RLer mcipsEric: Concours winner, cover model, track star!
...& proud 'parent' of a stunning Speed Yellow 993.
Met Eric & his wife yesterday. Big day: they won best in class & Peoples' Favorite awards in the Concours d'Elegance -- their first ever attempt!
Capping off a perfect win in picture-perfect Dana Point, CA, they're celebrating in the best Porsche tradition today: burning rubber on the track.
Eric's a super-star: he, his wife, & their SY beauty are June's cover feature for "Pandemonium" magazine of PCA's Orange Coast Region.
One quick read reinforced what I'd already learned: great folks, track stars, killer 993.
I'm catching a plane now, but here's quick shot of the man & his immaculate machine ...

Tim-- I'm impressed that I'm posting from my phone, on a plane!
Maybe others who know Eric or were at the Concours can help satiate?
BTW, standby for a PM re: a Moffat visit...

Thanks for the kind words. We sure had a lot of fun. The weather was perfect as the pictures will show. Can't say for sure if we will ever show for judging again, that was a lot of work!!
Here are some pictures that we have.
There is a judge in there....
Getting the "People's Choice" Award from Porsche Motor Sports Pike's Peak Champion, Jeff Zwart!
My Favorite! Love those wheels!
Here are some nice group shots...
Nice stuff for Speed Yellow Fans!
Sunday's Reward!

All-- Greetings from the east coast. Spent last night in CO. Now, stumbling back with friends in DC.
Eric-- Install your DAS rollbar yet?
Yummie on the inside, too... Nice Walrod rings
My camera doesn't do it justice (the finish of the interior & attention to detail was consistently perfect), but here's part of what the judges saw -- minus the color-coordinated Speed Yellow shoe accents

Thanks for all your help guys! The parts FD Motor Sports supplied that the judges could see really helped! RS shifter, Alum Brake handle, SS wide ovals, all looked unreal!

This was off-limits to his judges, but you can see Eric's bonnet & engine are similarly impressive & race-ready

Nice driving Sunday! You are a natural.

I do like the Speedster seats, but like you said the leather is a little more worn than I would want... I would want to get them recovered before I even install them, and that just adds to the price...
You're the one that got me hooked on auto-crossing!!
It's so much fun, can't wait for more upgrades...

The track-ready car has had many modifications, including an upgraded racing suspension, a lightweight flywheel, racing seats and harnesses, a short shifter, a limited-slip differential and a racing steering wheel.
