The Garage Flickr Pool: Helmut marko’s Porsche 917

I really need to delve into the Flickr pool more often to liven things up here in The Garage, so I can offer a bit more variety. The problem is that there are so many great images, and yet I continually go back to the work of Flickr user Nigel Smuckatelli.

His real name is Louis Galanos and he spent some time toting a lens around Sebring and Daytona back in the golden years. It’s fortunate for us that Louis took the time, because his work is just incredible.

The car above is the Porsche 917k campaiged by the Martini & Rossi team for Helmut Marko and Rudi Lins in the 1971 24 hours of Daytona. The car did not finish.

Be sure to visit The Garage on Flickr, where there are just too many great photos to show here.

Damn, I need a smoke. That’s some of the best porn I have seen in weeks.
