Autocross

Vehicle Information: Model (914/4, 914/6): 914/4; Year: 1973; Engine (type, size, modifications): 2.0, stock except for dual Webers; Total Mileage: 170,000;

Ed: I saw in the Panorama recap of the Porsche Parade that a 914 had won again, for what was claimed to be the 12th year in a row. (Later saw a ~7 yr old Panorama announcing a non-914 winner, but most seem to be.) Can you (I understand you're a autocrosser and spouse of another one)do a major article on the cars of the more frequent winners-- seems phenomenal that a 40 year old design keeps beating all comers. (Yeah, LOW cg, mid-engine, light -- but still, beating 40 years worth of later Porsches. (I have a neighbor with a Europa that weighs 1400 #, with the souped up ?Renault motor, making 140 hp- must go well, too). Can you give us the secrets of the best 914 AX cars (and drivers), in other words-- in a feature article for the mag? Thanks, Chris Hager, in the VA 'burbs of DC
