Hey all, though you might like some eye candy.
Today we had our friends 1980 IMSA 24 Hours of Daytona GTU class winning and 5th overall 914-6 at our shop (carrera6) in San Gabriel, CA It is still in it's 1983 Sebring livery (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1093.photobucket.com-17182-1418942051.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1093.photobucket.com-17182-1418942051.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1093.photobucket.com-17182-1418942051.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1093.photobucket.com-17182-1418942052.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1093.photobucket.com-17182-1418942052.5.jpg) |

guys
where can I find the rule book that shows what was and what is currently legal? Glen - where did you find that rule? Scott - do you have something that somewhere shows that a 2.8 or 3.0 was legal? I need to make some decisions on our engine and would like to make that based on what I may be able to run in vintage racing in the future. From what I've learned (and it always seems to be a moving target) that if it was IMSA legal at some point in the past, I can run. I'd just like to have the documentation to back it up... At the Hawk, the head of tech gave me shit for months in advance for Papa Smurf - saying things like "take all that crap off the car" and "we don't allow shit like that" referring to the wing and splitter (which I agreed to take off), slicks, fiberglass body, etc... |

Bob - I just googled for a while looking for "IMSA rulebook" and wasn't finding much at first, but finally noticed that the rulebook is actually called "IMSA Code" and then found a bunch of the early and mid 80s rulebook on this website http://www.mulsannescorner.com/. Scroll to the very bottom and look for "1981 IMSA GTP chassis rules". It looks like the IMSA code/rulebook for that year for all classes including GTU. I see links for the '86, '85, and '81 ones too. Quick summary of what I see:
- In 1981 the GTU limit was 2.5L - By 1985 the GTU limit had jumped to 3.0L. I guess 2.8L was somewhere in between there. - The 914/6 was listed as an eligible car in all 4 years. I know it became ineligible in the late 80s, but that must have been after 1987. I've been looking for these too, so glad I finally found them! I believe the vintage organizations like HSR and SVRA more or less align their rules with IMSA rules with classes for different periods, and some allowances to encourage participation. It sounds like you've seen those rules already, but they're worth checking as well to make sure your car lines up well with one of their classes. Scott |
