Chuck,

When are you showing your car? There is a chance we might be able to make Sunday, do you know the schedule for that day?

Just returned from the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. The 912 performed flawlessly despite the 105 degree heat on Friday and Saturday. Oil temperature creeped up a little going up the mountains on the Pa. Turnpike. Not bad for a 43 year old car. We were delighted to be asked, by the Allegheny Region of the PCA, to join fifty other heritage Porsches to join a Parade lap around the course. Jim and Vicky were also there with their Speedster. My 1954 Speedster that I sold in 1966 for $600.00 and now worth over $185,000, was there also, visited with the owner for a while. Gave him some pictures of me when I was 16 with the car back then. Many rare Porsches there including a 904 replica. I was delighted when a 850 TC Fiat Abarth (similar to one I owned many years ago) won the small bore race.

All in all a great weekend event despite the opressive heat.
