Boy - that brought back memories!
My first exposure to Porsche racing was riding with Paul Haas at Carlsbad Raceway in his 914 in the early '70s. At the end of the straight was a great place to watch the 911's lift the inside front wheel several inches off the ground, and taking laps at speed with Paul was a real blast.
As a kid fresh out of college and without much in the way of "discretionary funds", I didn't even consider participating (although I drove an MGB roadster back then), but it was fun to watch and listen to the Porsches on the track.

We raced off road cars there in the 70's-80's and had the pleasure of helping on a vintage race there @ 1985 (I think). We ran an MGB with this unbeleivable Geise motor and Zora Duntov actually drove one of the CERV prototype cars around the track. Amazing track with some real challenging and fun turns.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying the blog...it's fun bringing back some great memories.

Kim that's wild...you were there!...wow, we probably saw each other back then and had no idea what the future would bring!
