Thanks for the pics!
Really wanted to go but was over at Buttonwillow testing the 914 for the "Poor Man's Monterey Historics" (Sept SCCA Laguns Seca Vintage)
Anymore pics of the silver 914?

Silver race car or the V-8 car? So one of each: the raised hood looks Chevy-like to me....ventilation?...looks? One inside shot of the "22" car. Would of loved to have been "on track" with my car at the Historics...... 
WTF is the silver car sitting so high?? V8's oil pan is too low?
Nice twin tips like a bug....

The Toyota set a new course record today, TWICE. It was something like 1:06. with an average speed of @121. mph.
First time to the Historics, there were more cars than I anticipated. Lots of fun and lots of action.
wow....I'm blown away by that original 550!
The silver 914 has some interesting work. Some is really nice some sorta tacky but well done.
Now the Indian is my kinda bike

a few more...
more...
and more...
and the last
wow -glad I hit this thread for 2 reasons
1. I thought about putting a cowl hood scoop on my V8 tube car to help vent the radiator in a more aerodynamic way, but wondered what it would look like. I intend to paint silver, so right on! Looks kinda south-of-the-border as I suspected tho'
2. My friend's old Mustang I got to race at Willow Springs back in the mid-90. I had a 70 fastback and was always drag racing it. Met him at a huge Ford show and he said "one lap on a road course and you will never drag again". I went to Willow to watch him with the cobra club and he asked if I wanted to drive it.
What kind of question is that - do I want to drive it, of course I want to drive it. It's like asking if I want free pie and chips... (I love that Geico ad apparently)
Anyway, I never drag raced again! He sold it due to some "employment issues" back in the 90s, got a Pantera he let me rip thru the Santiago Canyon with (I hit a dip hard and ripped the front valence up - he yelled Go Go Go after I hit the brake and started apologizing - true hard-core guy!)
Anyway, good memories to brighten up my Monday!!
