Great picts. You should load up and come down to sea level and visit us at the CA Speedway later this month. There should be a good selection of TransAm cars there too and hopefully I can get some picts. |
Are you going to cal speedway? I'll be there. I'll try to wear something 914 related, so if you see me say hi
Very nice pics, by the way!

found a few more of my shots inside the camera card.
This is my mentor/instructor. Very FAST. quickest vintage legal 911 that was there. Unfortunately this was taken about 2hours before he was T-boned by a shelby.
Rear quarter is smashed in now and door and even other rear quarter has a buckel in it:

Here was the other car that swapped back and forth each lap with the lola. This thing was so fast...
It blew me away:

Tim, I saw your thread... its amazing that you were able to get it back together for the main event..
dang good job!!!
So regarding the 2.0 in big bore. The way I heard it is that the small bore classes (mostly british cars) don't want to be decimated by the porsches. So they bumped 2.0 up to big bore. That way the porsches continue to run mid pack against the monsters......

I get it, change the rules at the last minute so the Porsches are at a disadvantage!!
same MO, been like that for years
ps Im going to post some video later that has a 914 powered by a 956 engine in it

I should have added....
that the story is slanted from the porsche perspective.
officially the porsches run in big bore to even out the run groups more.
I actually had a blast running in big bore and would probably prefer it. How often will I get to corner with a lola and see if I can stay up with him in some twisty section.... plus when he beats me I have a really good excuse. If I were to get beaten by a TR4, I wouldn't have much excuse would I?
(no offense to the english preferring bretherin out there)

I really enjoyed watching the vintage races Sunday at WCC2005. There are a couple videos in this thread. A lot of the same cars as the pictures.
