Hi guys,
I just signing up for a vintage race group at Summit Point. This is this fist time PCA has tried to include older cars into a vintage group. Below are the details... It would be great to have a big 914 turnout. Fellow racers, Potomac Region has been granted permission to include a Vintage Group as part of our Silver Anniversary Club Race at Summit Point September 23-25, 2016. This is an opportunity to bring out the older racecars and put them on track without running with 400 HP cars beside (in front) of them. Everyone we ask thinks this is a grand idea. Here are some details: Place: Summit Point Motorsport Park Summit Point, WV Date: September 23-25, 2016 Setup September 22 starting at 6:00PM Eligibility: 1983 and older AIR COOLED Porsches. PCA Club Racing Rules will be enforced for Safety but not Classes. Of note here is that the rules now require full cages not just roll bars. The PCA Club Racing Rules are available here: https://www.pca.org/sites/default/files/att...ing%20Rules.pdf There will be only four classes. Four cylinder over and under 2.4L (V4O, V4U) and six cylinder over and under 2.4L (VO, VU). This means that a 914-6 with a 3.2L engine may run as well as say a 73 911 with a 3.6L engine. If you have built your car to fare better in the PCA DE Program for instance this event is for you. Vintage Group entrants will not run for PCA National Points. Accordingly, the normally required Data collection plug is waived. (See CR Rules) Membership in PCA is required. All drivers must have a PCA Competition License. (See CR Rules to see the Qualifications. It is simple to apply) The September race can be your first event on the new license. New Licensees are advised to have their License paperwork in well in advance of the event. ALL licensing questions should be directed to Susan Shire at: PCAClubRace@aol.com All PCA Club Race events register through: www.clubregistration.net. Registration opens six weeks before the event. Our three-day event has Practice and Practice starts and a short race on Friday. Qualifying and two Sprint races (30 min. each ) on Saturday. And one Sprint race and an Enduro on Sunday. Fine meals are included two nights with an awards presentation Saturday evening. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions at: clubrace@pcapotomac.org. or fpfeiffer@atlanticbb.net.

Have a great time. One nice benefit of driving a 914 at SP is that you have plenty of time to avoid the deer... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I can't make this one, but I will definitely plan to do some PCA vintage races if the idea catches on.

Not sure if this is a one off or not. Potomac region kicked off (nationally) PCA club racing 25 years ago. They are certainly trying to get a lot of the folks who stepped away to come back. Safety issues (and age) might prevent some.
Then again, it would be neat to see the "old cars" out there more! |

I believe the actual very first PCA club race in the nation was held in Colorado I was there |

CVAR has an event at MSR Houston next weekend. In E Prod., the first 6 six cars registered in E Prod. were 914's.
http://www.dlbracing.com/clubs/clubdrivers...mp;EventID=6107 is the link to look. I hope it will allow access. There are a couple of C Prod teeners, one FIA monster teener and another that may attend. We might make a dozen!!! Rules are 1972 GCR's with a few "adjustments." If you are in the area, come on!! |

I plan on being at MSR on Saturday. No race car this time, just watching. I want to see how my car will fit in with CVAR.
I'll be in a Forest Green Cayman S. Hopefully I'll see you there. |

I would say the vintage group was a success. 20 cars showed up and the 914's were represented well. A few drivers are frequent posters here. This was my fist time at Summit Point I was impressed by the track, and the event was run great. We got 3rd in the first race and then won the next three races. I heard that they are going to expand the number of races for 2017.
Would be great to see more 914's in the field Steve Attached thumbnail(s) |

My Cayman is my street car. I am building another 914/6GT replica race car for vintage racing. I've had a couple of Spec Boxsters in the past few years but I really miss the historic stuff. Unfortunately I didn't make it to MSR this weekend. Moving next weekend and I ended up packing. |

Sounds like a blast. I may keep the 914 in GT4 when I get the motor fixed, but I'd love to do vintage racing with my 911. Maybe next year ...

This is the only decent video I have of the PCA Club Race vintage group. Last race on Sunday for the group. Camera was not behaving nicely and would stop recording whenever it felt like it. This was a really good event, not because it was the first PCA Club Race with a vintage class, but because of the people, cars, food etc. We'll do more vintage in PCA Club Racing I'm told.
