Racing a 914 in SCCA, Can it be competitive? Options

[Stutgart46]

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.

An old sayng "the best way to make a small fortune racin' is to start with a large one"
Chris hit the nail on the head ....running against 100K cars. Them guys are serious and have big money and reputations to protect. They'll do it any way they can....money, rules.....whatever. You can go be a field filler and be welcome, but you're gonna need a shitload of money, desire, & talent to get up up on the poduim.

SCCA solo is similar, but different....for 914 guys. I'm also the only 914 guy that regularly runs in. There's a trend here. Any of you CA hot dogs run SCCA? I've had many folks comment " it been a long time since we've seen a 914 *like that* around here". (Got the same comment at my only DE, also.)
There is one big buck 914 that is competitive on a national level, so it can be done.

It seems to me that the interest in 914s is generally picking up. MAybe someone with more money than good sense will come along & put the 914 up towards the front of the pack.
