When I started racing with VARA I was impressed to learn they had a 'Century Club' for driver/car combos.
You became a member of this elite club when the age of the driver plus the age of the car totaled 100.
I am now a member of this special group. Who else is in the club?

Posted by: Tom_T Mar 7 2015, 11:28 AM

I would be +5 ... if I raced in VARA 43 + 62 = 105

I don't know if he's still racing his 71 w/ 2L in CA's VARA - but Mike Saywer from Seal Beach CA in #502 black 914 would be too I think. Maybe you've run across him. He's not a member on here, but his former partner on red #501 `74 2L (motor now in the `71 #502) was a member Barry B. - they ran as SOB Racing (Saywer Or Briscoe). I now have their #501 as a parts shell for my `73's resto/repairs.

I guess a really young guy/gal could run a really old car & still be in the 100 Club!
... or an old dude/dudette in a newer car!

Congrats!
Tom

66+42= 108

42 is not only the age of the car, but how long I've owned it too

Posted by: Al Meredith Mar 7 2015, 04:23 PM

113 with the 914 , I've been driving Porsches for 48 years , I married a 356 owner in 67.

That's remarkable.

Posted by: orthobiz Mar 7 2015, 06:59 PM

100 or 101 depending upon manufacture date vs. model year...I have two '74s.

Looks like our average is over 100? What does this say about the future of the 914.

Gotta get more younguns!!!

Posted by: 1972 914 2.0 Mar 7 2015, 07:06 PM

Wow, I'm only half way there

43+18=51

49 years to go!

Posted by: ripper911 Mar 7 2015, 07:14 PM

33+41= 74

Posted by: Johny Blackstain Mar 7 2015, 07:18 PM

Not really sure-

45 + 52 = 97

or

41 + 52 = 93

or

41 + 45 + 52 = 138

Posted by: budk Mar 7 2015, 07:23 PM

your car will age as you do...... only 24.5 years to go!

Posted by: VegasRacer Mar 7 2015, 07:31 PM

43 + 18 = 61

100 - 61 = 39
39 / 2 = 19.5 years to go.

Posted by: Andyrew Mar 7 2015, 07:46 PM

Looks like I have 15 years to go -30 right now.

Congrats John BTW

Posted by: PaulK Mar 9 2015, 11:15 PM

102 for me, hard to believe that these cars are so old and still contemporary in style, I've had people ask me if it is new, so weird.
Maybe we need to get some 914/100 decals for this August group.

Posted by: X911IC Mar 10 2015, 12:17 AM

75 2.0 plus 65 y.o. Puts me at 105!
