Monterey Historic Races
#1

I was at the Monterey Historic Races on both days this past weekend. Parked in the Porsche corral and I noticed that there were 2 other 968s present. Once was a Guards Red Cabrio and the other was a Coupe in what appeared to be a bit bluer metallic blue than my Midnight Blue Metallic. Was anyone from the Forum there?



I saw some awesome cars, including a 924 Carrera. Also present:, a 907, a couple of 906's, a 908, a 908 Bergspyder more 935 K3s and K4s than I have ever seen in one place and a nice collection of older Porsches including an unrestored car that had raced Le Mans in 1955 and a 1951 Coupe, a 356 Carrera, a Porsche Abarth, an RS-60 and a pair of RS-61s.



The final race on sunday was a knockdown dragout IMSA race with all of the 935's going up against a triplet of Dekon Monzas, a couple of Corvettes, an absolutely over the top Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Boxer Le Mans. They also ran 4 normally aspirated 1974 RSR's in this group.

Was that your car at the Sea Harvest in Moss Landing for supper Saturday, with the Porsche corral tag on the dash and the driving gloves inside? I was there in a rental SUV; my group was trying to pick the 968 owner out of the crowd of diners, but the car was still there when we left so we never knew. I was at the races for Saturday only but never made it to the corral.

That was indeed, my car. I was sitting at a corner table with a friend who came down with me. I was wearing a white Porsche ball cap, but removed it when I came into the restaurant. I was wearing a white T-shirt with a 910 Bergspyder on the back.

We never saw you so you weren't one of our "potential owner" candidates. We sat right next to the door, three guys--one walked very slowly, with a walking stick--and my teenage niece. I had on a white Road Atlanta T-shirt.



968s passing in the night....

Perhaps what we need here is for a forum member with a creative bent to come up with a really nice shirt design with a 968 image on the back that can't be missed. Sorry we missed you. Perhaps some of the forum members are interested in attending the ALMS in October as group. I know tha there will be a Porsche Corral set up.
