I got to the Stapleton Event (first timer) on Sunday afternoon and
caught a few pictures and glipses of the "Beast" before Carl Jerritts
left for the day.  The 5ktq was spectacular.  It got me looking back at
old issues of EC and saw the May 1996 issue with a feature on the
"Beast".  It looked like he had definetly done some mods to the car
since that article (Porsche Big Reds) and the pictures in EC do not do
this car justice.  Much more awesome in person.

Nice Post Scott.
