Owner and driver of these race cars is Mel A., who successfully qualified with both cars in the middle of the pack.

Weekend Tours in San Diego county

It's a fun way to discover the neighborhood if you take your 356 or other Porsche out to exercise to one of the many enjoyable rides outside of San Diego. Wayne took a couple road trips with his friend and felllow 356 Club member Tom. One of these trips they went up to Ramona and took out the Carreras for a drive. Wayne took the 1974 Carrera nicknamed "Old Blue" who ran beautifully.





The other trip they took out to Campo east county. Over 100 miles going on back roads in mountains through Alpine. Again, it's another great trip to get out and exercise the cars! Wayne drove the black '59 356 "Wally" and Tom the red '63 356. Both needed the heater to be on, because it was a chilly out there.

Willow Springs Racetrack

Wayne Baker Racing had a couple days of successful training at Willow Springs International raceway. The high desert climate this time of the year is pretty uncomfortable with cold temperatures of 28-30 degrees and winds of 30 miles an hour or more. Luckily it only started to rain in the afternoon and the testing of our four Porsche race cars was uneventful. We had a good run of the 904, 911s and 914 and can't wait the start the new year with some more testing before the race season begins again...

Wayne Baker hauled up four race cars for testing purposes
Great shot of Wayne leading in the white 914/6 down the hill in curve and the two mentored drivers following him in the 911s

 It was so cold that the birds at the racetrack used the heat from the tires that just raced to warm up!
