Watching the F prod SCCA racing on speed channel and I'm wondering why the 914s are getting whipped? No offense Chris, congrats on your finish!
I'm ignorant to the world of racing rules and such, but I'm looking at X19s, MGs and even a Lancia spanking the 914s and can't help thinking...what up wit dat?? Educate me and make me feel better about the automotive love of my life getting beat by cars I always though were inferior to ours. |

I believe Chris told me that the 914 weight penalty was 2020 lbs with driver...
Compared to a triumph at 1600-1800 lbs... The traditional MG's, Triumphs etc are the ones that the rules are designed for, and they are designed against the 914 because when they were originally raced the 914 came from nowhere to win all the regionals with type 4's and the nationals with six's......so there was a rule change that year and they have been in the dog house ever since... And, Porsche had such a fight over it that they left SCCA and joined up with IMSA and never looked back.. Rich |
