Can you tell us where you left your 914 ??
Yes, left it with Fred Baker's (3x SCCA National) ex-crew chief. That's all I'm say'in. It should be firing on all 12 plugs come Parade.

I would hope that early SWB 911s still garner the respect they deserve
I think it was "different" which is my guess as to why it won. There were a ton of really nice 911's there, a lot of late model stuff and... simply "try" to imagine all of the cool 356's that would haunt a "Stoddard" swap meet; then times it by ten! Line them up together and each one becomes a "white one" or a "blue one" or a "red one". There were about 1/2 dozen 914's there but none prepped in GT trim and almost all of the other were drivers. The nicest 914 there was Mark Taylor's "preservation" 1974 in the same color. We put them across from one another in the concours. Afterward we parked them side by side and took some pictures for the Stoddard catalog, web site and newsletter.
