I'd advise showing up as early as possible to the event to ensure you can get your 914 to pass tech inspection, walk the course, and meet up w an instructor if they offer. All are important ways to ensure the best day, you have fun, and be safe.
Well prepared 914s have beaten most of the cars on your list at an autocross, especially when it's the first time they've raced 'em (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I've also had lots of interesting tech inspection experiences, most of which resulted in 10 minutes of wrenching followed by passing tech and a fun day of racin. Once I got some custom magnetic race decals for letting someone borrow my jack stands and tools to fix their 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
