BTW, here's Fordahl at the last time he ran at the Nats in Leeds car.....2008. He gave up too much on day one. T 1 123 John Timothy Thomas 1971 Datsun 240Z Hoosier Mississippi R 54.608(1) 50.351 48.867 90.748 [23] Tampa, FL Zee Racing MW 42.354 41.944 *41.881 T 2 128 Greg T Fordahl 1971 Porsche 914 Hoosier Northwest R 53.029 50.796 56.747(3) 92.083 [28] Bremerton, WA Fordahl Motorsports/ Hoosier NP 46.484(1) 42.321 *41.287 (1.335) Day two shows how competitive the the car is. Thomas (in the same car)beat "Toby" both days in 2009. As usual Grant's information is garbage spread freely over the net. Here's some "garbage" fer yah JP! Talking about flat out WWF smack down of FP 914 by the big German sedan. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) Hey even one of our rookies in the Subie are breathing down Parade winning 914's back! Time for to sell that old underpowered FP jalopy or move to XP and put a subie in it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Take this and smoke it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) Class standings for FP [21 Cars] (9/9/2010 2:25:39 PM) --------------------------------------------------------- T 1 193 Toby Larsson 1998 BMW 328is Org Hoosier 57.536 57.484 61.756(2) 57.484 --------------------------------------------------------- T 2 123 John Thomas 1971 Datsun 240Z Blu Hoosier 58.823 57.892 58.269 57.892 (0.408) --------------------------------------------------------- T 3 9 Jonathan Jackson 1973 Porsche 914-6 Ylw Hoosier 60.960 59.984 58.891 58.891 (0.999) --------------------------------------------------------- T 4 93 Aaron Goldsmith 1998 BMW 3 Series Org Hoosier 61.900 61.288(1) 59.234 59.234 (0.343) --------------------------------------------------------- T 5 28 Leeds Gulick 1971 Porsche 914-6 Wht Hoosier 60.797 59.322 69.291(1) 59.322 (0.088) --------------------------------------------------------- T 6 128 Greg Fordahl 1971 Porsche 914 Wht Hoosier 59.451 67.244(3) 60.479(1) 59.451 (0.129) --------------------------------------------------------- 7 20 Josh Salvage 2005 Subaru STI Blk Hoosier 60.425 60.393 59.455 59.455 (0.004) --------------------------------------------------------- ...Man after seeing how bad Toby beat everyone I'm wondering if I made the right decision not to go. I thought all podium spots behind him would at least be within a second. Ex national champs are 2 seconds off the pace. WOw! This post has been edited by grantsfo: Sep 9 2010, 02:00 PM |

I never really said anythng before but...this is a 914 BBS. if you no longer own a 914, you think they are passe...why are you here. there are boxter BBS out there. I beat many boxters but I dont go to their BBS to instigate unless I had something of value to say.

I beat many boxters but I dont go to their BBS to instigate unless I had something of value to say. Been and always will be a 914 lifer. Drove them in high school, have over 400,000 miles logged in 3 914's since, many years of racing in them. still have a huge bank of parts including a motor, many 914 body parts. ...And I have many positive things to say in other areas of these forums. You just chose to focus on one area where I challenge conventional wisdom around racing them against new cars and classes in SCCA. And I still think they arre great cars if you have the money to throw at them. You wont find many cars as light and with mid engine configration to huse as base of a race car. But there are some who are misguided and think that a stockish chassis and suspensioned 914 can challenge some of the newer cars in prepared and modified classes. I believe in full discloser before somone invests in biuilding a car they think will be a class winner at a national level. We have purveyors of pure BS here and on club sites that need dose of reality thrown their way occasionally. If my comments get somone to pause a little bit when the spluge of 914 rhetoric pours out in these forums I'll be satisfied. Because I'm on a 914 ownership hiatus for couple years I dont have right to post here? Suspect you'd need to kick a few more people out if ownership is criteria to post. ....Nope I'd say I'm just as much if not more a 914 fan than you or some others here. I'm not leaving the 914 world any time soon and will likely have another one in the future. |
