While I loved my time at Laguna, I'm not a big fan of driving or shipping my car cross country to drive the track. So I think a periodic shifting of coasts is the right way to go....

How about one in the middle of the country?


It was great meeting up with everyone. I have a feeling no matter where the next one is, we'll be there.


Another people picture..... If you are DAD in the picture, please stand up and be counted. I can't remember your name. Flatsix (Ted) and Dad is all I remember. I do remember the gals though though. I can't forget my past WOR and I'm not so old as to not remember myself.... yet.

Thanks for the pics!! I was at the first one at Lime Rock and couldn't imagine it getting any better (I brushed shoulders with Ickx and Redman while drooling on cars), but from the pics I stand corrected. I would put money on either #1 Road America or #2 Watkins Glenn next.

Road America would be great, I have now been to all 4 and would love to add a 5th in the heartland at a great track.

Look at you..... getting pointers from Pat ! LMAO

Watkins Glen would be a good venue for RSR V, Road America too. I do hope they do Laguna one more time, it is such a great spectator track that you can get around quickly and is short enough the cars come by every 1:34 or so.

Word came from folks who were with the editors of ROAD & TRACK that the turnout was so great at Laguna Seca that Porsche has decided to come back next time.

Works for me, but even if it was somewhere else, I would go.

Having been to all 4 Rennsport Reunions I will offer my $.02

Lime Rock was intimate and the selection of hardware impressive.

Daytona was a BIG venue. I think the collection of hardware was more impressive at Daytona for III with many more 917s and 956/962s in attendance. I can't believe only 3500 tickets were sold for RRIII.

Having said that, Laguna Seca is an awesome venue. I'm glad we made the trek west. I am kinda disappointed that the event was only 3 days. I missed all the PCA presentations and barely walked the paddock although I did go to the Quail lodge for the concours and watched a lot of the racing at the corkscrew.

A RR at Road America or Watkins Glen would be great.

Wait Rich, you may be correct...... is Pat laughing????

Rich to Pat: "Dude trust me... you can take the Corkscrew FLAT and aim for the tree on the far LEFT".

Got any Sebring tips for me?? Like stay as close to the wall as possible all the way through Sunset and don't mind the bumps!!!!

Classic, those pros sometimes need a little help.

Rich you are a funny guy!!
