I traveled from Seattle to Salt Lake City and back again in my modified 1972 911 T\/ST, about half of it on back roads. <\/p>\n<p>The Porsche Club of America held its annual Porsche Parade event in SLC &#8211; a land of religious freedom and ultimate land speeds (some of it in in record-breaking heat). 110 degrees Fahrenheit is fine if you are sitting in your air-conditioned car. Unfortunately, I did not have that luxury. And neither did Jeff Barstow, my co-driver, when it came to laying down some fast runs at PCA national level autocross competition. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>We ultimately claimed first place in the top class of MO5 and third fastest time overall. Barstow is in my opinion the best Solo 2 co-driver any car owner could ever want to have. Always smiling, always optimistic, and the perfect gentleman &#8211; he is the consummate foil to my sometimes overly realistic and practical persona. He is also a really fast driver.<\/p>\n<p>At either end of my trip I did track days at The Ridge in WA and Miller in UT. Thanks also to Steve Downing, Leeds Gulick, Chris Pomares, and Les Long for making everything run smoothly. I had a blast. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/john_straub_DSC_0409-randys2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/john_straub_DSC_0409-randys2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"john_straub_DSC_0409-randys\" width=\"330\" height=\"226\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/john_straub_DSC_0409-randys2.jpg 330w, https:\/\/randywells.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/john_straub_DSC_0409-randys2-300x205.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 330px) 85vw, 330px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Photo of Randy and his 911 in Salt Lake City by John Straub)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 DAYS ON THE ROAD : BACK WITH A TROPHY Just back from a road trip that will generate more photo stories for me in less time than any other.
