Several years back, I used to watch the SCCA Runoffs, many times at Mid-Ohio, on the SPEED channel. It was always cool to see a few 914's running in, I THINK, the E Prod and F Prod classes.
I just happened to look on their website today and didn't see any 914's in the results. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I might have missed one, but I thought I would find them in either E, F, or H. Anyone here know if there are any 914's still running competitively in the SCCA, and, if so, what class? |

Yeah, I've been doing this for a while... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) BTW, the Runoffs wasn't that kind to me this year...but I made headlines...
https://youtu.be/wO6TwYRFS74?t=56 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Yeah, Chris got caught up with a Miata at Mid Ohio during a qually session. Miata was scrubbing tires edge-to-edge on the track (green flag) and Chris tried to sneak by but didn't quite make it. I'm driving the orange 914 in historics right now, but with the result of that video above, and not a lot of motivation to work on it, I'm looking maybe to bringing the 914 to SCCA racing. We'll see... Keep an eye on Kip. If anyone can develop and win EP in a 914/6, it's him. |

I just saw a puff of smoke and then all hell broke loose??? I can't even imagine the amount of damage done to your car's electrical system, not too mention everything else under the hood and dash. It's kind of surreal watching the safety crew extinguish the flames ....especially the first attempt, and then viewing your camera catching the rest of the situation. As I watching, I found myself saying, "Hey guys,....c'mon back....hey guys...." At any rate, I will watch Kip and hopefully you as well in a teener! |

QUOTE(Craigers17 @ Nov 23 2019, 04:27 AM) Wow! Sorry to see that happen to you. What exactly happened there... Of all the stupid things that can happen...the o-ring between the engine block and the oil filter intercooler/oil cooler adapter blew out, dumped oil straight down onto the header below it. Poof. Burned up all the rubber and electrical in the engine compartment. The fire under the dash was caused by the main battery cable getting compromised by the fire and grounding through engine and under-dash wiring (kill switch solenoid is in the engine compartment). All that dripping was under-dash plastic and wiring on fire. So that means everything under the dash needs replacement, too. Next design will have a fusible link at the battery (which is a dee-dah-dee for me, shoulda been there in the first place). Thus, I'm thinking maybe just drive the 914 in 2020. Maybe I'll run it in EProd and set a goal of not getting lapped by Kip... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
