This is a Porsche Club of America sponsored event, which means PCA is helping with some insurance issues and everyone making reservations for the weekend will get a very nice commemorative gift.

The hotel is the Super 8 by Wyndham booking for the nights of July 17, 18, and 19 which is a Friday and Saturday, departing on Sunday. This hotel has good reviews, was recently renovated, has a continental breakfast, and is centrally located within striking distance of the Delaware River and the Poconos. The group rate is $76.50 a night, 2 people, for a total of $169.96. a terrific rate. No other discounts can be applied and it is cancel-able and it is reserve now and pay later. I am not certain what the rate would be if you only wanted to stay only one night, but it is possible it may be higher.

Super 8 by Wyndham
340 Green Tree Drive
East Stroudsburg, PA
570 420 - 7267 - Select the Front Desk
YOU MUST USE "PORSCHE 914 GATHERING" to get the rate. No payment is necessary at this time.

THE CUTOFF DATE FOR RESERVATIONS IS JULY 1 !!! After that, planning dinner and activities becomes impossible.

Come at your leisure on Friday as check in is after 2 pm and no dinner is planned, just a meet and greet at night.
Saturday - After breakfast, quick driver's meeting, then off to cruise some great roads with the targas off. We'll stop for lunch and several pictures along the way. Back to the hotel after 3 pm for 2 tech session and a mini swap meet (post what you're looking for) Because of dining out is impaired by this damn virus, we're going to a good old BBQ with dogs, great burgers, and my traditional spicy jerk wings. Then, if we have time, heading to a local car meet with the Lost in Time Car Club, who have their normal Saturday night get together. and welcomed us to join them. Later in the evening, we'll raffle off some very cool stuff donated by our very generous 914/Porsche suppliers and vendors, a few games, and a few beers.

Couple of points - It will be good to see some people I haven't seen in a while, the people are equal to the cars, terrific. And I can't stop you but please, only if your 914 is temporarily out of service and due to the nature of our weekend, no 911s, 944s, 968s, or any other 9 series that doesn't include one four. Thanks.
See ya there.

I went ahead and made my resos, although the guy I spoke to could find no group under our name ("Porsche 914 Gathering"). Anyone else have any issues? I can call back at some point and try to get that cleared up.

Thanks again, Len. REALLY hoping family commitments don't bollocks this up for me somehow.

Did you call the number from this post? It directs you straight to this particular super 8. The national 800 number can’t seem to find the group. I had the same problem twice yesterday. I would call the number at the top of this post if I were you. They will straighten it out.

FYI making reservations. Guys and gals. Please use the number at the top of this post to make your reservations and get your group discount. This is the direct # to the actual hotel. If you search the hotel online, it will give you a national 800 number. They cannot seem to find our group and discount. I was disconnect twice trying to transfer to our hotel from that national center. So do yourself a favor and use the number on the top of this post. Looking forward to seeing everyone!!!

Good call, Dave. Yes, I pushed "1" to make a reservation, which transferred me to the national customer service line, apparently. You should instead push "3" to get the front desk of the actual hotel. See, I was so anxious to make the reso I couldn't even get past option 1 on the phone.

All better now smile.gif

I did not want this to interfere with the ACG or Ockteenerfest or Hershey, which are all awesome events. It's right in the middle and gives you time to enjoy those weekends if money or time is tight. No way I miss "the Gathering", which I partially plagiarized the name smile.gif

Betty and I were considering coming.

It is a little over 1500 miles from our house. One route goes through Virginia and past DC, one route goes within 10 miles of my Father's home town in West Virginia, and one goes through the north end of the Youngstown suburb that I used to live in during the 70s.

What are you going to be doing? Any cool drives?

Man, if you came from that distance Clay, we'd have to come up with some kind of Iron Butt award.
The drive is really the whole point, well that and meeting all the attendees. There isn't any car show or tech stuff, unless someone breaks down in the parking lot biggrin.gif . It's the drive and there are some awesome roads around there winding thru the Poconos. Since they're relatively local, SaigonBob and 914dave will be routing out the route when the weather is a bit more hospitable with some stops for pics and lunch along the way. Sunday may have another cruise, but we have time to figure that out. Betty and you would be very welcome.

If you really want to turn this into the "NorthEast Ramble" (Or whatever you want to call it), I will be glad to help. You just need 3 things (Tour, Car Show, Tech Session) for PCA Sig sponsorship. And you get insurance and a subsidy. There are people that can help you with getting sponsors, how to submit SIG paperwork, and all the little fiddily bits that you have to do for it. But it is worth it in the end.
A car show is one of the easiest parts of the event. You find a field, park the cars by type, put numbers on them, and give out ballots. It then becomes an afternoon of sitting around and talking 914s with friends.

I also like to do a "Blind Autocross" too. It is a very simple event. No helmets, and you can time it with a stop watch. The course consists of 5 cones. Two are used for the start/finish line. The rest are a straight slalom, just out and back. The trick is that it is a team event. The driver is wearing a blindfold, and the passenger has to tell them where to go. Watching is more fun that actually driving.

Let me know if you want some help with getting started as a PCA event.

Clay - Your post prompted me to inquire what is a SIG? I looked it up (Special Interest Group) and eventually emailed the lead PCA SIG 914 person, who got back to me asking for details, which I sent yesterday.

My thoughts and original plans for this weekend are not written in stone, but meeting these SIG requirements (Drive, Show, and tech session) were not what I had in mind, mainly because of time, but other reasons too.

I didn't want anyone attending to feel this weekend included work and after driving to the venue and having a cruise the next day with all the ensuing bug hits, it would force owners to wash their cars to get ready for the following show. I don't want them to do that. If they feel they want to clean their cars, do so because they want to, not because they have to. Without a show after the cruise, we have a couple of hours of free time before leaving for dinner, If you want to jump in the pool, have a couple of long necks, make a carb adjustment, take a nap, or wash your car, go ahead, you have time.

The tech session is possible. My first thought was Ralph (he's gonna love this). His car is loaded with an interesting mix of LEDs, a cool and easy tech upgrading session that requires no tools and minimal time. If he's willing, we could do this.

Just my opinion and I'll listen to others, but I don't want a highly structured, itinerary filled event for which there is very limited time as there is really only one day. I want people to relax, enjoy the cars and the people who drive them, without any stress of meeting a rigid schedule. But James (the PCA SIG lead) will get back to me this week. If it doesn't interfere with the relaxed schedule and I'm still unclear to the advantages in regards to insurance, we'll take a close look at it. Maybe we can implement something in keeping the basic premise.

Posted by: StarBear Mar 1 2020, 09:31 AM

I concur, Len. Maybe a Tech Session (including participants' "most interesting hidden 914 secret"), but not a show or anything serious - just fun, friendship, fresh air and those sweet air-cooled sounds.

To add, I think all of us attending a local car meet ( to which we're being welcomed) would be interesting and more fun than a show consisting just of our cars. Just my opinion.

A whole lot of crap has happened since this was first posted and many have booked their rooms. But with 17 weeks to go, I'm going to rely on a combination of faith, science, and optimism that the country will be in far better shape in July than it is right now. In the broad scheme of things, a cruise is a pretty low priority, but more focused decisions can be made later. But for right now, we're still a go.

Hi Big Len!

Thanks for setting this up!!! Tony A just filled me in as I somehow missed it. I missed catching up with all you NE guys at Hershey this year and can't wait. I sure hope it is a go! And to have Steve attending is phenomenal (fingers crossed the #19 car can make an appearance). I will be cross posting in the SIG914 Updates thread in case there are other crazy Canucks willing to make the trek.

My problem is that I have a driver development 3-day track weekend at Mosport booked for the same days! Aaarggh!!! The chance exists that schedules may have to change, so I will make it if I can.

Should I be able to go, you won't see a confirmation from me at the hotel as I'm bunking at Tony's place but we'll both be there, God willing. Hopefully you guys will let us hang at your hotel for socializing. Please don't laugh at my narrow body tribute to the Sonauto 914-6 lol-2.gif All done in the spirit of this special year. I'll try to bring a little something along for participants too if I can come. We are still hoping to have our SIG914 24 Minutes of Le Mans August 1-2.

You're more than welcome to hang anywhere and that goes for anyone who can only make a segment.

I have no idea what's going to happen in the next 13 weeks, but I do know I want to have this gathering happen more than ever before. And after talking to several attendees, all still want to come, so delaying a final decision until the beginning of June seems reasonable. Praying that some of life's normalcy returns, we are still on.

For years, I drooled over the pictures posted from the WCR, Red Rocks, Route 66, and Ockteenerfest weekends. The closest, Okteenerfest, was a 10 - 13 hour drive and I'm just not willing to do that. So we planned something similar at little closer to the center of the northeast, East Stroudsburg Pennsylvania, in hopes of drawing a pretty wide audience and a diversity of cars and owners who believe the 50th anniversary is a pretty damn special thing.

So here's the unrefined outline:
The hotel is the Super 8 by Wyndham booking for the nights of July 17, 18, and 19 which is a Friday and Saturday, departing on Sunday. This hotel has good reviews, was recently renovated, has a continental breakfast, an indoor pool, and is centrally located within striking distance of the Delaware River and the Poconos. The group rate is $76.50 a night, 2 people, for a total of $169.96. a terrific rate. No other discounts can be applied and it is cancel-able and it is reserve now and pay later. I am not certain what the rate would be if you only wanted to stay only one night, but it is possible it may be higher.

Back to the hotel after 3 pm for a jump in the pool or throw a couple back or both. Later, off to dinner together at a predetermined place. Then, heading to a local car meet with the Lost in Time Car Club, who have their normal Saturday night get together. and welcomed us to join them. Back at the hotel after and break out the traditional gas can.

Couple of points - We're gonna come up with something commemorative thing to give to everybody. It will be good to see some people I haven't seen in a while, the people are equal to the cars, terrific. And I can't stop you but please, due to the nature of our weekend, no 911s, 944s, 968s, or any other 9 series that doesn't include one four. Thanks.

I just made reservations at the Super 8, and am looking forward to seeing and meeting everyone. If there is anything I can do to help you all please let me know. Thanks alot for having this get together. John

I got my fingers crossed. The 914 is ready. Had to move the cars to the new garage as the old garage has become my new office. Hope everyone is well and stay safe.

With exactly 2 months to go, I see no reason to postpone this event. After talking to many of you, I don't believe waiting another month or two will make much of a difference, not only in regards to the virus, but also the fact that many places are starting to open up. In two months, any sort of normalcy will be here and last a while, so to me, a delay makes little sense. And some minor tweaking of the schedule should help in making everyone feel comfortable, adding that I've talked to the hotel manager and they are on board with taking all proper precautions. Presently, they are holding 14 room reservations, which is at least that many cars.

So we're still a go and personally, I can't wait.

Google maps shows 914 miles from home to East Stroudsburg...but...I haven't yet talked myself into that drive for a one day event...but who knows...I may get too much cabin fever.

Posted by: sjhenry1075 May 19 2020, 07:33 AM

I just saw this and I'm excited! I just got my 71 running and have been looking for some sort of an event to drive it to. I'm going to call the hotel today to make reservations. I'm excited to meet everyone and at this point, I'm not sure if my SO will be making the trip.

Posted by: jaredmcginness May 19 2020, 11:14 AM

Very tempted to join this. If I am not on work travel that weekend, and my car is operable. smile.gif

Promising news - Monroe County, PA, and in fact all 4 Pocono counties are shifting from red to yellow tomorrow, Friday, May 29th. The regional heath dept. believes that all 4 counties should go to green by mid June, a solid month before our event. Restaurants will have dine in services (@50% capacity), gatherings up to 250 people, and a number of other recreational things will be open. Of course, things could change, so I'll have another update in 2 or 3 weeks.

Hopefully, the only worry we'll have is the weather, which is normal. Wow, there's a word I haven't heard in a long time.

Posted by: Dion May 28 2020, 06:25 PM

Thanks Len for keeping us updated. Worrying about weather would be a welcome worry!

Things are opening up in PA and finally looking good with 5 weeks to go. We'll be one of the first local PCA events of the year and with so many past cancellations, it's going to feel SO good to get out. Saigon Bob and Dave Toppin have been working hard with the many tweaks and questions we've had to overcome and trying to make this a memorable event. Thank you guys. So a couple of updates with more on the way -

It looks like this will be a PCA sponsored event. The paperwork is in and we're awaiting the final word.

An event Facebook site has been added to keep attendees up to date. Find us at
https://www.facebook.com/events/618641998739703/

So far, 14 rooms are reserved with 6 left. If you're going to go, make the reservation soon.

There is no pool at the hotel. My fault, I checked a box on my hotel list that was incorrect.

We've added a min swap meet for Saturday afternoon. If you need something, post it. If you have some items, post them, but try to keep price negotiations off the main thread. PM each other for that.

Anybody have a drone for aerial pics? Let me know. Thanks.

Count me in! I Just booked a room. But didn’t get the special rate. The guy at the desk had no idea what I was talking about. I’ll call back in the morning to figure it out.

Posted by: Big Len Jun 10 2020, 07:48 PM

Push the number prompt for the front desk.

Posted by: 14carrot Jun 10 2020, 08:08 PM

Hey Len, most everything up here in the great white north is cancelled, including my track days and our 24 Minutes of Le Mans 914 parade lap tribute, so I'm stoked at the thought of joining you guys if the powers that be open borders and it is deemed safe to travel. It will be great if some of us up here are able to carry the torch for the PCA Upper Canada Region to your event.
As mentioned before, I'll be bunking at Tony A's if coming so no need for hotel accommodations.

Thanks to everyone that's lending a hand. It's a huge amount of work!

Posted by: Big Len Jun 15 2020, 06:07 PM

UPDATED INFO : One month to go.

Cut off date for reservations will be July 1.

We are PCA sponsored event, so PCA helps us with insurance issues and because backing, all attendees with reservations will get a really nice commemorative gift. Thank you, Porsche Club of America.

Saturday night dinner, because of the difficulty in getting reservations and a lack of capacity, we're having a great BBQ Saturday night at the hotel with burgers, my spicy jerk wings, and dogs.

Saturday Night, a raffle will be held for all the really generous donations by our 914 vendors, suppliers, and friends. Everybody gets a ticket.

For an extra bonus, PM your name and email and you'll receive percentage off coupons from 914 Rubber and possibly others.

People are working behind the scenes to really make this a good time. Why? We want to do it again next year.

**********************LAST CALL FOR ALCOHOL********************

Tomorrow is the last day for reserving rooms at the group rate and/or notification of you attending, even if it's for the day. I cannot guarantee any PCA commemorative gifts or lunch reservations after that, as final numbers will be totaled on Wednesday. Of course, you'll be welcome to attend, even spur of the moment, but I may not have an awesome goodie bag for you.

As of today, we have 20 rooms reserved with at least 2 dozen cars coming. This is way beyond my most optimistic expectations. We've got a few original owner cars, a few wide body's, several 6's, a creamsickle, and everything in between. And I must also say the generosity of more than a dozen vendors, suppliers, and friends has been overwhelmingly and will be prominently displayed and a copy for every attendee will be given.

Dave 914, Saigon Bob and I have been putting in the time to schedule an event that's easy going, fun, safe, and interesting.

Very much looking forward to seeing everyone.

Posted by: VaccaRabite Jun 29 2020, 08:22 PM

Looks like I can come!
All the Boy Scout camps have been cancelled so I will be able to join in the fun.
Trying to get my car on a dyno before this event to get a few bugs tuned out of my EFI, but the car is running driving - though idle is a tad high and hot starts are snotty.

Also hoping the "quiet" exhaust I orderd from Ben is done and on the car by the event so Amy and I can actually talk to each other in the car. :-)

reservations confirmed ......clerk said 'appears to be sold out'
Guess I better wash the car.

Posted by: Big Len Jun 30 2020, 03:44 PM

I originally booked 20 rooms never thinking they would sell out. They may mean that block.

Looks like I can come!
All the Boy Scout camps have been cancelled so I will be able to join in the fun.
Trying to get my car on a dyno before this event to get a few bugs tuned out of my EFI, but the car is running driving - though idle is a tad high and hot starts are snotty.

Also hoping the "quiet" exhaust I orderd from Ben is done and on the car by the event so Amy and I can actually talk to each other in the car. :-)

I think I can make the drive but need to split early for the next door neighbor kid's graduation party. I'm bringing a couple of sets of brake LEDs for the raffle. One of the brake LEDs will be a new design with a RS-like round LED pattern like shown below.

A couple of things about this event and C-19:

The area - Checking with the PA Regional Health Dept, northeastern PA is not a hot spot and incidences are very low. E. Stroudsburg is a college town and classes haven't been in session for months. Northeastern PA is not like the recently spiking southern or southwestern U.S.

The Hotel - This nationwide chain has their own set of proprietary protocols that go beyond CDC guidelines. If there is a concern, please speak to Bonnie, the manager.

The Gathering - Everyone is required to wear masks when you are near other people, period. 95% of what we're doing will be outside and not in a confining space. Our BBQ is set up so that you WILL NOT be able to grab your own food, you will be served by one person with gloves and a mask. That goes for Friday night pizza, breakfast, a burger, whatever. All food items will be served on individual plates. I ordered numerous condiments in small packets, so if you need ketchup, pepper, mustard or a napkin, you will be given it. Hand sanitizer will be available, but as always, bring extra for yourself. Each person will be given a mask if you need one. Even though I believe the risk is very low, we want to mitigate that risk at every opportunity.

We have a number of older owners, myself and my wife included, who are coming. I believe this group that are attending get the details and have respect enough to have a good time without risking anyone's health.

So, if you have serious concerns about this issue, tell me now and please, do not come. We understand your concerns.
And if you feel that wearing a mask or adhering to a few little rules will ruin this anniversary event, PM me and do not come. We'd love to see you, but Bob, Dave, and I want you to have a good time and feel comfortable doing it.

Posted by: Big Len Jul 13 2020, 06:53 AM

With 4 days left, here's a few things to put on your pack list:

Your car should have at least a three quarters tank of fuel at arrival to the hotel.
Folding chair(s)
Some small bills for "chip ins" group stuff and tips for hotel staff.
Bug spray for nighttime hungry mosquitoes.
A duster for the pollen that will all over your car in the morning (if you care).
Bring whatever you're drinking (there will be bottled water, but that's about it.
Your own personal mask and hand sanitizer.
It's going to be pretty warm and if your car is due, change the oil to keep everything cool.
Check your tire pressures.

More updates coming.

Winding down the punch list, throttle pedal bushing broke. I sourced a nylon bushing from Lowe’s that should work. I need to wash the car and pack, but pretty much ready for the trip. The plan is as follows:
- Leave East of Richmond at 5:00 ( I’m a early riser)
- Meet Ben and his best half in Woodbridge ( ETA 7:00) fill up with fuel
- Head north up 95 and meet Bill J and his excited son (ETA 8:15)
- Continue up 95 North through Baltimore and meet Dave, Dion and company at the Yardley Park and Ride off 295. ( ETA around 10:30)

From there I’m a sheep and will follow the group to the hotel.

On a side note I’m looking for 2 sets of Porsche Letters for the decklid. Any condition tabs broke off are ok. Working on a garage project.

See everyone soon!!

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=15452 - I have some weltmeister brass pedal bushings. I could next day them to you if you wanted. Or you can drive up, im in MD.

Will possibly be making a test hit on the teener to check temps. If they are still not staying down I can't come in the teener but I can still make it in the 911 that was once powered by a 76 914 2.0

Ugh.

My 914 suffered a self-inflicted flesh wound.

A couple of weeks ago I assembled the first set of round brake and turnsignal boards and quickly put them on my car for a photo op. Apparently I didn't secure the plastic lenses and last weekend went for a spirited ride and the passenger side rear lens fell off. chair.gif

If I can pick up a pair of US lenses or one Euro passenger side lens, I'll bring my 914. Anyone going have a pair of US lenses or one Euro passenger side lens they'd like to sell or barter for some LEDs?

Posted by: cuddy_k Jul 14 2020, 10:07 PM

Working out details to drive up out of VA through NOVA to Philly area, send me a message if you want to join in. I’ll be in Woodbridge around 7:00 to meet up with the first car. Anyone else in? See everyone in a week!!


What route is being planned? I'm in the Lehigh Valley and would like to meet up if possible.


Spoke
The guys who are coming from the south are meeting me at the Yardley park and ride where 295 crosses from PA to NJ. We are going to cruise up river rd thru the Delaware Water Gap for lunch and then to the hotel. Out of the way for you, but if you wanted to join us for the cruise, all are welcome. The meet time at the park and ride is 10:00 am.

Dave - assuming I'm making it, I would like to plan on joining up with this crew if that's ok (remember, my teener makes everyone else's look good next to it smile.gif ). I'll confirm ahead of time. @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=10825 , are you in cahoots with this group? I'll be passing through Wilmington.

Looks like a beautiful drive north driving.gif


Are you bringing the tub I helped you get from the west side of DC back in March??

Uh...that one still has a way to go yet, Tony biggrin.gif Unless maybe I could bring it up and we could do a work party at the gathering. You know, nothing major. Just welding in rest of longs and sail panels, grinding, stripping paint, complete body work, sanding, painting, complete reassembly..... we could knock it out in a couple of hours rolleyes.gif

I will be making the day trip Saturday. I didn't sign up, I hope that's alright (was waiting to resolve a scheduling conflict)

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

That’s not a problem. You just have to pick up the lunch tab for 30 people. Only kidding. Be at the hotel by 9:00. Drivers meeting at 9:30, departure at 10:00.

Repeating a post - DON'T FORGET

Your car should have at least a three quarters tank of fuel at arrival to the hotel.
Folding chair(s)
Some small bills for "chip ins" group stuff and tips for hotel staff.
Bug spray for nighttime hungry mosquitoes.
A duster for the pollen that will all over your car in the morning (if you care).
Bring whatever you're drinking (there will be bottled water, but that's about it.
Your own personal mask and hand sanitizer.
It's going to be pretty warm and if your car is due, change the oil to keep everything cool.
Phone charger
Meds including the good ones.
Check your tire pressures.

My time with the gang was unfortunately cut short by emergencies at work (I keep trying to tell clients there's no such thing as a television emergency), but I did at least get to see some friends...and make new ones. I took some fun video and drone shots of the largest collection of 914s north of the mason-dixon line. Will post when I come up for air.

Kudos to everyone who made this event happen so smoothly. Great to be with so many passionate 914 enthusiasts. I left my home at in Maryland at 6AM and returned at 12AM. Drove the car a total of 489 miles without a hiccup. While it was a hot day, the tour had a lot of shaded back roads. Drove home with the top down since it was the perfect night for that.

plenty of 914s in the Northern Jersey area. hopefully we could get motivated to have casual meet-ups in the near future (when you get your engine back in).

Just under 900 miles round trip, I made it home just before noon on Sunday. The car had a few hiccups on the way home. A new punch list begins. Thanks to everyone that made this happen. I enjoyed meeting up with old friends and making some new ones. Getting the car ready for Pigeon Forge. “ Teenerpalooza” I’m already looking forward to next year. Thanks for welcoming a Southern guy from Virginia into the North East Porsche scene.

Bruce, I’ll get you a core out next week. I have a few cores lying around.

I wanted to send a special thanks out to Dion. He drove the support vehicle this weekend so we could all have dinner Saturday night. Thanks pal. Next year we need your blue car in the mix.

It really was. Despite the pandemic crap and the heat, it was a major success. Kudos to Len for coming up with the idea, and to Bob and Dave for doing a lot of the field work. If you’re in the Northeast try to make the next one, they’re only bound to get better.

And who knows, maybe you’ll experience a turbo Suby powered 914 just so you can be corrupted. happy11.gif

Good stuff beerchug.gif

The Len 914 trivia game - in a hard fought match, Tom emerged the victor - well done sir! This was a lot of fun. piratenanner.gif

Hi Guys...here's a little montage I shot (with drone) I could only stay a few hours, but I got to meet some nice people and see some amazing cars. Thanks so much to Len, Linda, Bob and Dave for putting on a great event. Hope to spend more time next year. Enjoy!

Awesome video, Thanks Ian!!!!

Very cool, thanks Ian!

Yeah, distinct lack of blue and black 914’s at this gathering.

Posted by: cuddy_k Jul 26 2020, 12:47 PM

Yeah those were pretty much the only ones missing. We even had a raspberry...

Posted by: TonyA Jul 26 2020, 01:18 PM

Thanks for the pictures and the drone shots Ian. Wish you could have stayed to talk about LE cars.

Ha! That’s my lousy BMW-guy brother, Bernie! He met me there (from NJ) and needed to fit in, so I gave the shirt from the goody-bag. He actually had a great time- a car guy is a car guy (or gal)... we all have the same anomaly in our DNA.

Oscar- thanks for all the donated swag- amazing!

Sending PM.
