Jefferson 500 Recap

**Mike** · 05-16-2004, 09:07 PM

Went to Summit Friday to Sunday this week to help my friend Chris [Apocalypse on HT]and his Dad out in the pits for the Jefferson 500, an annual vintage race. While the cars aren't up to par with some of the big-money cars in their class, both did VERY well this weekend, and I had a great time too. The 944 guys are awesome, definately worth a look if you're looking to go racing.

I guess you don't worry about brake cooling when you don't need to use them?

wow, a lot of carnage for a vintage race. Cry

and you like that Lotus? I always thought that thing was a bit of an abomination. Great from the front....

fine for me.

btw - that 911 was not the Gulf Livery, there is no orange on the car. However Porsche used to have Gulf Blue as a factory order color, but no orange.

He had some orange on the front-end. I know it wasn't a true gulf car, but I still really loved the colors.

I even thought about painting the Miata in Gulf livery :lol:
