That's right, I'm heading out to Infineon Raceway again to watch Scott Yeaman run his 914-6 in the final race this afternoon at 5:00pm with the POC group.

He has invited me to place my video camera on-board again for the footage of the entire race!

Cool...say is that a cupholder I see there under the windscreen?

Good news, bad news...

Bad news is as I drive up I saw Scott leaving around 2:30...His race starts at 5:05 so that's not good.

I asked the other racers about him and they said he blew his transmission in the morning and left.

The good news is I still got video.
I met a GT3 driver who let me put my camera in his car for the race.



I'll try to post some of it and some screen shots.

here's the car
Driven by John Trefethen.

i think thats a record for largest ducktail...

looks like lots of fun!

The black #90 914-6 is owned and driven by Gene Kindred, a long time GGR member and TT participant.
The car was the original Automotion 914-6 race car back in the 70s.
Gene has owned it since around '94 or so.
Was it hot at Sears?

Too bad about Scott, he and I used to run with each other at GGR TTs with our stock bodied 914-6s. He ran a fairly stock 2.0S motor and I had a 2.7 RS motor. Both of us ran 205s under stock fenders.
Scott is a great guy.

Bummer about Scott....

Dan, he still has his /6, it now has a 3.0 in it...full needle bearing suspension and a cage...it's a blast to drive, I've had it out at Thunderhill before and driven it on the street a few times...wow is all I can say

Is that the Tangerine (blood orange ) car or the tub he converted?

It was 83 degrees with a nice breeze and we sat up in the shade.

I only saw one other 914. it was running in one of the DE run groups, had a Chalon kit and sounded awful.

yes, it is ...

me driving scotts /6 at the AX in stockton earlier this year ...

Scott blew his transmission!!

He burned up his clutch during qualifying on Sat. and ended up getting all the necessary parts (5.5" Tilton Dual Disc) to replace it Sat. night. During the morning session on Sunday, Scott had a serious issue. From my understanding, Haydens (WEVO) described it as a snapped syncro which went through the side of the transmission case...not good. Time for another transmission rebuild.

-Britain

This is the car he is running now.



Here is the Tilton clutch assembly with the ultralight WEVO flywheel.

Wow, that is a lot better temp than it was at the GGR TT at Thunderhill. Both days over 100. UGH!
It was over 90 at 10:30PM last nite.
Scott's orange car looks just about the same other than the cage.
has the patented Bontempi spoiler.
Too bad about his tranny problems.

Here's an in-car screen shot.
Overtaking the 914-6

from what I hear the tilton set up is amazing but rather dangerous too.

I've seen a guy put into the wall/hospital due to the clutch.

If you don't have EVERYthing adjusted perfectly you are likely to have problems. I wonder if Scott had any adjustments out of spec due to the clutch problem which would of then led to tranny problems.

(I just bought a used tilton for next years box and am a little nervous about how deadly they can be with a missed shift)

Remember the joke newsitem about the CHP boxster? It exists...

Actually the Boxster in that pic belongs to Dr. Chris Murray a long time GGR member and TT participant. It is basically a GT3 Cup Boxster. 3.4L etc...full race car.
The CHP Boxster you are referring to actually is a Car belonging to Carlsen Porsche in Redwood City Ca. It was dressed in vinyl door trim for promotional purposes at car shows etc for the CHP to use as a promotional device. The car still belongs to Carlsen.
The yellow 911 in 935 trim belongs to Jeff Stevenson, also a GGR member and TT participant. That car started life as a street going 911SC. It now has a 3.8L Motec injected motor with all of the go fast stuff.
