Nominations closed. A separate thread will open with the poll. Thanks to all who contributed nominees, those who seconded and the great cars up for the contest.
The COTM contest this month will be a competition of 914s that have been driven/raced in Autocross, or Solo, events. Solo events are driving skill contests that emphasize the driver’s ability and the car’s handling characteristics. The COTM contest is open to those 914s that were driven to an autocross/solo racing event(s). The first five (5) cars nominated, and seconded will be competing. Contest will run until April 30th 2014. RULES for the Autocross COTM May-June 2014: 1. Nominees must state the name and location of at least one event in which the car competed (minimum 1, no maximum) 2. The car must have been driven to the event (i.e. had state tags/license plate) 3. Cars that were trailered, towed or otherwise not driven on public roads to the event are EXCLUDED. 4. Any engine, suspension, interior, wheel or tire setup is permitted (including stock, of course). To all autocrossers, cone dodgers, and anyone else who may have dragged a cone 200 yards stuck under the front of the car, the 914World is ready and waiting to see the cars, setups, and events across the country where your car may have oversteered into some driving excitement! Note: dedicated autocross builds not driven to events are of course welcome to compete in OPEN and TRACK COTM contests. |

I second this car because it's the 1st LE I've ever seen, EVER, nominated for COTM. I dislike these specialization COTM contests. It should just be 914s, period. Not track car specific, or six specific, or jack stands specific, or whatever. Be nice to see a car like Pats' car, a car that hasn't had massive work done to it because it didn't need it, get nominated once in a while. |

What's next? Rusty 914's? Oh wait, that would go back to the original concept wouldn't it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) I think the point of it is that you really can't compare a beautiful stock car with a pure race car or other purpose built cars. It's why there are different classes in car shows - stock, modified, race, etc, each car has pros and cons depending on what it's being judged against. How do you compare cars like mine (Huey and Papa Smurf) with a beautifully restored, perfect stock car? You can't. Here's my thoughts: we do only 1 specialty COTM each quarter, or each 6 months and limit it to 2 or three total categories, like pure race cars ones, autocross cars once, modified street cars once (major engine replacements, etc). Make most COTM be normal, with a few special ones thrown in. But hey, I've never won no matter what the criteria, so whatever happens, happens... |
