PCA Autocross class for my car?, 914 with Chevy 305 and cage? Options

[dlee1967]

I've decided to get back to a few track events with my 914 and wonder if anyone else with a V8 914 has been running PCA events? First Autocross is mid March with a DE in April.

A few specs: 305 Chevy V8, 901 with altered gears and Quaife, Bus axles, full cage with Petty bar, 930 front brakes, 23mm master and DOT stainless lines, 914-6 rear brakes, 200 lb rear springs, front stock sway bar, Corbeau Forza front seats and matching 5 point harnesses, 16x6 fuchs with steel lug nuts and DOT race tires. Car is still inspected, insured and regularly driven on the street. Bodywork is not altered apart from front air dam and stock appearing front a rear fiberglass bumpers.

PCA guys, what do you think? David Lee in Houston, TX

The feedback that I've received from the local PCA is that DEs are no problem, we let any car that passes the safety inspection run (Ferrari, Mini, Lotus, etc). The autocrosses are run jointly with the BMWCCA and there are classes for BMWs, Porsches and then there are the "others". It looks like I would run in the fastest "prepared" catagory for autocross cars. (not the same as SCCA prepared) A local 914 owner with a Mazda rotary transplant and significantly lightened shell runs that X4 class, so I shouldn't be sent home. Thanks for the responses...DLee
