Car week continues! The Mc Call event I was never able to do it before, and I have to thank all the people involved to getting my tickets, as otherwise I would not could have visited, the entry fee is awful expensive…. especially the “judge” who granted me the ticket from his wife I want to thank very much!! wowh!!

McCall is a mixed car and airplane show for charity, what started as a BBQ for friends turned out to be a premier event worldwide!

Welcome on the red carpet!!

Next morning was the Pebble Beach rally… all cars participating on the rally get more points at the concourse on sunday, so almost every car participate…

Out of several options we choose to see the rally in Monterra where they stop for breakfast because that’s the less crowded of all possibilities..

My favourite car of this event was this total original 356 A Carrera coupe…

DSC01434_resizedDSC01436_resized

Ok, arrived in the bay area, first stop was Ron Chuck, a real legend on its own, tuned thousands of engines, top of the bill in the Formula Vee world, build transmissions and engines, all Volkswagen and Porsche… but especially he’s good to put Porsche engines on his dyno and set jetting and carburetors right…

DSC01441_resized

Having my speedster over we decided it might be the perfect moment to take the engine out and have it over to Ron to give it a serious tune up!

DSC01447_resized

setting the ignition…

DSC01458_resized

and run the dyno…
