I'm struggling to get some races in this year on the "real" racing (Super Touring Civic) to qualify for the SCCA Runoffs.
The historics/vintage 914 has been sitting in my enclosed trailer since October. Given the unknowns on the Lime Rock and Watkins Glen events, I decided to delay building an engine for it to replace the one I borrowed last year. We did purchase an ex-Modified autocrosser 914, with a Raby 2.3L /4 in it. Killer deal, couldn't resist it. I'll use that capital as an excuse on why I didn't build another engine (the real answer is: lazy. And beer). Anyone else getting any 914 time in this year? Attached thumbnail(s) |

PCA race at Summit Point in September. For those that don't know, PCA created a Vintage Group for '89 and older air cooled cars only. This year only Summit and Monticello (October) are holding a Vintage race (VIR and a couple others were cancelled), but it's a lot of fun - its the only racing I do now. Last year I think we had 10+ 914's at Summit. We get three 30 minute sprint races (as well as the practices, qualifying, 'Fun Race', etc). Every other group gets only 2 sprint races ;-) Classing is simple.
Come join us!! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) I thought about running a PCA event or two, but they won't accept an SCCA comp license, they want you to buy a PCA comp license (SCCA accepts PCA licenses). Not worth buying one every year for an event I "may or may not" do. |

Not worth buying one every year for an event I "may or may not" do. Agree that it's a hassle ...but then it's just having the doctor fill out both sets of forms at the same visit....get the "biennial" block checked btw....and then it's $115 for the license from PCA. Don't know about you but $115 is lost in rounding error for a really neat race event...c'mon down--would love to see another 914 in Vintage... |
