914 event planning, 2 914 GTs in Essex County Options

[william harris]

Well, be careful what you wish for. I have a couple of ideas for possible events. I happen to know that Pat Scalia (? spelling) in Gloucester is the owner of an original 914GT. He's probably open to the idea of a bunch of 914 lunatics drooling all over his car. Anyone in the group know Pat and feel like approaching him with the idea? Also, Mark Allin of Precision Auto Restoration in Newburyport is preparing his 914-6GT for Rennsport Reunion. I know Mark and will inquire as to his desire to host this group. Wish me good luck (this guy is from Gullwing Restorations so he is used to the very high end - expensive restorations). Other ideas?

When I was at Scalli Motorsports last, someone was restoring a factory GT. I was much more impressed with the 911R and 908s.

Skipper Hull (LFCG) races a flaired 914-6 and also has an early 2.0L in the shop. What I saw at his shop last was a Triumph TR3 shell, MGTC, 993 Targa, several 911s, MKII E-Type, Some odd Triumph, a TR6, and a bunch of cars I didn't care about. No, nothing fancy, but as a site for a Tech session and a possable speaker, it could be interesting. At the very least, Skipper could talk about fast 914 set-ups.

Plus, we have some knowledgeable people up in the north who could possably share something with the newbies.

There is also EPE in Framingham, Rensport in Framingham, The Motor in Marblehead, etc. With some hunting around, we should be able to give these sissy Cali-boys a good run. Now about those beer nights and 9:14 meetings???
