Lost N spaced finishes 2nd place.

That is now a 2nd in 2004 1st in 2005 and 2nd in 2006.

Privately funded all amatuer racer team...

3 of the 4 drivers are current/former GGR TTers and AXers.

2 of the 3 drivers have been TTing/Axing for the same amount of time I have.

Pretty good considering there were over 50 cars this year. Many of factory teams including 2 factory backed BMW turbo diesels.
Many many professional drivers in very fast cars...but they couldn't beat a 32 year old street legal 911. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

i was actually surprised how cheap a number of seats went for. i heard a number of seats going for 2500~ish. i'd love to do this.

what would it take to run a 914 1.7?

prepped car $10k
numerous parts, 1 complete parts car $1.5k
3 1.7 engines/transaxles (ready to drop/replace) $1.5k
2 sets of tires $1k
fuel, brake pads/rotors, misc: $1k
914club labor: $0

turning 2:25's when the rest of the field is turning 2:05's.... priceless

Blasphemer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I can see it now: "Introducing car #44, a '93 Mazda Miata sponsored by 914world.com"

As far as fuel consumption, doesn't a 1.7L already get good gas mileage in stock form?
