Photos from my car (Car #0)...or at least those with an Airspeed car somewhere in the shot. The rest of my shots (which aren't very good) are in my flickr account.

Rrrrrrake! Ended up moving the case of RedBull and socket set to the back, which evened it out a little.

it was also very cool to see the frose clan (the guys that run AVR....a vw parts store that supports the people that support them...they support this forum by buying add space...they helped me out big time with prizes for the stock motor challenge last year...and they were a huge presence during the spring thaw offering to help out with fixing the vws)....

Ah-ha!

All three 914's put "green" on their entry lists...

Car number 27 was Andrew Polack. The red 911 was Vince and the Black wide-body was Ben. It's too bad I couldn't keep up with those two, they seemed like really nice guys.

Great stuff. I caught the remnants of it when I happened to be in Hope on Sunday afternoon. Rob, nice job on getting the 914 road-worthy!
I'll always be an aircooled guy, but I was quite lusting after the Alfa Romeo...
