Saturday late afternoon September 26, we are having a meet and greet "Alle 914 Treffen" at our MSDS exhibit in the merchant vendor row, space#7.
There will be a pit row concourse going on from 4-6pm, so as the race day wraps up, come on over and mingle with all of the 914 folk. Bench racing, HP bragging rights, all stories are welcome

Posted by: 914_teener Sep 13 2015, 10:21 PM

No more corral left I am told.

Thanks Marty....I.ll ne sure to stop by.

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 14 2015, 12:39 AM

Porsche might be up to more car-corral parking.
Mgmt. wants all of our vehicles out of the general vendor merchant area, each day at 8am. Might be that they found more space
Looking forward to seeing everyone

Is that map available on-line somewhere?

Posted by: Ferg Sep 14 2015, 09:14 AM

Cool, thanks for organizing something.

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 14 2015, 03:43 PM

AFAIK the entire map is available right now to vendors and included in our paperwork.
I did notice the 914 corral (corral #1) near the merchant vendor area, has 32 914s . Boxsters beat us with over 100 in their corral, but someone at Laguna Seca spelled it Boxter Corral ??

Looking forward to meeting folks in person. It was fun to meet folks at Amelia Island get together last March, so let's have a great turnout!

Hope to see you, Marty. Will definitely stop by, but will also try to make this depending on the schedule.

For those looking for a corral spot, I've got a friend with one corral pass he's selling at cost. PM me if interested, but only if you're an end-user.

Thanks!

Cars will back in the flatlands, but we're flying into San Jose on Thursday and making a short vacation out of our trip out west.

Posted by: jeffdon Sep 14 2015, 10:05 PM

914 corral is a great location, actually. Real short walk to the paddocks, where all the good stuff is.

And look how much less space is allocated to us vs the 911 crowd. Our cars must be getting quite rare!

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 14 2015, 10:10 PM

Safe happy travels George, plenty good times ahead in Monterey.
Gute Reise ¡
Marty

Looking forward to this!

Posted by: JStroud Sep 15 2015, 11:54 AM

I'm not able to go because of my health, I've got a three day admission and paddock plus a 914 corral parking pass if anyone can use them.

PM me if interested, hate to see them go to waste.

I'm thinking about hosting a lunch or dinner from my RV. Any interest?

Posted by: 914_teener Sep 17 2015, 06:11 PM

Sounds great.....I am bringing my son for Sat and Sunday.

Rob S.

Posted by: 914_teener Sep 17 2015, 06:12 PM

Let me know what I can bring in....or contribute

Posted by: jim_hoyland Sep 17 2015, 07:50 PM

Would lunch work better, since we could walk over ? Sounds good, I can bring stuff too.

Posted by: RobW Sep 17 2015, 08:22 PM

I've got everything needed to cook dogs and drink beers. I can hit Costco. Depending on the number of people I may pass the hat so I can break even on the food. I'm between jobs...

Posted by: RobW Sep 17 2015, 08:24 PM

You can bring anything you want. I have a fridge and will be solo Thursday PM to Sat AM.

Posted by: 914-300Hemi Sep 17 2015, 10:04 PM

Sounds great let me know if we need to bring anything.

Posted by: Dtjaden Sep 17 2015, 10:19 PM

Up for any get togethers.

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 17 2015, 10:50 PM

See you at the MSDS exhibit Rob ¡

Posted by: jcd914 Sep 18 2015, 02:06 AM

It would be fun to get together, where you camped at?
I'm my campsite is on the far side overlooking the corkscrew.
I'd be happy to contribute food or beer or a helping hand.

Just above turn 5

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 18 2015, 11:42 AM

I spy a lot of IROCs following a black 914 up to Laguna Seca
Another bit of good news for us fans and friends of SCRAMP, the Nascar group of (would be new) operators of the track have pulled out their offer...gone away, C 'ya !

Posted by: jim_hoyland Sep 18 2015, 06:03 PM

Where will the 914 coral be in relation to turn 5 ?

Posted by: RobW Sep 18 2015, 06:18 PM

I'm pretty sure you can "bullseye a womp rat in your T-16" from there.

Actually, I believe the 914 corral will be between turns 2 and 3.. not far at all.

Posted by: RobW Sep 18 2015, 06:25 PM

You can see turn 5 pretty easily... as 94 sits on top of a hill. I'll open the awning to cover folks.

Posted by: RobW Sep 18 2015, 06:28 PM

I've been hijacking MSDS's post too long here. I'll start another post to comment on activities.

I will definitely be at Marty's tent to see his works and hang out!

Posted by: 914_teener Sep 18 2015, 06:32 PM

Sorry Marty...I know this is your thread...I'm still gonna stop by!



OK....trying to get the "World" banner up there from the WCR as a rally point maybe.

It's not mine but I floated the idea to the powers that be.

Rob

Posted by: jim_hoyland Sep 18 2015, 06:37 PM

me too....

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 18 2015, 08:45 PM

All good Rob, we are keeping our time at 5pm ..."No gig too big/ we jive at five"
Just plan your party before or after...I'll hike up to your campsite...have some fun !¡
Marty

Posted by: wes Sep 18 2015, 08:49 PM

I can bring something or tip hat!

Posted by: campbellcj Sep 18 2015, 10:26 PM

I'm up for a get together as well. I will be camping at turn 5 and can contribute food/drink/cash as needed. Looking forward to meeting all you guys I haven't met before.

Posted by: Heeltoe914 Sep 19 2015, 04:51 PM

I will make sure I get the banner into my car so that we can hang out at the track. If I don't see you on Sunday I will trust that you will mail it back to me directly after the event looking forward to seeing you up there thanks for hosting...

Posted by: ClayPerrine Sep 23 2015, 06:45 PM

Betty and I can bring something, just let us know where to find you.

I hope to meet some of you folks there! I'll come by the MSDS Booth for sure!

Meet and greet getting up to speed

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 28 2015, 01:07 AM

MW showed up for a cold one and shared a couple of stories.
His # 277 was present and repaired nicely from his MN. romp
A cold Coors at Rennsport has a hypnotical effect !

Posted by: RobW Sep 28 2015, 07:13 AM

Marty, thanks for hosting and for being the focal point for 914ers to unite. Hope you sold a boatload of pipes!

Posted by: GeorgeRud Sep 28 2015, 03:10 PM

It was great to finally meet Marty and others in person! However, I felt bad that Marty, Eric Shea, and some other vendors had to spend their time at their booths instead of being able to see the rest of the Rennsport activities.

Looking forward to the next one! Laguna Seca was great, but I wonder if Barber Motorsports Park (close to PCNA's home base) or perhaps COTA in Austin may also be alternatives?

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 28 2015, 09:52 PM

I'll post up a few more this week, it was a great event; Porsche overload to say the least ! We introduced some new exhaust products, met 100s of customers+friends old +new...can't wait for Renn6
Put the beast on the trailer , this party is a wrap ¡
Marty

Posted by: naro914 Sep 29 2015, 10:06 AM

Hey Marty
sorry we didn't make the meet and greet - completely slipped our mind until we were just outside the gates!! But great to finally meet you.
so much to see, so much to do...

Posted by: Mugs914 Sep 29 2015, 11:28 AM

Hey Marty, it was great to meet you officially! I was the Scrutineer for the PCA group and that kept me pretty busy for most of the weekend. So much so that I barely got back over to the vendor island.

REALLY sorry I had to miss the meet n greet. I hope everyone had a good time.

Oh, and the Baker 914 ran great all weekend! We had to make a shift linkage adjustment on Friday and raise the front ride height a bit to keep from bottoming at the Corkscrew. Other than that it was tire pressures and gas!

It was great to see those of you that I DID get to see. Can't wait for the next one!

Edit to say that I've got a few pics to post once I get them downloaded. I'll put 'em up here, if you guy don't mind...

Cheers,

Mugs

Posted by: Mugs914 Sep 29 2015, 11:32 AM

The guy in the middle is Brent Knoll who was the other Scrutineer for the PCA group. He has Dave Rodenroth's old 914 roadster race car and is getting it prepped for the track. He also runs a SP1 944.

Sorry, just figured an intro was in order...

Mugs

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 29 2015, 03:39 PM

Mugs...definitely post the Wayne Baker yellow schoolbus pictures (+others) 914 here ! I do remember speaking to Brent about a new MSDS exhaust part for the 944 spec racers...it just kicked in
Our black six was also constantly being scrutineered by these Porsche factory guys. On overhearing one of them viewing the engine, it was something like "Holy scheiss" !
They are definitely gearheads like all of us
Marty

Posted by: Olympic 1.7 Sep 29 2015, 03:53 PM

Great picture

BTW is the guy on the right Max Headroom ??

Posted by: '73-914kid Sep 29 2015, 04:53 PM

That would be Derrick and Eric, my coworkers at PMNA. Both are very experienced with 962s and 935s.

Posted by: Jeff Hail Sep 29 2015, 06:10 PM

Marty,

You know you made it when the factory guys check out what ya got in das boot.

(Holy scheiess translates to : "This American and his old 914 might be a problem for us. What if he does this to a modern Porsche and we have no 935s in storage at the ready to counter him" Quick call the factory".

Harold and Ferry would be proud of you.



Jeff

Taking the kids out to Rennsport ( or any car gathering) will usually change their lives forever. Car culture is alive and well at Rennsport for all ages. I had to really be up on my tech answers for Dominic's kids questions

Jeff...this looks like Ferry Porsche's visit to the PCA Parade in San Diego about 30 years ago. Harald von K did some amazing things to that Kremer 9146gt. The guys that put it back to original Kremer livery had their work cut out for them as well
You can chat with Harald on Linkedin

There should be a large assortment of Porsches showing up for the Petersen C + C, Sherwood is bringing his group in from La Crescenta. All we need now is good weather

Sorry to have missed you, Marty...

Hopefully our day will come yet. Too cool about the factory guys, but I knew that would be the case. "A flat fan in ze 914? Ah, zuper!"

Posted by: RobW Oct 5 2015, 12:35 PM

He was. Came by the RV on Friday PM and saw him on Sat PM at Marty's.

Posted by: 914_teener Oct 5 2015, 01:03 PM

Happen to see Leamon....sat down right next to me. Saw my WCR shirt from earlier this year.

Never made it over to Rob W's campsite. Between getting to Salinas at Sat Morning about 1 AM....so much to see! Went with my son whom haven't seen in a while...we had a blast.

Sorry for those I didn't get to see. I left really late Fri.

Thanks for the welcome Marty and sorry Rob.
