Ah rats. Moretti and the MOMO 935 Porsches were a fixture of sports car racing since we first became interested in racing. RIP Gianpiero Moretti.

I recall that his pasta cookouts in the IMSA paddock were always very popular. Must have been great pasta. :D

Ya, I remember him with an apron covering his overalls flailing away at a giant stove next to a GTP car. :D

Amazing...I took a pic of him and that Penthouse Pet at RA...almost exactly the same! Must have been standing next to that photog...IF that was at RA. Yes those IMSA days were a lot of fun. Time marches on.

Yeah, I certainly wasn't the ONLY one standing there with a camera that day...except I think I had the Pet in center frame not Gianpiero.:gomer: But I included the big MOMO logo!
