914World.com _ The Paddock _ GGR PCA Round 5 had a good showing of 914s

Cool shot of the 914 participants at Golden Gate PCA Auto-X on Sunday.
Interesting that 914s cover the entire classifications from AX2 to AX16
The Orange monster and the Blue/silver cars run AX2 , while yours truly in the stock '73 (yellow) runs in AX16

GREAT shot!
Andrew's fastest time in 222, which would have won the event, was coned away. Too bad, but I guess just 0.2xx off TTOD, for third, isn't bad; tight group on the podium.
Nice going Andrew!
I wish Andrew had run 222 at Parade.

Great seeing so many 914s out there! Made me feel home sick. EDs 914 is a monster too with big 3.8! It's a brutal car!
Dang I was happy being under second off those fast 914s my first time out with my new suspension and fat tires. Kinda cool chasing 914 race cars in their newer big brother and keeping up finally. Took getting Cayman down to 2175 lbs before it really started to scoot. I still have easy 100 lbs to remove so will be fun to see how it fairs against the fast 914s once it's closer to 2000 lbs.

Colin Chapman would have loved to see a sub-2000lb Cayman!

He's my idol
My favorite quotes that I have embraced with this build.
Simplify and then add lightness.
Adding HP makes you fast on the straights, subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere.

That last quote is a classic and so true as we both have learned from the seat of our pants!
