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. |

As far as I know.. we are one of the only 914's in the USA with Data Acq installed and being used. We actually dont need more development work.. what we need is for the event to be held a little closer to home. It is almost impossible for us to even test their during the normal race season.. so when we do show up.. its a scramble. It's a 48 hour drive from our doorstep. Not much fun.. and all for a trophy.
I will be pushing two FP guy's that are capable of winning the show to race this year. Something nobody has said anything about... COOLING. The air cooled engine gets heat soaked.. it slowly loses power over the duration of the event. Water cooled cars maintain a certain level (which is why Porsche hasnt raced a air cooled car in 7 years). B |
