Along For The Ride

So, you wonder what I've been up to. I get being around cars, badass cars, and photographing them. Freedom came, and with it the ability to take care, work on, restore, drive, race. 35mm, delivering a smile to my face. Three time winner of the National Paul Heinmiller Award for producing and editing the best Regional Newsletter/Magazine in the Porsche Club of America. Published in: Car Kulture DeLuxe (Hot Rods), Classic Motorsports (Vintage Racing), Porsche 356 Registry (Porsche), New York Times (Photos). 1962 Porsche 356 Cab. First in Class National Porsche Concour: 1982 Reno NV., 1985 Costa Mesa CA., 1988 Colorado Springs CO., 2002 Boise ID. Naturally, restoring cars and showing them competitively over the years, has lead to a pleasant opportunity to join the community of judges. I've enjoyed a Concour judging history with some of the following groups and shows. The angry sounds of an engine doing its best work, has always pushed my blood to pump, and with it, the drive to don a helmet and compete.


These are some of the cars that I've had the pleasure to drive in competition. Driving events during 1970-1988 at: Riverside Raceway, Ontario Motor Speedway, Laguna Seca, Sears Point, Willow Springs, Holtville. Vintage Racing during 1985-1988 at: Riverside Raceway, Palm Springs, Willow Springs, Laguna Seca. It's a 1965 911 which I've owned since 1970. I took the car racing early on, leading to vintage racing such places as Palm Springs, Riverside and Laguna Seca in the early/mid-eighties. After retiring it from racing, I then started on the restoration and it has been shown regionally and nationally since 1985. The car has been featured in several books and has been used by Porsche Cars North America for advertising. It's a 1970 914-6 GT which I've owned since 1988. It still wears it's factory GT racing parts and was used for hill climbs early on in it's life. The car is still being used competitively, racing at the Monterey Historics, Coronado Vintage Festival and at Porsches Rennsport Reunion IV and V held at Laguna Seca. It's a 1967 911 rescued from a shed in 2009. Shortly after I got this car, it started calling the shots, "Preserve the Patina, the world is full of over restored trailer queens," it said. It has a style that can only be duplicated by time. It wears it's original paint with a rock solid chassis, the body-lines are straight and the panel gaps uniform. The interior is right out of the sixties with a mahogany wood steering wheel, old racing belts and a "Ferrari/GT" drivers seat. With its painted on Pegasus and vintage magnesium Minilite wheels, all mechanicals have been rebuilt from the ground up from brakes, engine, trans, suspension to bring it back to prowl the roads after it left in '74.
