Very tidy driving!

Not much runoff there. Do they run a lot of club and pro races there? I would think that most racing organizations wouldn't like the safety situation.

Hey guys – thanks so much for the nice comments – Vic, thanks so much for providing me with the decambered spindles, rear sport bar, and GT TBD!

– Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA is an old timey track, which doesn’t have hardly any run-off, vs a newer track like Portland Raceway in Oregon, which has all of the modern safety stuff and big time race leagues – our local vintage race organization, SOVREN, has many races at Pacific Raceways each year, and the track is pretty safe, although the motorcyclists seem to have a fatality every year or so

I have linked a you tube video of some 1963 race film at Pacific Raceways, which is highly informative – I bet that some of our current SOVREN drivers were also driving at this race!

I learned to drive this track through the local Porsche Club (I drive the safe Porsche club line!) and I love driving all three of my early Porsche’s here – I highly encourage all 356 owners to check out driver’s skills and track days available through their local PCA chapter

I don’t keep lap times at the track, but I get a rough sense of them from my videos – FYI, the SOVREN guys in race 356’s are driving 20 seconds faster per lap, than what I can achieve! Now that’s freakin’ fast!

Thanks again, cheers!

Brad, verrrry smooth driving; you went to the apex like it was magnetic and carrying decent speed too. Didn't see any over rev on the tach either :wink: Tip of the hat buddy!

Everyone who has not seen the clip, open a beer and spend @ 20 minutes watching some good track driving...of course, made better by a notchback.

Nice post buddy. Thanks.

Regards,
George Bryan

here's a quick video of an Alfa Club track day at Portland International Raceway with an OFF i had in my 356, with the old Super engine:

this track has lots of room to have an off!

(also, check out my early 911 videos, listed on you tube!)

Brad,

Listening to your engine and gears, I see that second and third have a sweet wine. What cut are these gears to give it that sound?
