Luftgekühlt 4-Air cooled Porsche gathering 2017

It was a tricky busy weekend! The Quail Motorcycle Gathering May 6th in Carmel, CA. then the Luftgekuhlt 4 Porsche event on the 7th, 340 miles, 5 1/2 hrs (IF non stop) away in San Pedro, CA for the next day!? AND to top it all off, the Luftgekuhlt was from 7am to 2pm! This meant I had to leave Cramel at 6am the latest to be in San Pedro at around noon for the last 2 hrs of the event, so I did!

I've never been to the Luftgekuhlt, I heard so much about it and it was well worth it. Besides, one of the two founders, Howie Idelson, used to be a co-worker of mine back 4, 5 years ago in the semi corporate world. Even back then, I knew he was a very talented creative director/designer, so I am not surprised he and his partner now present this mega tasteful event. Back then he was already planning his event and I was already planning Pagnol!

Howie is also and ex shifter Kart champion and now his son is literally taking the lead in that racing world, so I bumped into him at Willow Springs Raceway recently when I was at a motorcycle trackway at the big track and he was with his son racing at a Kart championship round at the the smaller track. He mentioned the date of the event and I was ready to go even then!

This event of course goes hand in hand with our M1A auto jacket, part of the reason to share this opportunity I had to shoot some amazing cars and event with you, enjoy!
