81 Year Old Porsche Racer

Frank, one of our PorschePerfect.com readers, sent in this video along with the following explanation:

This red 997 turbo was being serviced at Harper Porsche hear in Knoxville.

Remarkably, I am told, the owner and driver in this video is Willard Kinzer. He is 81 years old, or maybe 81 years young is more appropriate!

I hope I’m that fast off the line when I hit my 80’s! Thanks for sending this in Frank.

  1. Paul Newman raced porsches into his 80’s. I wonder if there is a connection, maybe the fountain of youth is somewhere in Stuttgart.

  2. Wow, I’m 77 and thought I was doing good tooling my ’05 911 2C around town.

  3. That’s insane!, he beat that 20 year old driver. 😛

  4. Good job Willard. Looks like a lot of fun.

  5. Wow! God Bless that guy.
