914 AX Shootout

Loma Prieta Region PCA and 914club are coming together for a one-time event: the 914 AX shootout!

On Sunday morning, March 20th, plan to be in one place: Marina Airfield near Monterey and Laguna Seca. This is a fabulous AX site with excellent pavement. Course design will be by our own Randal Barrick. Lunch will be catered in by a nearby Deli. Expect to be able to order a sandwich, chips, and drink for $10 or less.

This event is being hosted by the Loma Prieta region PCA. As such, participation will limited to PCA members (driving any Porsche) and 914's (PCA membership not required) only. V8 and other conversions are welcome! So, although it's not an all-914 AX, it's close! (Besides, we can show those tail-draggers and water-pumpers who's boss!). Expect about eight runs -- maybe more!

Sunday March 20th
Marina Airfield, CA
Registration 7.15-8.30 AM
Driver's meeting 8.45AM
$30 Entrance fee

Snell 1990 or better helmet required.
Instruction and limited loaner helmets available.
Drivers must work for runs.

For those out-of-towners, Trekkor will chime in here soon about nearby motel discounts that he has arranged.

I know that it's late notice, but we need to get about 20+ 914's at this event! We can do it!! So commit now!!! Also, I'm looking for a few volunteers to come early and do some setup (this counts for your work requirement!).

Please RSVP in THIS thread. We need to know how many 914club members to expect. Questions? Post 'em here, or PM me.

Thanks, and get those cars ready!

Nathan

Directions to Marina:

Take Highway 1 south toward Monterey and Laguna Seca Raceway. Take the Reservation Road exit south toward Marina. After one short block, turn right in order to stay on Reservation Road. Follow the road through Marina approximately two miles south of town. Turn left at (Imjin Road)signal into Marina Airfield. Turn right after the first large building on the right and follow the cones to the autocross site.

Man I wish I were closer. I would run this in a heart beat. I just have so much more to do on this car to get it ready for WCC. Plus the fact that you are like 9 hours away driving. The price is cheap too. One of these days I will be able to come up there and do some driving. I am even a PCA member.

-College-age people can crash at my place!

I'm not gonna have the car done in time to make it, but I intend to get down there in May/June for an AX.

My 914 will not be ready by then so Peridot Racing will be there in the ass dragger and the boxster.

Count me in for the fun...

-Britain

Dammit!

Unless I can figure out my linkage issues in time I'll have to pass.
Haven't got tires yet either so it would be street tires... Hmmm...

I doubt I'll make it.

74' 914/8

Hey JP,

If you don't want to haul your car down, wait until June to come down and you can take laps in the new 3.6 beast....

meow...

Bill P.

My teener can't hold her own swepco as of right now. I'll keep you posted... If not in my own, I may be sharing Birgit's car.

Maybe. Saturdays are better for me.

keepin' it on the first page!

I need at least ten guaranteed motel rooms before I can offer the phone number/rate info.

It will be at the Super 8 on Reservation rd in Marina.
10 minutes from the a/x site and car trailer friendly.

Good restaurant across the street and 5 min walk to the beach.

PM me if you want to stay at the reduced club rate.

Two driver cars all day long.
Just put two numbers on it.

Randal may run my car with me
#222 will be under my magnetics. Just lift it off when he runs.

KT

Just confirming I'm in!

Well of course I'm gonna bring my car down......no one want's to see just me I well may wait till you have your cats in the corral, tho.....just to see how my little 2.7 stacks up against your he-man 3.6 . Then we can swap cars for a pass or 2.

If the weather is good, 80% change I'll be there.

I doubt Joy and I can make it. If the AutoX were on Satruday the odds would have been better for us - but alas...

Y'all have fun without us!

Just remember...

Full Throtle Until You See God... then Brake!

Steve

let's go people, surely there are more of you who can commit to this!!!

My car's still on jackstands , maybe it will be ready by summer (insert wishful thinking smiley). I'd come down and watch but I think I have pager duty that weekend. Hope you guys and gals have fun.

Mikey

How many '14ers are going to be there?

Nobody has replied to the group rate for the motel.
Hope to see more interest.

I'll be there if that helps

KT

I'm trying to tune my car. If I make progress I'll be there.

There's a chance I'll be there.... perhaps just to work for ya'all.

What?

You'll see...You'll all see...Mwaahahahahhhaaaaaa.

Back me up here, Bill.

KT

I'll be there defending my home region turf in the 1.8. I'm trying to make a commitment to hit all the LPR events this year.

I'd like to try, but I have to get my car from Utah to my house before I can commit.
What are the requirements for seat belts and roll bars for an event like this? Virgin ax'er

Basic req's: Tight wheel bearings, good tires, no major oil leaks, good firm brake pedal, secured battery, factory seat belts or better. Roll bar NOT required.

Easy tech. Come run.

KT

Thank you so much for the info! What is the drop dead date for registration? I am going to PM the member with the help list for my trip from Utah.

LPR a/x #1 info

Register on site, day of event by 8:30am.

Hi Merrill

Welcome. Registration happens at the event, but try to let me know before hand -- i need a rough count of how many 914ers to expect.

looks like i may still be breaking in my engine for this event...

I will try to make it with my 914 - Theo
Trekkor - run - don't hide

Looks like I may not be able to make it after all - forgot about the big Porsche event at Fontana Speedway that weekend.

Wanna be there in worst way - however 29th wedding anniversary presents minor (major) conflict in my schedule. Both the car and driver need to blow some soot out and put some heat in the tires. Have fun...

20th eh?

A: im probably working

B: I dont have the clutch for it!

C: no trailer

Ah, I would love to come!!!!

Andrew

I will be there for SURE, no matter what

Gotta support the 914 Auto-X so we can maybe have some more in the future.

WTG Birgit!

that's the spirit -- i'm beginning to worry that we're not going to have a substantial turnout -- get those cars ready, folks!

bummer, but have fun!

Nathan.. call me. I built half that list.. I dont want to leave Kathy hanging.

i can. but i won't tell you how. you have to figure that one out for yourself ...

you are a smart girrrrrl, i'm sure you figure it out!
Andy

yeah, I use the bat phone. Seriously, I've got a way, but I feel bad inconveniencing others.

Jen

I will be nearby in the Salinas (w/o 914) working on my parents rental house.

Chris Julian is planning to debut his V8 monster. I can't miss that!

Tomorrow I'll see if Jason will participate (yes still bugging him, Brad)
