Restaurant 917 is named for the Porsche 917, the race car that gave Porsche its first overall wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 and 1971. Renowned for its high speeds and high power outputs, the 917 is one of the most iconic sports racing cars of all time, and became a movie star with Steve McQueen at the wheel in his 1971 film Le Mans.

If the Porsche Macallan whiskey dinner isn’t in the cards, know that sports and racing race car enthusiasts can visit the Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles any day. Experience Center  hours are 8 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and driving programs begin at 9:00 a.m. Porsche delivers a heart-pounding driving experience and visitors to the Porsche Experience Center can embolden their inner race car driver on the longest track in the U.S. For more details visit the Porsche Experience Center website.

Disclosure: I am the racer in our family and visited Restaurant 917 at the Porsche Experience Center for dinner during the LA Food Bowl. I received no compensation for this post, but am determined to drive that track soon. Maybe Mother’s Day next year? *hint, hint*
