Steve Nieslony posts Corvette destroying time to come within .5 seconds of TTOD. It took a National Champion Car and Driver with 2.5 times the displacement and 2 times the cylinders to manage that .5 second gap.
Other 914's at the event included John Webster in his very tasty six conversion that was made from a totalled 914 six. Martin "Sleepy" Baker in his daily driver 2.0 liter, EJ and Susan in their 914 racer, Joe Stien all the way from Bigfoot country, one other whose name escapes me (apology here). Mike Meuller showed up to see his first ever set of needle bearing suspension bushings perform on Joes car. Many other Porsche models were represented well. It was approaching 8pm before the 4th run group was in the bag. Even the Shifter Karts had trouble beating Steve. Only one did to break 1:00 minute and take TTOD. (I personally don't count karts) All in all the 914 was well represented and did very well. Thanks to all of you who travelled so far for this great cause and spent a great day in the sun....

Rob,
Thanks for the report and the pics. I was very surprised that I cleared as many vettes and veteran SCCA zoomy cars. I just remember the timing slip lady going 'Oh my God' when I ran the 101... it was funny and cute. You forgot to mention that Joy was there co-piloting the Pylon Assasin. She had a tougher time out there... going of course twice (due to braking to late after the chicane) and on her final run starting in 3rd. Her last run was a 109 with the poor start and going off course I estimate she could have been 106 or 105. She is learning, and has done a great job. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) She wanted a 5th run and make it clean - lol (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving-girl.gif) You did miss another 914 driver, Duane Dejung was out there... I don't recall his times but he also looked like he had a great time. Best of all - all of the money taken in (I would estrimate between 4 and 5000 dollars went to the Shriners for the care of children... and for that the organizers deserve a very big atta boy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Cheers!
