Don't these cars need to be owned by active members of 914world?

Don't these cars need to be owned by active members of 914world?


I believe that is true, that's why I didn't nominate the 914-6 driven by hotshot Tom O'Gorman at the 2013 Solo Nationals. Unfortunately, I don't know the owner or if he/she is a member here.

But if any car is deserving of TCOTM (track car of the month), it's this one, The 2013 NATIONAL F Prepared champion. O'Gorman figuratively bitch slaps all the naysayers that say a hopelessly outdated 40-year old car can never win a national championship.

Nominations for COTM November-December: Track Car Edition are closed.
The five nominated AND seconded cars are as follows:

1. chfrank (Chris Frank - nominated 07:48AM, 2nd 08:28AM)
2. Racer Chris (Chris Foley - nominated 06:45AM, 2nd 09:00AM)
3. naro914 (Bob's "Papa Smurf") (nominated 10:34AM, 2nd 11:22AM)
4. URY914 (nominated 11:18AM, 2nd 11:25AM)
5. brant (nominated 11:35AM, 2nd 12:36PM)

The Forum time stamp of when a nominee is 2nd'd is the impartial arbiter of the cars entering the contest. First five seconded are on the slate.

There were additional (and clearly competitive and worthy of the contest) cars nominated, including Randall's car, Tom O'Gorman's car and FourBlades IMSA racer. Should be considered for COTM Track Car 2014.

How about running a dual award: 4's compete against 4's, 6's against 6's
