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.

Losing my mind... Group: Members Posts: 2,476 Joined: 26-May 06 From: Charlotte, NC Member No.: 6,073 Region Association: South East States |
So question about the vintage class rules...VO is ANYTHING over 2.5? Like a '74 914 with a 3.2? I run GT4 in PCA with Papa Smurf....that legal?
And where are the class rules posted? |

So question about the vintage class rules...VO is ANYTHING over 2.5? Like a '74 914 with a 3.2? I run GT4 in PCA with Papa Smurf....that legal? And where are the class rules posted? So..uh..yea. A 3.2 in a 914 is VO..and yes, it's "legal" as well as any aircooled Porsche powerplant. That's the beauty of this class..at least I think it's the beauty. In the photo I uploaded in the previous post, the #59 914 has a 3.2, #3 a 2.9 and #18 a 2.7, I think. I received the class rules in an email from PCA. Since this was the very first attempt at a vintage class, I did not see the rules posted anywhere. I think PCA wanted to see how things went to determine if there was any interest. i think they were please as we heard there should be some other races next year with a vintage class. I would imagine, continuing with the class, rules should be officially posted for next season. Just a guess. |
