Vic Elford autographed my owner's manual!
I was at the Rolex Vintage Race Festival at Limerock Park a week ago, and Vic Elford was there signing autographs. He of course is the famous 917K driver who drove for Martini Racing. While everyone was getting posters signed, I thought it would be much cooler to get my owner's manual signed. So I had him sign it on the first page under the cutaway diagram of the 993. If someone can resize pics for me (or show me how to do it), I can post some pics.

Quick Vic!
I saw him in 2006 in Indianapolis for a PCA dinner event there during the US Formula 1 races (where Shumi won his 5th championship in his Ferrari)!
He was very entertaining and a very nice guy (also a chain smoker). He signed my copy of his book on driving 911's and my son and I had a good conversation with him. I have bout several signed posters from him and his wife on his web site as well.

I also have a Martini Racing 917K poster he signed, but I thought it would be extra cool to have something from my personal car to be signed, kinda like when Carroll Shelby was at Limerock and people were dismantling their AC Cobras to have him sign parts of their cars...
If someone could help be rezise my pics, I can post them along with LONG overdue pics of my RS-clone Cabriolet.
