Where is the interest? We havent had a 914 track day in California in a LONG time!!

I have 3 people on my side (dad, cousin, friend) that will join us. I honestly dont care about bringing 914 cars out there, just 914 people! If your 914 is down bring something else!

SirAndy, You got MONTHS to settle into your house and work on repairs.
RobW - Bring out Dads car!
RobS - You know your down!
Mike Bellis - Lets represent!
Elliot - Come on up!
Dave- Bring up the v8!

If you get called out call out someone else (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'd love to have a big party saturday night up there.

I'm in, not sure if the new engine will be broken in, but the drive to Willows will at least allow me to put more miles on it and get it closer to break in.

No better place to break in an engine than on the track! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

New engines should be driven hard to seal the rings, new clutches should not be abused.

Be sure if you do drive on the highway you vary your RPM's every few minutes and do some partial throttle pulls with load.

Yup, already had the "talk" from my mechanic on how to drive the car to seal the rings really nicely. I haven't talked about it, but this will be a really sweet set up once it's all together and in the car. So yes, track time and AX time are in my future, though I can't hit Stockton this weekend since I just had a minor procedure in my shoulder, so hard driving probably wouldn't be the smartest of ideas right now.

BUMP!

The event host is considering opening the registration early. I'll post as soon as I know when it will open but the rest of the events through the year are already sold out so everyone will need to jump on the registration!

If you on the fence let me know so I can send you a reminder!

Its this weekend already! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I just found my bilstein front struts are shots, going to attempt installing some Koni yellows on Saturday.

I also need to check if my Harness is ASM rated, it is a 5-point (website only specifically out rules 4 point) so maybe its OK?

Self inspection, You'll be JUST fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


I had the AC clutch bearing go out on the 944, so I have to temporarily remove the AC on Saturday. But everything went well on my Autox day so the car is running well. I'll probably put some non leaded race gas in at the track as some added knock protection.

Staying at Super 8 Saturday night, Likely have dinner someplace fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Is your car ready? You might be able to join Sunday. If anything you could ask to join after lunch, the track clears out then.

Well that was a blast... Cars today are so much faster I feel than last time I was on the track 5 years ago. In our class there were Focus RS's, GTR, plenty of newer 5.0 mustangs. I have some gopro video I will post later of being on the track.

Sorry I missed this .
I would really like to do T Hill West in the 914 ...


Not to hijack ...
I am very active in PCA (Diablo Region) ... Very 914 friendly
We have 4 track days scheduled next year.

You do NOT have to be a PCA member !

Our DE days are split into Beginner , Novice , Intermediate ,( Instructor, Pro, Advanced)
We use motorsprot reg for sign ups and IF you have seat time tracked and or have been OKed to solo you you can sign up for your appropriate run group. If not you will have and instructor.
Our days are FUN !!!
Intended to be an 80% or 8 / 10s day.
Passing by point by only and in designated sections (those change with run group levels)

5 20/25 min run groups
never more than 100 total participants ... so at max 25 per run group.

I am an instructor and on the DE team ... I could inquirer about a 914 only run group ... that may work ...

Friday March 23rd @ T.Hill (3 mile)
Friday May 11th @ Laguna Seca
Friday Sept 7th @ T.Hill (5 Mile)
Monday Nov 19th @ Laguna

As these open up I'll post them.

PCA Diablo

These events and MANY others ... check us out.
