I'm watching, too.
If it's the orange 914-6 hill climber, I'll be happy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) KT |

Isn't that orange car from Australia? I thought I saw a post he did a while ago about a hill climb Down Under. Or maybe he travels the world with his car in tow and drives in all these neato events.

Doug is correct.
I don't think we will see Howard R in Newfoundland anytime soon. |

I actually thought of running this.
They have two classes that use the same routes. The all out speed one and the other one that is "speed,time,distance" (?) which is supposed to be fun. It costs about $4k to enter and you still have to get your gear out there. If i get the bucket running well enough to pass an inspection look for me on Speed TV! Check it out.....

I have driven through that Province before. Seriously gorgeous scenery, friendly people with great accents. Unfortunately I had to drive it in a rental minivan. Shudder.
Love to see more 914s out there "my trout". |

I'd love to do the event and looked at it last year, but the cost of getting the car there was outrageous; about A$5K each if I got 2 other cars to go in a container and it would take 5 weeks for them to get there. Then add entry fee another A$5K and airfares from the other side of the world for 2, another A$6K (flying economy) and a bit of beer money, etc, etc, and the end result is about A$20K (US$16K), so I canned the idea.

You could hook up with a Canadian 914 and do it that way. Then you are looking at airfare, split entry fee and beer money. AND, because you are sharing the driving/navigating you can drink beer some of the time while you're on the road. Navigators get to drink don't they? That should be a rule. |

At these type events both crew get breath tested on the line before starting each day and must register 0.00 or they are out. so you have to be careful when recreating in the evening.

If you decided to get serious, then I can introduce you to a friend that has run in a previous event.

Of course. That is the way it should be. Maybe I needed to add a (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) to the previous post. |
