914World.com _ 914World Garage _ A Northeast Anniversary Weekend Road trip?

Posted by: Big Len Feb 11 2020, 09:08 PM

Asking for any interest in a Friday to Sunday weekend rally in the Northeast for the 50th anniversary in for Mid July. I'm proposing a hotel in the Stroudsburg, PA area with a Friday arrival and a terrific road trip on Saturday with dinner Saturday night. Any of you guys seriously interested?

No 914, but interested nonetheless. So, yes.

Great idea Len. I'm interested.

Posted by: 914dave Feb 13 2020, 07:14 AM

Ok guys. I am planning a Saturday drive in the area. I know the area a bit. Was up there this past fall a couple times. If you are familiar with any roads that you think would be fun. Shoot me a pm. I’ve got a rough idea already but I’m always open to new ideas. There are a couple lunch stops that we could use. Both north and south of Stoudsburg. This should be fun.

Ralph, if this happens, please allow me the satisfaction of talking to the hotel manager and personally picking the room for you. grouphug.gif biggrin.gif

Interested

Turn out should be great. Obviously we all can’t be there but enjoy. beerchug.gif

But to show support from the West Coast, I’ll prepare and send a nice box of S.W.A.G.

I'll need an address later.

I can't tell you blown away I am by your offer Oscar. You made my night. We'll see where this goes in another day or two, but I'm getting charged.

Posted by: stevegm Feb 13 2020, 08:37 PM

I’d be interested. Not completely sure I could make it, but I’d definitely try. Either way, I’d send SWAG as well.

I'm interested and will probably have a +1

Posted by: Big Len Feb 15 2020, 09:10 AM

Based on the responses, I am very excited to say I think this is going to happen. Enlisted help with logistics with Bob and Dave. Securing a clean, reasonably priced hotel is a priority, even with months to go. The WCR, the Red Rocks, and Ockteenerfest people have set the standard for a good time and I think we can come pretty close. Look for a more definitive thread coming soon. Meanwhile, feel free to post suggestions.

I’m in, sounds like fun.

Plus I owe Ralph a beer beer.gif

Sweet - looking forward to this. Missed everything last year due to neck injury. Bringing some vino for the boys.

How can I not go?
I'm in...

Thanks, we had an awesome time, especially driving the track!
Damn, that was cool. Will be good to see you again.

Interested so long as its not the same week as Scout Camp with the boy (Sunday 7/12-Saturday 7/18).

Zach

Posted by: Big Len Feb 18 2020, 05:01 PM

Sorry Zach, looks like the weekend will be the same as the WCR, July 17-19. Any chance of cutting your Scout time a bit short?

Posted by: VaccaRabite Feb 18 2020, 09:28 PM

Bummer.

Nah I'm one of the Scoutmasters for the troop. I gotta be there. Kids before hobbies.

Dave, figure a stop at the Minisink hotel for lunch/dinner. Some great roads around there.

Thank you everyone. Live in Bensalem which is just north of Philadelphia. Little about myself, still own and drive a ‘74 MGB which I bought as a senior in high school, 29 yrs ago this week. Have 2 914’s which have been off the road for 4-10 yrs each. Decided a few weeks ago to get the better back on the road for the spring. Maiden voyage should be next week at this point. Photos to follow. Thanks again

Just an FYI....Since I have this NE crowds attention, there is a car show in Allentown at the Bulgari complex this June sometime.
Sorry to say no foreign cars that I know of. Go figure, an Italian guy with no European cars. Anyway quite an impressive collection and the Grand Nationals will be held there so I am told. I have a friend that has a near perfect Chrysler Imperial he is entering. Sorry to hijack Big Len.

My 74 914 is the same color orange. Great color for a fun little car.

Posted by: TomE Feb 21 2020, 12:29 PM

New to this group but was on Rennlist for several years when Dunkle ran it. John drove my 911 SC at Watkins when we had a ECR back in the day in New York. They were fun, this should be a good time also.

Posted by: rgolia Feb 21 2020, 03:42 PM

I am not far from you. I am in Buckingham. Take your maiden voyage up my way. Plan to get the 914 out for a Sunday drive. I have owned my 914 since new and I have a lift in my heated garage.Attached Image

A minor issue has appeared which should be clarified today.

Posted by: Spoke Feb 23 2020, 09:24 AM

I'm interested as long it isn't the weekend of 7/26. Will be in Pittsburgh for the Pittsburgh Historic Grand Prix car show that weekend.

Posted by: Big Len Feb 23 2020, 04:58 PM

It's going to be the same weekend as the WCR, July 17 - 19.
