1967 R Gruppe Porsche 911 912-6 911S at Sears Point Sonoma Raceway

Sorry my phone is smack dab in the middle of the windshield!! Won’t make that mistake again the next time!
Brought out the SWB Short Wheelbase Hotrod to Sears Point for a day at the track with the RetroSporting folks. Most of us were RGruppe or related, and the majority of cars in our run group were from ‘66-‘88, so mostly Porsches with a couple BMW 2002’s and an Alfa GTV, an Alpine, Peugeot, Opel, and maybe one or two others I can’t remember at this time.
Pretty pleased to knock the rust off because it’s been about 2 years since I’ve been on a racetrack and the only thing I’ve done since was inspect the clutch and change the tires, and I’ve probably only put 2-300 miles on in the time since because I barely took it out during covid.
Car is an 1967 RGruppe SWB powered by an Eason Autoworks 2.7 high compression engine, with 40mm PMO carburetors and Electromotive/ coil-on-plug with owner created ignition map. Tires are 195/55-15 Toyo R888R, and suspension is stock ‘67 912 with the exception of heavy duty Bilstein shocks and turbo tie rods modified for SWB (highly recommend the tie Rod upgrade, big difference in steering feel and precision while turning under load). After evaluating how the car felt at Sears, I will likely opt for the addition of a rear swaybar at some point, though the dream would be full adjustable everywhere with coil overs, reinforced rear towers, and a quality LSD … but I could buy another car for that money.

What’s that song … “Comin’ in hot?” Classic lift oversteer, especially when all the weight is in the rear.
