Preparing a new race car build. Would like to run. Fairly stock 2.0 and don’t want to get into a class where the 914 won’t be competitive. If I have a fully caged and braced tub, modified suspension, modest weight reduction and a stock but carbed 2.0, what class would you suggest would be competitive to build toward? For VARA, POC, SVRA most likely.
Looking through all their GCR’s and classifications, there seems to be a few different ways to go. Suggestions from those that have been there would be appreciated. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) SCCA has always been more friendly to water-pumpers and the 914 was crippled from the beginning. Chris Foley is one of the few people to be competitive with a 914 and only he can tell you what he spent engineering his car to do so. I have fun tooling around at the back of the SCCA vintage class with MGAs and other small-bore cars with a stock 1.8L. Eventually I'll swap in a Subaru motor and just go have fun in Champcar. We also happen to have an ITX class locally which allows engine swaps in SCCA, but it's just another place for Champcar/Lemons cars to race.
