Thanks to everyone for taking the time to post these great pics of days gone by.
I find this much nostalgia to be very inspirational and it sure beats the library. :D

Circa 1973, PCA time trial at Laguna Seca (I learned how to drive in this 1969 Porsche 911E, three years later…)

All right gents, jump into the hot tub time machine and pop out in 1973, I was there and shot these photos, not bad for a 12 yr old.

1973 Porsche Parade, Monterey, CA

Concours on the green.


Porsche Carrera RSR. Houndstooth pants!


Yours truly with the white Porsche T-Shirt holding my freshly signed book, "PORSCHE A Man and His Cars" signed by Dr. F. Porsche right behind me talking with Lou Marable, president of PCA. Louise Piech is to the left, she asked me how my studies were. Honestly, all I did in school was illustrate Porsches.

I went to high school with Darin Brassfield, we used to race around the mountain roads, "practicing" :auto-driving:

My dad arrived at the 1987 PCA time trial at Laguna Seca a day early and BF Goodrich was there tire testing and a photoshoot that Jeff Zwart was shooting. Here are some photos my dad shot of his euro spec '76 Carrera 3.0, Darin and the BF Goodrich Porsche 962 that he raced.

Later that weekend on the time trial. Here I am in the Carrera 3.0 pit out, wicked fast Porsche. This was on the older 1.9 mi track layout. Coming out of the left handed hairpin turn 9 I could run the Carrera flat out up the straight and be shifting into fourth gear just under the bridge cresting over the hill and down into turn 2. Back on the old course going into turn 2, you had to plant the rear of the 911 down hard - keep your foot flat out and don't lift. Quite a rush at 115mph.



Race gas.
