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

Fun looking car. Similar to my last one built by AJRS for a now gone GT5S class of PCA racing. You'll have to comb the GRC to see if all the body and suspension / brake mods kick you out of a P class - GA will be the best to comment on that. If so you'll fall in a "catch all" class of GTx or SPU. SCCA vintage VP2 is still an option, but against up to 3.0L cars you'll get spanked. Drop the engine to a 1.8 and run in VP1 and you'd be very competitive. You could also just run in VP1 and see if anyone protests. As an novice i doubt they will as the little 510 datsuns are screamers. Good luck beating them... Have fun with it, but yes, absolutely get a fuel cell into it. I also highly recommend an oil pressure activated fuel pump cut out switch. If the engine dies it shuts off the fuel pump. The car starts from what's in the carb bowls. You can wire in a momentary over ride switch if the carbs are empty (sitting / stored long enough for carb bowls to evap)
