Very fun inexpensive 3 day rally. I did it last year with my brother in the Carrera. Doing it again this year. I see a 914 from OH is already signed up!

79 and earlier vehicles, some exceptions.

3 Days Colorado roads. Route not announced till day of.

$625 covers Hotel and Dinners.

I know rnellums is planning on it and I was too but lots of other plans have popped up and justifying the trip now doesn't make it too convenient. Maybe next year in the 914...?

Yes, Ross and I are both signed up. Neither driving a 914 though

That looks awesome. I need to plan that for next year. I'm already registered this year for several events and I plan to be at Okteenerfest again. I simply don't have enough vacation for all the cool events to attend!

That's a really good deal considering what some of those similiar rallys cost! I've looked into the CopperState 1000 and it is a little longer, but a lot more coin.
Gotta do that someday but if I was coming from IA I wouldn't want to drive the car to Denver!! You'd die of boredom getting across NE!! (the drive from AZ would be a LOT more interesting!)

I am really looking forward to this! I'll be driving the 67 Mercedes 230S I have been working on, but will have the 914 as a backup if I can't finish it in time!

........... not to mention heat stroke

compare that to what the hard-core MG guys do for their annual meet - they organize a coast-to-coast drive with cars of all ages from everywhere including Canada joining the cue - and then they drive back home when it's over https://namgbr.org/events/all-register-mg2016/

my bro drove his '77 MGB from Bakersfield CA to FL, up to NY, to IA, then across NE, WY, NV etc back to BFL - top down the whole way - he was parboiled

me? - 2.5 hrs one way is about all i can handle in a 914 on a summer day - that gets me to Sonoma for the Wine Country Classic (SPIR for old timers), & to Reno for Hot August Nights - wife simply refuses to ride in it - follows me in her Accord if she chooses to go at all

Man I'd go but it seems like I have something planned that weekend . Damned if I can remember what
