I've been thinking, for awhile now, that it might be nice to have persistent classes for car judging at events. Something that would allow any 914 event to have instant organization for that part of their planning and allow a more broad comparison of cars from one event to the next.
For example, at the WCR we had the following classes: QUOTE Best 914/6 - This includes factory cars as well as conversion cars which use a Porsche flat 6 engine. The winner should be judged on the overall cleanliness and quality of their car. Any aftermarket/custom parts would be a detraction from cars in this category. Best 914/4 - This category is for cars equipped with a Type IV motor. The winner should be judged on the overall cleanliness and quality of their car. Any aftermarket/custom parts would be a detraction from cars in this category. Best Conversion Car - This category is for cars equipped with any motor not already listed. The winner should be judged on the overall cleanliness and quality of their car. Any aftermarket/custom parts would be a detraction from cars in this category. Best Custom Car - This is where the wings, fancy wheels, and custom stitched interiors come into play. RatRod - The winner in this category has the... um... least aesthetics but still runs and drives. No shame in winning here. What I'm interested in first and foremost, is would you like to see the same categories from event to event, or are things fine the way they are? |

I've never done this so my views are that of a inexperienced newbie, but I would like to see:
1. CW/Pure Stock- 4s' & 6s' together & no favoring the six over the four because of the damned engine. Restos allowed, no separate preservation class. 2. Modified/Improved- a real six that has a bigger six in it, a real 4 w/ a bigger/better 4, SS exchangers, pertronix, power windows, etc... Again, sixs' & fours' together, no separation. VW/Porsche customs would fit into this category. 3. Conversion- any & all. Putting a bigger 4, or smaller, in a car that was a four is not a conversion. Any V8, V6, rotary, Subaru, 4 upgraded to a six, six downgraded to a 4, etc... are. This is the custom category. 4. GT/AX- whatever goes here, Can Am rule 5. WIP- work in progress, covers everyone in the above 4 groups. Gives guys a heads up as to what to expect at the next show/year. My .02.
