Folks I could use you help.
I have been lobbying to our local Vintage sanctioning bodies in the Pacific NW (SOVREN and VRCBC) to allow 914's to run in thier events, and have evan recently completed SOVRENS race school only to discover that this club is more about collecting historically documented and/or acurate reproduction race cars, than acutally racing them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Apparently this is a debate that has been fought long befor I came on the scene, one of arguments being that if you let 914s run then you have to let 240Z cars run and there goes the neighborhood! (pass the grey poupon please!!) Anyway, N. of the border (BC CAN) they seem a lot less uptight and said yes they wouldnt ask to many questions (or look to closely) If my car was prepared to circa 1970 trim (that being the cut off for Vintage status) sort of "dont tell, we wont ask" approach. So what was accurate for 70? From an as raced standpoint, the only documented heritage I can find is the 914/6GT & LeMans? The only four that was available was a 1.7 Tailshifter, correct? My tub is a 74 so to make it appear as close to a 70 model as possible I know need to change bumbers, the interior is gutted so that not an concern. What about wheels? The color is white, was that offered in 70? You get the Idea |

I appreciate your reply.
I just wanted to hear from an actual person that this was the case out there. The problem is the same here. Locally we are allowed to run blue streak vintage tires, and I'm hesitant to go onto an H rated street tire and run in the same run group with mustangs and corvettes on much faster rubber. (I'm afraid that the speed differences will be a danger). If everyone has the same tire then it will be fine, but I'm afraid that as long as there are tires available for the big bore cars, then a solution will not be a priority. Also, I think the porsche people locally are the squeeky wheels and this has become an annoyance to the management. Personally, I'd like to go to the 50 series tires and be done with the whole tire debate.. but we'll see what happens. thanks again for your time brant |
