies!! Got to follow one of Eric's crew in his nice Gulf blue 914-6...
Pretty much sensory overload!!

Got in late/early this morning.
My boys and I had a great time. Saw some great cars and some great people.
I can't say enough about Eric Shea and the crew at PMB.
I was in the PMB booth and asked about a throttle cable. Eric had one of his crew(Holly) get on the phone with a supplier and arrange a Saturday delivery to my hotel.

What's the story with this? I've been around long enough that I should probably know, but sometimes I don't pay attention. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

What's the story with this?

In 2004 Laguna Seca was paving an area at the top of the Corkscrew. The 914club members sponsored 2 bricks.
(Search 'brick' for topics and you can find several threads.)

When you have a cool neighbor in the exhibit tent who needs you to get into their 917, and put in neutral and steer while being pushed

Headed out for the lapping session Sunday AM. I guess only in CA can it rain with blue skies... boy the car needed a GOOD bath, inside and out, on Monday after I got back to Scottsdale!!
OK it's not a 914, but it's not the early '70's anymore, and I'm not in my 20's anymore either!Attached Image


I followed one of Eric Shea's buddies in a nice Gulf blue 914- and there was a split window 356 (with French yellow headlights) in the row next to me!
