The second day of AX at Marina yesterday had great showing of 914's. I think I counted 5 914-6's and lots of 4's. A lotus Elise should up too! Think most of us faster 914 guys/gals beat him! With a better driver the Elise would be an incredible AX weapon based on what I could see from the dynamics of that car.

Bad news is that a 996 took top time of the day and in my opinion the course was better suited to fast 914's.

Albert in his carbed 1.8 was setting incredible times. He was within a second of top time of the day. I was driving the piss out of my car and could only get within a little over a 1/2 second of him. Trekkors car was looking great with new wider wheels.

Great to see so many new 914 guys/gals at this AX. We had a very good showing of 914's in the top 20 places too.

great stuff.

It was great to see all the 914 folks out there on sunday!

say, do you know when they post the results to the PCA-GGR web page? (And, do they bother posting results of people in the "fun" class?)

I'm interested to see how I did against other [classes of] cars. This was my 1st PCA event, and if I decide to A-X my car regularly I'll probably need to sort out what class I'm in - and what chances I might have at running competitively in it based on my current level of preparation (i.e. change to AutoX tires, grab helmet, show up, unload all the loose stuff, & drive).

(what I drove)

Mike,

It was great meeting you and your hot wiring skills are quite impressive (Mike did an incredible job hot wiring a 912 whose owner lost her keys - he included a hand drawn wiring diagram)! I think GGR results are usually up in a couple weeks. I wish I had seen your car run. I bet that 3.0 makes the car scream! With some race slicks bet you could do very well. You can find the AX rules on the GGR site. My sense is that 3.0 puts you in a pretty tough class, however the classing system is up for review soon.

thanks Grant, great meeting you too - Mr. Ultralight!

Yeah I had an absolute blast wailin'-around in my 3.0 - if only 2nd gear was just a LITTLE taller...

FYI I'll be posting my hot-wiring story shortly -

Ron Leppke takes great pics at many of the Zone 7 events...

There were about 100 drivers in 88 cars both days.

Grant was really on it. Almost got me...within .040
