I went to a track day with the Peachstate region PCA back in 1976. They had Road Atlanta for the day. It was a blast with my 95 HP 1974 914 2.0 but not fast.
Of the guys there was an Airline pilot named Duncan, and he had bought a "used race car" for very reasonable money and it was a 1970 RSR. A real one. I slobbered all over it, and he offered me a ride around the tack in it. I was ready in heartbeat. At turn one he was still accelerating HARD at the point were I was hard on the brakes and I honestly thought he had gone nuts and ready to crash and kill us both. Then the car hardly slowed down and we were around the corner and flying up the hill. It was my first ride in a truly fast car on the track.
The same guy has a 906 as his other toy. Another old used race car at the time. Chuck Stoddard use to come down with his 917 and they would play on the track and all eyes were on them.
