Now that the WCR is over, it time for you to plan your 914 birthday weekend. You can head southeast for Okteenerfest or northwest for the Teener Turnout.

Here's what you can expect in the PNW.

Our Saturday schedule starts with a tech session at the Porsche Dealership in Fife where we'll take a close look at the 914 and the 718. We'll use the shop
space with lifts and examine the cars from top to bottom.

Then we'll take a drive around the south sound and I've been getting lots a help from the local PCA tour crew so we will be traveling fun roads.

The tour ends at a park in Kent where you can join in and celebrate Oktoberfest. We'll be parking the 914s on the paved pathway right in front of the event
so they can be viewed and envied by all the other P car owners. You don't need to
drink beer to have fun at this party although plenty of people will be doing that. Your $25 ticket gets you one beer and
brat. I guarantee you'll be smiling and laughing when Manuela Horn and her band start their show.

Sunday we'll meet up at a local restaurant in Kent for a parking lot car show. I have someone who has promised to create a video of the cars
and their owners. The restaurant offers a great brunch, but if you're not a big eater (or just cheep) you can just order something off the menu too. Lastly,
we'll have a presentation by Mark Greene of Car Yeah This is the guy who designed the Griot's headquarters and he's a Porsche nut to boot. We should be done by 1:30.

If you'd like to get a t-shirt with the logo or a hat, I can help you with
that or I can send you the art. The PCA club will have someone at the Saturday tech session who will make up t-shirts on the spot, if that suits you.

I have set up an account at Motorsportsreg.com where people can register for any or all the session. We use this site to manage events in our region
and it works great. If your thinking of attending, I urge you to sign up using that site, but if you're in fear of "the Web", you can just PM me and I'll put you on the list.
The only cost for any of the activities is for the Oktoberfest and the profits from it go to the Rotary club that sponsors it. I can arrange for you to buy tickets
without using the website, if you'd like.

Here's the site where you sign up.

On Saturday morning we’ll start the day at Porsche of Tacoma who will do a host a tech session where we can compare the 914 to the new 718. Which car will come out on top?

I'm starting to plan out the Saturday morning Tech Session and need someone to volunteer their car. We'll be looking at how the 914 and the 718 are alike and different. I'm looking for a stock car that is as close to original as possible. We'll be putting it up on the lift too, so the cleaner the better. Of course, you'll need to be able to get it down to the dealer in Fife early in the morning too.

Any one willing to step up?

Posted by: PanelBilly May 11 2019, 11:42 AM

I spent two hours with one of the guys who plans tours for our local PCA club studying Google maps and laying out a route for the Saturday drive. So much work. Next he said we need to make the drive about 5 times and tweet it.

Lots of fun roads. At least they look fun from the satellite photos.

Here’s our speaker for the brunch on Sunday morning. His name is Mark Greene and he’s very entertaining. A Porsche guy for
his whole life. You can hear him on his daily podcast Cars Yeah.

Posted by: scallyk9 May 11 2019, 01:31 PM

I can volunteer my '74 CanAm LE for the tech session as it should be out of restoration by then. Totally stock other than 911 starter, Pertronix ignition, and SS heat exchangers. Or use another. No worries.

Yes, PCA and PNWR member, and I also participate in OPR events. I hadn't heard anything about them wanting LEs...oh well, lots of politics in PNWR also. I've done Carillon the last three years.

Can I get a colored box around the thread please?

Also I have the event registered on Motorsportsreg.com now. If you haven’t used the site, you might like to check it out. It’s an easy way to get people signed up for your car related activity. They also promote for you by sending emails out to people who want to receive notices. Our PCA club uses it. For those of you who avoid signing up for yet another “service”, you may simply let me know what parts of the weekend you’d like to attend.

I’ll work on a hotel with motor home parking. So far I have a tech session planed for Saturday morning at the Porsche dealership in Fife. Followed by a tour that ends at the Octoberfest party. Sunday is a car show and breakfast with Mark Greene.

Posted by: rhodyguy May 31 2019, 10:49 AM

Tony, the hotel in Kent is 35 miles or so from Tacoma. Don't take a boat. Drive over the Narrows. If you decide to stay in Tacoma the 'La Quinta Inn' is pretty nice. Left on Portland AVE off of I-5. Close to the Porsche dealership in a round about way. The 'sweet spot' timewise is being thru Tacoma before 3. Traffic congestion goes south rapidly. If you're trailering the 914 the boat will be really expensive and you might need a reservation to get on the one you want. Both ways. Hassle.

Posted by: PanelBilly Jun 2 2019, 10:12 AM

Last weekend I spent most of the day driving the roads we planned out on google earth for the tour. It was a lot more work than I thought. Some of the roads were just too bland and others went thru neighborhoods with too many stop signs. In all we drove 4 hours and 70 miles and now we have to figure out a new plan. The fellow who is helping me has planed many tours and he says it takes about 5 seasons to come up with a plan

Posted by: scallyk9 Jun 2 2019, 11:49 AM

Hey Billy. I had done this for rally/tours for the MG Car Club-Northwest Centre back in the eighties. It's not easy. Your diligence and work on this is greatly appreciated.

Now that the WCR is over, it time for you to plan your 914 birthday weekend. You can head southeast for Okteenerfest or northwest for the Teener Turnout.

Rich confirmed it this morning. I'm fucking nuts! Taking on a new weekend event is like having another job!

The dealership who agreed to host the tech session is eager to provide a venue, but they are much too busy
to sit down and work thru the details. Last week, I waited 25 minutes in their showroom only to find out that
the guy I was meeting with had to run out. The general manager promised me that they would find time to meet again.

On the bright side, Mark Greene has been very helpful. I'm sure everyone who attends the brunch on Sunday morning
will be entertained. He's going to talk about what he has learned after interviewing over 1300 "carguys" (and Gals).

Here's a link to Mark's podcast for those who don't know him
https://carsyeah.com/



Its time to check your schedule and sign up for the fun. NO SEAHAWKS GAME that day. They play on Monday night.

Yes you create an account on Motorsportsreg.com, but it’s harmless. They send you an email once a month listing all the car activities that match your profile. If you’d rather not sign up, I’m happy to register you “offline”

Motorsportsreg was just bought by Hagerty and they’re having problems. I talked to them about the security warnings and they are working on it. Again if you’d like just send me a pm and I’ll show you registered. I have paper tickets for the Oktoberfest that I can put your name on and you can pay me back on the day of the event.

I just got done talking with a tech from the site and they would like to know what problems users are having. I tried registering on three
different browsers with three different computers and they all worked. Hopefully they fixed the issues, but if not, let me know.

Hi Billy,
After reading the thread I’m still interested, what overnight hotels are nearby? Or a central location? I’d be a pussy to trailer my car but may have to fill up twice to get there.
Rocky what’s your plan ???

Posted by: PanelBilly Aug 26 2019, 02:52 PM

If you're coming from out of town I'd recommend you stay at Comfort Inn at 22311 84th Ave S. in Kent. The rooms are nice and the
parking lot is safe. The manage said the best prices are normally found on Expedia, but occasionally on of the other travel sites
beats them. Maybe we can plan a Friday night gathering if there's enough people up for that.

Here's another tease for Oktoberfest

Westport ferry across the Columbia, up hwy's, 4, 101, 107, 112 and 8, then maybe up the 3 and take the ferry across to Seattle.
If anybody in PDX wants to tag along let me know. beerchug.gif

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 1 2019, 06:43 PM

To take a boat to Seattle it's Bainbridge, Bremerton or Southworth. Friday? Check with WA Ferry if a reservation might be required. The days of driving up and just getting on a boat are over during certain runs. Do not take the boat to Edmonds. You'll get to the hotel in about 2 hours during commute. You don't want to be getting off any boat before 7pm.

Thanks for the heads up. Thinking Southworth/Faunterloy just because it sounds sooo gay. grouphug.gif But going to get there early, around 2, (I hope). I know the traffic up there can be as bad as LA.

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 2 2019, 07:55 AM

There was a piece about the ferrys last night on the news RE wait times. 2 weekends ago the wait was up to 3 hours on some sailings. Not a holiday weekend either. If you can get off the boat by 2 traffic shouldn't be too bad. The loop you have planned will take some time.

Ya, thinking 5 - 6 hours to get to the ferry. Did it a couple years ago in the wife's Focus. barf.gif
It was a nice drive, traffic when we got into the civilized areas was mostly headed the other way. Fourth of July weekend too, can't remember what day of the week though. Stayed the night in Bremmerton and caught an early ferry the next am. Hope this trip goes that easy. shades.gif

Can’t wait to see you Greenie, you and Rocky can figure some type of competition to out do each other. sheeplove.gif grouphug.gif

Fuel problem ?
Start replacing the fuel filter, then fuel pump, regulator, fuel lines, then find out you’re just low on fuel. It’s a sending unit problem slap.gif

Another update

On Sunday morning before the brunch 9-11am, Mark Greene will be interviewing people about their cars and I'll have a
professional cameraman there to record it. Mark does this for a living, so I know he'll look good on camera. Will you?

FYI, Tommy Kendall's Dad used to have a 914. We got a chance to talk to him for a little bit at Amelia Island when they had the big 914 display. He's a super nice guy!

Rich confirmed it this morning. I'm fucking nuts! Taking on a new weekend event is like having another job!

On the bright side, Mark Greene has been very helpful. I'm sure everyone who attends the brunch on Sunday morning
will be entertained. He's going to talk about what he has learned after interviewing over 1300 "carguys" (and Gals).

Amen to that—and Mark is great people. Wish I could be in two states at once, and wish you every success with your weekend!

Talked with Greenie tonight. I really debated on sharing the news that he's planning to attend. I hope this doesn't start the the rush to cancel registration!

Saturday the day begins at 9:00 with the tech session. I'll be there at 8 to get the final issues sorted out. James and I have been talking about hosting a Friday evening gig for the out of towners, if there's enough interest


Thanks for the warm welcome Billy... agree.gif

I've got a week to solve this fuel problem but I plan on seeing my real friends soon.

Great job organizing this event!


Can’t wait to see you Greenie, you and Rocky can figure some type of competition to out do each other. sheeplove.gif grouphug.gif

Fuel problem ?
Start replacing the fuel filter, then fuel pump, regulator, fuel lines, then find out you’re just low on fuel. It’s a sending unit problem slap.gif

I think so...

New 2 port pump from 3 port, took her for a test drive all was good. driving.gif

She stalled on a hard up hill turn.

Long story short, when I last pulled the tank I added some length to the lines.
I believe I was kinking the supply line.
Pulled the tank tonight, very carefully rearranged the lines and reinstalled. I then inspected from underside, still kinked. WTF.gif
I put a temporary support on the kink and all is good. I'm going to add some hose supports next week

I think this was the problem .

I'm going to try to make it up for a day. Probably be Sunday. My car still isn't ready but I'm waiting on a fuel pump. Which should have it running. I noticed my clutch on the floor. My new hydraulic line apparently has a leak. I've got to see from where dry.gif

Posted by: PanelBilly Sep 9 2019, 02:04 PM

I'm only going to post this offer here. This offer isn't being made to everyone. I know some of you would like to attend the event, but just can't make it for one reason or another (or maybe you can't handle the TRAFFIC!).

Anyways, I have three very nice gift certificates that will be raffled off at the Oktoberfest. They are:

$500 Labor only transmission rebuild by Dr Evil
$100 Gift Certificate to Sierra Madrea
Caliber set Rebuild by PMB

Raffle tickets are $20 for 25 tickets. You Paypal me the money and tell me how many tickets to put in each raffle box. Send the Paypal as a gift so I don't pay extra. If your not a Paypal user, send me a PM and we'll figure out another way. My accout is wmshott@gmail.com

If you're going to the event, you can buy ticket there. There will be other stuff at he raffle and they'll also be auctioning off 2 new 4K TVs. All the $ goes to the Rotary club who is funding the beer and entertainment. Looks like there will be 200 people there, so it will be a small Oktoberfest, but large enough crowd for fun.

Break out your lederhosen

'Handling traffic' is not an issue. I KNOW how to handle traffic. It's called avoidence. Btw, make sure you're in the correct lane when you get to Fife or you'll be making a Uturn on 56th street south.

Posted by: plymouth37 Sep 10 2019, 02:46 PM

Looks like the Anklebiter and I will come to the tech session on Saturday morning rather than the brunch.

Looking forward to seeing everybody! Thanks for arranging everything Billy!

Anyone still looking for a place to stay? We have a vacation rental on S Lake Washington 5 minutes from downtown Renton. It's listed on VRBO.COM listing# 7073472. Shows a 3 night min but can do less. Hope everyone has a great time!

Saturday’s weather is looking better than originally forecasted. Don’t let the threat of rain keep you home.

I was planning on send out an email today but I just had too much on my plate. I think most everything is spelled out here and on the Motorsports site. In the simplest form

Saturday 9am is the tech. Show up after 8. That’s when I’ll be there. Julie will have a check in table with name tags and goodies. The dealer will have muffins and coffee

After tech we go on the tour. We’ll end at the park for the Oktoberfest. There will be people t show you where to park

Sunday is th brunch. Show u around 9. We’ll have a cameraman there who will be recording interviews of everyone we ca fit in. We’ll go in for brunch at 11:30. I’ll have a tent outside for the interviews

Have lots of goodies!

Very successful & enjoyable gathering / celebration~
Larson Porsche (dealership) was a very hospitable & professional jumping off point.
The drive was a bit rough through the urban leg, but opened up after the quicky-mart stop!! driving.gif smile.gif
The park & party were great I got to meet a a bunch of folks, including an amazon with a terrible singing voice laugh.gif
Props to all the OR folks for driving up! aktion035.gif
My car looked good & drove well until the return home when I lost a battery. confused24.gif
Sun. morn was a wash-out with a cold & rainy day. Marc Green was a trooper for sitting out there under a pop up suffering while photo interviewing we that braved the weather.
Look forward to how badly we (I) look on camera. wacko.gif

Well put, Rich. Kudos to Billy and Julie and the rest of the team for a job very well done!

I spent Saturday evening wondering about Sunday's rain forecast. Ready to go early Sunday, I fell prey to fear of hydro-lock and spent the rest of the day contemplating a rain shield for my exposed cone air filter and missing the frivolity.
