Watching the 24 Hours of Daytona yesterday, the infield reporting highlighted a Randy-esq 928 in the Porsche Paddock area, including a full bar in the boot. Gold-colored OB (no rear lip spoiler) S with Florida plates, and a crew of enthusiasts wearing "Hesketh Racing" personal livery as enthusiast-attendants.
Somebody from the list? Thanks for carrying the flag!
That's Chris - Z driver 88t here on rennlist. I partied at that tailgate there 3 years ago (2017 Daytona 24). He's a great guy, and very welcoming to all who stop by. Tony was there that year too.

Yep. It was a great weekend. I've been going to that race since I was 6 years old. This marked my 45th year attending. The 928 got a lot of love in the Porsche Corral. I was parked near a bright green GT3, and tons of people walked right past the GT3 to ask me about the 928. Lots of thumbs up on the parade lap as well. As usual, I was the only 928 in the Porsche Corral. A good friend of mine made a Bar 928 sign we hung from the hatch and it was without a doubt THE place to gather and hangout for the weekend.
A friend of mine happened to capture the 1-minute video clip on his cell phone from a TV during the broadcast. The sound is not great - have to turn it up. It was fun for the 928 to get some national exposure.
That video is brilliant...a fresh face in a crowd of Blaaaaaahhhhhh...blah blah.... then to have all the people at your car as the camera came through.!
Represented well! the sign was a nice touch. .
I had a roughly similar result from my trip over the mountains to Denver last month for the RMR/PCA Holiday Party. I went in my Bamboo Beige 82 and took a few pictures there and of the event. Then I wrote up a little bit about the event and sent that and the pictures to the editor of the Regional RMR Monthly Newsletter, called "HighGear." To my surprise one of the pictures I sent ended up on the cover of the magazine. More Glory for the 928.

Jerry is such an ambassador for the 928 and all things Porsch a (article reference). I was floored when I saw the cover the other day and then when I read the article everything made sense. Not only did Jerry drive about 4 hours to attend the event, he generously donated Porsche memorabilia as door prizes. I was unable to attend the event, but I'm sure people will talking about the man in the 928. Then he wrote an excellent article and provided pictures including the one on the cover which was welcomed by the magazine. Jerry, I hope you are considering the Badlands event this summer. Should be a great event that is growing all the time.
