Shop talk with Carl Thompson, who was Vasek Polak's Crew Chief |
|
Carl Thompson has the most wonderful shop imaginable. He's restoring the Martini 917K behind me. You can barely see its livery colors visible on the roof and front fender. In the foreground is Brad Hook's 906, ex-Gerhard Koch and also driven by Willie Kauhsen. |
|
Can anyone top this project? |
|
Here's Carl's brand new 917K. It's absolutely authentic and has never turned a wheel! SN #917-037 (Note the Martini car in background) |
|
The new 917K brings back memories of many races in David Piper's car. |
|
I got to see my old pal Milt Minter one last time at Monterey Historic races at Laguna Seca 2004. Rest in Peace, Uncle Milty. |
|
Carl is building himself something incredible in southern California right now. It's a new build 917K, not a restoration! When the chassis arrived from Switzerland it weighed 109 lbs. complete. For more photos and details paste this URL into your browser address bar: |
