Hey 914 Parking Lot Heros:

Bravo to Matthew Schneider who will be running his 914 at the Streets of Willow Springs this week-end. I can only wish all you parking-lot champs would RISK the next step to REAL track events!

Some decades ago, I used to take Top Time of the Day in Dad's REAL 289 Cobra,
while always knowing that it was only a step the the Real Driving On-Track.

I know there are those nervous feelings of making the step, but I can Promise that the Streets of Willow Springs is the safest track anywhere: there is lots of 'spin-off room' and NOTHING TO HIT.

Further, of the Time-Trial groups running these events: SpeedTrialUSA.com, SpeedVentures.com and XtremeSpeedTrackEvents.com, All offer LOW COST driving schools for beginers, followed by at least 2 levels of "intermidiate" classes
which allow you to drive as you are comfortable without being DIVE-Bombed
by more advanced drivers.

So, I'm throwing down the Gauntlet: Are YOU MAN Enough to try a REAL Race Track? I GUARANTEE you will have a GREAT driving experience. The most often comparison: "The MOST FUN you can have with your CLOTHES ON!"

While time is short to make the 03-04 Nov. event with Speed Ventures.com, they have another event on 01December at 'Streets (December is often the BEST weather all year at Willow Springs).

Come-on REAL MEN!

The Speedventure event was ok, but nobody does it better than the POC.
Our 914-c.i. Car ran 1:33.997 Ccw and 1:33.107 CW, stuck really well and we finished up our scrub Khumos too! We will keep our new rubber for a decent POC event.
Much of the talk in the pits was about the corner workers and their wielding the black flag in
excess. I think that if these workers could maybe put their pushbrooms to work, there would be fewer cars on the debris-which causes most of the John Deere adventures.
Most of the flaggers stand in their cement forts toking on a stogie, are these folk kidding me?
So then our car gets black flagged, and we pull in and lose there laps discussing
that a corner worker states that we do not"Know the race line"
Ridiculous!
We set POC lap records here, my son's home track since he was 16.
I told this "Professional" to put one of their HIGH desert crackheads in our car and SHOW us a proper line.
With nothing else he had to say, we departed for the remainder of the session. Other than this
minor irritation, a great weekend, and met Terry with his crazy
fast 914-v8.
