VIDEO: 2011 Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV #4 - FRIDAY

OKAY! So I finally got around to getting another video edited so I can share it with the world. FINALLY! All this homework from college has been kicking my butt. I can barely keep up! Somehow though, I managed to get myself sick over the holiday weekend. But of course, I had more homework to catch up on. The problem is, when I think I need to sleep, I can't. When I need to be awake, I'm sleeping. My body clock is all screwed up now. I am awake at 4:00 in the morning, I have been awake since 10:00 yesterday morning, and I have to be at school for 13 hours today. How am I supposed to do that. COFFEE will be my best friend today. Anyways! Here is the video I got done last night, today, yesterday, OH CRAP! I'm lost! Enjoy the video! Comment if you like it. Subscribe to my blog feed. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel.

Event Poster

I know its been a month since the event, but I have finally got 1 of my videos put together from the weekend. I have included the only photos I was able to get due to being so busy working. These pics are from my phone, so the quality isn't the best. I would have preferred to have used my Canon 40D. Anyhow, The event was awesome, and the first video of many to come is from Friday morning when I was walking through the paddock to get to where I worked the entire weekend.

So, I need to get everyone up to date as to how the weekend went, so here we go.

I had only planned on working the event on Saturday and Sunday, but as it turned out, I was able to get a ride with another track volunteer on Friday morning. I was able to get out of school for the day. Not much happens in lab on Friday anyways, so I took advantage of it and went down for the extra day. I got everything ready late Thursday and hit the sheets. As usual, from the excitement of what was ahead all weekend, I didn't get very much sleep. I was up and ready to go long before my ride even got here.



Mercedes-Benz Transporter

After stopping at a few places along the way, we arrived around 9:30 or so at the track and we got our stuff settled and off I went to my post. But, of course I pulled out the video camera and grabbed some footage of some of the cars on my way to my post. I have absolutely no complaints either about where I was. The Start/Finish gate was probably one of the best places I could have been stationed. Some great things to see from there. The day went great.

At the end of the day, I got the usual - "Go lock up the garages" and of course I couldn't say no. I had wanted to go get some photos of the cars that were in the garages for display all weekend and thought it would be the opportunity to do so. But, I didn't get to do so. I can't complain either. I was able to get a very exclusive, brief, but exclusive look at the 918 RSR SPYDER that was their for potential customer to view. I was taken into the garage, and as I walked around the corner I immediately saw it with the silk cover over it. Even with the cover it was a beautiful car. Then they pulled the cover off. WOW! Amazing! I looked it over for about all of maybe 2 minutes and I have to say, this is the best example of a modern day Porsche. I am not really to keen to liking the marque as far a the road going cars go, but this cars was sexy. So, don't get me wrong about my liking the marque though. If it's a race car, then I just can't resist seeing them hit the track. I also have to say this, I used to love Porsche when I was a young kid, about 25-30 years ago, but it just couldn't be. I have a passion for another fast marque. However, my liking has slightly been re-kindled from being at this event.

So, now that I've thrown out my experience for the day, enjoy the video and please tell me what you think by posting or liking the video on my YouTube channel. And, if you could please do so, if you like what you see, SUBSCRIBE to my channel.

A little behind!!!

Well, I haven't been able to get to updating anything since I got back from the Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV. I have had to catch up on school stuff and it has me pretty busy. I have also been trying to make a little more money by adding stuff to my eBay store. No money, no nothing. So I have had to get my priorities in line for the past week or so. I have some down time coming from school, so I hope to get things up to date in the next week or two. Keep checking back. Some great video to be posted from the event.

2011 Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV #2

Just four cell pics. These are from the Start/Finish where I worked all weekend. More to come.

2011 Porsche Rennsport Reunion #1

Another great weekend has come once again for me to put in my volunteer time at the track. The 2011 Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV is here. This is the first time the event has visited the Western United States, and it is going to be a very busy event. For those that have read some of my other entries, you know what track I am speaking of. For those of you that may be reading my blog for the first time, the track I speak of is none other than Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. I had originally planned on going down on Saturday morning and just working the day and coming home and doing my homework that is due on Monday, but the chance to go down on Friday came. So I decided to go ahead and just get everything together and go, including bringing my homework. Why not! I'll be able to get to it in the evening after things wind down from the days activities. I'll have two evenings of nice quiet time somewhere in the paddock that I may have access to that is comfortable to just relax and get it done. So now that I have everything packed up now, I just need to get to bed so I can be ready for pick up around 6:00 in the morning.

But! before I get to bed, I wanted to drop a few lines as a pre-entry for the weekend. I have been looking forward to this since I had first heard about it being on the schedule. I have to admit one thing though. I haven't really been to big on the Porsche marque for some time. However, since I started volunteering in mid 2008, I have grown to really appreciate the marque once again. Honestly, I have really grown to appreciate a lot of marques that I had never really had the chance to get so close to. So, now that the weekend is upon us for a rare chance to be involved in such a gathering of world renowned rare, classic, vintage, and modern Porsches that have been raced throughout the history of motorsports, I can't wait to arrive through the paddock gates when I get there in the morning. I will do my best to find time to tell of my experiences throughout the weekend. I may just post a photo or two, so please check back and see what I have to tell about the weekends events. Good Night!
