Hi Gregg-

Thanx for the update. It truly looks like the 914/6 found a good home, she seems to be in her element. I really appreciate you keeping me in the loop. Is it O.K, to forward these to my friend to post on his 914/6 GT website? I think it would be cool to continue the saga of your car. Did you know that Ralph Meany supplied many of the parts and technical information on building that car? In any case keep the updates coming, I really enjoy them.

Bernie,

I thought I would update you on the 914-6 that I purchased from Ed Fitzpatrick.
I can only do 3-4 races a year- gotta work! Our most recent outing had us winning the Mid Ohio overall enduro and fastest time. I started on the pole for the sprint race but I quickly fell back since I did not have RAIN tires- that was a thrill! The Alfas all had full rains and promptly took advantage of them. I figured that I had to have a FIRST rain race. Almost put it in the barriers.

I did the Mitty this year but withdrew after test day-overheating and copper in the oil filter screen! The other 914-6 in our group took 1st overall in that race beating EFR in his 914-6.

Here are the photo links. I also attached some photos.
