Bob Chapman is the man. When I saw that photo i dug through the rest hoping to find the same shot with the Audi... but since we were online, we were blocking the sun (I kid, but we were blocking it). :-)

+1 for Bob Chapman. That's a great shot, but so much of his work is brilliant that I've just come to expect it.

Amazing shot. That would make a fantastic poster. If a poster is made, count me in for one.

Thanks for sharing your best of all time Porsche racing photo!

May I add a ... "Best pit stop picture of a Porsche of all time" ?
( In my completely biased opinion)

Hi Mark,

The photo was taken at night during the 1977 Sebring 12 hr race. The pits during that era were dilapidated, cinder block construction and the entire track was in bad shape. The car was my Porsche 3.0 RSR #30.

Hey Mooty,

Find "Bob Chapman" on Facebook and get in touch with him. He's on my friends list if you're having trouble locating him.
