Ran across an ad on the Pelican forum for what appears to be Jim Blakewell's old SCCA GT2 914 racecar. For those who have been around for a while, you may remember that this car did well in SCCA back in the late 1990s or so. He placed at the Runoffs several times. Full tube frame car with a Hewland trans, 2.8L 911 motor per rules at the time, a pretty aggressive build and I think nicely done.

POC just reworked its classification system for 2018 but based on what I remember from before, this car might get stuck in EX (exhibition) with things like paddle shift Ferrari Challenge Stradles or in GT1 with modern big power aero ABS PDK cars.
That wind screen and roll cage are the main gotchas, I think. Most sanctioning bodies these days of course want a full height front hoop section. |
