Here are some photos that I came across. Anyone recognize themselves or their cars ??
George Kehler in Tennessee
1955 356 coupe
1971 911S (knee deep in restoration)
1997 993 Targa
I recall attending the CANAM Races at Laguna Seca in Sept or Oct. '73 enroute to my new assignment as a 22 year old CG Engineer Officer. I was driving my rolling resto '64 E-Type 2 seater coupe.
Here are a couple more...
Al,Could you please further speculate what size Fuchs and the tires are? Thank you, I love the look and stance of this Porsche!
They look to me like period 7's (The parade was in August '73 plenty of time to get 7's) …
BTW - I have a 1971 Nicolaus Von Rosenberg catalog that lists Fuchs ('specify width in inches') for $97.65 each...
On second look the tires look to be Firestones...
The size back then for those was equivalent to about a 195 x 50 x 15 with a diameter less than 23"... lots were running that setup for autocross...
Some of the folks on the board that were 'in it' back then could answer you more fully …
In '73 I wasn't into Porsches yet, I was helping my buddy race his SCCA C/Sedan Alfa GTA Jr. …
Here's another pic from the Parade results booklet with a car with a similar setup....

Man, I took a look in all the categories in the results booklet and I couldn't find a listing for Fred Veitch or his number...Chuck, can you check your book for entry #434. I suspect it's Fred Veitch's...updated license plate in 1974 to "YM 911" with Eagle County Sheriff's Posse topper.
Through the years I realize that lots of folks who entered the '73 Parade events with name and number do not show up in the results for one reason or another...
BTW - Fred is still a good friend of Michael Hammond...
The older I get the smaller the print gets...
BTW - The baby on the right is no less then 43 years old now !!!! …

Indeed it was John....I'm thinking that car # 383 was Pat Scanlan.
Pat Scanlan # 383 - 2.0 911L - San Diego Region
He came in 45th in total points out of 68 entrants who participated in all the Parade events...
Cheers John,
