I went to Rennfest Reunion 2007 today. It is being held at the Daytona Speedway, home of NASCAR. There are some very nice older Porsche race cars that are participating. Everything from a 1953 550 Pushrod Coupe that was in the 1953 Carrera Panamericana to Gulf 917 from Le Mans fame to Current factory cars. I am not a big racing fan so do not really know the significance of some of the cars. They are sure cool to see fire up in the pits and roar out for practice. Like at Monterey or Coronado Classic races, you can go right into the pits and see up close the whole deal. PCA has a display of cars with one representative of all models through the years of street car models. Some beautifully restored and some perfect originals. Of course the car that drew the biggest crowd???????? Yep, the 1956 Black Speedster! It was a beautiful car and the owner was answering a lot of questions about it. I would love to have it. But I would much rather have my IM Roadster or a nice Vintage or JPS or Beck etc. and $100,000 in the bank. I am so glad to be able to afford to drive such a fun car that is so loved by all kinds of people with out having to worry about RUST, parts availability and price, did I mention RUST, etc. Keep on Speedin!
