Hi,
I thought I'd post a little early to get the word out. I will be leaving for RRC Tuesday morning. Since I live on the Texas Gulf Coast, I am a contingent of one, so I will be driving alone. My 914 is running well, but we never know what will happen. My basic route will be back roads to San Anotonio, I-10 to Junction, and then North through Lubbock and Amarillo. I hope to get to SE Colorado Wed night, and then I will join the Denver contingent for the drive to Moab on Thursday. If ayone is along that general route and can help me, just in case, please PM me. Thanks, Jeff |

Someone has a list of members with phone #s that may be along your route. I forget who has the list. I would try and get this list in case you have any problems on your way to denver. Good Luck and I'll be seeing you in Moab.

Yes. The COOLest people are leaving on Friday morning. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
We have a clan of trojans heading out Thursday as well as Shelby/914 (danny) in a party of one. Everyone else is leaving on Friday. I am stoked to hear that you're coming with us Coloradans. 2 Malaga Red big bumper cars heading out to Moab - it doesn't get any better than that! Looking forward to it! |

I am honored to join your contingent! Ran a final test tonight. Running cool and will still do 92+ by GPS! Car hadn't given up, but I ran out of road! We'll see how the gas mileage is! I love credit cards! I'm not excited, am I? Jeff |

I just read all of your first post in this thread. Who do you plan to leave with from CO on Thursday? There were only a couple of guys planning a Thursday departure and I think they've changed their minds.

My group will be leaving on Friday morning.
If you come through ABQ, you have a place to stay and back-up on the drive. I was just told that I have to fly on Thursday and Friday, so I can't leave for Moab until Friday afternoon, but I will be there in the evening. |

QUOTE(Joe Sharp @ Sep 19 2006, 03:33 PM) Jeff: Post when you get a chance. :PERMAGRIN: Joe How about posting from somewhere North of Lubbock,TX? 11 hour drive, and I am STILL in this stinkin' state! Oh well, holed up in a motel and have one cold one in the cooler! Life is good! 914 ran perfectly! Scary, isn't it? Thought I might have to abort at home (heat), but I tweaked the mixture richer and got the heat down in the engine. Only issue is my computer will not charge from the car, so no navigation. Not a big deal, but I miss it! By the way, if you didn't see my previous notes, I am running L-Jet but no CHT sensor. I put in a CHT gauge, and I put in a variable resistor instead of the CHT sensor for the FI. Now I can set the car full rich to start it, and then lean it out for running. I am finding out that one point seems to give the leanest mixture and still keep the engine cool. The CHT sensor was running way too hot! I'll figure out what value I am using in Moab. My gas mileage is shitty (24 mpg), but the car is running cool and smoothly. It's like the commentators at the 24 hours of Daytona - every little smell, noise bump, vibration scares the drivers!! Hope I can finish though. I'm having a good ride, touch wood!!! Jeff |
