One is that we’d simply like to bring this big party onto our home territory.

  • Hypertherm Helps Pixar's Cars Prepare for European Adventure
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hypertherm Helps Pixar’s Cars Prepare for European Adventure HANOVER, N.H.—May 30, 2008—Hypertherm, the world leader in plasma metal cutting technology, is helping Pixar’s Cars prepare for their next adventure. Lightning McQueen, Sally Carrera, and Mater the tow truck are heading off to Europe this week for a summer tour that includes stops in the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and more. But before they go, the Cars are getting a little TLC from master Hollywood car customizer Eddie Paul. Paul is working to freshen up the Cars after a two year long tour throughout North America and is using Hypertherm plasma to do it. “We’ve been using the Powermax30® pretty much non-stop,” said Paul. “We took it out of the box and haven’t put it down since. The small size of the Powermax30 combined with its powerful performance has made it indispensible to us.” Hypertherm’s Powermax30 is one of the smallest and lightest plasma cutting systems around. It weighs just 20 pounds, yet contains advanced inverter technology and has an unequaled 50 percent duty cycle that enables it to provide unsurpassed performance and power. The Powermax30 is also a rugged and reliable industrial machine that can easily cut 1/4 inch thick metal and sever 1/2 inch thick metal. It is used by people who work in a variety of different industries, such as automotive repair and restoration, residential construction, and metal arts. In addition to the unit’s small size and ability to perform, Paul also really likes the Powermax30’s tapered 70-degree torch because of the arc visibility and flexibility it gives him.

Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

The three race cars represent three important steps in www.porscheroadandrace.com Porsche’s history of turbocharged race car development. These are: Year Car Comment 1974 911 Carrera RSR 2.1 Turbo One of the most historic racing cars of all time 1976 Porsche 934 The Group 4 racer used by Porsche’s customers 1990 Porsche 962C The 962C was the most dominant of the Group C era 1976 Porsche 934: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Brian Henniker www.porscheroadandrace.com 1990 Porsche 962C: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Mike Maez 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.1 Turbo The first of Porsche’s ‘wild’ 911 creations, the Carrera RSR 2.1 Turbo, represents a turning point in the history of competition Porsches, as it was the first use of turbocharged engines in a production-based race car. Just four examples of this racer were built, this car (chassis #R13) being the last of the batch. www.porscheroadandrace.com 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Turbo: Courtesy of Gooding & Company – ©Mathieu Heurtault At just 800kg, the body was significantly lighter than the road car on which is was based.

  • Porsche's Answer to IMSA in 1977
    www.porscheroadandrace.com The 934/5 – Porsche’s answer to IMSA in 1977 Published: 16th December 2016 By: Martin Raffauf Online version: https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/the-9345-porsches-answer-to-imsa-in-1977/ This is the Peter Gregg car (chassis #930 770 0952) as shown at the Porsche Rennsport 2015. In early 1977, the Peter Gregg car sent home from the Atlanta IMSA race due to ‘illegal modifications.’ This photo shows the car restored with 935 fenders as it was run later in 1977 Sports car racing changed drastically in the early- to mid-1970s. The rules for the World Championship shifted away from the 5-litre cars such as the 917 and Ferrari 512, to the 3- litre versions such as the Ferrari 312PB, Porsche 908 and Alfa Romeo T33 in 1972. While most Porsche customers ran the RSR in GT racing, a few also ran 908s, but Porsche knew the 908 was not competitive for overall victory anymore. It was under powered and with the raising of the minimum weight, it basically lost any advantage it had against the Ferrari and Alfa. www.porscheroadandrace.com Ludwig Heimrath car (chassis #930 770 0958) restored with 935 fenders, on the grid at Monterey Historics 2016 Porsche started working on the adaptation of their turbo technology (taken from the 917 Can-Am cars) to their 911-based production cars, which saw the introduction of the Martini RSR turbo cars. These ran effectively in 1974 and 1975 as prototype class cars, but still were not quick enough to win overall against the 3-litre cars.

A rare opportunity exists on the top floor of Cheesman East, the beautiful high rise building at 2000 E. 12th Avenue. Residences #26A and #26B, the entire penthouse level, are available with options including the entire floor or a smaller portion subject to agreement with the seller. Having experienced smoke damage from a fire in the residence directly below it, the south unit of 2,800 square feet has been completely stripped down to the cement walls, floors, and ceiling. The north unit of 1,400 square feet was not damaged, and can be available as a 1 bedroom residence. Here is the perfect opportunity to construct the residence of your dreams, perched on the highest point at Cheesman Park with magnificent views of the Park, Downtown, and the entire Front Range. Natural gas is available. Roof rights are included. There are 4 garage spaces. Balcony space on the west side is an option. Create your spectacular 4,200-square-foot residence with 360º views, or call to discuss options for a smaller residence.
