I met a man in a 944 at the Bay Bottom Crawl autocross in the Florida keys.

His car # was 86 and it changes every year. It changes because his car # is his age. I was talking with another 944 owner about his 86 year old competitor, he winked at me and asked if I had seen his times yet. I was ecstatic to see he was right in the middle of the pack in his class, right there with the 30 year olds etc..

Dont laugh it off as a mear Autocross either, the Bay Bottom Crawl was by far the most trecherous race event I have ever done, I dont think and track can compare to the sheer rush of this race. I was seeing 130+MPH on a 24' wide abandoned road with mangroves and water at the edge of the pavement.
Here is my in car vid keep in mind it was my first time ever doing this and I waspretty intimidated I didn't push it too hard especially in the 4th gear right sweeper.
