We're hashing out next year's format. One of the items under discussion is a driving event of some type.
We have 2 venues that we can rent for a Track Day (DE) and we are looking for Autocross venues. DE will probably cost each driver $150 or so Track choice will probably not raise the entrant's price much if any. One is cheaper, but the other is popular so we could fill it by allowing non 914s to run. There will be a lot of seat time available. Possibly 2 hours + for 1 day at the track. The track will sell us insurance (not for your car). This would most likely be the Friday event. Autocross will probably cost each driver $30 - $50. A lot of that will depend on the venue and insurance costs. I would expect a 914 only A/X to allow us to get 5-10 runs each, depending on when it fits into the schedule. If you are one of the people contemplating attending next year what do you think? If you aren't thinking about coming please don't respond (sorry) this thread will help shape the schedule. Thanks!

Columbus SCCA
Maybe we could work something out with the Columbus SCCA group??? I contacted this group prior to this years event. Their season ended the weekend before our event so I did not pursue it any further for 2004. I went to one of their events a while back. Went to look at a 73 914 for sale - really sweet car but too much $$$. Anyway, spent a couple of hours there watching and even got a ride in the 914 for one run. It was a great time watching and riding. Driving in the event would be a total blast! One BIG concern that I had is that the cars/tires picked up a tremendous amount of pebbles and it sounded like the cars took quite a bit of abuse from the stones. Is this stone throwing thing common/expected? I would love to participate in an autocross but not just yet if my paint is going to have to withstand some rock throwing. Maybe they have access to a more friendly track? I'm willing to contact them to get more details if we want to pursue this. |
