The late, great Charlie Kurtz. Charlie was a true big brother to us and an SCCA champion driver. This weekend he brought his Porsche RS-60 and dominated.
Lovely Sandra Kurtz was a much a big sister to us as Charley was a big brother. A very accomplished painter, her works are highly sought after today.
Charley and Sandra are headed somewhere. #57 was Kurtz’ BARC number.

The Porsche, with its distinctive 4 cam engine sound, was a joy to hear as well as watch.
Another shot of Charley at work. Probably more like play in the Porsche.
