I was wondering what those of you who have, have had, or are interested in having a 964 would think of a Spec 964 class to race in. The basic parameters would be a mostly stock car but with a minimum weight that reflects removing stuff like all the interior, A/C, yet without having to get expensive FRP body parts.

Suspension would probably be open, with the limiting factor being wheels and tires - maybe 7, 7.5, or 8 in front and 9 in back, with toyos.

This recently came up in a conversation I was having about converting my 964 to a NASA/PRC GTL car.

I know there aren't a "lot" of 964s out there, but I thought there just might be enough to put together a class, kind of like the GTS and GTL classes with NASA/PRC.

 

Sounds good to me!

 

Sound interesting Chance, but in our area we seem to be getting spec'd out. What with
Spec 911/toyo cup
Spec 944
Spec boxster getting geard up in Norcal
Also somewhat spec GTL.

Norcal classes may be getting too fragmented.

Just my .02 cents worth.

do you know if there is Spec 911/toyo cup on the north east

 

That would be great in the east, but I am not so sure there are enough to make it worthwhile. You could probably combine 964 and 993s and have a better chance IMO.

 

I already do spec 964 racing.

 

GTC1 rocks...too pricey for me though.

 

I think it could work ...there are a number of us that we could easily fill the field.

 

And I'll be doing it in '07 and beyond

 

and I won't be.... ck came today

 

I don't think so. The class was formed as part of PRC (porsche racing club) PCA really doesn't come out here so a few years ago some of the PCA autocrossers and time trialers decieded to form thier own club. We race under NASA. I believe in the north east NASA/GTS (german touring car series) is big.

 

You've got a good idea. The problem is getting enoug people involved to make for meaningful racing. I would have been interested a year ago, I'm too deep into my 911SC to get another race car. I have some friends lurking on the sidelines looking for venue to go racing. A spec 964 series would make it easy.

I would keep the interior stock and model the class after PCA stock classes. Open suspension means Motons and ERP. Some people want to drive to the track and home.

 

I like that idea.

 

Perhaps it should be done within the NASA/ GTS Challenge domain.

 

Great, Larry Herman can toss in some interior parts and there goes the neighborhood!
