Targa Car of the Day

Here are some photos of car number 510, a 1976 Porsche Carrera driven by Glen Clarke of Ontario, with co-driver Andy Proudfoot of Gander. Clarke drove to a first-place-overall finish in Targa Newfoundland 2006.


Apparently Clarke originally bought this car on eBay for $300! I guess they had a lot of work to do to get the Porsche race-ready.


#510 is the only car with a perfect record so far at Targa Newfoundland 2009 (having finished three days of racing without receiving a single penalty) and currently holds first place overall.
