914 stories Options

[Ace Le Count]

Does anyone have some crazy 914 stories that they'd like to share? Maybe your son/daughter was born in one? Maybe you drag raced someone that was getting cocky because they thought their riced out civic was faster? Maybe you used a 914 as a getaway car after you robbed a bank? How has your 914 saved the day?

[RARE 6]

In less enlightened times, Spring of 1972, walked up to the registration table at the old Phoenix International Raceway for our first PCA DE event. Told the folks behind the table I wanted to register both of us in the 914-6 we'd bought brand new on 9/14/71.
"Your going to let your wife drive your car?" an alarmed male registrar asked.
"Hard to keep her out of it, " I replied. "She's making half the payment and drives it to work everyday."
A few years later she became the first female instructor for Rocky Mountain PCA. A few years after that, everyone in the pits at Woody Creek was cheering as she pulled in after finally beating my time.
The three of us are growing old together. The -6 may be in the best shape of the group.
