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

Thanks again for all who are contributing.

Been reading up on the GCR in chunks so still do not have a full view of all class details.

EP sounds great for a local and Division level, but to get legal need some more part downgrades ( IE Carbs, Wheels, Brakes).

Based on this forum discussion, my initial concern about meeting class rules, I am a bit more focused on improving safety. I am willing to spend a bit on that.

I may be even less competitive, but at my home track I do not expect it will matter much, I am considering to class the car in GT3. I would need to get a fuel cell, but I think that is it.

Thoughts?

Utterly uncompetitive nationally, but you'll still have fun at home. Amd no one will care about any mods that may be non-compliant (which may be none).

I'd need to see your cage, but you may be required to install two stubs from the front legs to the firewall, plus a lateral "dash" bar. Kill switch, window net, fuel cell, fire system required. Up to date harnesses, of course, and a good racing seat. Brake lights. Rain light, if your stock taillights are disabled. Disable steering lock. Tow hooks each end.

I'm drawing a total blank here but are 914 windshields bonded in? Rubber-installed windshields need windshield retention clips, bonded windshields do not.

We need to hook you up with a local inspector to start the inspection process and give you tips on what needs to be done. Send an email to the road racing director of Detroit region to find out to who to work with: http://drscca.org/race/

And I strongly suggest some kind of either dry sump or Accusump (former preferred). - GA
