OT: Luft 6 Ticket Available

I have one extra ticket for sale for the 10:00 a.m. admission for face value of $45. Thought I would offer it up here on the forum first before offering in the Classifieds. PM me if you need a ticket.

Wife and I are flying down tomorrow for Luft! Never been. Should be a good one!

^^^^^^^ Cool! Should be epic given this year's location. Have fun!

If time permits, consider the pre-Luft "Air Meets Water" event Friday night at the Petersen:

I got mine early on but didn't expect them to sell out! But if that means a smaller crowd, I'm all for it as I'm hoping to get some good shots this year.

"ANALOG" is "Suicide Jockey" on this thread. Too bad you guys missed each other.

Hopefully you guys had a great trip and Luft made up for any disappointments with the Petersen event.

The Universal Studios Hollywood backlot movie sets certainly provided a very unique setting for this accumulation of air-cooled talent!

"Porsche 550 Spyder

Great pics Nick !!

Looks like another quality event in a very cool location.

Hope your Silver Spyder is worth 5M in 60 years time.....
Although not sure my few parade laps around Laguna Seca will count as a racing history :-)

No matter how brief your time behind the wheel, your fame and notoriety adds a colorful footnote to my car’s history and can only boost its value. ;)
