REGISTER NOW! at https://okteenerfest.com
THURSDAY - The fun begins with event check-in. Meet up with 914 friends new and old to catch up on what’s been going on throughout the past year. Optional "Sunset Drive" to view the sun setting over the Smokies.
FRIDAY - The “main event” – a drive on the area’s fantastic mountain roads. With planned rest and lunch stops along the way, the daylong drive will feature challenging mountain roads and amazing scenery.
SATURDAY - Marvel at the "rainbow of colors" at the Car Show. Find that much needed part at the Swap Meet (or sell some of your junk stuff). Attend a Tech Session or two. Go for a drive. Take a nap. Feast at the awards banquet. It's a day filled with activities!
SUNDAY Revel in the sounds and smells of dozens of 914s firing up to hit the road for home.
What more could you ask for? Join other 914 owners for some fantastic driving, plenty of socializing, and a bit of showing off in a unique setting that you won’t want to miss.
Lodging info and more details can be found on the web site at https://okteenerfest.com

If I get Betty's car back, I hope it makes it to Okteenerfest. And she will definitely be driving it there if it goes.

Looking forward to seeing you both.

$149.50 plus tax

Just seeing this. My email notifications are either never sending, or not receiving from World.
I answered your DM a while ago, though. Im hoping to bring the R32 as I do not own an even remotely running 914. However, I have at least one transmission being dropped off to me there. So, if anyone has a trailer Id be happy to load it with some stuff

My wife and I just registered. This will be our first. Since we usually have an anniversary vacation sometime in September we will combine this event with that and instead of staying at the official hotel, we are going to make a full week out of it and rent a cabin up in the hills.
Looking forward to it. Hope to learn more about our car from all the experts.

Michael, I hope you make it. I would love to hear/see your car on the road! (I only saw it in the garage one time when I came by to look at some seats). A very interesting build. I am sure the engine is a screamer at full tilt!
Steve, is there an attendees list to see who all has signed up so far?
Thx!!!!

You can subtract 2 attendees and 1 914 from the list. We just had major storm damage to our home and face a few months of construction and cleanup so will skip this year.

Hope you are all well and that you are able to get that work done soon! Maybe they will get you taken care of quickly. Im sure if you are able to and change your mind there will be room for you to rejoint us. Phil

Yeah, his property got hit pretty hard. LOTS of work
Hope to see him next year
LODGING UPDATE: As of this morning, there are FOUR rooms left in our block. Wow! that filled up quick
Alternate lodging next to the Highland Manor are Best Western Cades Cove Inn (pricey!) to the south and Tremont Lodge & Resort (cheap... ) to the north. Of course, there are plenty of other options in Townsend including vacation rentals.

Totally understand!!! I am questioning my sanity
Phil said he is flat towing his car.
I am offering to my wife to drive the “Chase vehicle”…with my cars, there is always the chase vehicle

They are donating (2) 16x20 prints.

Quick question... do you think a Okteenerfest swap meet thread might be valuable? Or just do it here?
Posted by: poorsche914 Aug 30 2023, 08:40 PM
I was actually wondering the same thing... Maybe start a new thread and we can point people to it.
Thanks for inquiring.
EDIT: I made up Swap Meet thread http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=366951

A huge shout out to Dave at https://maddogsmotorsports.com/ for supporting Okteenerfest EVERY YEAR since 2013 
Posted by: ClayPerrine Aug 31 2023, 08:46 AM
For those of you going to Okteenerfest, I encourage you to participate in the "Tech Quiz."
This year we are doing something different, and it will not be the same. You have to bring your significant other or a partner to participate. The way it works is this:
You will be give a an answer sheet with 10 blank lines.
Your partner will be given an 914 part in a ziplock bag, and they will have to describe it to the group. There will be a list of words in with the part that the cannot use to describe it.
Example: The partner is handed a bag with a bumper mount in it, I.E. the dog bone. Words you can't use would be "Bumper" "Mount" "dog" "bone".
It can be described as "Something your canine companion likes to chew on."
It doesn't have to be a description that is car related. Just something the people sitting down and writing the answers can understand.
Alcohol is not only allowed, it is ENCOURAGED!
If you don't want to participate, then come for the entertainment. Watching people who are half drunk and know nothing about cars try to describe car parts is hilarious.
Posted by: poorsche914 Aug 31 2023, 09:01 AM
And the support keeps rolling in!
http://www.vintagecarleds.com/ is donating not one but TWO sets of LED headlights! 
Posted by: poorsche914 Aug 31 2023, 12:42 PM
https://www.rix914parts.com/ is also supporting Okteenerfest this year with a variety of door prizes and some goodie bag items.

Will we be breaking up the pack into different groups for the drive.
Posted by: Tonyooc Sep 2 2023, 04:11 PM
I just installed new seatbelts and resealed my rear window.

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=21763 will you be driving or towing? there are a couple others from the SC region will be heading up
keep in touch just in case if having an issue. this happened to me a couple years ago.
I'm in Bluffton, and will probably head out fairly early thursday and mostly take back roads unless i decide to flat tow.
Phil
@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=23719

Posted by: Rusty Sep 11 2023, 06:42 AM
Nicely done! Has an email blast gone out to participants?

Hey Steve, I love my collection of Okteenerfest T shirts, and this appears to be a good addition, looks like the Delphi Green on my 73 teener "Dad's Mistress!"
Your designs are the bomb!
Posted by: poorsche914 Sep 11 2023, 04:45 PM
Your designs are the bomb!Thanks, Jamie.
Using a blend of yellow and lime green ink... won't really know what it will look like until printed. With the shading, could be Delphi or Ravenna

very nice, i like the over lapping E's to read Ok-TEN-erfest, is that for Tennessee or Ten years? also - since its50 years for the '73 model nice touch using a '73 on the shirt too.
BTW what color will the shirts be, red like the picture or any color we want?
Phil
Posted by: wvspin2 Sep 12 2023, 01:44 PM
Registered and the Hotel is booked.
Looking forward to attending, This will be my first one !!
Do you want to caravan there?
Ok, we carved out the time to express to Townsend, TN. What's the current itinerary.
Do we need reservations for hotel stops along the way. Warren & Karen
Ya, just so you know, we don't have project (914 on legs/feet) has other modifications scheduled. We will be driving the Boxster (engine in the middle
) similar to the 914. Warren

Phil
Wow, you are sharp today!
Yes, the two smaller E's form a larger E to spell TEN for 10 years.
And good eye on noting the '73.
Now... look back on the previous years since 2019... each design represents '70, '71, '72.
Future years will carry on that design element up to 2026.
I like adding details like that into my designs and often wonder how many people actually see it.
Shirts will be red this year.

Folks,
I've created an online photo gallery for Okteenerfest pictures. See it at: http://pics-okteenerfest.dolimpios.com/.
You can post your own pictures in two ways:
1.Open an album in the gallery and click the "Upload" button.
2. Send an email with pictures attached to pics-okteenerfest@agaddo.net.
By default the pictures will be posted to this year's album, but you can override this to post for past years by simple putting the year in the subject of the email.
You can also give each picture a caption when viewing a picture using the controls on the page. If you see your car, please put your name in the caption, or add a caption if you have any information about what was happening in the picture. See controls below:
Please post any pictures that you take, as well as any pictures you may have from past events. This could be a nice archive of Okteenerfest pictures if everyone shares what they have taken.
I hope that you find this useful!
Art

Thank you, Art, for setting this up.
I haven't had a chance to set DNS for okteenerfest.com yet but will let you know when it is done.
OKTEENERFEST ATTENDEES...
As Art mentioned, you can post your Okteenerfest photos from ANY year... simply put the year in the subject. Would love to make this the official Okteenerfest archive.

SOME ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 914s 
Posted by: bahnzai Sep 24 2023, 05:03 PM
Steve,
Another spectacular event!! The 10th may be the best yet. The location for the car show was fantastic, with easy access, some nice shaded areas. It was great too, having so many 1st timers, including the 914 Mob from the Northeast! A very memorable event!
Thank you again for your incredible dedication to put this on!
