I was just looking over my copy of this months "Sports Car" magazine (SCCA's monthly mag). I have noticed that there seem to be no 914's running at the top of any class. Why is this? Are the rules written in such a way that the 914 is just can't be competitive? I understand that at the Runoffs these guys have poured buckets of money into whatever they're driving. But why hasn't anybody poured a ton of money into a 914 for SCCA? I have seen several in HSR and PCA that always competitive and they usually finish on the podium.
Oh well, jus thought I'd ask. |

I fondly remember the old days in late 60's before Solo II ruined all my fun with my Bugeye in HP. After the Army in 1970 I also had a wife, so no racing interest since then. I retired last year and now that I have a 914 "sport type" car rather than an F 350 Powerstroke CC dually I may check out the SCCA scene again for old times sake!
