Victory Lane Magazine is sponsoring a 914 Gathering at Laguna Seca Oct 29/30 this weekend as part of the SCCA vintage race weekend. They are trying to get us teeners to be the featured marque! If you are a qualified racer or know someone with a 914 that is, please have them contact Pam Shatraw at 650 321 1411 to get on their list ASAP. This event sells out early every year!
I think they plan on a 914 parking corral- so all you non-racers come out to support us (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) |

OK !! I am going. Great track, weather will be super, all the teeners will be fun and we will have an audience. Might want to do a tour/drive in and around Carmel/Monterey if time permits for the non-racers (corral types). Trekkor you ARE a racer. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

Dave; What are the license requirements? Will a POC race license suffice?
The $64 question: what is the db level limit. I'd like to go but if it's 93db I'd be wasting my time. My cars kind of loud. Ahndy; we need more info, or I won't let you drive my car again! This post has been edited by drew365: Jun 2 2005, 09:57 PM |

Like some of the other guys, I would be interested if (1) there were a DE or TT run group as it's really doubtful I could get SCCA licensed by then and (2) I had any chance to make the dB limits. My car is even louder than Andy's... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)
Dave does your car make Laguna sound limits if you run a stock-ish airbox and muffler? Or do you have to also apply other tricks? |

I would love to attend as spectator/914 corral/campground partying person. I have reserved sites for Historics and ALMS (Pcar LMP2 debut!) We stop at Phil's in Moss Landing on the way down and get a gallon of Cioppino and some Chianti. Let's gang camp! Bring your mountain bikes.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) Andy PS: altough POC and PRC are not on that list, i would be surprised if they didn't allow those as well ... |

Me too! What is qualified? I have taken more formal intermediate race classes at Infineon. If I take the advanced class I think I earn SCCA lic. I'd thow a cage in my car for that event if I could compete! Very cool! |

92 db sound limit. If in doubt about your car, per Grant - lift at turn 5 where the sound check is located or move your tail pipe downwards and towards the driver side of the car - away from the station which is on pass. side). BBQ at or near the corral is a must.

Its funny I never realized why people were driving around with downward bent tubes clamped onto their exhausts until I went to Laguna Seca. That does seem to work. |
