I was just reminiscing about my old auto-x days and was thinking back to Gary Walton's amazing Porsche 914-4 that he used to terrorize SCCA E-mod with back in the 1980's.
I think he won something like 4 National Championships with that car. Super wide body with a built 2.5 four cylinder and if I remember correctly they did a lot of computer modeling to come up with the cage, etc. I Google'd this, but came up blank with any pics online. Does anyone know if Gary still has the car? Or if it even exists anymore? I remember some great write-ups possibly in the SCCA Sporscar magazine about it's build. Anyone out there have any interesting info or updates about this car? ps It was painted a menacing black with Garretson logo's I believe. |

His son Rich was involved with Jerry Woods Enterprises ...Sure he could tell you.
Got a "ride along" in that back in the day....He would instruct you on where to " hold on" so your hands weren't flailing about...Talk about "G's ". And a great guy to boot !
