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. |

Chris:
For those of us with 914s but unfamiliar with SCCA rules that make it difficult for you to be competitive, could you elaborate on the weight/power/suspension differences that seem to penalize the 914. Such as, at the runoffs, how much weight were you forced to carry, and what suspension mods did they forbid. thanks |
