Nominations closed. A separate thread will open with the poll. Thanks to all who contributed nominees, those who seconded and the great cars up for the contest.
The COTM contest this month will be a competition of 914s that have been driven/raced in Autocross, or Solo, events. Solo events are driving skill contests that emphasize the driver’s ability and the car’s handling characteristics. The COTM contest is open to those 914s that were driven to an autocross/solo racing event(s). The first five (5) cars nominated, and seconded will be competing. Contest will run until April 30th 2014. RULES for the Autocross COTM May-June 2014: 1. Nominees must state the name and location of at least one event in which the car competed (minimum 1, no maximum) 2. The car must have been driven to the event (i.e. had state tags/license plate) 3. Cars that were trailered, towed or otherwise not driven on public roads to the event are EXCLUDED. 4. Any engine, suspension, interior, wheel or tire setup is permitted (including stock, of course). To all autocrossers, cone dodgers, and anyone else who may have dragged a cone 200 yards stuck under the front of the car, the 914World is ready and waiting to see the cars, setups, and events across the country where your car may have oversteered into some driving excitement! Note: dedicated autocross builds not driven to events are of course welcome to compete in OPEN and TRACK COTM contests. |

You want a 914 that was driven to an AX.... well how about this!
Driven from Hurst, Texas to Porsche Parade 2012 in Salt Lake City, UT. 2432 miles round trip. Had a bottom end start knocking 8 hours down the road in Dalhart,Texas. Trailered 8 hours back to Hurst, changed the motor for the worn spare in 11 hours, then drove to Salt Lake. Blew the oil cooler leaving Grand Junction Colorado. Changed the oil cooler in Salt Lake in the hotel parking lot. Won class in Parade AX the next day! Plus.. this car is a 28 year AX warrior in both SCCA and PCA. |

I nominate Brittains yellow monster. You didn't read the entry rules.... "Cars that were trailered, towed or otherwise not driven on public roads to the event are EXCLUDED." With no windshield and slicks, I would say that is not street legal. Rules shmules, this car should have been cotm a long time ago. |

Not sure aboot Trekkor but Huey has a big old plate on the rear. I don't think Trekkers car has even run in a couple years. He's been lemons racing for a while in a Ford... |

I second this car because it's the 1st LE I've ever seen, EVER, nominated for COTM. I dislike these specialization COTM contests. It should just be 914s, period. Not track car specific, or six specific, or jack stands specific, or whatever. Be nice to see a car like Pats' car, a car that hasn't had massive work done to it because it didn't need it, get nominated once in a while. |

I'll nominate Ken's car 'cause he terrorized me in it one dark night in the Smokey Mountains doing 80mph on a 20mph curve. And he's kinda big into AX.

Competed every event last season with the Sports Car Club of NH.
Best finish of 3rd with slippery 195 Eagle GTs. The guys at the club like it enough to use it as the header on their facebook page. Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

If I base my decision on color combo, it would be Trekkor's.
If I base my decision on purpose built modifications, it would be Ury's. followed by Britain's, or is it that other way around ? If I base my decision on proven universal functionality, I would pick Huey. If I base my decision on the ugliest exhaust system I have ever seen, it would be Sir Andy's. I was going to nominate ConeDodger's car, but now it's too p r e t t y. I have to think about it more... What were we talkin' about again ? ...oh, yeah. I nominate Ury's car. |

Lately I've been trailering my car to events but it still does occasionally get driven on the street. This was last Sunday.

Not only does he drive it on the street - it has steer horns on the front trunk he takes off for AX events.! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |
