Monterey 2011; to the losers who didn't go

bryanp · 08-20-2011, 01:36 PM

including myself; I'm going to burst Lashdeep's bubble and tell everyone (before he gets the chance) that he managed to get his well traveled GT350 steering wheel signed by John Surtees and Derek Bell yesterday.

this is the same steering wheel that has been signed by Vic Elford, Bob Bondurant, Dan Gurney, Brian Redman, Roger Penske and a few others whom I am forgetting.

Derek Bell will sign anything.... just ask Puff!

I think that wheel might have more miles on it than the car!

I know it's been to amelia island and back. sadly, no sigs. but i did manage to dent it!

really pissed i missed that this year. Hopefully a bunch of the GTO's will show up at amelia.

+1 on the losers who didn't go...this year was unreal...

I just put up five random vids...from Concorso, Laguna Seca, etc...

Also, as BryanP mentioned...I got Surtees and Bell to sign the steering wheel..awesome.

They join Parnelli Jones, Bob Bondurant, George Follmer, Vic Elford, Dan Gurney and Brian Redman on it.

I just need Stirling Moss and Mario Andretti next!

The action was unreal...

i'm really pissed i missed it. did you see all of the gto's?

lashss · 08-23-2011, 11:27 AM

Indeed, saw them. I've seen GTOs on the track at least twice a year for almost 15 yrs so it's not the first thing I run to at the events.

During the GTO race, I was actually warming up a vintage Trans Am car for a buddy of mine in the paddock.

I also met Valentino Balboni and Tom Tjaarda...and Michael Anthony (Van Halen bassist) Wayne Carini, etc.

It was amazing...

This picture is worth a thousand unsaid words. BTW, where is Puffy these days?

I'll bet he still hasn't washed the ink off his chest.
