I'd like to race my streetable 914 when I am done building it. I'd also like to be competitive, and decisions that I make now will affect my classification later.
What classes should I be building for? Where is the 914 most competitive? I don't have an engine yet, so anything goes. Looks like these are all of the possibilities for SCCA Solo: CS STS2 DSP SM2 XP DP DM EM CS is not going to happen. Obviously, DM and EM will not be realistic for a streetable car. I'd like to road race as well as AX, but AX is more of a priority for the time being. Actually, I'd like to build a dedicated track car in the future if things work out... |

I ran very well in DSP in my 70 with a 74 2.0 and bigger sway bar up front, adjustable koni's shocks, and Kuhmos V710 tires. I even won the class in 06 for my region. Last year I bumped myself to SM2 because, well by SCCA rules I was cheating in DSP because I have the Mayuer lonigtude kit installed. With that being said I was always out gunned by a 70 911 and a turbo miata. Usually by about 2 -3 secs by the 911 and under 1 sec by the Miata.
This year I will be XP with a new 914 racecar and WAY over my head, but it will be fun. My brother in law runs his completely stock 72 1.7 in CS and actually does pretty good against the Miata horad. If was building a street car I would follow the rules for DSP, I think a 914 can actullay do very well there. YMMV Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
