SCCA catagory for my 914-4, racing catagory 914 Options

[FastFroggy]

Hello all,

I previously ran HPDE events and autocrosses prior to my engine issue. I am now wrapping up my 914-4 rebuild and just passed my SCCA Licensing Class. Really enjoy running the car. Would like to see if there is an SCCA class I can fit it, but looks tough. Looking for guidance on the best path forward given my stated priorities:

1. SCCA regional level minimum
2. Extent of further modification needed
3. Relative competitiveness in class

My car:
a. 1973 914-4 with up to date safety items(Cage, extinguisher, seats, harness, etc)
b. 2.0l stock internals
c. race headers
d. large bore twin carbs
e. 5 lug conversion
f. 911 1973 rotors
g. 911s calipers front
h. fiberglass fender flares

Please PM me with feedback. Thanks, GregM

BillJ, you bring up a very good point. The 914 is not ideal for its fuel tank proximity to cabin ventilation. I think at a minimum vent block-offs.

Reminder on the objective:
- local track Waterford Hills
- competitive at Regional Level

To fill in some of the background on the car:

Previously ITA logbook(lost to time, with passing of owner), bought in Colorado.
-8 pt cage, Nascar-ish door bars ( will be adding a lower diagonal across the main hoop based on 914 racer friend experience)
-rear chassis stiffening
-15in wheels 7"/8"
-external oil cooler / accusump
-deep sump
-2.0 l stock block for now
-44mm dual carbs
-5 lug conversion
-S caliper front
-1973 911 front and rear rotors

Previously ITA logbook(lost to time) out in Colorado.

If you look on the right side vertical leg of the main hoop, there should be a number stamped into the rollcage. If it was caged in Colorado Region it should start with 8 or 08.

Regardless, get that number for me and I can investigate its history. We might be able to re-logbook it with that number. - GA
