News Flash! 914's Invade Midway, midway stadium, that is... Options

[ottox914]

Yesterday a group of 3 914's invaded Midway Statium in St Paul, MN.

"Official" times are pending, awating review due to some timing issues with the last run groups of the day, which would not affect the 914 results of the day. There were 120 cars running this day.

A chart topping drive was put in by our own Dave-O, whose Cstock 914 was the superior of all other Cstock cars, and bested the Bstock cars as well. There were not enough Bstockers, so they ran w/the C's. I believe Dave-O was in the low 38's or high 37's.

In DSP, I again had a hard time with the subie RS's. Even though they are not turbos, 165+ hp, Hoosiers, and all wheel drive make a potent package. My best of a 36.6 was not good enough, I was beaten by .2 for the CPT. (cheep plastic trophy). Still I was happy with this time, pretty good for a stock 2.0 (95 romping stomping schnitzel fed ponies) with some suspension mods and my first event on Hoosiers myself.

I faired better in Emod driving a borrowed car. The owner was none to happy that he was beaten, but took some solace that his car, an earth shattering 914-4, took FTD with a 34.3. And this was only the second outing for that car- we've got alot more speed to find there. The next fastest car was a 1900# Street Mod beast with a water intercooled supercharged motor, putting out around 250hp, driven by a husband and wife team who both have trophied at nats.

So all in all, a great day for 914's.
