The Last Turn – The-Hole-in-the-Wall
There was once a magic portal through which I could see some of the greatest cars of all times.

Last year we introduced you to our newest project car, called simply "Project Boxster Clubsport".

The age of the 962 was an exciting time for those of us who were devoted to Porsche and its racing successes. It was not that the 934/935 time had been a bad one; there was a lot of satisfaction in seeing cars that mirrored the street 911 to some extent, and they were a massive success in racing, adapting and evolving as time went on, pushing the …

I did my first D. E. track day 15 years ago. I pulled into the tech inspection area at Lime Rock Park’s A Paddock feeling quite confident and ready to go. My headlights were taped off and my tire pressures set. The tech inspector walked around my car, then looked inside and made a weird face. He pointed to my back seat … where my daughter’s booster …

The title of this piece probably won’t mean much to most, but some years ago E-Prod was where the old Porsche Speedsters and Roadsters went out to play in SCCA, and they were a mighty force. The Sports Car Club of America used a runoff system for their amateur racers, like the preliminary competition in the Olympics, to sort out the best of the …
