Hey Guys,
There have been some questions asked about substitution of Nickies in place of factory cylinders, both cast iron and mahle nikasils, and I'm just curious how sticktly the rules are read into- is it just that the cylinders must be to the specifications of the factory pieces (since JE's are already used in E and F prod) or do the actual factory pieces have to be retained? Can it be argued that if other aftermarket cylinders are used (Chinese, Brazilian, Mexican), can't Nickies also be used, since it isn't actually factory cylinders being used- just cylinders made to resemble and to the specifications of the original pieces? I appreciate the input guys, it would be nice to have a definative answer on this one for numerous guys out there with Nickies and those considering Nickies for their 911 or 914. |

I've thought about this some more and I think you may be right Brett. Not only that it is probably someone I do know already. The SCCA 914 racing community isn't that big after all. A conversation with a friend yesterday indicates it may be the same person who has been (occasionally) giving me shit ever since I started racing Nationals. If it is him he ought to be ashamed of himself for such behavior. He has held a variety of positions of authority in the SCCA over the years and such underhanded tactics are clearly a violation of the ethics of club racing. |
