Thanks Lash That was pretty cool. Yeah, the Targa (that race named the Porsche Targa) is a VERY curvy track. I have neve seen it in person but a number of acquaintances rode with Redman and a few others. Their words . . NEVER do that just after eating anything – you’ll see it again. The tree passengers I know all got pretty sea sick – just goes with the job they said. On my system Brian Redman took the 908-3 around Laguna Seca in a car I believe owned by Miles Collier. In any case – I sold my 10529 356 to Miles in about 1976 or so. I advertised it and he wrote me on a post card with smallest most intricate lettering inquiring about the cars availability. Yep – still is. Fine he says, I’d like to have someone take a look at it and if it is as you say it is I’ll buy it. Fair enough. So I asked him for some earnest money – sure and he sends me a $100 personal check. At that time I had NO IDEA who he was. Turned out he was the 13th richest person on Forbes Top 500. His dad developed Collier County Florida. A BIG county adjacent of Miami on the Gulf of Mexico side. Nice guy. Thanks for the clip – it kinda reminds me of the Mexican Carrera Panamericana road race: 9 stages, 5 days. Watching movies of 1954 Lincolns negotiating 90 degree turns in small Mexican towns at racing speeds – without hitting anything!! They ran it again maybe 10 or so years ago. Our Ferrari tech entered it in a hopped up 1954 Ford and finished it. Good ol Bill – he’s driven in the Peking to Paris race and the Mille Miglia. That race is a hoot. When you stop to think about the name in a metric country – 1000 Mile race – well, it’s so Italian anyway. Thanks again Lash – nice time travel trip. Doug From: Lashdeep Singh <lashdeep [at] yahoo.com> Doug, do you remember the clip of Brian Redman sliding the 914-6 GT around the Targa Florio course on a non-race day? That was super cool to see. Yes, they got the engine placement right on that one!
