So how many 914's are going to be running the AutoX at Medford?

And is Britain going to give us a course diagram before the event?

I think it should be published on the Where2Race website for all of the World to see. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)

Well, I hope to have mine there but it really is one the beginning of the being built. Most of what I have to put on it won't even be at my house yet. So I will be AXing a mostly stock daily driver with a few minor mods done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hoping to get to take a few spins in some of the better preped cars though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Time to break out that passenger seat and see if it fits within the new cage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

I imagine they will use the outside loop. That is the most expedient & prolly the most fun. I'm looking forward to it.

Hey guys when is this event again? Date and time? What best time for spectator to show up?

My dad an original 914 ax guy from early 70s has expressed interest in going to the event to check things out. Any chance he can get a ride in a fast 914? He is a total gear head and has been into hot rods but still loves 914s. He lives in Grants Pass.

Cool! Thanks JP! His name is Don. He will probably show up in his new toy, a black Solstice.

I'm heading up Wednesday and the car is working good. Got to pound it today at the Marina, wet to start so spent most of the course sideway.

Told my dad to look for crazy fast yellow and silver 914 race cars. Have fun guys! I'm kicking myself for not having a 914 to play with right now, but I need to get this Z thing out of my system.

I'm up in Ashland now and if the weather unfolds like it did today then it will be cool when running the Autox. The PM will be likely be sunny.

That track was great!

Brit and Randal were close all day, i think Randal might have been faster during the enduro while Brit got ahead during the AX portion.

Gary Chapman was a close 3rd and i was trying to keep up with him.

Unfortunately, i can't get all my power on the pavement. I got wheelspin coming out of pretty much every corner.

I see a LSD in my future ...

Glad to hear all of Randal's hard work and $$$ is finally paying off.
Will be interesting to see the actual results....and nice to hear that Gary is giving them hell in his street car...I am sure his fresh tires and Limited slip help a lot...
You just need a bigger budget Andy....and more track time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Talked to my Dad and he and his wife enjoyed watching 914s today. He said Randal broke tranny mount and didn't run while he was watching but he had a nice talk with him. He said clean red 914 6 was ripping around the corners. that must have been Gary! And what made me laugh is he said the Yellow 914 was really slow in the turns but was really fast in the straights! Lol!

Now he is talking about joining local club and autocrossing his new Solstice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

The Soltice is pretty amazing for what it is. It does well in the class SCCA has it in. When they first came out I only liked them a little but after driving a few I really like them.

So what were the final results (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'm not sure about the results ever being printed & posted.....but...
Brit took the AX section of the event over Randal by a tenth.

Randal took the enduro section by a bunch of seconds....not sure who took 2nd.
