I was just looking over my copy of this months "Sports Car" magazine (SCCA's monthly mag). I have noticed that there seem to be no 914's running at the top of any class. Why is this? Are the rules written in such a way that the 914 is just can't be competitive? I understand that at the Runoffs these guys have poured buckets of money into whatever they're driving. But why hasn't anybody poured a ton of money into a 914 for SCCA? I have seen several in HSR and PCA that always competitive and they usually finish on the podium.
Oh well, jus thought I'd ask. |

Personally I think there are quite a few 914s running around in SCCA racing. Given the various other venues that 914s can run (PCA, POC, Vintage), the 914 is fairly well represented.
If you run a British car, you can race vintage or SCCA... that's it. Since Porsches have more venues their numbers are fewer in SCCA. There could be more (and will be), but if I wanted to run a car that everyone else was I'd run a RX-7 or Miata. |
