I took the 914 to the PCA autocross on Sunday, thinking there won't be another one, so I will win my class. Of course this was my thinking last time, I brought the 356, and another one of those showed up, and beat me. So once again my plans for class dominance were foiled, another 914 showed up, and beat me. Ironically, had I brought the 356 I would have won my class, oh the irony!
Either way, three things in life I have found are pretty good even when they aren't, Pizza, Autocrossing, and the bedroom, never really had a bad example of any of the three, even when it's bad, it's still pretty good, all things considered. I drove the 914 hard and it did really well on the tight turns, way out performing the 911's and Cayman's, the skinny worked. Had I had more experience I could have probably gave them a run for their money, but I was too busy going off course and eating cones, but having a blast! Drive em like you stole them!!!!

QUOTE I thought about bringing the Benzo, but it might be too big for a tight track. A 95-00 W202 Mercedes C class is hardly a large car. And, if those wheels came on the car when new ( RE the rest of the stuff is there ) , it should have some zip. . . . One of the local national Porsche clubs will let anything run regardless of membership, you are just lumped in a X class. QUOTE Some lady kept calling it a "washing machine". I didn't point out my Maytag was doing better times than her CaymanR.... QUOTE So while they were all talking about their $400 suspension bushings, I was up on two wheels! But people like this are the ones that pay your bills so I would not be too willing to let it be known you are poking fun at them. QUOTE The real freedom in driving a car you have no money in is you can go balls out. ?? I don't build race cars just to circulate around the track. If one isn't willing to accept that the car can be written off in the first corner of the first lap of it's first race, it should stay in the shop. |
