2009 Calendar of the Early 911S Registry

The 2009 calendar for the Early 911S Registry is being prepared and should be ready on Nov 17th. This is the site where most of the 1965-73 owners hang out as it has the most knowledge on things related to these cars, and has members worldwide.
Well its not the 356 registry (large, well organized/funded and long established) but it has passionate members with a few behind the scenes guys that do all the heavy lifting for the rest of us, such as Chuck Miller and John Dilger to name a few.
In order to raise money, a calendar was proposed. Never got off the ground for '07 or '08 but gained real traction for '09.
Members were asked to submit photo's and we all sent off pics of our own cars, plus some other shots we considered decent or worthy of a calendar effort.
Well, one of mine was chosen. Below you see the teaser shot that Chuck Miller posted today.


Below is the original pic that I took at Daytona Speedway, in the infield, during Rennsport iii (Nov 2007). You can see the banking in the background. The cars pictured belong to fellow members ... Randy Stenson's Conda Green 70S, my Beige Grey 73E targa behind it, Brian Fryar's 71S targa in Signal Orange (I think).
There is a white 911T that belongs to Steven Harris (I believe) that is lurking there near the front (behind the green car). Scott Hansens 69E in Silver is visible as well as Alan Brody's 69S Targa, and Vic Rivera's red 911R homage with Cibie hood lights. I n black at the back is Bill Gottschalk's black SC targa.
