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

Your SCCA license will work for pretty much any amateur club race, vintage included. There is a strictly vintage SCCA license, but aside from lower cost I don't see much reason for that.
EP is a veny competitive class. Lot's of 3 series BMW and other more modern OHC cars. The 914, with it's pushrod engine will have trouble keeping up. You don't say what your home track is, but that's a big factor too. In a tight technical race you'll be in the hunt. If it's flat and fast not so much. Equally important as the engine is the gearbox and how it's set up. You need to maximize the limited power you have to work with. Building Porsche transmissions is not cheap either..
For now, get your license, learn the car get as much seat time as you can, race or hpde and go have fun. Let the racing unfold at it's and your pace.
