Someone, some where along the line decided the 914 community didn't need an AX competition of their own. Consequently the event was dumbed down to "mid engine"
to include others....I seem to recall one individual that was pushing Boxsters as the next great white dope.
Maybe it was in response to the lack of Ca. attendance when the *914 Shoot Out*
was held outside of the PRC/GGR AX center of he world.....dunno. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Too bad, it was fun while it lasted.

I was the one that came up with the idea for the first Shootout. You guys had yours last year.
I decided this year to add a little spice to the mix and invite other midengined Porsches to the mix.
Sorry that doesn't sit well with you JP. You are more than welcome to come down and drive Mr.2 if you like.
Depending on how this works out, we may just go back to 914 centric event for next year or the year after.

Don't mind me, Dan. I'm still going thru AX withdrawls. Mr.2 is semi broke and has retired....maybe permanently....but I wouldn't come anyhow....no excuses, just don't have the urge.

no issues here JP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

what is up with MR2?

I know how you feel. I had that going on quite a bit last year...just could not get motivated...
Building this new car has gotten me a bit more interested in driving competitively again.

Careful or we will send Leeds Gulick down with his scary fast 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Say hi to Eric from all his PNW friends .....careful he`ll talk your ear off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)



Threatening with sending Leeds isn't saying much. He has a car that could easily be TTOD but he isn't driving well. Leeds sucked this weekend and has for much of the year. His car really needs Greg behind the wheel to live up to its reputation of the National winning 914 in FP and that was over 6 or 7 years ago.

there will be plenty of folks in attendance...lots of norcal and GGR folks sign up the last 10 days or so, it will pick up in the next week. Plan on there being at least 80 or more people, and of those at least 50% will be midengine cars...

I see John S and Eric F have formally signed up in 914's. I personally know of more than 15 914 guys and 3 fast Boxster/Caymans capable of being top car of day that are going. I wouldnt look at formal registration at this point as indication of attendance. I see a couple SO Cal people coming up as well. I would suspect we will have well over 20 914's and I know we will have well over 25 Boxsters and Caymans.

I can assure anyone who hasnt driven a GGR event at Alameda that these are by far some of the best events of the year anywhere. Venue is unsurpassed, views of San Francisco are incredible (see pic) and competition mid season in summer is very good. We will see top drivers from all over California. We already have a few SCCA guys that have never driven with GGR planning to drag 914's and Boxsters to the event.

I think we will see very fast day. Andrew B the fastest 914 guy around in one of the fastest 914's is designing the course for the event!

My car is nowhere near being completed, but I wanna come see the action. Which day is better for checking out the rides and drivers, Saturday or Sunday? I'd do both, but that will dig big time into my wrenching time...

Historically for our two day AX events, Saturday has the biggest turn out and the best competition....
Sunday will probably be good this year since the Alameda site is more or less central for GGR and surrounding regions.

Most of the reason I don't like these sections of sites is it is mostly all talk and no proof. I tend to stay away from that as I like to let my time speak for itself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . I'd rather BS with everyone in the garage.

I noticed. Looks like a decent site but I can't do more than one site anymore. Just takes too much time away from work. I'm on there to see if I can find a ride but we do have a local AX that weekend if I don't find anything.

It would be fun to come play in the 914 pool. The 911s are fun but 914s are much more fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

He never claims to drive fast though. Just his car...which isn't his anymore.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) I miss my 914
