Preparing a new race car build. Would like to run. Fairly stock 2.0 and don’t want to get into a class where the 914 won’t be competitive. If I have a fully caged and braced tub, modified suspension, modest weight reduction and a stock but carbed 2.0, what class would you suggest would be competitive to build toward? For VARA, POC, SVRA most likely.
Looking through all their GCR’s and classifications, there seems to be a few different ways to go.
Suggestions from those that have been there would be appreciated.

Bob from Naro Motorsports was telling me that his PCA region created a vintage class. I thought this was interesting. I can't remember the details, maybe he'll chime in and share.
Attending events and see whats going on in your area is a great idea. I mean, I love my 914 but the E30's and the Spec Miata's race hard and have a lot of competition. I did notice that my race group (NASA) has a great Spec 944 class running in the middle of the country and we have one guy signed up for next weekend at Sebring. I would hate to have no one to mix it up with. He gets a first place trophy every event!
You can also just make a 914 fit somewhere. Theres a couple 914's that have an LS engine that eat Corvettes and 911's all day long. It only takes money. You can make anything work with enough cash!
