Hey guys,
I have just returned from a trip to the USA where I attended Sema, and more importantly Rennsport Reunion III at Daytona Speedway. No doubt many of you have seen pics of this event on other forums, but let me tell you as an Australian Porsche enthusiast it is the most incredible event I have attended. Every which way were amazing and significant Porsches, and it was possible to get 'up close and personal' with each and every one of them. Do you want to sit in a genuine lemans 917? Ask the owner nicely and it's no problem!
There was so much for the early 911 enthusiast too - from genuine 911R's, 73 RS's and RSR's, more than a dozen genuine 74 RSR's, and more.
For the race car fans there were more than 10 917's, the prototype flat 16 powered spider, 908's, 956 and 962's, 935's everywhere!
The best part is seeing these cars run up close. Seeing guys starting up a 74 RSR and warming it up - incredible sound. The wail of a group of 30 or 40 early 911's on track with megaphones was amazing.
So in short - when this event rolls around again in 2010 I suggest making the effort to attend - I know I will be again!
I've attached just a few of the 280 odd shots I took..
