Great 914 day out at Alameda AX today. I know 914's were in many of the top placings and I think Steve blew everyone away - think I saw a 53 second time posted at one point? Great competition between Nathan and Demick in FM at one point they set the same exact time to the hundreth of a second on the same run! I think Demick took a class win with a clean 58 second something run. ...if Nathan hadnt of picked up a cone on his fastest run he would have taken FM with a low 58.
I spent the day learning how to drive my car. My Yoko's just didnt seem to like the surface when I got moving fast. I also have to admit that I have a hard time seeing the course at times. I guess that just comes with practice. I still managed a to set a 1:01. Nathan, thanks for the tip on taking the inside line on the circle. It definitely helped my exit speed. |

Damn the timing slip guy didnt tell me I got a cone on my fast 61 second run! Still got you on PAX Nathan. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) ...a shallow victory as I think PAX is bogus. Thats why I'm building a car that will give me consistent top 10 times. Still I did pretty well in my class AX11 I was only beat by a 996 turbo and a fast Boxster in my 85 hp 1.8! LOL! I still dont understand how a 1.8 with headers and mild/narrow r compounds on 5.5" wheels ends up with 996 turbo!!! On a good day I get 10 hp more than the stock 76 hp in my car with a header. 996 turbo is an awesome and powerful car that I doubt even the best driver could beat in a slightly modified 1.8.
I'm tempted to put coilovers and Falkens on my boxster to dominate the same class. Nathan and Demick you guys put the moves on that fast red 914-6 with huge slicks! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |
