Do you have pictures and build out of your car?
Some organizations have you fill out a specification sheet to figure out which class you belong in. |

Does the engine have a 66mm crank, if not that could be a problem.
70.4mm crank is not acceptable to some. |

just reviewed the SVRA rules. I'm guessing I'll be group 10... Possibly 12. I won't run with them much but would like to do the COTA race. that's a great track... great event. I'm able to get into group 8.... its still pretty dam fast... I get blown away with my mild 2.0 twin plug There are quite a few IMSA spec 2.5 cars running group 6 you might be placed there. but Frank Beck is in group 6 with a 914/6. so no offense... you won't win any trophies against Frank. He is an amazing driver with an equally amazing car. rumors on that car are: 1600lbs, with 296hp at the wheels... from a twin plug 2.5 there is a reason he can out race modern 911 gt3's SVRA is very strict about tires. they will not only check your tires at tech they will check on grid every single session I argued with them over hoosiers...... they told me to not even tow down if I didn't buy toyo's before the event |

I was amazed at how quick his car was both around the track and on the straights! |

Do you have pictures and build out of your car? Some organizations have you fill out a specification sheet to figure out which class you belong in. I thnik the major problems I will have are the 930 brakes, what some might call a semi-tube frame and probably a few other details. ...not sure about the crank fire but I do have a proper marelli twin plug distributor on the shelf that I suppose I could install. The photos of the car in Green are older but all that I have on this lap top...same setup though. This GT has I think what are called nurburgring flares so I've got some extra room out back. ...I've been running 16x10s on all four corners but the pic shown here is the 15" fuchs/minilite setup. |

Glenn,
I hope you are well Sir! I can assure you, some of our "Historic" events have the old muscle cars doing anything but "parking in the corners". A muscle car at the limit is a scary thing to witness; a 914, not so much. Amazing little cars our teeners are...sorry to disagree with your assessment but it just has not universally been my experience and observation. T |

T Tony, I am good and I hope you are doing well. still have not gotten to FL but I will definitely visit on the way home. Perhaps I painted with too broad a brush SOME are parking in the corners and it ruins your momentum...frustrating! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Especially with mustangs It's happened to me many times... I'll give a point by in the straights for a corvette or mustang but often don't receive the same courtesy in the corners. |
