We don't pin event threads anymore. But I will happily highlight it for you like all of the other event threads if you'll use the caps lock key on your keyboard.

Posted by: bandjoey Apr 29 2008, 10:42 PM

GOOD NEWS. I found a new place. I'm in Denton all the time, lived in DFW forever, and didn't know about Eagles. Thanks for the note. We'll check it out. What's the schedule for Saturday, just in case some want to drive up? Bill

Posted by: brant Apr 29 2008, 10:53 PM

I don't have the saturday schedule.. and probably won't get a copy until friday.

however, I always run in group 7 and they will just rotate groups all day from about 8 until 5pm

they will take an hour lunch break probably
and the mornings will be practice, with qualifying mid day and a race in the afternoon...

I'm guessing my saturday race will be between 1:30 - 4:30 but no way to tell ahead of time.

sunday there will likely be a warm up and two more races.

You might want to rethink the date, as you won't get much turnout for it.


The Maverick Region of PCA is having its annual "May at Mayos" event on that day.


And if you are in Bedford, we need to get together and talk. I am in Hurst, and I work part time for Zims.

Posted by: bandjoey Apr 30 2008, 12:27 PM

Hi Clay. I know you but at Zim's I'm only the 'guy with the 914 that spends money on parts'. Several of us have been batting dates around for months, and there's not a good Spring day. The following weekend is pca at Eagles Canyon. (I've been told)

So, we'll stagger on. I'm getting emails and we've got a /12 dozen in the first day. Hopefully more will come and we'll enjoy the meet and schedule more.

What's May at May's? Some might want to drive down there in the PM, if there's stuff going on. Thanks Bill

Posted by: ClayPerrine Apr 30 2008, 02:59 PM

May at Mayo's is a PCA "Picinic". It is held at Mayo Performance in Euless.

It starts at 5 Pm, so you may get some people who show up and leave shortly after.

and I only work for Zims on Saturdays when the regular guys arent there.

Does your 914 run? Why don't you think about coming to Talamina with us this weekend? A bunch of DFW people will be there. Even if your 914 doesn't run, come join us.

Bill: Here's a big

Posted by: bandjoey May 3 2008, 09:03 PM

Thanks Guys...We'll have to get a schedule around..looks like there's a lot of 914's running solo in the DFW area that doesn't know about the racing or events. Here's a pix of my car today and the evolution of what it's (money holding out) going to look like in about a month or 2. I'll still be having fun and some of ya'll can be kind and let me go for a ride. Clay...you probably saw car this sitting behind Zim's in a rusty bucket state. Bill

Ah. so you are the one who bought it!

I know the car, and if you need help.. holler. I can guide you in the right direction.

Posted by: LowGT May 4 2008, 08:16 PM

I'd be up for meeting some people, I just need to relocate my fuel pump prior to the meet since I've developed some vapor lock issues.

I can get there fine, just as long as no one wants to go anywhere for a couple hours.

Posted by: bandjoey May 4 2008, 08:57 PM

I'd have to Locate my fuel pump...it's in a box somewhere...I'm sure we'll be hanging around for a couple. here's my cell...call when you start over, if you're running late 817 905-7937 bill

Posted by: LowGT May 4 2008, 09:28 PM

When and where? There are a bunch of dates and places mentioned in this thread, it has me all confused.

Posted by: brant May 5 2008, 07:56 PM

4 racing 914's are pre paid and registered to run at eagles canyon so far!

Posted by: bandjoey May 5 2008, 10:26 PM

Here's a recap of what's come accross. That weekend there is racing at Eagles Canyon. That Saturday at 5 is a PCA picnic at Ed Mayo's.

Our get together is at noon on Sat May 17 in Grapevine on Main St (at College, I think) at Weinbergers Deli. Parking in the rear. Bill

Posted by: MJHanna May 6 2008, 08:15 AM

First Race on Sat for the Group 7 (Which includes 914's 911's 240z Jags, BMW's cars) will be around 1:30

Mark,
crap.. I guess I didn't realize you were in the 911 last year
I must of seemed like a jerk when you introduced yourself
mostly because I didn't realize who you were

are you going to pit up top, or down below?
hope to chat and even pit nearby

your fast!
can't wait to Re-meet

5 914's are now registered to be there

brant

Posted by: stateofidleness May 6 2008, 08:09 PM

how far is all this from San Antonio?
I'd love to meet some of you guys and drool over your cars!

assuming "chalon owners" are invited lol

Posted by: Grelber May 6 2008, 08:12 PM

It takes me about 4 hours to drive to San Antonio from around there. But that's with a bit of slowness around Temple (the DPS LOVES that stretch of road).

Posted by: bandjoey May 6 2008, 11:44 PM

Mark & Brant...look forward to meeting up with you sometime. I'll be sure everyone get's the schedule and mabey some will come out Sat or Sun. How can we keep up with what's going on at the local tracks? www's, groups, or magazines to suggest? Bill

Posted by: brant May 6 2008, 11:55 PM

thats a tough question to answer
there are about 5 tracks in texas to keep up with ( maybe 6 if you count hallet?)

each "club" has a very different flavor and scene
there is not much out there that covers all of the different "clubs" such as scca, hsr, cvar, rmvr, pca, nasa, etc....

so what tends to happen is that a person gets interested in only 1 "club" and then follows and stays "up" with those happenings.

vintage is awesome, and CVAR is great... because all of the cars are ones that you love, grew up with, or recognize

I dont want to sound pissy but this isnt the first time for this, this is the first GTG in a while, we have done breakfasts and dinners in the past. It was a while back before the split though

Posted by: MJHanna May 7 2008, 06:59 AM

I'm not running on Friday for the test and tune so I'm going to guess that the upper lot will be full on Sat morning. I'll just park on the lower lot. Finally put some supension on the car, now it does not lean like a Buick.
Hoping for good weather. looking forward to seeing you again. cheers

Posted by: bandjoey May 8 2008, 05:33 PM

Spare Time Toys...come and joine. Call some friends.

Posted by: bandjoey May 11 2008, 12:33 AM

Had another call today from George in Ft Worth who's going to try and come. He's rebuilding calipers and might not have his car there though. Right now we've got 6-8 cars and a dozen people coming. Grab-On and come!

Posted by: bandjoey May 13 2008, 07:38 PM

FINALLY...MAY 17 IS NEAR. WE JUST CAN'T FIT EVERYTHING INTO ONE DAY....THERE'S A LOT GOING ON...IF YOU CAN'T COME...WE'LL FILL YOU IN ON THE HAPPENINGS! BILL

Posted by: spare time toys May 13 2008, 11:04 PM

I may see if I can make it. We have a ton of crap going on. The new location is a good one. I love the stuffed spuds or the double cheese burgers there

Posted by: bandjoey May 17 2008, 09:56 PM

GREAT WEATHER. GREAT TURNOUT. GREAT PEOPLE...LOTS OF CARS..EVEN COVERED PARKING!
BILL

THANKS TO ALL WHO CAME..SPREAD THE WORD!

Who parked under that roof with the lid off on their car??? I dont park in that area because the birds are nasty and like doing target practice

Hey Clay! thats special dirt from Talimena drive.

Posted by: Heeltoe914 May 19 2008, 04:31 PM

Thats about the nicest bunch of 914 I have every seen in one place. GO DFW.

Posted by: Thoward914 May 20 2008, 06:44 PM

I wonder which crowd has the largest number of working A/C units in their 914's?

The So Cal group or the Texans?

Great lookin' cars BTW.

Posted by: ChopNotch May 20 2008, 10:50 PM

brant

Posted by: SGB May 21 2008, 08:30 AM

That sure looks like it was a fun time. All the cars under the awning is great looking. How did that get pulled off?
I love the pictures of the owners by their teeners.

Name tags comment is noted for the RCR in October. I can never get names right when I see people.

Thanks for posting all these pictures. That is a pretty big effort too.

Posted by: Thoward914 May 21 2008, 08:48 PM

The best part about taking the pictures is I don't have to be in them.

Posted by: brant May 22 2008, 01:08 AM

some of the TX race pics...
sorry you guys missed

Hey Joey, if you don't wanna do a solo website for the DFW 914's yet, we can meet up and plan stuff on Texas Air Coolers for now. They added an aircooled Porsche section.
