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? |

Just a quick update: SCCA CRB rejected my request to run the /4 2L in HProd under Limited Prep regs; "This classification is not recommended at this time, as 2.0L is considered too much displacement for HP."
This, despite it making the same stock horsepower as the Runoffs-winning Honda Civic Si. Ah well. We'll keep it in historics racing for now. |

On the upside, I just saw an apparent F-Prod 914 racecar go up for sale in the classifieds. Apparently, it has a pretty good pedigree with winning back in the early 2000's? Maybe someone will snag it up, and at least try to run it in F-Prod again??? |

Me, I'm wondering if I should request the 2L into FP at Limited Prep, build it to the regs, and then see if I can convince them it's a decent HP LP car... Yes, Len, I'm a glutton for punishment. But aren't we all? |
