It's going to be Party Time on the Monterey Peninsula! Rennsport VI is next month. Just got this Corral parking map (tentative...could change) as well. A good day + time for our 914World members to have a cold one at our MSDS kiosk in the merchant row is on Saturday 9/29/18, 5 PM. Join us , meet old friends and meet new 914/ Porsche gearheads !

not to be a "downer", but that's about same location as at RRV - dusty as hell - overnites result in salt-fog added to the gritty dust, = "mud"

do not even think about using a car duster to try to keep it looking showy nice all day - it will just scratch your paint

if you do put your car in the corral - please post some owner-tech info on it - maybe a show poster, so we know what we are looking at & why it's "special"

i have many pics of 914s at RRV corral & have no idea what was special about them, nor who owns them

i did not find RRv to be a satisfying "show your car" experience; others may disagree

...I'm not affiliated with the corrals, just a mfg exhibiting in a tent for the duration of Renn6. The new sponsorship of (the former Mazda ) LS raceway is WeatherTech, maybe they will step up the quality of the parking lots ¿¿ I dig the corrals, but I know the pain of keeping the 914 clean on a dusty tarmac

Looking forward to this year's meet up!

As this will be my first rennsport and I will be coming from the flyover states, help me out with what to expect, what not to miss, what is must see.

I will not be able to bring either of my cars so I will have plenty of time to wish and want.

Posted by: Mueller Aug 7 2018, 07:30 PM

I've washed my 914 twice in the last 2 years...not afraid of a little dirt : )

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Aug 7 2018, 08:29 PM

At Rennsport just aim + point for the main Porsche mfg exhibit tent. Walk around and take it all in. If you can bring some of your Porsche coffee table books>> bring 'em as there are lots of special drivers, tuners, and celebs around , and get your books / posters signed. Then hit the Hot pits and catch major historic and current day racecars. Hike up to the corkscrew and watch the races. Having fun yet ? Stay hydrated, Lots of sunscreen and don't forget to check out all of us vendors on the Merchant row. Before you leave the Monterey area for home...grab lunch at the In-n-Out in Salinas...just a bit east of the LS raceway. Have fun...Repeat as necessary !

Everything he said! Wear a hat. Keep your head on a swivel; you can be walking along and all of a sudden realize Derek Bell or somebody equally as famous is right next to you. Hike up from the bottom (or down from the top) to the Corkscrew sign to take your picture with it. EVERYbody is friendly and EVERYbody is happy to talk cars with you. You will find something(s) on vendor row that you just have to have.

Your the man Marty! Thanks for the prelim map and the offer to meet up.

Saturday 5 ish should work. Looking forward to it! Should be fun as this is my second time there but first time with my car.

Posted by: horizontally-opposed Aug 7 2018, 10:58 PM

Marty, hope to see you there, and 000 will also be exhibiting. Question for you...did they supply the astroturf or was that you? Anyone and everyone is welcome to stop on by the 000 booth as well!

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Aug 8 2018, 12:15 AM

Pete...I'll check my LS invoice, but I'm sure that with each tent you receive ; 110v a/c power (40 amp), green turf ...I'll DM you in a few

Posted by: Steve Aug 9 2018, 08:51 AM

Saturday sounds good.

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Aug 11 2018, 11:19 AM

Cool Jim, it will be good to catch up with you... See you up North !

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Aug 19 2018, 07:25 PM

Hey everyone...Ive just updated this thread's header for the Rennsport VI Meet & Greet.

Saturday 9/29/18 5:00 pm at our MSDS exhibit (space #8) on the Merchant Row....See you all there !

Posted by: Edward Blume Aug 19 2018, 09:48 PM

Looking forward to seeing you all again. Need another car to display?

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Aug 19 2018, 10:33 PM

Only have a 20 x 20 space...enough for an MSDS 914 and a small display of product; whatcha' bringing Edward?

Posted by: Edward Blume Aug 20 2018, 09:26 AM

Either Dad’s car or the ABM..... last time while I was talking to you Magnus walked by and I met Clay and Betty. Hopefully we see lots of 914 folks.

Posted by: Betty Aug 20 2018, 04:03 PM

We'll be there! Had a good time at the last Rennsport and we're looking forward to it again.

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Aug 20 2018, 05:49 PM

Must have been the ice chest full of Colorado Koolaid...I didn't have any type of hipster traps in the MSDS tent...but glad to have Mr. Walker stop in for a cold one

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Aug 20 2018, 05:58 PM

Should be a good meet up Betty and Clay, during the cool part of the day... perfect for kickin' back a bit !

Posted by: AZBanks Aug 21 2018, 11:23 AM

See you there at 5

Posted by: michael7810 Aug 27 2018, 05:20 AM

Ditto

Posted by: Robnxious Aug 27 2018, 08:44 AM

This will be my first Rennsport, so I am looking forward to it. Definitely will be by your booth to say Hi and meet you Marty. I won't be bringing my car, since this was more of a last minute thing (forgot that I was supposed to meet a friend who was going to a Porsche reunion, bought tickets and room for Rennsport, and find out he was talking about Werks!! DOH!).

Anyway, got a quick question. I am staying in town, does anyone know if there are shuttles going from Monterrey to the track, or am I looking at Uber?

Thanks and I look forward to meeting a lot of you there

Posted by: Dominic Aug 27 2018, 02:50 PM

Thanks for sharing the corral parking map...I'm happy to see we are all parked on the pavement again!
We will see you on Saturday!

If you are interested, here are some videos and photos from previous Rennsport Reunions:

http://p914-6info.net/Events.htm

Traffic getting into the track each morning is pretty bad. The CHPS directing traffic did a pretty bad job of this at the last one.

From my point of view, these events are just a 3 day orgasms. Everywhere you look there is something outstanding, amazing, incredible. Not just cars in the event, but the stuff in the paddock and parking lots and the people walking around. At the last one in 2015, I was standing in the Chopard Heritage tent trying to figure out who owned the Porsche Indy car when a guy comes up to me and together we were trying to figure this out. My son walks up and gives me a look like 'Dad, what are you doing'. I turned and looked and the guy I was talking to was Vern Schupan, Former 956 driver and LeMans winner. Of course I got a couple pictures of the 2 of us.

Posted by: Dominic Aug 28 2018, 03:25 PM

For all those who are traveling from afar with your 914 to attend the Rennsport Reunion, please let us "Nor Cal locals" know if you need any parts or tools to repair your cherished ride should the need arise.
I will depart my home on Thursday the 27th of September and will be at the track Friday morning. If you let me know before hand, I will do my best to help!

Cheers,
Dominic

Posted by: Dominic Aug 28 2018, 03:47 PM

I think the bus will get you there on a weekday, but not the weekend from what I can see. I don't know of any other shuttles, unless the hotel you are staying at offers one (track is not far from the airport). Once you get to the paddock, you can catch rides around the track in a new Porsche SUV courtesy of PCNA...no more hiking up to the corkscrew :-)

Looking forward to seeing everyone, and so is this guy!

Hopefully my car will make it from Florida. The trip is a little under 3k miles one way. I've found I can do about 4k intervals on valve adjustments before they start getting noisy. Oil is usually still pretty clean at this point, but that's when I change it. Maybe we should have a valve adjustment party? I should have all the tools (and beer) except for a pair of jack stands.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Sep 4 2018, 04:03 PM

I Will be visiting too;and Meng Foong is coming to RSR from Singapore. He a 914-6 owner / 914World Porsche guy. I know he will want to meet you

I'm planning to drive down Friday AM from Pleasanton if there's others going as well.

Posted by: Socalandy Sep 4 2018, 09:29 PM

I finally acquired a corral pass but for section 8 and all the 914’s are in 1.

Can’t wait!!!

Posted by: wes Sep 4 2018, 09:44 PM

Planning to leave Ukiah Thursday late morning.

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 4 2018, 11:26 PM

Looking forward to seeing you there Jim ( and Meng)... I have read about Meng's RHD six ...sounds very unique ! They say that Singapore is a FINE city; there is a $$$ fine for all sorts of things over there

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 4 2018, 11:30 PM

Extra cold beers for Dominic ..looks like you will be the furthest travelling 914 to Rennsport6
Safe journeys

Posted by: oldschool Sep 5 2018, 12:37 AM

I may try this out?

Posted by: RoadGlue Sep 5 2018, 02:32 PM

We'll plan on being there and thanks for hosting!

Posted by: Wyvern Sep 5 2018, 04:32 PM

Sending you a PM ...

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 5 2018, 08:45 PM

Look forward to having some Colorado Cool Aid (COORs !) with all my buds

Posted by: jeffdon Sep 5 2018, 08:59 PM

I got new heads and new pistons and cylinders coming. Hope to have it together next week.

Down to the wire!

Posted by: MJHanna Sep 6 2018, 06:51 PM

Just got my tickets and corral pass for lot 5
Driving out again in the 914-6 twin plug. I can't wait to feel the Porsche overload again

I will be coming up also, probably driving north with Steve and Keith.

Maybe more guys, we'll see.

Marty, you might need a bigger tent.....?

Just sayin'

Posted by: Mueller Sep 6 2018, 08:27 PM

We'll be there....wife, the twins and myself

I have a 4 day pass, is it worth going Thru and Fri?
(Sat and Sunday pass for the wife, the girls are free)

I paid for a Parade lap however I won't have a P=car to drive, no big deal for me but I'd like to find rides for the wife and the twins (slight protest from them not wanting to ride with a stranger! )

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 6 2018, 09:34 PM

No problem Lawrence...we just spill out into the Merchant Row a bit...a slower pedestrian pace in that area at 5pm ...all good !¡

Posted by: EdwardBlume Sep 7 2018, 06:27 AM

I camped there last time Thursday through Sunday. Thursday was just exciting from a track view perspective I walked around to set up booths but nothing really happens. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday yes. By Sunday, we had seen everything twice, but the corkscrew at first light with old cars coming out of the fog was really cool.

Bring ear plugs, water, sunscreen and chairs.

Posted by: VegasRacer Sep 8 2018, 02:00 AM

Yippie. I got my Admission Ticket and Corral Parking Pass in the mail today.

Posted by: Robnxious Sep 8 2018, 09:59 AM

The wife and I will be there for Saturday (getting in later on Friday night, and leaving Sunday AM). I would think that Thursday and Friday would be fantastic days to go Mike, since there SHOULD be smaller crowds those days, since a lot of people will probably be like me (weekend attendees)

I won't have mine there either. I think the hot start issue is fixed (testing it today), but figured discretion is the better part of valor and leaving it at home. I'll see you there, I'd say beers on me, but I believe Marty said he had that covered

Posted by: Steve Sep 23 2018, 08:33 PM

Can't wait!!

Posted by: MATTYLITE Sep 24 2018, 05:43 PM

As you can tell by my "5 AM haven't slept since last week got to meet this deadline" face, we're looking forward to meeting with all of you at this year's Rennsport Reunion, and are especially looking forward to the 914 World meet up at our tent on merchant row this Saturday 9/29 at 5:00 pm.

We will have beverages and cool tunes playing

I'll be wearing my 914 Guru hat ....

Posted by: MichiganMat Sep 24 2018, 10:00 PM

Really looking forward to it. I got to meet MSDS 4 (?) years ago at a Rennsport and we talked about building a 914, and here its 2018 my car is all finished up and waiting on registration. Time flies when you're building cars. Can't wait to see the new MSDS build, thing is monster, its everything I love about this hobby.

My brother and I will be bringing our STi-powered 912 to the show. See you there!

Posted by: Ecke Liebhaber Sep 25 2018, 06:19 AM

I'm looking forward to meeting some new 914 enthusiasts.

Be sure to check the schedule of events, dont miss your favorite driver if there is a chance to hear some stories. Amazing group of racers and race cars to be there.

Vrooom

Posted by: ClayPerrine Sep 25 2018, 12:34 PM

I am going to steal that hat, Because your 914 is not a real NARP. It has a Honda engine in it.

Posted by: Mueller Sep 25 2018, 12:57 PM

Unless I'm sitting down you won't be able to reach it

This is the original hat, I guess I performed a reverse Bruce Jenner on it

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Sep 25 2018, 10:04 PM

Some kind of pilgrimage starting to gravitate here on the Monterey Peninsula

Posted by: wes Sep 26 2018, 12:53 AM

I’m leaving Ukiha, Northern California 8:00 am Wednesday morning with a few stops along the way plan to arrive at Laguna Seca around four pm.
My second time out after to to long refreshing her!
Really looking forward to meeting, not often you see a 914 in my corner of the world or even some one who knows what a 914 is. I haven’t gotten to the point of trusting yet, that’s her on the trailer behind the truck.

Posted by: wes Sep 26 2018, 12:59 AM

Well that’s her of the trailer and cover off.

Posted by: MATTYLITE Sep 27 2018, 01:28 AM

Guys, we're stoked to see you all for the G2G on Saturday.

We've spent all day setting up, and can't wait to show you our build in person from tomorrow, onward.
