The last two COTM, and previous competitions too, have featured 914 track/race cars. There have been a few suggestions to hold a COTM exclusive to race cars. This seems like a reasonable idea... Below are some draft entry criteria that could be considered for a Race Car COTM if there is support for the idea.
Racers, builders, 914World members - feedback/comments/suggestions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Propose to hold the "914 Race/Track COTM" once/year. Propose to include first 6 nominated and seconded cars. 914 Race/Track COTM Entry Rules: 1. The 914 is not street legal. 2. The 914 has participated in at least one (1) event (event = any club or otherwise sanctioned race against other cars or the clock). 3. Engine/Body/Interior/Wheels/Tires: no limitations/definitions, anything goes Created a yes/no poll for additional input from 914World members. Sept 5th Update: Some good comments on this question of adding something new to Car Of The Month. Poll closed at 80% in favor of doing something for race cars. Change is good - let's give it a try and make it work! |

I thought perhaps the definition of a race car could be hard to pin down. That's why I started with "not street legal" as a criteria; it is unambiguous with respect to race car eligibility for this particular contest. Also, based on what I've seen and read on this site, and as there is a dedicated racing forum (The Paddock), there are probably a good number of cars that are in fact dedicated race cars, to keep this special edition of the COTM running for a few years, and showcase great 914 race cars at the same time! I'm probably not alone in getting an edjumakashun from COTM contests - could also be true of an all out race car competition...
All 914World members who track their car and keep it street legal would of course remain eligible, and competitive for the other 5/6 COTM competitions per year. One more thought, we could probably evolve the entry criteria if/as needed after one or two rounds... Thanks for input so far - any more thoughts welcome. I will run the poll through Thursday.
