Last issue's final OKs fell on the Friday of WCC, so I got stuck here. Came to Candlestick Sat. and was impressed with the cars but moreso the people. Got some old fashioned film of many cars at the autocross that day, too. But, sadly, that was my only day on the scene and I felt a little disconnected...
Looking at next issue's slot for the WCC story, I think it a bit lame to write up an event I missed 2/3s of -- plus I know there are some highly talented people on this board (SLITS The Poet please take a bow!)... So would anyone like to help out and take a stab at getting published in Excellence? I'm looking for 1000-1500 words on the people, places, cars, and EMOTION of the event. Please, no laundry lists -- do this event justice by sucking all those 911 and 356 owners in so they can't put it down. I mean, where else do you get a Dutch 914 master flying in, a Nissan 3000cc 914, a family-built 928-powered 914 towed in from Minnesota, a Flux Capacitor-equipped electric 914 that runs 13s in the 1/4 mile, etc?!? Best guideline: If you have fun writing it, it will probably be fun reading it. Of course, I'll pay the author whose story gets published at our normal rate...which would probably work out to a few (or possibly several) hundred bucks. There's no catch, other than I'd need it pretty quickly (week or so?) and you may end up competing with your fellow 914 clubbers. I'm currently talking to Brad on figuring out if I can publish some of the great pictures so many have posted, how to make that happen, if people will allow it, etc. There are a LOT of good ones! Many, many thanks, pete |

I bowed out and didn't write anything - too many good cooks the kitchen. I know whatever Pete chooses it will be great.
The WCC was the result of this 914 club website. It brought together all of us. This site raises the 914 to the respectability I've always felt it deserves. The WCC showed how we are a 914 family- comprised of great people, each with our own forms of expression (stock, modified, race, show). As a group, we enjoyed touring, racing, and showing our 914s. At the end, we got to see most likely the rarest 914 on the planet in No. 4 (11). I look forward to future events and I'm damn proud to be a part of it all. Best |
