Cool pic, notice the hood scoop locations are not the same.

Seems to be running the same colours though. Would it have been a bit odd to be running Porsches and US car out of the same team?

Interesting about the hood scoop positioning? Also note the 935 wheels.

Well all the body panels came from Holbert , they where PNA motorsport outlet for the parts and they did campaign a Monza, but the time frame does not match , but those could be Holbert's car after all .

My first post to Rennlist!

This would have been a CRC Trans Am event in '81 as you can see the white 911 of John Bauer carrying the number 1 since he won the championship in'80.

At the Portland event that year, Doc Bundy was driving car number 14 (and I would assume he was in that photo). My guess is the car to the right is the tail of a Corvette....

A great time for that series and I did catch some particularly interesting shots, fire retardent clothing is a good thing!

I believe they were run by Holbert at that time, at least that is who is listed as the entrant here; http://wsrp.ic.cz/transam1981.html . Here's a shot of Doc Bundy in #14 at Portland and a photo of the #1 911. Times certainly have changed (at least in the paddock area).

BTW, those pictures of the #23 occurred during either a practice or qualifying as he competed in the race. Smart driving on his part as he pulled right up to the turn station and they got things out fast!
