Running that fast on roads is no different than the great races of long ago.
Really a lot of fun to test your skill level with a 914 you have built yourself. Some of the sections are quite fast,but that doesn't frighten you. In the future,a Targa Newfoundland story to go with your 914-6 may enhance the value as a race veteran.  1938 Alfa Romeo 6C 2300B Mille Miglia Spyder |

The video above "2006 Stage 1-2 North Harbor" is me and Nadine in our 914/6 'Huey'. The event is like nothing you could ever do...it is SO much fun, so challenging, so amazing...
we ran 2006 and 2007...did not have a good 2007... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) More video's at www.naroescapemotorsports.com |

 Funny thing, When we spectate at sporting events it seems the expectation is to see disaster. Flames,spinning hulks,flying debris,you know,disaster. I think they made a tv series on the subject. How do you dunk a Ferrari?Race at the Targa Newfoundland. Yeah,sure looks the blast,also looks real scary at speed.Not the usual parking lot scramble. Those videos are terrific. I suppose the total number of 914s participating to date is less than 10. Glad to see some footage of 914 performance. May be a good way to test and market a product,with the in car videos and testimonials of enthusiastic drivers."shifts real good" When jotting down a bucket list where would you place the Targa Newfoundland.  |

The sound of the engine in full song is likely what influenced me in purchasing the 914 I have today. Thankyou. |
