Watkins Glen - Grand Am - August 2003

[STEVEN LONG]

I attended the Grand Am race at Watkins Glen once again. The RE/MAX #05 Corvette was awesome - and took first place in the GTS class. I will be posting a pic or two under a different thread ... showing what might be a HINT (or great idea) of the '05 (2005) C6 nose with fixed headlights.

I also attented the Winston Cup race at Pocono ... and have some nice pics of various cars while on pit road. LMK if you want me to send you a scan of a particular driver. I can get prints if needed, as well.

Our pits were right next to the #6 Porsche ... owned by actior Paul Newman. Paul (now showing his age at 78 - see pic), was one of three drivers for the #6 Porsche, including Kyle Petty (age 42), and a third driver (age 21). WHAT A BROAD RANGE OF AGES - eh?

The #6 Porsche sported a paint theme for Kyle's Victory Junction camp.

Oh, BTW - Paul wrecked his car.

Gearheads may see more in this pic than I can ... a pic of the engine compartment of the mid-engine, CHEVROLET powered #54 Red Bull DAYTONA PROTOTYPE.

Thanks for the pics Steve. Even though Paul wrecked, he's still amazing competing at 78. Sounds like you had a ball.;bt
