POLO 4 cylinder 911 engine and 1967 912 almost done

[Chris Pomares]

I had an awesome day yesterday. I picked up Elephant Racing’s GT3 type front suspension from Chuck. He was kind enough to give me a tour of his facility and look at some really nice parts like his 930 type calipers for 911, 69 912, and maybe 914’s I’m guessing.
Next I went to Jerry Wood’s shop. I wanted to talk to them about their POLO engine build on a 356 B. The induction on that engine is awesome. I ended up talking to Jerry and his staff for about two hours. What a great time!
Then it was off to to see Clint Smith owner of Rebel S Racing. I have all his suspension bits on my car and will be up grading to his coilovers and 935 spring plates. I bet we talked for three hours. For me this was a very special day.
By the way, Jerry Woods and Clint work together on parts projects. Jerry thinks very highly of Clint.
From there it was off to Carpinteria to see family.

Sounds like a very informative time. In the later 80's I took the Woods/Anderson engine rebuilding course at Wood's shop. Although I had been doing it for 15 years at that point I just wanted to go to meet and learn something from the very best, and the stories those guys told were priceless. Jerry spend a entire season with the Kremers when they were winning everything in sight.
The developement of parts these days like the items you bought are really good stuff.

Rick,
I had a great time. Jerry is 71 and I’m 69. Wether it’s Harvey, Jim of Easy fame, or Jerry, we were all from SoCal. We’ll talk Porsche’s then it always ends up of experiences we had back in the 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s when we were young.
I’m working with Steven Rowe building this 3.2 MFI engine in Denver. Steven and Jerry know each other and I guess they turned a competitive wrench or 2 on some race cars at the same track. It’s a small vintage Porsche world out there.

[Rick Cabell]

Yup, I am only 68. 60's 70's, those were times. Can't we turn back the clock?

[Chris Pomares]

The 50’s for me was a care free time one block from the beach. I was to young to worry about anything. I feel very lucky to have had those experiences.

Spending time at Elephant Racing, Jerry Woods, and Rebel Racing I felt like a kid in a candy store. Soooo may goodies.
This front suspension is from Elephant. Coilovers and 935 spring plates from Rebel. And an assortment of body stiffeners. Mind you this is all R and D stuff to test on my POLO test mule car to make sure it functions well before I add a LWB version to the 69 2.7 liter POLO car for Doug.

The car was invited to a Dealership open house last night. They said I could come to.

What dealership is this?

[Chris Pomares]

Stevinson in Denver. The open house was to show off the new building additions to their customers.
