Another LeMons 914, Out in a blaze of glory I guess Options

[mpoffers]

I have mixed feelings whenever I see a 914 pop up in LeMons. At least it's better than going straight to the crusher.

We came in 68th with our '69 Opel GT, "Team Tinyvette." There were two 914s there, and the other one (a Gulf 917 look-alike) had quite a few mechanical problems. I saw his carbs off at least twice...

Trekkor was there, too, in his Escort. Hopefully he'll become active on this board again fixing up his 914.

Lotsa fun. Our transmission locked up 45 minutes into the race, and we had the spare in and the car back on track within 75 minutes. But we black-flagged three times in the next two hours and parked the car for the final 4 hours on Saturday. We steadily climbed back up the ranks on Sunday, but we were so far back that we were: 1) glad to have finished (running!), and 2) happy to finish mid-pack.

We plan to go for the early December Lemons at Buttonwillow with the miniture 'Vette again. We're hoping for a low residual value rating so we can be allowed to put some money into making it a tad faster (a cam to boost high-rev power and spend some time tuning the engine).
