Some people here know last fall I bought an older FP car with a dead motor. My plan was to drop a /6 in it and run DE/AX events with it. This past weekend I was up at BlackHawk farms crewing for my friend running a HP MG midget. There were two 914's there also, one running EP the other FP. While talking with both drivers about their cars and then about mine I really get the feeling deep down that I should maybe remove the /6 mount and just build a good FP engine. I already have a 3.0L six engine waiting to go in, just need to get a flywheel for it. I really have the itch to get my SCCA novice license next spring and drive in some races with my buddy(s). My concern is with the 3.0 from everything I read I would run SPO with the big V8 guys, which maybe I guess kind of has me a little worried that I am not ready for that level of racing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I guess my other thought is it would be fun to run with my HP buddies also. So...... any thoughts? I know quit being a wimp (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |

For now I am just going to put the /6 in and run SPO. All I really want at this time is to get track time and my license. From there I will see where it leads me. Been looking at vintage or maybe doing HPDE with it.
To be honest, now don't hate me, but if I was really going to serious about racing it would be in a Spec Miata. I know, I know, spec wreckers, but hear me out. I like the fact that they are "spec" and for the most part all the same. It requires driver skill and suspension setup more than just HP to be a front runner. Another is you could change tires and run ITA also in regional races. So you could actually have two races in one race weeknd for your money. I know a few SM guys that do that. Not all SM guys are nuts, I have seen my share of SM races and to be honest there hasn't been anymore bumping going on that in in other class. Right now I just need to get the engine in the car and get seat time. |
