From daily drivers and outlaws to garage queens and concours winners, all 914s are welcome at Okteenerfest! Make plans now to join other 914 owners for some fantastic driving, plenty of socializing, a bit of showing off, and a truckload of give-aways. What's that? You say your 914 is on jack stands? No worries. Plan to attend anyway as there is always an empty seat available. You won't be disappointed.

Okteenerfest returns to its roots in the Smokies of east Tennessee and will be held in “action packed” Pigeon Forge. This year's route features the world famous Dragon and its 318 curves in 11 miles. As usual, the day drive includes not only a ton of twisties, sweepers, and ear-popping elevation changes but plenty of stopping points to get out, stretch, and enjoy the scenic splendor of the mountains. The lunch stop this year will be TBD.

In addition to the driving, Okteenerfest features plenty of good eating, an awards ceremony, tons of give-aways from some very generous vendors, a Peoples Choice Car Show, and some of the nicest people you will ever meet gathered in a single place.

If you have not been to an Okteenerfest in the past, mark this one on your calendar. In 2019, over 150 people attended representing 60+ 914s making Okteenerfest the largest 914 gathering in the U.S. in recent history! If recent car events around the area are any indication, this year's Okteenerfest should top those numbers!

The fun begins Thursday afternoon with event check-in. Watch and be amazed as fellow teeners arrive and the parking area fills up with a kaleidoscope of colors. Meet up with friends new and old to catch up on what's been going on the past couple years!

Thursday evening will feature a short “sunset drive” to experience the beauty of the Smokies.

Friday begins early with the “main event” - a drive on the area's fantastic mountain roads. With planned rest and lunch stops along the way, the daylong drive is a 914 lover's utopia.

After the drive, attendees have Friday evening free to do as they wish. Many will gather to eat dinner and then later hang out and socialize. With the event based in Pigeon Forge, there is PLENTY to see and do.

Saturday begins with a People's Choice Car Show followed by a “free” afternoon to go for a drive, shop the many outlet stores, or enjoy some of the many attractions found along the Parkway in Pigeon Forge. A swap meet is being considered if enough interest is shown. During the afternoon, the event promoters will be busy preparing for the evening's Awards Banquet where upwards of $10k worth of “goodies” are given out thanks to our generous sponsors.

Sunday morning will bring the sounds of 914s rambling out of the parking lot as the event ends and attendees head home.

What more could you ask for? Mark your calendars and be sure to join other 914 owners for some fantastic driving, plenty of socializing, a bit of showing off, and a truckload of give-aways in a unique setting that you won’t want to miss.

Your $85 Registration Fee includes:

• Thursday evening “sunset drive”
• Goodie bag with some GREAT swag!
• Friday Driving Tour on some of the best roads in the country!
• Saturday entry to Peoples Choice Car Show & Swap Meet
• 914 Tech Quiz entry
• Tech Sessions throughout the weekend
• Saturday evening awards banquet dinner
• Chance to win some great trophies 
• Tickets for a chance to win some AWESOME door prizes from some great vendors

Looking forward to Okteenerfest again. The driving routes are always awesome!

This post needs a big sticky to keep it current! :headbanger:For some of you coming through KY from the north, I have several suggestions about alternate scenic routes other than spending significant time on I-75 S. We might also organize a back country road convoy!

Posted by: Jake Raby May 27 2021, 01:44 PM

This will be a great place for this event!

Posted by: poorsche914 May 27 2021, 09:01 PM

Drove a portion of the route today... such great roads and scenery.

Posted by: DRPHIL914 May 28 2021, 06:53 AM

I am going to try and squeeze this in, i hate to miss it of course. We have a wedding in October so time off is an issue, but, going to make an effort, that is, of course if the motor is fixed and back in the car by then......

I should be in South Carolina then so I'm in

Posted by: Jamie May 29 2021, 08:46 AM

The Music Road Resort Hotel appears to be a 1st class facility, lots of areas of interest for us to gather while not driving. The pools are huge and have much dry space for gatherings for swapping lies and consuming adult beverages in the evenings. I'll be making my reservations soon! Reservation made!

Posted by: BENBRO02 May 29 2021, 09:18 AM

My reservations are made. Let’s party like we’ve been in lockdown for a year!

I LOVE this. I have plenty of money and a running car. In a couple of weeks I get to do The Route 66 and I drool everytime I hear about The Red Rock Classic. But this event will cross off a bucket list item for me. The Tail. I'll be in a mid engined Porsche just not a 914, I'll be in the GT4. This means I finally get to meet a hole bunch of my old friends.
All y'all come by and say Hi.

Bump to remind that registration is now open. When answering how many Okteenerfests I had attended I discovered Steve hadn't allowed a check box for the 2010 event, which may have been the first?

Posted by: poorsche914 Jun 2 2021, 06:32 AM

2010 was MUSR in Vonore... my first 914 event. Travelling all the way to Arkansas for MUSR 2011 was the true catalyst for Okteenerfest - I wondered why there was no event in the southeast with all the mountain roads available. A small group drive in 2012 was a sort of litmus test for Okteenerfest which then became an official event in 2013.

Now ya know

Posted by: Jamie Jun 2 2021, 08:30 AM

I have the poster hanging on my office wall titled"Teeners on the Tail" and dated Fall 2010 that was my reference. I assume you made that poster, as your graphic work is always outstanding, and I'm a fan!

Posted by: poorsche914 Jun 2 2021, 09:29 AM

Yes, that was my poster and thanks

Huge Thanks to All the Crew that have made this a GREAT EVENT!

A rough representation of what the roads will look like at Okteenerfest.



Why are there no YELLOW or BLACK emojis

Posted by: ClayPerrine Jul 18 2021, 10:26 AM

Betty and I will be there. We just finished signing up and have a room reserved.





We are taking the southern route via I-20. It is a little longer (Like 10 minutes), but it avoids the broken bridge on I-40 in Memphis.

My favorite pic of the car was taken on the tail last year with the group

Posted by: ClayPerrine Jul 18 2021, 10:51 AM

Just uploaded new ones Betty made.



She is having fun making them. She is currently working on a #40 Sounato GT one now. Got any suggestions? Send her a note.

Clay

Posted by: Jamie Jul 18 2021, 01:05 PM

Is that a top Betty has drawn on my Delphi Green teener? She must know that I hardly ever take the top off!

Posted by: ClayPerrine Jul 18 2021, 01:08 PM

That is a machine gun turret.

Clay

Posted by: Jamie Jul 18 2021, 01:13 PM

Correction needed then, I was a sharpshooter in Vietnam, no M 60 for me!

Posted by: ClayPerrine Jul 18 2021, 04:22 PM

I think it was meant to be Ma Duce, and it was just a green car to put it on.

But talk to the artist.

Posted by: poorsche914 Jul 18 2021, 08:35 PM

These are great!

Posted by: scottthephotog Jul 22 2021, 12:13 AM

These are amazing! I've got one. After all the fun we had in Santa Fe, I need one of our yellow 914 being towed by your GM! Haha

Posted by: DRPHIL914 Jul 26 2021, 12:18 PM

hoping to be there, my motor is not yet functional . but parts should be in soon so we'll see ... plenty of time before i have to start to panic .
most everything should be in before this coming weekend, so in the mean time most of my spare time reading is looking over other engine build threads and several member's videos of type4 motor building. ......

You might change your mind after you see how low my car is. I feel ever bump in the road.

If my friend that lives in Gastonia commits to going then I could join up with you.

Sounds good.

Posted by: IronHillRestorations Aug 1 2021, 08:31 PM

Any interest in the swap meet? I've got something going on most of Friday, so I'll miss the drive. If the swap meet will fly, I'll be in a Ford F150 that identifies as a 914, maybe a trailer load? Not sure if I'll still have the tail dragger Targa then.

Posted by: scottthephotog Aug 3 2021, 04:07 PM

Still trying to figure out work schedules for my wife any I. When does registration officially close? I'm hoping that I can at least make it out there.

Posted by: trojanhorsepower Aug 3 2021, 04:30 PM

I am always interested in a swap meet. I don't know that I need anything or have anything to sell, but they are always fun.

Posted by: poorsche914 Aug 3 2021, 06:14 PM

Registration will be closing on Aug 22 so I can get numbers to the venue on the 23rd.

Hope you and your wife can make it!

Posted by: poorsche914 Aug 3 2021, 06:17 PM

You never know what might show up at a swap meet.

I plan on gathering up some of my extra 914 bits and see if they can find a good home.

Posted by: ClayPerrine Aug 4 2021, 11:47 AM

I can't fit my whole garage full of spare parts into the back of the SUV, and be able to get luggage in it too.

Pet friendly hotel in the area? Unfortunately, our venue is not pet friendly. Any recommendations for decent pet friendly in the area? We'll come down in my recent 73 Carrera 3.0 GT build, with dog, if we can find a place. My wife even volunteered to hold the dog while driving!

Posted by: nditiz1 Aug 9 2021, 04:20 PM

Quick question for a newb, should I plan on being there Thursday all day and leave Sunday night or is it a get in on Thursday evening and leave Sunday morning?

Posted by: trojanhorsepower Aug 9 2021, 04:39 PM

Just get there on Thursday when ever is convenient for you. There is usually a check in thing around 6 ish.

Posted by: poorsche914 Aug 9 2021, 05:12 PM

To add to what trojanhorsepower said...

Thursday is arrival and check in starting mid afternoon or so. For those who arrive in time, a quick sunset drive ~7:00 or so (have to check sunset times) is planned.

Friday's drive, Saturday's car show and evening banquet are the key activities along with swap meet and tech sessions (times to be determined).

Sunday has no planned activities.

His answer: "Try Holiday Inn express across the street, or the River Bend INN around the corner. They can walk from either place. Look at www.mypigeonforge.com. I think on there you can sort by pet friendly hotels."

Hope that helps.

Posted by: Tonyooc Aug 18 2021, 06:10 PM

How many Teeners are now attending??? Can't wait to meet everyone and see everyone cars.

Posted by: poorsche914 Aug 18 2021, 07:20 PM

As of tonight, 91 registrants representing 52 914s
Does not include the 7 914s that will be left back home

Here is an approximation of what the parking lot will look like:




LAST DAY TO REGISTER ... AUG 22

Posted by: Jamie Aug 19 2021, 10:33 AM

Just finished updating my Garmin so I can cruise back country roads going to Okteenerfest again. I don't like spending any more time on Interstates than necessary, running beside semi's really brings home how tiny our teeners really are! When Dad first bought the new teener, Mom hated riding in it, said when she looked out the window all she could see were lug nuts flying by!

Posted by: nditiz1 Aug 19 2021, 03:44 PM

What time does the drive start on Friday? Was thinking of visiting my Dad in Hendersonville Thursday, but it is 2 hours from the event.

Posted by: poorsche914 Aug 19 2021, 07:20 PM

Driver meeting at ~8:45 with drive starting shortly thereafter.

Posted by: 14carrot Aug 20 2021, 12:19 AM

Hey everyone,

Breaking my heart (again) not to be joining you. Damn COVID. Hope to get down there when borders finally open.

Have a few for me and drive safe. Not in that order

Posted by: Tonyooc Aug 20 2021, 04:40 AM

Drives usually start at 914am

Posted by: poorsche914 Aug 20 2021, 06:31 AM

May have to break tradition for this drive to make our lunch destination on time.
Rather than leaving, we will be DRIVING at 9:14

The Drive is a bit ambitious this year at just over 200 miles total.

Posted by: poorsche914 Aug 21 2021, 06:22 AM

Just a reminder this is the final weekend to register for Okteenerfest.
Have had a dozen new registrants in the past few days.

Posted by: scottthephotog Aug 21 2021, 12:52 PM

Well. Seeing how the 914 is not running well and the 944 just bit the dust on Wednesday night, it looks like we'll be passing on it this year. Hopefully next year.

Posted by: poorsche914 Aug 22 2021, 05:37 PM

Sorry you can't make it this year, Scott.

See you in 2022!

Is the registration officially, officially closed?!

Posted by: DRPHIL914 Aug 23 2021, 07:18 PM

lol my Maserati identifies as a 914 too, i think my 914 identifies as a 914, or might feel more like one if i can get a motor back in it on time!

hoping to get this in and broken in before Sept 25th!

Another outstanding design for my 914 T shirt collection!

Posted by: scottthephotog Sep 7 2021, 10:34 AM

Oh man. Of course it's a yellow 914 on the shirt when we can't make it with our yellow 914…

Posted by: BENBRO02 Sep 7 2021, 02:15 PM

That looks great!

Posted by: poorsche914 Sep 7 2021, 07:15 PM

PM me and I can order one for you and then send back with @ClayPerrine



Thanks, guys.

Posted by: Rick986 Sep 7 2021, 07:22 PM

Hey All -

I've sent a few of you PM's and thought it was smarter to just put up a group note!

I'm new to the 914 world and still looking for a car. Do you know if attendees typically have cars for sale? I might come down just for the show if there's a chance I could find my new dream 914.

I'm ideally looking for a '72 -'75 2.0 but a 1.7/1.8 would be cool too. Doesn't need to be a beauty queen. But rust-free and generally mechanically sound. Thanks for the feedback.

Rick - 216.496.6538

Posted by: 914werke Sep 7 2021, 07:41 PM

Sweet I need me one of those!

Posted by: BENBRO02 Sep 7 2021, 08:01 PM

There probably won’t be a car for sale at Okteenerfest for you but you will meet a lot of 914 enthusiasts and that will help with your search.

Posted by: BENBRO02 Sep 7 2021, 08:05 PM

Hey Joe,

I hope you can keep up with our 914 in the twisties. After all, I have 76hp.

Posted by: poorsche914 Sep 7 2021, 08:05 PM

As a vendor sponsor, you will be receiving one.

Thanks for your support, Rich!

Yes, it is!

For 27 of the nearly 100 people, this is the first time attending Okteenerfest

Looking for volunteers to be Lead and Chase for each group.
If interested, post here or PM me.

Posted by: sholman5 Sep 17 2021, 02:22 PM

James told me that you need a sweep for the touring group. I'll do it if needed. I will be there on the 22nd if you need any help with anything else.

Jim & Terry H..


We considered going via i-20, but the Hurricane damage made us realize I-30 would be better. If you are going via I-30, you may end up seeing us on the road.
We are leaving Wednesday morning and stopping in Hurricane Mills Tennessee for the night.

Look for the Red Suv pulling a trailer with a 914 on it.

Looking for the letters for the deck lid, I need the following letters

Any condition or color, creating a wall cabinet for spares.

I also need a left side heater valve, the 71 does not seal inside so I’d like to get he heat working again. See everyone in a few days.

As in you could follow it back with the breadcrumbs...er oil drops

The car show will be held on a paved lot below/behind the Convention Center.

The Little Pigeon River runs along one side and there is a parklike setting on two sides of the lot. Should be nice.

Posted by: BENBRO02 Sep 22 2021, 08:33 PM

When I arrived at my friend’s house in Gastonia for the night he offered me a garage spot and pulled out cardboard and put it under my car. Should I be offended or impressed?

Posted by: BENBRO02 Sep 22 2021, 08:40 PM

I stopped by Raleigh (2-1/2 hours detour) and met Robert Finnegan who gave me a FREE set of heat exchangers and taught me how to clean my idle jets on my Webers. What a great guy!

Posted by: poorsche914 Sep 22 2021, 08:46 PM

I got all the "stuff" finished up for Okteenerfest... awards plaques, goodies, printed material, packets stuffed, etc. I think it might all fit in the 914

BTW, I sent out an email this morning with a link to the itinerary. If you didn't see it, maybe check spam folder. If still no show... don't worry about it. There will be a printed version in your packet.

See you soon!

Posted by: poorsche914 Sep 22 2021, 09:08 PM

For anyone interested in the GPX files of the drive route on Friday, you can access them at the following locations:

https://okteenerfest.com/media/okteenerfestAM.GPX
https://okteenerfest.com/media/okteenerfestPM.GPX

You will need an app that reads GPX files.

Simply email you photos to:

obviously the "at" is "@" and the "dot" is "."

remember, if you want your pictures to be right side up, the bottom of your phone should be at the right and horizontal.

1st year I went I got pulled over at almost the same spot. the police set up and catch you just as you are coming out of the Dragon. I was lucky and it was the local police and not the state boys so the fine surprisingly wasn't bad, in fact I was shocked at how low it was.

Posted by: poorsche914 Sep 29 2021, 08:19 PM

The Bumble Bee got pulled over for running a euro tag (which is legal in his state).
Just had to show his state tag and he was on his way.

Posted by: Jamie Sep 30 2021, 06:05 PM

Driving events like this really show what fun little road warriors these old car can be when in good operating condition. I have a 5 hr. drive each way on side roads back and forth to Okteenerfest, and have made it my annual road trip in my teener. I'm not inclined to spend any more time than necessary on Interstates, driving the twisties is a big part of the entertainment value of owning these cars.
