The Beck 914-6

[Hammerin Hank]

Josette's 914. Ya, it's bad...

This is one of my favorite cars in the region. It is in great shape, can move like a panther and has boat loads of character!

You forgot the part about the hottie who drives it....back back, she's all mine..

(if Rick Owens is lurking.....)

Josette really knows how to drive that car. I was disappointed that I only saw her drive once this year.

[Hammerin Hank]

Yes she does.

She doesn't show you guys 10/10ths, though. Not that she can't, but busting it would break her heart. Mine too. She keeps it just fast enough to make it interesting. Which is probably a good place to be for DE's. The car is definitely capable. Back when Randy had it, it was smoking some of the cars in the next class up. Pretty impressive. http://www.nsxfiles.com/la99.htm (scroll down to the qualifying results)

That's really cool! Thanks for sharing the link. That's one seriously fast car. Well, hopefully we'll see you guys in the new season!

One of my desktop photos is actually a rear end shot of the car (and Brian talking to Josette at the starting line) - go here to see it:

I can send you a full size version if you don't have anything similar in your collection and would like a copy.

Another photo from the same event is posted here:

Hey, that's me in there holding on for dear life!    



I was also the clown sliding around with the red Neon. LOL. I was just going to spectate but I got my arm twisted for the afternoon session. That was a fun day.

[Wellardmac]

I figured that was you.

I agree, that was a really good AX day - It was the first one that I attended - I just watched and learned. No turning back now that I have the AX bug.

Josette's 914 has to be the coolest car in our region.  Anyone can go out and buy a new fast car, but that 914 is just so right.  Plus, the fact that it has the "Beck Provenance" adds just that much more to the cool factor.

If I had that car for a weekend, no one would touch me, and most likely, I'd be offered a spot driving alongside Kimi or Michael. (In my dreams).

How 'bout a stock, all original 914-6. This is what they start out as when new!
