Here is a short in-car video of the second race of my 3 day race weekend at Summit Point Motorsports Park in W.Va. This race was black flagged on the second lap. I was down on power and torque, but ran the event anyway (getting that taken care of this off season). There were about 6 914's in the Group 2 (2 liter and greater) races with a lot of other nice vintage racers.
I built the yellow car specifically for vintage racing and this was my first vintage event that ever I raced in. What a rush! Oh yea, that green 914 in front of me on the start is a real GT. The #19 Max Moritz car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TD6PeZritI |

Sounds like a 4 cylinder? If you are going to do many of these races I would suggest getting a 6 and putting that in it. A 2 liter six will last for years possibly as long as it is not over revved and has a good oil system/cooler and in the long run will be cheaper. The 4 cylinder engines I had would last 2 or 3 race weekends max and the first 2L six I had lasted 26 race weekends! That is usually 6 20 or 30 minute sessions a weekend. The down side is it used double the gas a 4 did BUT was a much better idea! Besides there are only a very few GT bodies type fours and they all raced IMSA I think?
