| On July 14th, 2001, Our local chapter of the Porsche Club of America,
Orange Coast Region, had an Autocross/Driver Education event at Irwindale
Speedway's parking lot. At the end of the autocross event, we had a tail-gate
party with all the Porsches. During that time, if anyone wanted they could
have their cars washed and waxed for a reasonable fee. Above is my '92
C2 Turbo getting a wash to prepare it for a NASCAR pre-race Porsche Parade.
We had arranged with the Speedway's organizer to do a couple of parade
laps on the oval before the races that evening. Afterward, we parked all
the Porsches in a special parking area for Porsche only. It was very cool
to spend a whole day at an autocross, a tail gate party with lots of food,
and to lap on a pro oval track and ended with a ticket to watch the NASCAR
races. |

| Here is me next to my car while it'd been dried and detailed just before
the parade laps. The picture is not great but what can I say I didn't
take the picture. Thanks Ken aka FastFreddy. |

|
| Me and Mike Graf are having fun and taking a needed break from getting
up really early in the morning and spent a whole day on the hot parking
lot of Irwindale Speedway. |
|
|
| Me and Jim Allison and his girlfriend. He rode with me in the car during
the parade laps. He waved a cool flag out of the sunroof. It was great.
He is looking for a Porsche of his own soon. It will be his first one.
Warning!, it is very addicting. |

|
| Here we are on the oval track. This's the first lap. It's slow. I really
want to go faster and faster. But the wall on the right is very close
too. I had my first track/driving event here a few years ago and it was
scary to think of the wall while driving your baby. |

|
| Another picture, a close up, of the oval. This time we drive a little
faster, about 65 mph. We only allowed to do two laps, one slow and one
fast, and then exist to the pit lane to the parking area. I had the most
fun I've had in a long time. I hope to do this kind of events 4-6 times
a year in my car. Porsche, resistance is futile. |
