I want to learn how to race (more) responsibly., PCA, SCCA... ??? Where do I start? Options

[Dr. Roger]

So the car is getting done and now my next step is to learn how to race (more) responsibly. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

It looks like this involves joining a sanctioning body, figuring which class , I dont' know what else.

If you have a V8 914 and zero experience racing AX where would you start?

I'm near San Francisco, CA.

Thanks.

QUOTE Sometimes they do allow conversion cars at the auto-x, but don't get too bent if you fail tech or are denied since it's totally up to whoever is running it and the techs.... At GGR autocrosses tech hasn't been much more than checking the battery hold down and the front wheel bearings. Unfortunately with a hybrid 914 they aren't going to let you do the 2 day GGR autocross school which is the best $100 you can spend on you and your car. If you want to graduate to the track there are a bunch of organizations up here that are good. In particular I've heard good things about NCRC and Trackmasters. http://www.ncracing.org/ http://www.trackmasters-racing.com/

Not necessarily so Anthony:)


In the past GGR Zone School has allowed a 912 conversion with a 350 crate motor....2 or 3 years in a row.
The best thing to do is check directly with the person(s) running the event.
I have seen 914 V8 conversions run at the school in the past.

As far as DE goes...as I said before Coastal Driving School is put on by LPR/MBR regions of zone 7. All makes of cars are allowed to participate.
Corvettes, Ferraris, Subies, Bimmers.......everything. Even Porsches!

Instruction at the Coastal Driving School is done by and large by GGR Timetrial instructors. The best Porsche centric instructor corp in Northern California....Period. In fact GGR instructors are invited to instruct at many club events....Corvette club, Viper etc. Trackmasters, and others.

There is a place for your conversion and still within the Porsche fold.
