Does anyone anywhere have an old photograph or grid list from any race anywhere from before 1982 showing a Chalon-bodied 914 racing with any group on any track? I'm trying to find some evidence to support eligibility to run mine in Vintage with RMVR. If I can prove that someone else raced one anywhere with any group, then I have a much better shot at having my car meet the RMVR eligibility requirements for 1981 and older cars. I've looked, but couldn't find anything. I also can't find any history of the Chalon body kits, specifically the years they were made. I thought they were produced starting in the late 70's and I've seen a date on some paperwork for a body that was being sold here on the World forum of 1984, and that body looked like a newer version of the one on my car. Any and all help appreciated.

I think you will be hard pressed.. why?
1) Porsche's 914 "GT" was the basis for many a lookalike racers. 2) Sanctioning body rules about available mods for particular race classes would not have included a body kit that made a 914 look more like a 911. Most allowable kits (ie, Sheridan) maintained a somewhat 914 shape about them. 3) Weight. The Chalon kit, iirc, added quite a bit of weight the car.. which is the opposite of what you do to a "race" car. That said, I have seen 1-2 over the years, but only at DE events.. Not racing. |
