This is the same posting in the "Events" Section of 914 World. The Admins. advised posting in the "World" section with the hope that we can drum up more 914 participants. Perhaps the Admins can highlight in a color?
The Central Jersey VW Society is having its 10th annual "All Air Cooled Gathering" in Flanders NJ on Sunday September 21, 2014. As in the the past I'm inviting all 914 owners, along with any model air cooled Porsche to show their pride and joy. Last year we had over 300 air cooled cars (mostly VW's with the exception of a total of 19, 914's, 911's and 356's). The venue is really unique in that its held at a private German Social Club with a beautiful full grass soccer field (actually several fields) along with German food and beer on tap in the 30's style clubhouse. This is a charity event where a portion of the proceeds will help Operation Jersey Cares, an organization that provides support and care for current and past NJ Combat Veterans. There will also be some parts vendors (mostly VW) and prizes being raffled to raise money along with a DJ for music entertainment. Also this year "Dyno Don" from California will MC the event. For those that don't know, he is California's popular VW personality. This is truly a family event with activities and contests for kids and adults alike. Last year's Air Cooled Porsche turnout was a record 19 cars. The word is getting out in the Porsche Club that this is a fun event for both car owners ad their families. Judging is very low key with an emphasis on allowing every car on the field no matter what level of preparation. So, don't worry if your undercarrage is dirty (sorry CW's). We want this event to be fun for the whole family and consider it perfect for those who are looking for a nice day out with German beer and food and to help out with a good cause. Here is the Website with directions, previous show pictures and listing of the day's events: http://www.allaircooledgathering.com Any questions you can e mail me personally at: dmcdavey@aol.com |

Of course its the third weekend in September....
EVERYTHING is the third weekend in September... I really wanted to go to this, but I have a promise out to my WWII Armored Car guys to hang with them on the 20th in Gettysburg. Least I can do is add some color to the thread title for you. I will get to this event one day. Zach |

I had a discussion with the President of the Central Jersey VW Society. He said if we get a minimum of 6 Porsche 914's we will split the class and go 3 deep with the awards. Can I get some people to confirm they are coming?

This past weekend I was invited to the Southern Connecticut 356 picnic. I promoted this & handed out fliers to each couple. I think at least two more Porsches will be attending.
If you are on the fence about coming then I suggest you fall on the side of going. You won't be disappointed. Here is a video from 2012. 350 cars that year, all air cooled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2zaaSj5E6E This year is the 10th anniversary so it should be epic! For those travelling a long distance my place is 15 minutes from the show with a pretty well equipped shop if needed. |

It's crunch time, September 21st is just around the corner. The President of the Central Jersey VW Society said if we get six 914's committed to attend he will split the class and go 3 deep with trophies. It's time to step up to plate and chime in if you plan to attend. He needs time to have the awards made.

Planning to drive up from the Wildwood show to attend. Although I wasn't going to enter the show (too much damn cleaning!), I will if needed to expand the category.
This is a great show at a terrific venue. Good people, low prices, awesome cars and trucks, and multiple vendors. I'm guessing Ray M. will be attending. Might want to pm him to confirm. |
