Cars and Caffeine was yesterday AM and it was cool to be on the actual concourse grounds, but they parked all the Porsche's together, so it was sorta like a rehash of PCA event the day before -plus it rained during the event. Later last evening was the Hangar Event. Somehow my Mexico Blue build got accepted into it. As I told a buddy, someone must have dropped out as I am pretty sure I was a "plan B" car and the only "home garage" car on the tarmac, except for maybe the wooden pedal car.
Singers, Pagani's, Bugatti's, private jets and P-51's.
The event was pretty epic for a number of reasons including getting to tail the 917 back to the transporters in the dark last night. As we pulled up to the transporter parking area, Dirk - the owner and driver - slowed and lifted the hatch to get some breeze into the car. It was at that moment I took my shot and PASSED a 917! Dirk was doing probably 2 or 3 mph but I sill manged to overtake him cleanly.
I laughingly pointed that fact out to him as our cars were being loaded and he retorted; "true, but on the race track.....". I have ZERO doubts about what Dirk would do to me on the track.
Anyway, here's some pics.
