Day 1 photodump of SVRA cars. I’ve only edited this first one.

Also, in my last two posts, it looks like Kinja kinja’d the resolution on my photos. Let me know if you see that, too, and if so, what I can do about it. I promise I took these with a real prosumer-level camera (seewwww fawwwceeeehhh, etc...) and not a potato.

“Can you just color-match this ladder?”

Brood.

Hardtop.

This couple also has a golf cart with a Martini livery. I want to be their friend.

600 hp.

Well, I’m feeling special.

This gentleman maintains all of the cars in the above tent.

Stirling Moss drove Monaco in this car. He took the lower side panels off because it was so hot.

1.5 V8.

Almonds? Raisinettes? Cashews? I know the aisle at Costco.

Perfect.

Creepin.’

Yeah, he was super cool to talk to. I need to go interview him for real before the week is out.

You totally should. He’ll probably be hard to find and busy, but if you get a chance to interview him, it’d be worth a shot.

Say hi to Frank Beck if you get a chance. His 914/6 is pretty stout.

For all the vintage buffs stuck out on the west coast, VARA is running their annual Big Bore Bash out at Willow Springs this weekend. Come out and watch some Detroit Iron and other vintage cars rumble around Big Willow.

We saw SVRA at VIR in a very sloppy day with Trans Am. A lot of the teams felt they had about as much fun as they were going to get, and were packing up. But the cars were available in the paddock and the drivers were happy to talk. The racing was very clean, unfortunately the girds werren’t as big as they could have been. But some groups of the lower-powered touring cars, were a blast to see in the rain.

It’s supposed to rain here on Saturday. That should make for some interesting pictures.

It’s probably the most desirable 914 I’ve seen.
