Some Good Reading Material
I grew up being pretty obsessed with LeMans in the 60s and 70s; specifically Cobras, GT40s, Porsches and BMWs. Porsche a bit more than the others. Awesome history, awesome cars. If you haven’t ever sat down and watched the Steve McQueen movie LeMans, do it. From 908s and 917s to 956s and 962s, Porsche pretty much dominated the race for the better part of two decades. And the way they did it was crafty and really cool, too.
Apparently the dudes who made the site Speedhunters feel the same way, because they’ve got a really nice collection of stories on their site focusing on Porsche racing history. (Be sure to click on “older articles” at the bottoms of the pages). They’ve got a lot of other really cool stuff about dope cars of every shape and form as well, so give the whole site a good scan.
Lots of great pics to look at too if you’re too lazy to read.
If your boss catches you looking at the site instead of working, tell them some asshole who works from home told you to do it.
