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) |

It probably wasn’t a bad decision removing the 914 as it was 11 years out of production and not really setting the GTU class on fire like the Mazda’s and Nissan’s . IMSA and FIA were co-sanctioning bodies for 24 hrs of Daytona and 12 hrs of Sebring up until the early ‘80s maybe they were trying to achieve some parity for shared events.
Ray Hendricks built a Mid-engine 911 that he raced in IMSA after my 914, he pulled the 3.0L RSR motor and 916 gear box out of my car to make it. Needless to say it is pretty cool. |
