Test and Tune Day at PIR in the Discount Tire Car

What a cool track. Has a Park Like Vibe. Towards the end of the Video you will see a Gulf Blue 911S #72, I pass him on my left, that was Wayne Baker also refreshing his memory of the track from 32 years ago. Some of these Vintage guys are so cool. Cindy and I met Rupe, a guy who built Spring Mountian from bare BLM land. Good Times!!!

Test and Tune Day for newbies.

Beautiful track and some sweet vintage cars. Oh, when those guys went off in front....all I could see were dollar signs flashing across my eyes. But God bless em for running and getting hot.
I'm jealous, for sure.

While I was at Rothsport getting my car fixed that same Red Jag lost a wheel and flipped down the front straight. He was one of the cars in my run group and class. Needless to say the odds are getting better for me. Sorry for his loss. These guys pride themselves on the look and performance of their cars. SVRA has a saying "Some people collect art we race it". We take many risks in this sport. I had some great advice from a PCASDR member. "Are you ready to walk away?" When I see some of these Vintage Cars wadded up it just hurts a little more thinking we may never see that car again.
