Hope I've got a running 914 by then! But you can count me in as well. Unfortunately my Photoshop skills aren't great, or I'd offer to help.

It's a long way off but if I complete some work then I'm in. Camping? You have that much room in your back yard? If my tents a shakin then don't come a knockin.

Rates?

Who's cooking?

As long as there's a place to then I'm good

Looking forward to Daytona, and since it coincides with the HSR weekend maybe you could stage a 914 show infield?
Last year it was the Ford Mustang club... it would be great to see a bunch of Porsches.

Good luck getting permission for a track lap. Best bet: work something out with HSR.

Series 9 has that much room in the back yard, and it's stumbling distance from the DZ bar.

40 Sounds fine. Is there an address I can refrence for lodging? I wanna be very close and I'm gonna need choose wife approved lodging lol I'm a sad sad man but if that's all it takes to keep her involved and accepting of my hobby then so be it.

Posted by: rick 918-S Feb 16 2012, 03:57 PM

There is a Holiday Inn and a Comfort Inn 2 miles away. Both list rooms at under $ 90.00 a night. Joe do you have a suggestion for a host hotel for the non camping kids?

Posted by: Series9 Feb 19 2012, 07:43 AM

OK, I'm collecting money.

Here's the advantage to paying early: If I decide the entry fees need to be higher, those who have paid will be grandfathered in at the current price.



Mail checks to:

Series 9
1403 Flightline Blvd, Unit 10
DeLand, FL 32724

or

PayPal: joe@914rs.com



When you pay, please include your shirt size and color choice.

Posted by: Series9 Feb 19 2012, 07:50 AM

Here's an example of the embroidered work shirts from the Atomic Ramble in 2007.

They were optional for that event, but I'm making these included in the entry fee for the TR.

Here's the latest:


The AX portion of the event has hit some cones. The DeLand Airport is interested in ending motorsports on the field. To that end, they are not granting new applications to use the AX runway. After speaking with the organizations that are still currently grandfathered to use the facility, they have all told me that the pavement has become very deteriorated. Each group is looking for a new place to run because the city won't fix the asphalt.

We have two possibilities here, find another place to run or find something else to do for that portion of the event.


Since I recently purchased a boat, I'm considering setting up a trip to (Google:) Disappearing Island out in Ponce Inlet for all of us. My only concern would be the possibility of cool weather in early November for a water-based event.

More to follow......

Posted by: Al Meredith Jun 7 2012, 07:20 PM

Something to think about ! I plan to attend in November, I have Three options, hotel in DeLand, Time share in Daytona, or drive the RV down and park in camping area. The reason for bringing up the RV is I can bring down from the Atlanta Area , people without a car, engine from Jake Raby, large parts. I can only tow one car, mine, but can tote a lot of stuff in a 32' class A . Any thoughts?

Posted by: CG-914 Jul 2 2012, 05:22 PM

Sorry for not getting back so long!

I still have to fix my engine after a wannabe "rebuilt" it...

But another member here is more than helping me and the chances are good, so I might make it to Daytona

Where is the price now? (plus +one)

Posted by: ThePaintedMan Jul 10 2012, 03:57 PM

I can confirm that I'll be there for sure. But I have one request. Can I ride (or drive) in someones car for just a few minutes at some point? As much fun as I have had driving mine off and on, I have yet to ride in a well sorted car. A bonus would be a 2.0 or even a six (T.C. has officially sold both his before I got a chance to ride). Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Posted by: Madswede Jul 10 2012, 04:52 PM

There will be two 914 RS O'Brien specials there, and I'm sure James will have his six there if he goes. The problem will be finding enough space to run 'em out a bit, but I'm sure Joe will come up with something. Looks like we won't be able to use the runway for real fun, so being on the streets means we gotta avoid any issues with the po-po.

Quite frankly, I'm going to be scared of my car. I'll be trying to learn how to handle it in just a few days.

T.C., I'm not talkin about GT parts now, you know I'm not in your league Its not a necessity or a hurry, I was just thinking since we'll all be there anyway, it would be convenient to pick one up then if someone was trying to get rid of some stuff, rather than me have to ship it across country. Next time I'm over hanging out, it'd be cool to see whatcha got. Thanks man! Can't wait till Nov....

I put in for the time off, just don't know if I can afford it. Besides, Bill will probably have the only 914 I'd drive that far right now. Can I come in it's cousin?

I will make a decision by this weekend.

Posting from Team NARP Headquarters. This trip was a little short, sorry I can't make it at this time. Betsy said I could fly, but she also said I could drive. Well if my flight lasts as long as my drive I'll be in a parachute somewhere just west of Phoenix.

Posted by: Madswede Nov 1 2012, 12:20 PM

Bummer Joe, but I can understand. That's a helluva trip - takes all day just flying now that a certain airline canceled their non-stop between ABQ and Orlando. Couldn't imagine how long from Huntington. EDIT: re-reading, it looks like you might have had mechanical issues west of PHX ...? Not fun.

Well what can I say...The Tropical Ramble is in full swing and we are having a blast! Joe had a quick drivers meeting this morning for us and we were off to Daytona International Speedway for the HSR Races by 8:30am. The time we had at the track was fantastic. TC got EFR (Elliott Forbes-Robinson) to come by and take a group photo with us. This was very cool for everyone and had a special meaning for my wife and I. I worked on a IMSA team back in 1987 (Primus Motorsports) and EFR was one of our drivers at Daytona, Sebring and the Miami GP along with Chris Kneifel and Brian Redman. Here are a bunch of pics. First we were at the track and then it was on to Hidden Treasures...a waterfront eatery and bar. Captn Joe then picked us up at the dock and took us over to disapperaing Island...This is a cool sandbar at Ponce Intlet looking out to the Atlantic.

One pic was taken today with EFR and my wife Leslie. The other pics are from back in the day at Primus Motorsports...some cool shots with EFR and Redman. Havin the chance to talk with EFR today was very cool....It was the first day of driving my 6 conversion and he told me all about the subtle modifications he made to his 1970 914/6 just after he bought it back in 1970...that was incredible! Can't wait to get back behind the wheel for day 2 of the Tropical Ramble tomorrow!!

Great pictures! Just a little trivia note. I first met EFR at Glendale College in CA. He was taking the same classes as I in the A&P course in 1965. He drove up in his 289 Cobra to show us his new ride.

Posted by: SLITS Nov 10 2012, 02:07 PM

If you see EFR again, ask him about CASOC.

Oh yeah just throw TC out of the plane without a chute, he's so full of hot air that he floats... good luck TC with the jump.......LOL

My wife and I had such a great time at the Tropical Ramble.

Joe and Series 9 had it perfectly organized, every activity was really fun and worth
doing. There was plenty of time for everything and we never felt rushed.

My wife was worried it would be all guys but there were a lot of women and
she had a great time. Tell your wives and girlfriends that for next year.

We are ready to do it again next weekend.

What a fantastic time!

I'm so happy with our sponsors and restaurants for having everything set up perfectly.


I know there are many more 914 guys in Florida. Next year, I'm shooting for 30 cars.


If you were here, I want your feedback. I'm thinking about moving it back to September for next year so it will be warmer. Of course, then we run the risk of actual tropical weather.....

Posted by: carr914 Nov 12 2012, 11:35 AM

I think the weather this Time of Year is Great. Sept can still be hot as Hell & Hurricanes can definately come in.

The fact that we had it the same weekend as a HSR Vintage Race in Daytona was definately a good bonus. I just led the guys straight to the Track, but I'm sure that you could have made a good Road Trip on off-beat roads.

Posted by: KENNY Nov 12 2012, 12:18 PM

The time was perfect . Thanks Joe I had a good time. Can't wait to next year the cooler the better.

Posted by: FourBlades Nov 12 2012, 06:12 PM

Everything we did was great and I would keep it all for next year.

I liked the cooler weather as well.

If a lot of people come on Thursday next year that would be nice because it would
be longer. Time to just hang out and talk with no events on thursday would be nice.

The HSR tie in was a highlight for me.

Seeing and hearing 120 skydivers link up into a giant formation right over Series 9
was awesome too. The sound of 120 people free falling was like a jet engine running
and then seeing them peel off in all directions to open their chutes was amazing.

Though I didn't make it till late Friday night and missed the HSR stuff and island, I have to say that the best part would still have been meeting all of you. I enjoyed hearing each of your stories of not only your cars, but your lives. Bill's engineering prowess and over ten years of tweaking was evident with his beautiful car along with his wife's patience and love, Brian's work to get his car running by Thursday and his wife's sense of humor, Joe and Megan's carefree attitude and willingness to go out of their way to accommodate us, Kenny's great smile and genuine interest in everyone else's cars, Bob and Greg for bringing a Georgia state of mind, James and his immaculate car and love for racing, Paul and T.C., my best buds from Tampa, John and Verena for their graciousness and fun-loving personalities, Jon and his wife and for camping alongside me in the garage and Sean and Nelson for the never-ending controlled chaos.

I wan't to extend a personal thanks to all of you for not only putting up with my work in progress being allowed to sit beside all of your cars, but also for welcoming me with open arms and giving me continued inspiration. I can't count how many times each of you told me "not to quit" and that I was going in the right direction. I can't imagine how someone would want to quit on these cars; with such a great group of people to hang out with, the blood sweat and tears are all worth it.

Can't wait for next year!

We were that close to driving it home.... And we got really good at pulling the swing arm and redoing the cv's.... The Suby part was just a clip that came off from all the other gyrations that we put ir through... Bob figured it out no sooner than we loaded on the trailer!

I had a great time seeing actually running 914 's and yes it really is the people . Hopefully with a little luck my little beastie will be able to show up.. Either way , Porsche support vehicle or with a 914 I'll be there again .

Thanks to all who put in the work and time putting this together.

Posted by: Madswede Nov 13 2012, 01:45 PM

I had a great time! All the events went off without any real hitches (OK, a CV joint or two and a fuel pump failure aside) and seems like everyone had a blast. Kenny saved the day with a new fuel pump. I still say the old one woulda worked if someone had whacked it with a BFH.

It really is all about the folks that go. I had a great opportunity to meet a lot of the Floridians that I don't get a chance to see at the events nearer my home (as in, sub-12-hr drives our states are just too damn big out here).

Some of my favorite highlights:
Boating and grilling (sans utinsils - O'Brien doesn't believe in them for some reason, so there was some extra "ginger" on some of the hot dogs). I'm not gonna say what "SWAG" stands for, or at least what TC thinks it does ... something to do with our conversation. Think you had to be there.

The utterly gorgeous drives to and from Snack Jack's out at Flagler Beach. Thanks to TC for the ride out and thanks to James (ellisor3) for the ride back. By the way, congrats on winning Best in Show James! "Sexy" deserved it!

There were some really gorgeous cars there, let's be clear. It was a very beautiful collection of 914s, one of the best I've seen. The race cars that Paul (URY914) and John (FourBlades) brought were pieces of engineering art - total function over form, especially Paul's - which I voted for for "Best Interior" - it sounds like it is, a real racer. I was too scared to ask to drive it.

Bill's (WLD914) 2.8L water-injected /4 is a screaming monster ... he was keeping up with the RS and James' car without really seeming to care about torturing a poor lil' 901 transmission! He's a really cool guy to hang with too.

John also deserves a special note for actually bringing up his (as in, he MADE it) archtop guitar for me and George (PaintedMan) to bang around on a little bit after dropping off his wife back at home. It's rare to see someone who can not only work on cars but also build guitars, let alone the Hold Grail that is an archtop. Well done sir!

George took his "Worst 914" award (a total award and really his car was by far the best car I've ever seen to win such an award) with good grace and humor - though he tried to "forget" it at one of the beer parlors we visited but I intervened in time. Seriously George, your car was just up against some stiff competition. If Bobby's had still been there it would've taken that award I think.

As the duly-appointed representative of Team NARP, I have to say TC reminded me a lot of Joe Sharp. It's too bad the two of you guys couldn't meet, but that might have precipitated the end of the world to have that much coolness in one place. TC took his plunge out of a perfectly good airplane with grace and aplomb, if not a big side of queasiness. I know exactly how you felt TC, believe me!

Bob (BIGKAT) and Greg (d914) were super-cool to meet and talk to about racing and the benefits of having no qualms about modifying the hell out of your 914. I think Bob was the first one there and he had the furthest to go with a 914. Sorry that CV from my New Mexico yard didn't quite do the trick, but I'm gratified that it helped ... or something.

The "other" Jon, Brian, and your wives I very much enjoyed meeting and talking to. I'm very glad you took lots of pics Brian - I had forgotten my camera back here in NM, and I always "check my brain at the door" of these events, making some memories a little hazier than others ...

Speaking of that, I have to give my friend Sean a little grief here and there for close-talking and, well, just being a riot - that's Sean. I know our mutual NM friends are gonna definitely give him some serious grief for the drunk-dialing he did around 2am FL time. THAT was priceless, and even if I was the only one who witnessed it in FL, I nominate him for the honorary "That Guy" award that we out here in the west know and love from the Red Rocks events.

Well, I've used up my whole lunch break typing this marathon post. It was really great to meet you folks and I hope know this won't be the last time. TR1 was a blast and looks to be a very good event for all Southeastern US 914s to be at.

Last but not least, a big Thanks Joe! It worked out very well! And Megan too for helping (somewhat reluctantly) with the awards announcements, and Kim and Bobby deserve thanks for helping with logistics.

What else can be said? My wife and I had a great time. We're already looking forward to the 2nd annual Tropical Ramble. A Big Thanks to Joe and everyone that attended or helped make it such a success. It was nice to put faces with names. We hope to see everyone again soon. I'm sure this event will grow over the years to come.

I'd also like to publicly thank Kenny for bailing me out with his spare fuel pump during the scenic drive to Flagler Beach. I owe you one! Everyone pitched in to diagnose and repair my car by the side of the road. It ended up to just be a small delay and something to talk about. I wish Bob would've had the same luck with his cv joint.

You were right, FourBlades. I should've bought a new tire before I left Deland. Who would've thought I'd get another flat on the way home Sunday after having one on the way to the Ramble Thursday night. Oh well, I've got two new tires mounted now and a few new road stories. My wife must really love me (or the car).

Maybe I can give George some competition for the "Most Improved" award next year.

I've enjoyed everyone's pics. It really was a great event. Cheers.

Well, I've used up my whole lunch break typing this marathon post. It was really great to meet you folks and I hope know this won't be the last time. TR1 was a blast and looks to be a very good event for all Southeastern US 914s to be at.

Last but not least, a big Thanks Joe! It worked out very well! And Megan too for helping (somewhat reluctantly) with the awards announcements, and Kim and Bobby deserve thanks for helping with logistics.

If you guys do this again it might make a road trip from up North look desirable.

I actulay left the Left coast to come here for the Party. This year I would have to leave the Wright coast to miss it.
Maybe I should help out. Ya think?

Myself, I like the !st thru the 20th. That would bring me up to Thanksgiving and onto another Holiday.
But TC is correct. The HRS at Daytona.
Maybe we should ask the Captain. After all he is our Pilot and is his event.

First of all, I'm looking forward to hanging out with all of my bretheren again. Monica is excited too and I think she's coming with this year.

I'm also really excited about shirts! Joe - where did you order those "garage" shirts from last year? Monica (my personal style guru/fiancee) thinks those look good on me, and I can't seem to destroy that shirt, so I'd like to order some more.

Joe, you can count both me and Monica in. I don't think we'll need to crash on your garage floor this year, but then again, that depends on how many refreshments are being served

I've been holding my Real Thoughts, but this is Fuch'd Up. No Anouncement, No dates, no nothing.

In my mind, Joe hasn't given it the the time of day. I luv you joe, but you have dropped the ball on this one. If I had a running Teener, I would be heading for OkteenerFest, as they have their Shit together.

TR has no Date, No Sponsors, No People committed to coming because there is No Date, No Plan etc.

Joe, you asked for my support last year, but if you don't give a Shit about doing it again, just say so and I'll have a BBQ at my House
