The Club Racing Board has seen fit to restrict our engines as a result of the Runoffs win by Mark Hotchkis.
This season we get to use 34mm venturis instead of the 38s we had last year. It is time to gather our evidence and write letters to the CRB expressing our feelings that this is an unfair competition adjustment which will hurt all the regular FP 914 competitors. The Kirby/Finch car will probably never be raced again and the rest of us are being made to suffer as a result of the superior effort expended by an essentially professional racing program in an amateur sport. |

I think Joe is referring to Saurino in the Midget and Chima in the MGB, both of whom were quicker than the 914 in qualifying, but went off on lap 2. Chima retired and Saurino went on to finish 3rd, despite being relegated to last after his off. If Saurino didn't have to fight traffic for the rest of the race I'm confident he could have matched the pace of the 914. His best lap was his first full lap after getting back on track.
There is just no sense to this knee-jerk reaction. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) |
