A friend and I took my 356 out in a rainy mountain rally on Saturday. We finished safely and had a blast, but a mechanical delayed us by 50 minutes and killed any chances of a respectable placing. It was a Monte Carlo Style rally hosted by ITN, who does an excellent job on reasonably-priced, well-planned, and well-staffed events.
That got me wondering: does anyone here take their 914 on rallying? Photo of the 356, snapped during pee-break, on old Route 66 NE of Ontario under ominous clouds before the ominous mountains that we were soon to know in rainy detail.  |

I would love to do the California Mille, Copperstate 1000 or Colorado Grand. Maybe one day they might accept a 914-4!

QUOTE(halmil @ May 2 2016, 02:49 PM)  I would love to do the California Mille, Copperstate 1000 or Colorado Grand. Maybe one day they might accept a 914-4! Those are really expensive, but would be a ton of fun. Local Monte Carlo Style (as well as time-speed-distance) rallies are much less expensive. ITN charged just $25 per car for Saturday's rally, which went through 11 in-markers over 5 hours with great support. There were even trophies for winners in each class. Unfortunately, we sucked. No trophy here. All cars were welcome and, besides a super-quick, red '87 528 BMW that had been tuned, all cars were modern. I've been doing these for years and have never seen a 914 participate. When mine is back on the road, I plan to use it. I was just wondering whether anyone out there is already doing these and, if so, where? |
