914World.com is proud to announce an exclusive online chat with Daytona winning driver "Ralph Meaney" and current car owner "Steve Limbert".


What Day?: Sunday, March 11th

What Time?: 8:00PM EST - 5:00PM PST

What Is It?: A live online chat with one of the top Porsche drivers of his time.

About the technology: ParaChat is the official "InVision" (our BBS software) chat server. It will allow us to set-up a live chat with notable figures in our realm. The live chat will be set-up in a thread. You will need your user name and password to access the thread and the chat, even if you are already signed in.

More about the technology: IMPORTANT - We will NOT implement live chat as a regular feature on this site. There are many, MANY reasons for this. Most importantly, cost (we do not wish to be a subscription based site), the ability to archive helpful tips and data, and, SEO optimization. PLEASE DO NOT ASK (or we'll have you shot). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Now, on with the show; In 1970 Meaney Racing won The 24 Hours of Daytona for the GT2 class in a 911S. However, the 914-6/GT number 19 (shown here) is Meaney Racings most well known car, described as "Europe's Fastest GT" by the German press. This car has an extensive race history in Europe and the United States. This is the 914 that literally won the 1970 FIA World Championship for Porsche!

Steve Limbert, current car owner, and owner of Aircooled Racing, will also be on-hand, joining us to talk about this very car and his latest project to reproduce the #18 car (the sister car) that Ralph had back in the day.

Ever wonder what it was like to drive a real 914-6/GT at a real track? Make sure you set the date and time to be here to talk to Ralph Meaney. We don't want you to miss this exciting exclusive event.

*** Special Thanks to Jeff Hines, Ralph Meaney and all of Meaney Racing, Steve Limbert of Aircooled Racing and Armando Serrano for their support in making this happen.***

I think we took the original aluminum cage out of that car and replaced it with a steel cage in 1998 or 1999. The original cage was removed very cleanly, and preserved, and returned to the owner.

A fellow here in NY owned either that car or one of the others that were raced at LeMans.

as an aside which site will this chat originate from? world or club?

That was an accident.

Miscommunication with Ralph's 'computer person'.
