I would like to formally introduce myself and my car to everyone. I have been dabbling on the club for a little bit while shopping for a car, and while I working out a few minor kinks in the new car. It is my first 914 after several years of plotting to aquire one, the time was finally right. It is 1973 2.0

But first off, thanks go to Craig for helping me find a nice car and being patient with my anxiety while we waited for it to arrive via truck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Last weekend, the wife and I took the car on a weekend jaunt over the Cascade Range to Central Oregon and back to Portland with no problems - about 350 miles altogther. We even survived a traffic jamb with a little snow while surrounded by many large pickups and RVs on the notorious Santiam Pass.

See attached photo in front of Mt. Hood (the big white thing obscured by the clouds) from Hwy 35 and in the trees on the mountain. This will be the route for the WCC tour, I believe. Hope meet some of you there in July.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Jim, I do resemble my dad to a large degree - seemed to get the car guy gene from him as well........

The wheaten is Lulu, our fourth example of the breed. They are the only thing more high maintenance than a 914! But she's worth it.

PCA Autocross: I am not yet a member - just sent in my form. Can I just show up and watch for a bit? What time?

Please do. We start setting up at 7am with the action beginning at 9am. We're usually there until noon or 1 pm. When you enter the gate at PIR tell them you are with the Porsche autocross group. You will be waved in at no charge. There is usually another event on the track and often those folks have to pay an admission charge. If you want to enter (it is great fun) we have loaner helmets. Cost is $30. Be there by 8am. JP Stein, Gary and Pamela Chapman, Trevor Rice and I make up the hard core 914 contingent. There are sometimes a couple more 914's as well. I will be in the timing tent and driving the black and yellow 914. Look forward to seeing you Sunday.

PS I knew your mom too so it is acceptable if you resemble her as well!

Gary, I thought everyone got the online discount if they were a first timer. Then must register online the next time or pay $40. Could be I was having a senior moment when the rules changed.

Just come on out and play.

Thanks guys. We shall see if I have the guts to take a spin on the course yet. I have never auto-x-ed and am still getting up to speed on the shifting on my car - may need some bushings. Maybe auto-x is the place to do it. The car does seem to have plenty of oversteer as well and that is taking some getting used to.

I have a motorcycle helmet. Does that work, or do I need one rated for auto racing?
