In the course of doing some research about another car, I ran across a 914 racecar for sale that I've known for many years. It's a tube frame car, and was run with a twin turbo 911 motor. In it's later years it had a factory 962 engine! I don't have any connection to the seller, but thought I'd mention it here since it's a cool car ... In fact there's a picture of the car in the track car section here on 914world - it's post #17 on the first page. Below are a couple pics from the current owner, Jacque Rivard. http://www.rivardcompetition.com/en/index.php

I've seen that car turn some seriously fast laps at the Glen with the 962 motor. I timed it at a 2:05 on an out lap - it probably ran sub 2 minutes!

Yes, Nick was very fast indeed in that car. Amazing with 700-800 hp will do for your lap times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Carr914 - It would be entertaining to see a video of the car if you have it in some uploadable format ...

Not many 911s are faster than that 914.
Thanks for putting up the video. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The rabbit ears on my roll hoop were finally declared illegal at AX by SCCA. Dunno about road race, but if you wanna buy you'd better find out.

Thanks carr914 for posting that video. Interesting that the camera car (a 911 I assume) easily passed the 914 turbo, given that the 914 had a factory 962 motor! I recall a fast club racer named Schrom who drove a 911 turbo around that time. Maybe it was him ...

2:01 at WGI is a damn fast time. In that vein, I'm going to tout another 914 driver named Keith Peare, who did a 2:00 flat at WGI in a 914 with a normally asp. 2.8L motor in the early 2000's. I remember almost falling off my chair when I read that he'd managed to do that.

My Godfather was Competition Director at Watkins Glen, - I wish I had timed the laps around in his Shelby Mustang - it's why I'm hooked on racing.

Unfortunately one of my personal experiences at the Glen didn't end well

What year was that?
