No, I don't think I've ever seen that car before and I can't read what it says about it.

The poster says 914/6 but it lacks the GT flares. According to the Brumos site, Brumos only ran two 914/6 cars in 1970 - #19 and #59. I don't know where the #5 comes from, but I guess we are looking for something like this: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads...1165459321.jpg The Brumos poster says it was driven by Pete Harrison. I found this at Classic Motorsports magazine Datsun and Triumph lobbied hard to keep the 914 out of their classes, but Hoppen had an effective bargaining chip to play: If the SCCA would let the 914-6 run in C Production, and the 914-4 run in E Production, Hoppen would concentrate his efforts there instead of spending another year dominating the under-two-liter Trans-Am category with his much-hated 911s. The SCCA agreed. Hoppen’s plans for the 914-6 called for three factory teams. Each factory-sponsored team would get $50,000 and cars to run for the season. In the East, he selected Peter Gregg of Brumos, while the Midwest effort would be headed by Art Bunker, Bob Hindson and Kendall Noah. In the West, Hoppen gave the nod to VW-Pacific under Richie Ginther. However, VW-Pacific demanded triple the original cash figure, since they were to do all the development. The negotiations caused such a delay that Ginther went his own way rather than waiting for a decision. Results for the season were mixed. In the Midwest, Bunker posted six SCCA national wins, co-driver Noah got three more wins, and the CP 914-6 Midwest team was on their way to the season-ending Runoffs. In the East, things weren’t going as well. Gregg and co-driver Pete Harrison took a number of seconds and thirds, but only two more wins for the 914-6. According to this link, Pete Harrison only drove a 914/6 in 1970 and it was car# 66. (which conflicts with the Brumos site info) http://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/results/Pete-Harrison-USA.html And Peter Gregg's 914/6 was #59 in both 1970 & 1971 http://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/results/Peter-Gregg-USA.html Again, no #5. Lot's of conflicting info..... |
It’s configured like what they make us run in vintage racing, the number really hit home.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1300822482.jpg

In fact, the only 914/6 wearing #5 that I can find in any significant race was in 1971 and driven by Duval / Nicholas / Bailey in the 24h Daytona. Which brings us back to the GT that I posted earlier.

"Rendering of significant Brumos Porsche race cars as driven by Peter Gregg"
Again, that just doesn't add up. According to the racingsportscars.com database, Gregg never drove a "significant" #5 car. It must have been his weekend autox car. ;) http://www.bkl-a.com/accurate.jpg |
