A Man and His Porsche

When I drove into Richardson Park along Fern Ridge Lake, I found a sports car rally going on. The park was one of the stops along the route of a two-day rally. I believe it started in Portland and was here west of Eugene today about 1 PM. The course follows a timed route. with points awarded according to how close each comes to the designated time for each stop. With the rest of today and all day tomorrow still to run, it can be a challenging event. Any delays due to car problems or other incidents can have a drastic effect on final results There were several entrants.

If I remember right, the nice owner told me the car is a 1956 Porsche. What a beauty it is! He and his wife came down from Washington for the event.

Very nice shot of this classic Porsche 356. My dad had several of these when I was growing up. By present standards not an easy car to drive and not very comfortable. Looks great though!

Good grief, I was just getting my drivers license in 1956. The
Porsche was way out of my price range then and now.
It would not surprise me if this car is in the 6 figures today.
Nice shot of the car and owner. V
