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seen a date on some paperwork for a body that was being sold here on the World forum of 1984, and that body looked like a newer version of the one on my car.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.

Looks a bit Group 5ish but also a bit slope nosed.

QUOTE(ConeDodger @ Mar 21 2018, 07:53 AM)  Looks a bit Group 5ish but also a bit slope nosed. Definitely looks slope nosed and quite a bit Chalon-like, although the front fenders appear to be even more flared than the standard Chalon body. Wonder who was running that car, and where and when this photo was taken. As for the poor 911 and driver, that's the original meaning of being "upside down" in a car, in bleak contrast to the current meaning of only owing more than it's worth. Thanks for posting this picture. |

The 914 nose in this last picture looks like the usual Topper Chasse IMSA nose. The picture is a little grainy, but I think I can make out the 914 turn signal protrusions (all fiberglass, of course).
[Edit] Actually, I see the car is number 29. Earl Roe's 914 sometimes ran that number and had a similar paint scheme. [Another edit] That looks like the downhill left hander (turn 6) at Watkins Glen. |
