Appreciate the kudos Sean. The car certainly looks fast but needs some further development though as I took it down in a stockish 2400lb '75 911 on skinnier tires. Results can be found here http://www.pcaocr.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=96 . If you really want to know how fast it is, have Dave Palmquist drive it (though he does not have any mid-engined experience). I had him as my co-driver at this last event and I learned a lot from him. Hands down the best get in any car and pull off a blazing fast run of any driver I know personally, though Ken Motonishi is a close second. The best thing about Dave though is he is really really good at telling you what he is doing, what the car was doing, and why. It was truly an enlightening day.

Evans right. We are at the very beginning of a very steep learning curve. Thomas talks to Dave all the time and I'm sure he'd love to have Dave in the car. I'm for anything that will make them quicker.

Hi Dan!
I am sorry I said you were Jim! You are the young one! That alone and the GREEN 914-6 make me jealous beyond belief! I am never going to get over that you have that 914, and you get to drive Team NARP all in one lifetime! I can burn them all to a disc if someone gives me an address. The ones on the OCR site are way small. Warm regards, John |

Dave got that chopped up 914 by over a second in your old tired 911 street car? Whew! he must have been flying or that 914 needs major sorting! |

Well Dave was flying in my car. The 914 is far from slow but needs some sorting/chassis reinforcement to reach its full potential. I should add that my 911 isn't all that tired (it just looks it) and was on A6 Hoosiers so even though they were only 205s it does stick pretty good.
