Hi,
I am trying to find my dad's Porsche mechanic that used to crew for him back in the late 1950's to mid 1960's. He was employed by Porsche from Germany and would crew in the Phoenix area while he was here with Porsche events. His name is Peter Schlepphorst, I think the spelling is fairly accurate on his last name. If anyone recognizes this guy please let me know as it would be a great gift to my dad for them to talk once again after all these years.
Thanks,
Dave

CPT,
Hi, I did send Porsche in Germany an email, but never heard back, if you have any contacts that would be great. I talked to my dad last week, he also mentioned another guy with Peter, Al Jobst. Peter was employed directly by Porsche and helped my dad out at that time period. The problem is most of the people I talk to go back to about 1965 and that's it, he stopped racing in 1961/62 and Peter I think moved on at that point.
thanks for the help
