The instructor told my son "Get on it, Get on it!", advice he was only so happy to take.

Thanks to Mike, Jeff and Andy for the caravan. Thanks to Loma Prieta PCA for a great event. Thanks to Rob the instructor for telling my kid to GET ON IT (the repair bill is in the mail). And thanks to 914 club people for getting us interested in this great venue. The car broke down in Milpitas on the way back. I checked fuel, yes. I checked spark between the points, no. Condensor I thought. Since I did not have a spare, I got on the phone to AAA for a tow. While I am on hold, I hear the car fire up and there is my kid in the drivers seat with a shit eatin grin. Jiggled some wire or something. Dumb luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) !

whooo, glad you guys made it home.

i always check the obvious nuts and bolts and wires after an AX.
things like the allen screw that holds the shift linkage together, etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

glad you guys had fun!

Thanks guys! It was great fun.

As a newbie autocrosser about 4 years ago, I saw tons of 914s running (pre Boxsters at AXs). Man- I loved it. It was just the presence of so many 914s that made me come back. I used to work track just to see the cars fly by.

Today reminded me of those days- seeing all the 914s run one after another. My first love in cars will always be the 914. Seeing newer drivers discover their cars; seeing 914s with new motors, mods and setups; it reminds me of the things I went through learning how to drive, and how to sort out my car (neither ever ends).

Having Brad hanging around is huge- that boy knows his stuff and is willing to share what he knows to make you better.

The biggest reason I stay involved is getting to know great people, and being around really great people.

Thanks again everybody and thanks for all the sacrifices you made (some really made sacrifices)- staying up til 2:30am to get a car ready, driving 140 miles each way to get there, caravaning at 5AM, showing up early to help - you guys are the greatest - and I'm honored to be a part of it.

See you folks at the WCC!
