My son and I are thinking about doing the One Lap of America next May? Anybody else considering it or interested? Wouldn't it be cool to show up with a half dozen or more 914s entered.
We have been talking about doing the race since he was old enough to watch the movie Cannonball Run (I think I showed it to him when he was 1). But, it is the first week of May, and when he turned 18 (old enough to enter) he went to college which has finals the first week of May. Since he decided to take the year off of college this year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) we might as well do something constructive. _______ 9/28/16 - Just an update. We are waiting to see the announced courses for 2017. I spoke with Brock today and they will be announced soon. Once we see the courses we can decide whether we think the type IV might be able to do it. Another idea has come up - if we don't do the official One Lap event, we could get some 914s together to create our own one lap of America-style drive. Or do the One Lap event without the full track days. I am looking into that now. |

Since Brock Yates passed away a few weeks ago, I think it has delayed them on releasing the specific venues a little.
The more I think about it, the more I wonder if a trailer is necessary. Your only allowed 1 spare tire (if the front and rear tire sizes are the same), and that can go in the front trunk. As far as I can list, there just aren't that many spare parts to take: 1 clutch 1 fan belt 1 brake pads 1 relay board 1 gas pedal 1 clutch cable 1 throttle cable 1 clutch cable Clevis 2 motor mounts 1 Can of air spray (for vapor lock) Brake fluid Tools Flashlights Tie wraps Grease 4 jack stands? Jack I am sure I am missing some extra parts we will want to take. But, all in all, it doesn't seem like there will be as many spares needed as I initially thought. If we put this stuff in duffle bags we should be able to fit it in the front and rear trunks. Then we can put our clothes in 2 duffles bags and put them on a rear trunk rack (I have an extra trunk lid that has already been drilled for the luggage rack). |
