Posted by: SharonG Apr 26 2018, 03:14 PM

Join us for Red Rocks Classic!

Hopefully that makes sense. smile.gif

King or double room $109+tax under Porsche 914 group, 970-858-1333. Pets are $10/day extra. Cancel 30 days before RRC (not that you'd do that!) to avoid penalty. The rooms will be held until Aug 7.

T-shirt thread is here! http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=331615

1631 miles. And the wife will be indisposed. Not gonna happen for this one, but next year may be possible.

Posted by: shelby/914 Apr 26 2018, 11:42 PM

I think I'm in. Finally have a running car after several years of down time. Is there trailer parking? Although it would certainly make it, might have to trailer out if the wife comes. She likes things like A/C, Quieter ride, etc.

That's great news, Danny! Yes, there's a lot next to the hotel where you can park your trailer. It's a big lot so the manager said we can park a lot of trailers.

Mechanically inclined people talk to me. 2.0 with great running Dellortos. At 620 feet MSL. How will these carbs react to that altitude. Will I need to rejet half way up the mountain ?

Just tried to make reservations and the desk jockey said he didn't have our group up and he wanted to charge me more - then recommended I call back when the group is set up otherwise I wouldn't get the discount. Kind of a jerk about it too... ask for anyone except Cory.... dry.gif

There was actually an issue with the group reservation. I hope it's fixed now. Thanks for letting me know! beerchug.gif

My Weber 44 idf carbs are jetted for sea level. The highest I have had my car was Sandia peek in New Mexico. That was 10'600 ft above sea level. It started fine and ran OK as long as I kept the revs up a bit when idling. YMMV. biggrin.gif

My experience...

My Raby 2270cc four w/dual 44 IDF carbs are also tuned for sea level. A few weeks ago while driving @ 7,000 ft (Flagstaff, AZ) they started acting funny but like Elliot said, just keep the Rev's up and you should be okay.
I honestly didn't consider the high altitude prior to Route 66 event and glad I didn't field rejet.

My back up was having mgp4591 (Mike) help me out poke.gif

Posted by: bandjoey May 14 2018, 08:11 PM

I’ve got two Subies in the driveway. Fairly economical car with AWD that keeps the kids safe. Wife drives a BMW Xdrive, me? Big old truck for a daily.

I’m talking about jcd914. In the more than a decade I’ve known him, he’s only had one running 914. He sold it. He's got a nice roller and all the parts he needs so... happy11.gif

I should have my 914 running by then but I have said that before.
I made great progress the last few months trying to get it together for WCR but I still have a way to go.

As far as Red Rocks, I'll be at Laguna Seca in Monterey that weekend for the races. Campsite and tickets paid for last November, if I don't pay in advance they won't hold my site year after year.

It is an event I want to do and I really like the locations this year.

It is more a social event that my wife and I have been doing for years.
Our little group now have 4 adjacent campsites that overlook part of the corkscrew.
A lot of food and drink and my wife likes it, which is important.

I plan to do RRC sometime soon but it is a bit farther than WCR has been for us.

I plan to be there but only if my car is done. No good reason it shouldn't be. Barring me saying screw it all & deciding to go with a different motor entirely. I keep changing & upgrading stuff. Shouldn't be anything else but straight cash going out of my pocket blink.gif . Would be a little easier to swallow if my truck didn't just blow a hole in it's block. Would sure be nice to drive my 914 right now dry.gif

Shouldn't be anything else but straight cash going out of my pocket blink.gif . Would be a little easier to swallow if my truck didn't just blow a hole in it's block. Would sure be nice to drive my 914 right now dry.gif



really sorry about your truck
that really sucks!

Suggestion from a local for a day-long road trip, mostly on two lane, all paved. Fruita to Gateway on I-70/141 with a stop at the world class auto museum at Gateway Canyons Resort. On to Naturita on the 141 Scenic Byway, then 90/46 to Paradox CO and LaSalle UT. Up 191 to Moab, then the River Road (128) to Cisco and I70 back to Fruita.
That'll get folks their UT fix and if you can't see enough Red Rocks, you're hopeless.

Excellent! It is beautiful country. Different kind of beauty than good old Oregon. Drives are great & besides being in Moab. It isn't as crowded everywhere

Hey Matt - I'm leaving Phoenix on Sept 10th for Okteenerfest and taking a southern route to meet others in DFW. Planned overnight stops in El Paso, DFW, Livingston, AL (Barber Motorcycle Museum visit), arriving in Helen on Sept 13th.
Leaving Helen on Sept 16 with stops in Vicksburg MS, Abilene, and El Paso arriving back in Phx on Sept 19th. Have you decided what route you're taking?
