I was talking with a 914 owner about engines and the cost-benefit of a Subaru swap. This person is looking to build a street-legal car that will serve for track duty. But AFAIK, PCA has restrictions on non-Porsche engine participation.
So, since I know most of you all are far more familiar with the regulations and options than I am, I'm looking for information on what sorts of restrictions does PCA place on non-Porsche engine swaps? What other options for track days are available (nationally, but SF Bay Area specifically)? Is building a non-PCA-legal car a shot in the foot? Or is PCA somewhat irrelevant because of availability of other options? What are your thoughts here? And I'm looking specifically at track days, and not autocrosses, but I'm interested in learning about AX info as well. |

only your interpretation of our current rules Chris. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
That is why I want it stated in language that is plain and simple... our current language: 3.0 (g) U.S. Delivered Cars: Cars are defined as U.S. model specification Porsches that were normally delivered to the U.S. public for general road use through the manufacturer's authorized sales outlets. I maintain that a 912 was not delivered with a type1 motor with a VW serial number on it. |

I suppose your just filling slots? |

I suppose your just filling slots? Well thats where it gets a bit complicated. If you read it that way, you aren't allowing any modifications. The rules don't say what that actually means. Where are we going to draw the line? We will have to come up with an answer for next year's rules. |
