Post Vintage 944 Turbo Cup pics from 1989!

Just thought you guys would enjoy these pics from a dusty section of my photo album!

The cars, fresh off the truck, at Mark Motors of Ottawa (Canada). Check out the factory installed roll cages!

The cars wearing their racing colours. The white car was photographed at the dealership and the aqua car was snapped at Mt. Tremblant raceway in Quebec.

Sorry about the poor quality... they were taken on an old Kodak 110 camera. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Agreed. Thanks for sharing! Is that a Hazet sticker on the rear valance of the aqua Rothmans car? Are Hazet tools popular in Canada?

Mmmmm... Tuuuuurbo(In your best Homer Simpson voice)!

Those shots remind me... I've been meaning to ask...

Does anyone have a copy of the "Pinky" ad? IIRC, it was a multipage spread that featured a nose shot of a white 951 painted with pink splotches (kinda like cow spots?). It was a really nice shot that stands out in my mind even after all these years... It would make a great poster! Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Yep, I have one of those in my collection. I'll see if I can get it scanned and posted here.

JonT - WHOOOHOOOOO! I've been keeping an eye out for that for a decade! I used to have a copy but it was in a box that got water damaged in a move. I'd love to have a hi-res copy if you could post a link.

Thanks!

If it is like I remember it... It would make a nice avatar. Interested in "selling the rights"? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
