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seen a date on some paperwork for a body that was being sold here on the World forum of 1984, and that body looked like a newer version of the one on my car.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 GTU was 2.5 in 76...maybe GTO, as a non porsche special...? correct 1976 IMSA had the GTU, and GTO cut off is at 2.5Liters however the race club that mike is asking about (RMVR) only adopted IMSA rules that include 6cylinder and 8cylinder cars so within rmvr, no 4cylinder IMSA cars are currently accepted under current rules the rational at the time those IMSA rules were adopted by rmvr was that no gtu cars were interested and the person writing and researching the imsa rules saw no reason to write gtu rules and do the work for a class that no one was interested in. (its a lot of work to adopt rules and go through them with a fine tooth comb) so 6 and 8cylinder cars are currently legal.... 4cylinders are not until someone puts in the hours to write and refine the rules, and then puts it through the board. (only 50 to 100 hours of volunteer work) sometimes vintage rules are weird... because the person volunteering all of their time is only willing to do so much free work. |
