I wished I could come down for the WCC. Wanted to & was planing on it but the dates conflict with the Island vacation we do every year.

But I do luv AX. Most fun thing I've done.... EVER! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif)

The only one I ever did was in a Mazda at the Rev it up event. So I put once. Never in a 914 yet. Not even sure if I should in my Chalon. I am installing front and rear sway bars and stiffening the chassis and control arms. But with the extra weight, I heard its not that great. Has anyone done it?

Hell, I have a blast AXing in my 3000 lb 914, and I don't have any chassis stiffeners.
I'll do something about that when I start to see cracks. Brad keeps asking me if it's broken yet, what up wit dat? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I say don't worry about weight. Just have fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)

OK, so we have a few newbies... that's fine. It'll be a short course and between two run groups, we'll be OK.

Bill, we'd love to have volunteers. Would you really be available for setup, etc. Are you running the GGR event that day?

Yes there are loaner helmets available. Its best to bring one (Snell 90 or later) if you can.

THanks, R

Hi Rob,

Doris and I can help setup, instruct, tech, water the plants, do the dishes, etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I don't see how we could run both GGR and WCC even if they are side by side. So....it's WCC!

For those that don't know, GGR uses your top 6 out of 8 or 6 out of 9 placings to rank your overall class at year end...you don't need to go to all events to place in the standings....

Go WCC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

My son and I will volunteer for any field work or course setup or whatever. This will be our 2nd time out. I am trying to convince the wife that we need a second set of cookies and donuts for the course.

I've been (SCCA)autocrossing since 1978, 10 to 15 events a year. Been autocrossing a 914 since 1995. Not going to WCC, not sure at this moment exactly what WCC is actually. Done instructing at my local region level as well. Be glad to assist anyone in a 914 (or not) at any event I get to.

Your welcome....

If I leave for more than a day everything goes to hell in a hand basket! I'm still trying to catch up from my dad being in the hospital for 10 days....

Events cost me so much time in preparation that the week before is wasted, and so is the week after...

PLUS I have to act all professional and stuff, I ain't very good at that! just makin power!

Jake, maybe you should show up here in the fall for the Fall Foliage Classic. It's not that far from home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I cannot go anywhere until this 3 liter has my heads on it and makes 250 BHP on pump gas!

Its driving me nuts! Been trying to get the right cam for 4 weeks.. Finmally decided on 10:1 CR to really show the power differences between the heads I will be trading out on it during the test work.

I'm pretty much out of the loop this year for events, maybe next year I'll be stable enough and have the plate cleaned off a little bit more.
