You bought another 914?  Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,622 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None

I have never done any sort of track day / DE event before. I have two 914's at the moment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The 1970 Driver /Ax weapon and the NEW (old) FP racecar that will soon have a 2.4 /6 in it.
Both cars have 5 point belts, but if I understand the PCA rules my 70 driver / AX can't be used because 1) I don't have the stock three point belts and 2) I don't have the right seats according to them. I have the Lemans GTS seats in it. I am not interested in spending more $$ on "race seats" and I sure as heck don't see how the old style 3 point belts used in early 914's are better than my 5 point setup. So to me the old racecar would be the right choice, yes? Well then the only problem I see is as a novice I must have and instructor ride with me, right? Kind of hard to do in a car made for only one person. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)  As I understand you must have X amount of time with and instructor before you are allowed to drive by your self? I like the 70 driver setup the way it is and really don't want to change it, but is that what I have to do? Now I haven't called anyone about the PCA Rules yet, but I know a lot of you here have ran in these events so I thought I would ask here also.
