But it was also about the people. It's neat to see Norbert Singer, Derek Bell, Brian Redman, Bruce Canepa, Vic Elford, Jeff Zwart, Jurgen Barth, Patrick Long, Jochen Mass, Didier Theys, Johannes van Overbeek, Hurley Haywood, Gils van Lessep, etc. It's the very human side of the Porsche family.
Great weather, great track, enthusiastic crowd (but not too crowded, either). I had a fantastic time at the first RR, 10 years ago at Lime Rock. This event was just as good. I just wish my family had gone with me.
