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 |

Nice.
vintage racing is so addicting all racing is great, but in vintage there is so much competition for a 914, unlike PCA club racing. the 6 or 7 years I ran it. Great for you The max owner was on the board a while back I still think the 914's are growing in numbers for vintage Did they run you out of class because of the bigger motor? usually the wrong motor equates to exhibition... if you are planning on motor work, you may want to reduce your bore and go legal. its such a great sport its important to honor it you did a great job it sounds like a little bit of jetting transition is in your future you can work with the air corrections to adjust that transition and maybe play with the e-tubes also. fun b |

For VRG, Group 2 which I ran in the Turkey Bowl, or more specifically class C1 (part of Group 2) permits 1.6 to 2.5 liters production sports cars up to 1972. Most of the 914's were a "little" above 2 liters if you know what I mean. But you're right, the teeners with the larger engines run with the Big Bore production sports cars. VRG is a very good group to run with. |
