All were sixes except the silver #29 spyder. The class decals on the bumpers tell you what kind of power the car has....more or less. No weight, tire or engine rules (does have to be a Porsche however). VO= Vintage, over 2.5L, VU= up to 2.5L, VU4=vintage 4 cylinder. That's it. Nothing more or less for rules classification. Oh yea, has to be an air-cooled Porsche. Not all cars were present for the official photo shoot.  |

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? |

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. |

I emailed with Vicki Ernshaw - PCA Club Race Chair - and she said it's up to the region hosting the race if they want to have a full run group for Vintage. Personally, based on the success of the first trial, I think a lot of the smaller races would love to include this. For us here in the Southeast, it might be a catalyst to resurrect CMP or Roebling Road races.... So if there is a race you want to see it in, I would suggest you reach out to the race chair and request it. (I know I'm going to get in trouble for suggesting that, but oh well...wouldn't be the first time!!) |

Now Bob...why would you even want to pick on those AC cars? Finishing 1st in a class of 1 is meaningless...

The #3 914 was turning 1:23s at Summit Point...not too shabby at all. That was good enough for 3rd place in the sprint with the full compliment of the vintage cars. The fastest time was a 1:19, followed by a 1:21 for 2nd place. This is the vintage class!!
In comparison, fastest time for the event was around a 1:12 by either a GT3R or a 997 RSR.... not sure which car Corey was driving since I didn't see the race or Corey all weekend. |

Bob,
Trevor showed me the Dyno numbers, the new engine is sweet. I hope your really rusty and I can pull out a few tricks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). Should be a fun year if they pick up more vintage races. It was a hoot at summit. My plan is to run Watkins glen, NJMP, and Summit, maybe more if the budget holds up. I have been spending money running with friends in the American Endurance Series. Two weeks ago in 8 1/2 hour race I ran 3 hours and 45 minutes hard to beat the seat time for the price. You coming north for any races in 2017? Steve |
