A Ride to Jacksonville

I think you'll enjoy the new tires. Great pics. I thought about painting (or wrapping) my CBR250r in Gulf Racing colors, but I traded it in on the CB1100. Nice look on our bike, too, but I would have gone with #20.

Here are the Gulf Porsche 917's on pit lane in 1970. I had a paddock pass for the 24 Hours of Daytona that year and was able to wander the pits and garages. The primary drivers then were Jo Siffert and Pedro Rodriguez. If memory rightly serves, Rodriguez was killed at the German round that same year and Siffert suffered crash injuries that ended his racing career. A paddock pass was $20 then, an unbelievable bargain.
