The Sacramento Valley Region of the PCA (pinky lifters to you Britt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pissoff.gif) ) will be holding an autocross at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds Saturday September 16th (See the SVR site for flyer and details)
There will be giraffes and elephants, dancing girls (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mrs.K.gif) , a bearded lady... Seriously, it would be nice if you Bay Area guys would show up for this event. We have about 20 prescheduled participants now. Our courses are almost always 914 friendly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Who is in??? Who has the stones to take on Steve Nieslony on his own turf? I look forward to seeing you guys. Lets make it a 914 top 5!

The tech inspector is my freind and neighbor. I am going out to dinner with him tomorrow night. I can arrange to have you guys not pass tech and have him suggest that you make a run for Stockton and go to the autocross! That is the plan! Ok... Have a good time. But don't chase. Everyone knows that blue cars are faster than white cars!!! Oh gosh. Now I have started it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) |

Rob,
Joy and I along with a few others will be there on Saturday. Looking to have fun on Saturday! For those on the fence. The weather has been great in the valley - low 80's, you will get plenty of runs and plenty of seat time. Hopefully we can convince some of you to make the journey to our site and event. Cheers! Steve |

Per the Zone Calendar, the Zone event is the one in October, not September. Steve |

I am going to be driving my 4 cylinder with the wheels I bought from you! Not sure how we wound up with events on the same day. Ours is a bigger lot. Hard to beat an event in your back yard though. Have a good time... alone... Crying 'cause no one else came. Hey! you can still come to ours! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jsharp.gif) Dinner afterwards? |

I'd consider the drive out to the valley if 'ol smokey' wasn't so smokey. It's getting pretty nasty to drive, especially when sitting at lights. I always have a little pity for the cars behind me too, unless they're tailgating. Then they get the "rev up to 6k, decel hard SMOKE BOMB." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Dinner sounds good, but I'll be zonked after a full day in the sun. I think going home to my hun and cold beer will probably be the key to happiness that evening, but thanks for the invite! |

I believe the guy said he was selling them for you? We (he and I) met at the In and Out Burger in Fairfield and did the swap in the parking lot. I think they are the ones on my car. I have 10 or 11 of them now. Enjoy your day... |

I listed those wheels for my friend Jasper. They were the extra set of wheels he got with the 914 he purchased (which now happens to be my 914). Have a great race on Sat! |

Rob,
Sounds good. We will try to be there as early as possible to help. I am however dealing with really bad tendinitis in my right shoulder, so I will not be lifting or throwing cones. My Doc will opt for amputation if I do hevaly lifting ;-) See you on Saturday am! Steve |

The course is all set to go and approved by several of the hot shoe 914 community...
You will enter the course and do a complete practice lap before entering the timer and then TWO laps on the course. With probably 30 cars or so you should get some very good seat time... Come one! Come all! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) |

I love the 1+2 format - I do not know anyone else that is running it these days. Much easier on transmission/diffs then the hot lap format, no ackward tight corners to start or end a run... way cool! See you on Saturday!

So before someone says that this is no good without pictures, we were too short staffed for anyone to be taking pics so sorry...
About 32 cars and perhaps 36 drivers. More 914's than I expected. Kim and Rachel brought out the concours queen. It looked and moved like a car that had never seen a concours on course. Very well driven. Steve and Joy were there with the Pylon Assasin. TTOD for Steve and Joy showed quite well too. The Fleming family with a new to them 914 2.0 came out with son Ryan and his first autocross. Ryan took extensive instruction from Steve and his line through a particularly challenging portion of the course had me amazed. Simply beautiful. I had the Submarine today. I am impressed with how much better the car handles on the same size tires but wider wheels. I went back to the Revolutions that Jim Chambers had on the car and although the pyrometer readings tell me the suspension is not set up right and it still isn't enough tire for the motor the car felt so much easier to drive fast... By the way, the new to me 5 lug Fuchs for the conversion arrived yesterday and are in almost new condition. A couple very fast 911 pilots kept the top 10 from being an all 914 affair. Larry Sharp showed us what poetry would look like if it were a car being driven on an autocross course. Bob Peake is hecka fast but doesn't look it. Smooth as a spanked babies butt... I forget the name but the car belongs to Elephant Racing. Sweet. Lastly Ken Mitchell came out with his Camaro and put on a total exhibition of speed and power. Results soon. |
