    Thumbs up SCCA Suday

    Last Sunday Chris Tallon and I took a look at the SCCA National/Regional 'Super Weekend' at CA. Speedway....... I haven't been to a SCCA race (except for a couple of hours at a Northern Cal. regional over 10 years ago) since the early 80's.

    Great day at the races... And I even saw a couple of guys from the 'old days' still make'n it happen...

    - Wolfgang Maike (a name you don't forget over the load speaker) used to drive killer Porsches back in the seventies... a particular bad-ass 914-6 comes to mind. Now drives (I guess for years) and wins in a GT3 Toyota. When I asked "Wolfgang Maike of the '70's?" he said in his German accent "Yeah, yeah... I sould have my head examined"... I think Wolfgang is about about seventy.

    - Andy Porterfield The same guy that's been making and selling brake pads for what seems to be 100 years. Andy has never quit!!!!
    He was driving his 800HP tube chassis, "Camaro" GT1.............. I think Andy is over eighty..........

    ...... and so it goes

    Cheers

    Great post Chuck.

    I always try to get to Lime Rock when I'm home and there are SCCA races going on - always fun and interesting.

    Take a ride with Andy at California Speedsway when he was 79!

    I used a lot of his brake pads while I raced. Thank you to Andy for making my race car do the most important thing a race car should do: STOP!
