Nice red 964 lowered on what looked like 17" BBS mesh wheels, driving by while I was dog walking in Westover.

Edit: fixed to show the car wasn't walking my dog :P

I saw some very interesting cars the past 2 days. Here's one (I'll post some of them along the way).

Here's another one. Also special!




PS: Although I took this photos with my phone, the person reflected in the image was the very first investor in Tesla, well before Elon Musk (and much less than Musk's initial $8M).

I also saw some interesting cars being driven (NOTE: this car is the real one...):

Very cool captures, Dr. K! Definitely see exotics in the valley and along the PCH. Enjoy your time out there.

The 917 smoked the newer McLarens with 300+ more HP (the Porsche was 4-5 seconds/lap faster). That particular 917 had been upgraded to a 917/10 and then a 917/30, but was put back into its original specs for historic racing.

Here's another view of it:



I met this guy Buck Fulp who bought a badly wrecked Lola T70 in 1972 for $600. He rebuilt it himself (had never done fiberglass work but learned as he went). Buck wants to bring the car east and race at Watkins Glen, and I'm trying to convince him to do so and offering to crew for him. Here's Buck and his car:





You can't realize how steep the drop is at the start of the Corkscrew from photos or even videos - it's a lot steeper in person. On the videos, you can see the cars drop if they're far enough track right. Driving this track is now at the very top of my bucket list.

One last post on this: I'd always wanted to experience the sound of the older, high-revving F1 cars in person. This was taken from a strait 50' from where we parked. Turn your sound on, because the first 1/2 of this is the sound (don't worry, some of the cars do finally get there).

And there weren't just European cars there. This video contains some good ol' 'merican cars!
