We have people on the board that road-race their 914s in F-Production and E-Production, but does anyone race their car in G-Production (on the board or know of someone that does)? A quick glance through the rulebook makes me curious about a few things with the 914 in that class:
1. How fast are the G-Production cars compared to ITA, ITS, and F-Productions cars? 2. How can you modify the 914 engine for this class and still use the "original type fuel-injection only" (from page 272 of the 2006 GCR)? Obviously, 10.5 to 1 compression pistons and a 0.420" lift cam would cause the stock F.I. system to go nuts. So what "original type" can be substituted? 3. What type of reliability can you get from a 10.5 to 1 compression type 4? 4. Is the 914 competitive in G-Production? 5. Is the popularity of the Production Category cars waning across the U.S., or are there just few of them around where go to amateur races (Road Atlanta, Barber Motorsports Park, St. Louis)? 6. Would racing a 914 in G-Production be any cheaper than running a 914 in F-Production? I am looking at a 944S that has been built for the ITS Category this week. I would like to road race a 914, but ITB would be too slow for the money and time, and an F-Production car seems too expensive and time consuming. Would a G-Production car be a good fit? Thanks, Don |
