    Super!
    On second glance I noticed that car next to yours. Is that an Alfa GTV6?

    I started in 1999 when it was still the Speedvision WC with a local team here in Montreal that ran VWs (TRAC Racing) and through them got to know and later work with some others over a couple of years. In 2001 & 2002 I worked a couple of events each year for Protomotive and their Mazda Proteges driven by Charles Espenlaub and Roger Foo. In between I also worked a weekend with Jason Potter and his Type R, hung out with Grant and Sam Lockwood and their red Prelude, knew guys like Scott Bove when he first ran his 911, Scotty B. White, PD, Pierre K, Carol Holfelder and others.

    Had a lot of unsanctioned fun at tracks every summer. :D

    No wonder I remember that, year of my High School graduation. I bought a 1976 Datsun F10, no not a B210, as my first car. Just admired that Alfa from afar:)

    Now this is a small world...I raced with and knew Scotty B, Carol, PD Cunningham ( his nsx days) Pierre and Roger back then. We actually were right next to Roger Foos cars at several events, including at Watkins Glen. We use to smack talk with Scotty B of Vipers versus Corvettes. I raced in GT class with Phil McClure, Randy Pobst, Boris Said, Eric Curran and I remember Caro; F was driving her Mustang back then...back around 2003. WCGT was very affordable back then...now 600K GT3 cars and back then entry was like $ 750....now its like 7K a weekend entry and up...Cheaper to own a Mega Yacht:)

    Let's hurry up and sell some boats. I'll mod the hell out of this place if it helps to save up for one. :D

    Kevin,

    New Supra. New C8 Vette. EV revo upon us. Toyota returning to 2000 roots. Good time to be a car nut.

    Nothing to make me give up T4R. ;)

    I'm just debating what dealership to hit up this summer for a test drive... needs to be one with some good roads in the vicinity.

    Dunno' if a 951 Porsche is an exotic, when I try to find a mechanic for it he says its an exotic, so I guess it would qualify.:cool: This thing is pretty fast for an 80's ride. Just did a cam belt replacement, cone filter, front spoiler lip, yeup its pretty fun..:cool: WIN_20151207_12_30_06_Pro.jpg
