There were no less than 6 914's at the VARA vintage races at Willow yesterday! Mostly -6's but at least one four. A healthy contingent of early 911's too.

Unfortunately all of my camera batteries were dead (doh!) and I didn't feel like driving back to town so I shot most of these with the crappy still cam in my DV camcorder.

3-4 of the 914-6's were prepped by the same shop, Beck's Porsche Shop in Phoenix, and were unbelieveably detailed...and FAST. I met Frank Beck and several of the Pelican board racers; nice guys.

The frontrunners turn 1:32.5 - 1:35 lap times in these cars...with NO aero, 225/50 tires, and 2.0 or 2.5 engines. That is absolutely flying!

The baby blue car is owned/driven by a woman (Edie Arrowsmith). It was just built from the ground up, no expense spared. 2.5 full race motor, prototype 3-2-1 exhaust, the works. Unbelievably clean car.

If I had a working camera I could've taking hundreds of pics, there were so many neat vintage machines. The Lola and Chevron Can-Am cars are some of my favs.

And the prototype race exhaust (shot from 150ft away, LOL). Somebody said this thing picked up substantial HP over megaphones. That cubic money thing applies here...

I'm hoping to drive with either VARA and/or HSR West in the near future. It looks like they have rules that are "friendly" to 914's (unlike POC), and friendly people too.

I was motivated by seeing these sweet sixes and came home and started tearing more stuff off my car.

Decision time...whether to keep it "street legal" (cough cough) anymore, or take the plunge to trailer-only territory. It is very marginally streetable right now but still has lights, horns, wipers and (glass) windows.

I think it's a testament to the Rennshifter that it is on the "No Expenses Spared" car and there is a Fabcar 935 shifter in one of the others. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
