I don't know that it is the 'perfect' car, but it would get the job done.

I did my novice program in the same car I still own, and won a championship with in 1997.

Thanks for the comments.

There are lots of road courses in the Southeast. The larger oval tracks have road courses integrated into the oval, on the infield, and some extend outside of the oval.

Charlotte and Daytona both have road courses.

There is also Road Atlanta, Northeast of Atlanta. A world class road course.

Alabama has Talladega, which also has a road course (although I doubt it sees much use), and there is Barber Motorsports Park just outside of Birmingham.

There are more, I'm just drawing a blank right now.

I would like to add a plug for the autofocus of my camera/lens combo. Nearly every shot I made was perfectly focused, and nearly every perfectly focused shot was focused where I wanted it to be.

Who says Pentax cameras aren't good for action shots?

You're very welcome Jer!




Years ago there was a guy in Portland, Oregon wedging Chevy V-8 engines into 914 Porsche's. Ground pounding go karts!

Thanks Les.



They handle like a go cart.

I've driven one of these (not this one) and they are a ball to drive. Go in deep, get off the brakes and squeeze the throttle, often getting flat before the apex. Track out on exit, and the car squirts very hard to the next corner.

Point the steering wheel where you want to go and floor it.

Great fun!

The IRDC hosted ICSCC meet, July 2018. A novice hustles his Porsche 914 Six, between turn 8 and turn 9 at the Pacific Raceways road course. This guy is a second generation Conference racer, his parents were among the group that founded the ICSCC in the 1950's.
