Porsche 912 Pit Stop Practice

In the midst of the full dress rehearsal for the Porsche 912 car, Frederic Makowiecki’s hand on Michael Christensen’s back signals the urgency.  Unseen in the photo is the ever-present stopwatch used by the Porsche crew chief to time the practice stops.

Even though the time sheets from the morning session were irrelevant, given all the activity up and down pit lane, watching pit lane for this 30 minutes or so on race morning was one of the highlights of the weekend.
