I won't be at Buttonwillow, but I'll be at Willow Springs on the 14th of November.

I've driven with Jae, and I think I can easily beat him on any track in California -- so long as I drive his car and he drives mine. (They're 'similar' only in that they're both based on widebody early 911s. Mine's a daily driver. His is a track car.)

I would like to know about your car!!! This is exactly what I want to build one day! Looks like a modern motor..

It's a 1972 tub. It's got brakes from an 86 Turbo. Transaxle is a magnesium 1977 with close-ratio gears. Engine is a 1995, unmodified. Suspension is, well, modified -- but not in an expensive way. (Bilstein shocks in back. JRZ single-adjustables in front. But mounting points and some of the component dimensions have been changed.) All of the mods are at this link: www.pelicanparts.com/bb2

love your Porsche. Can't believe that's a 72! It's beautiful! Proves the timeless beauty of Porsches.

Your garage is amazing, you'd make Iron Man proud.

I know it's an old thread. But my garage (and Porsche) just got a video made about them -- so I'm kind of psyched. The web site is called Petrolicious, and if you've got nine minutes free, click on the image below to watch the video.

And let me know what you think.

Nice vid Jack. Between you, Magnus Walker, Jay Leno, and many others we are developing a very interesting and personalized Porsche culture here in SoCal.

Porsche Escape is coming to LA in October and we might just need to add the 12 Gauge Garage to the tour.
