So my first car in high school was a 1.7L that came to me in two pieces, front have and back half. 31 years later I decided I needed another air cooled car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

First time on 914 World, I've been racing 944's for about 7 years but wanted something to go SVRA with. I'll likely have a few questions.

Hey Brent!
Welcome to the 914 craziness... what the heck are you thinking??? A 914? Only crazy people buy these things. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

Oh, and as you probably know, I am totally against modified 914. Bone stock they should be, I say...no mods...ever. Blasphemy!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Didn't know about the 13...sorry to hear... what did you do?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

No, Nadine's not able to make it. She's working through the weekend...system roll out at her client. Hazards of the job, but at least it pays well....

Seriously, any help you need with the 914 stuff, do not hesitate to ask...either email me directly or just post on here. There are a lot of really good people on this board that can help a lot....great resource!!

Oh, and

Weeeellllll.....Mr. Blazer and I went into 10A two wide at Road Atlanta, I came out ahead, he contacted me behind the rear wheel with his front bumper and I came on the short end of that stick.....

fast forward to Daytona, I went waaaayyyyy deep into T1 and a stinking SP2 parked it going into same said corner, contact #2 so Boeder sent me packing for an extended vacation (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Of course Henderson said that just meant I have more time to be a scrutineer.....grrrrrr.

Everyone else, I'm not that sensitive really I'm not! I am however really looking forward to a new circle of friends. The 944 racing crowd is great, I expect the same out of the 914 crowd. One great thing I see about the 14 crowd is y'all stick around for a long time. Some of the 44 crowd tends to be kids that buy a $1500 car and last about 6 months before they move on to another project. I have enjoyed, and will continue to enjoy 944 racing for almost a decade and expect I will do the same with my 14.
