993 racing pictures from the way-back machine - Part 2 (Pike's Peak Hillclimb)
The Pike’s Peak Hillclimb was (well, still is) essentially in my back yard and I can only think of a single one I missed from 1984 to 2000. After that, it started getting a little hit-or-miss if I made it. Oddly enough, I have very few pictures from the hillclimb. I’m not sure why that is, but such is life.
As I was going through my box o’ pictures, I was delighted to find these pictures of THE man, THE myth, THE legend, Jeff Zwart in his Valvoline sponsored 1996 993tt. I actually remember taking these pictures because it was the first time I had a moto-drive on the film advance, so I could take sequence shots like you see here. Previously, I had been advanced the film manually on an old Nikon that my dad gave me. I can clearly remembering telling myself to choose the cars I wanted to capture wisely because I had only brought so much film and the moto-drive would chew up film in a hurry! Naturally, Jeff Zwart and a 993tt made my list of “must haves” when it came to pictures.
These pictures were taken just below Devil’s Playground.
