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) |

not to be argumentative here, I see your point, but I also understand where Mike is coming from. Let me tell you the rest of the conversation I had with Jack: So after he finished with his "get all that crap off your car" and "we don't want shit like that around here" (referring to Papa Smurf), I said "OK, so you want it to look like that" - and I pointed to Huey. He said "even that I should have put you into Group 10". I asked why? He said "that's not what a 914 should look like. Walk around the paddock and see what they should be like, then just go buy one like that and quit trying to make it something its not" When I replied saying "yes, that IS what a 914/6 GT looked like and what they all look like here. I understand the engine is wrong, but that's why I'm coming to you and asking what I should do to make it legal", he said "get out of here and don't come back until you have a legal car. Just go buy one that has a log book and be done with it, why is this so hard for you to understand?"!!! As Glenn can obviously attest to above, and as Mike has mentioned, the problem is that some of the Tech guys don't know what they're looking at, especially when it comes to 914's. Understandable, there are A LOT of cars to know through the years. But, if you can show that your car meets the regulations, why is there an argument? Glenn's car DID run in that configuration back then and he was harassed. I'm sure many tech directors would have issues with the car that started this thread, but there's proof that it DID run in IMSA...Jack would probably reject it... and oh, btw...I've heard a lot about Frank Beck's car...which is FAR from legal. But..it looks the part and he's a regular so it gets rubber stamped. |

Frank Beck's car...which is FAR from legal. But..it looks the part and he's a regular so it gets rubber stamped. That is a totally FALSE statement! I have looked over the suspension and brakes on Frank's 914 and it humbles me as a driver to see how much he can do with so little. |
