I don't think Huey and Trekkor drive to events. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)


Huey gets driven to most of the local autocrosses - unless rain is in the forecast. Trailered to father away ones because we use A6 tires, which would be worn out (not to mention we always seem to get caught in the rain)

FULLY street legal - actually just did a wonderful weekend up on the Blue Ridge Parkway with a bunch of friends a couple weeks ago.

and an autocross video, less than 1 second from FTD to a GT3RS(I got overall 3rd from FTD, the two drivers of the RS got 1st & second). Fairly simple course set up, there were a lot of first timers...

Wish I had a taller 2nd gear....

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.


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Not a big fan... 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)

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...

I'm not a fan of this format either but it was open to someone to take it over and Shawn volunteered. When Shawn gets tired of it or too busy to run it anymore remember you can always be next. I ran it for awhile. It's not as easy as it looks. I had an all female owner one once that I think raised a few hairs IICC.

Once.....a long time ago....

I was a Cub scout leader.

It was the pinewood derby race and an argument ensued between two Dads about the legality of the cars and the rules.


I'll never forget one Dad burying his head with his hands......"....I just came to have fun and race the little cars."


I think the pictures are coooool.

Keep it up.
