pictures from porsche rennsport reunion @ Lime Rock

Hi RASers, I used to hang out here in RAS, but have been busy with other things lately. One thing I did this last weekend was to go to the Porsche Rennsport Reunion at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut. I took a bunch of pictures of all the vehicles and thought someof the folks in here might like to check them out: http://greenday.ntu.edu/daxe/porsche/page_01.htm ~daxe

Cool pictures, Al Holberts 962 really brought back memories. Is that an annual event? I have to check this out in person, are they going to different tracks?

Daxe, Some nice shots there. In some you seem to have been somewhat distracted from the cars, though :) You wouldn't happen to prefer blondes, would you? I was there on Sunday, looks like a bit later than you (got there around noon). That Gulf 917K seems to have been gone by the time I got there, as was the "Hippie" car and the Prototype. I did take a whole roll of film of the Martini 917 while it was waiting to be loaded onto the transporter, though, including a pretty good shot of the cockpit - they had the driver's door open to push the car around. I'll be scanning my pictures and posting them sometime this weekend.

It's a W3-Triposto. More info can be found here: http://www.928spyder.com

Thanks for the link - I remember seeing info about the 928 Spider before, but have never come across the Triposto. ...Klinn "Pierre Robitaille" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > It's a W3-Triposto. More info can be found here: > http://www.928spyder.com

They just had a Ferrari gand prix or something a couple months ago. I missed that one. I go every year for the vintage racing on Labor day weekend (1st weekend of Sept). I was out at this one because my best friend Andy (also appearing in several pictures) was out form Colorado. he has a 911 of his very own, but wanted to bask in glow of the the 917s. ~daxe

We stayed until almost everything was loaded up, swilling beer in the paddock and leering at the girls walking around. > That Gulf 917K seems to have been gone by the time I got there, as > was the "Hippie" car and the Prototype.

Heck, I probably saw you there and didnt even know it. i forgot to wear my "r.a.s. veteran" pith helmet. ~daxe

"Thom j." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:LXXa7.69571$[email hidden]... > Daxe questions: what camera & format? Nikon Coolpix 990, full res (2048x1538 or whatever it is) and "normal" compression. I fiddled here and there with the white balance and shutter speed just for laughs. I made up a little macro in photoshop to reduce the size, tweak the color and sharpen them up a tad, then batched the suckers. Used ACDSee for the thumbnail pages. > who raced the > red tractors? :) They were under the "Amalfi Racing" tent. If you check their site: http://www.amalfiracing.com/ they apparently sell the things. No word on the lap times though.. > and anymore pics on the Blonde & gals? :)~ there were a couple real honeys there, for sure. There was one cupcake there on Saturday in a string bikini top and cutoff shorts that had guys walking into stuff and falling over their own feet. race cars and pretty girls seem to go hand in hand and that's a GOOD thing. ~daxe

Im glad someone down this thread answered this question because I have (had) no idea! I thought it was unusual, so I took some pix of it. ~daxe

Great pics, Daxe! Thanks for sharing! My own photos are available here: http://www.homestead.com/lugnutsgpl/ Regards, Johnny Lugnuts

daxe, I thought it was digital and my guess would have been the "Nikon Coolpix 990" as it is a nice popular camera! Now where are the pics of the babe in the bikini top? :)~ "O" yea the tractors just seemed real funny but they were not my topic of thought after the babe in the bikini top. :) Thanx for the info -Thom_j. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Wow! Great pictures. Great Porsche day. I saw Donahue drive that Penske 917. Or one very much like it. It had too much power. Everyone agreed. He set a lap record at Laguna that day that stood until they changed the track. -- "Racing! - Science for the action minded." mark "daxe" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:5CJa7.3384$[email hidden]... > Hi RASers, > > I used to hang out here in RAS, but have been busy with other things > lately.
