    Chad Plavan Auto Biography - short film

    I wanted to share this short film I made of fellow board member and vintage racer Chad Plavan. It is a tribute to his love of racing and early 911s and features his beautiful 1972 ST racecar. I’ve dedicated the film to Pat Paternie who was such a passionate contributor to our hobby and appears briefly in the film. It was such a pleasure to meet him. Hope you all enjoy it.

    Nice work Nick, now everyone knows how to start and steal my car . Thank you for asking us to be a part of this. I wish you the best on your new venture. Dad & I will love watching this later in life.
    As for Patrick Paternie, you captured how happy he was on that final day. I'm sure his family can rest assured he was doing something he loved that day.

    No making fun of the nervous guy with "Helmet Hair" lol.

    Thanks again.
    Thanks,
    Chad

    It isn't enough that he passes me with 60 mph to spare.
    Next he'll be moving to Hollywood!
    Nice piece of work.
