Bruce Canepa doesn't do things in half measures. If he's going at it, he's going whole hog. That's true in his restoration business, and that's true in his fanatical style of vintage racing.

There's something about Porsches racing in the rain that just causes a visceral reaction in me. While not quite as impressive as Lee Keen's "Rain Dance at the 24 Hours Nürburgring" it's still some mighty fine driving by young Slaon Urry. Watch how fast Sloan's hands are as he hits that sequential shifter. It's like he's mad at it. …
