[yeahmag]

I'll be out at Streets of Willow with Speed Ventures on 4/6 if anyone is in the area and wants to say hi or join in the fun.

Thanks for the inputs! I will probably have my "photographer hat" on this weekend, one day at VARA+SpeedVentures at WSIR and the other day at the FoS in Fontana. I'll definitely aim to get shots of any and all 914's I see and will relay any good ones to you.

I have never driven with VARA yet but am checking it out and have been in contact with some officers and members. My car is eligible and already more-or-less prepped per their rules; would most likely be classed in GTU and I have no idea whether I'd be competitive. I'm not competitive in my POC class either so nothing new there, and it's still fun regardless.

I am placed in GTU along with 2 Datsun 240Z's, 2 911's and another 914. Entire race group is 33 cars if everyone shows up. Interesting mix: 7 Corvettes, 3 Cobras, 5 Camaros, Sunbeam Tiger, 4 Datsun 240Z's, Ginetta, Jaguar, 4 911's, 2 914's, Mazda Miata, BMW M3, Lotus, and 2 WSR spec racers.

Modified 914's are not generally very competitive according to POC rules for V and old Race classes, but the newer GT formula may work better using power to weight. I just haven't gone down that road yet.

Thanks Steve! GTU sounds like the place for me with VARA. I suspect our cars' performance is pretty similar (and your driving is probably a helluva lot better.) With POC I am now in V1 which is a joke in terms of the 911's I would be up against...except that there basically aren't any left. So many folks have moved to GT already or gone to the newer water pumpers in GTC, BSR/BSX etc. Almost certainly I will re-class into GT-something and probably won't be competitive there either but should be much closer.

Look forward to hopefully seeing you out there this weekend.
