Folks -

It is a bit late in the year to start planning an entire event from the ground up, put it together and actually expect people to attend it in a 4 to six week period - Clay and Tony had been talking about having this event in Fredricksberg, but October is impossible due to Oktoberfest is celebrated there the entire month of October... Hotels are already fully booked ...

So after much consideration, this is what I am proposing...

Due to time frame, we piggyback an existing event, and no one has to kill themselves this way -

Porsche-Palooza is a national PCA event taking place in Eureka Springs, AR, November 9-11th. This event is put together and ran very similar to the MUSR's... Meet and greet registration Friday, cocktails Friday evening, show and shine and at least 2 different cruises Saturday, and a formal dinner Saturday evening, There is also a Auto-X Sunday AM - This appears to primarly be a 911-996-boxter crowd, but since it is PCA we won't be crashing their party -

Distance from Dallas to Eurecka Springs is 375 miles, so please make sure your car is in good working order - If you don't have a 914 but want to come, please do ! I have already had a question whether or not someone could drive their Morgan 4 !

You pay for what you want at this event..
No registration Fee -
If you pay in advance prior to Oct. 25th -
T-shirts , $12 if you want one
dinner, $32 if you want
Auto-x, $20 if you want
Motel - ~$75 per night at the event hotel, or ~$45 a night down the street at the cool funky motel, where most of the 914 folks will be -

Joseph Mills and a few of his friends and their 911's will down the street at the funky hotel.. I plan on joining them there -

This is a big event - Last year 117 cars and over 200 participants -
I will be posting this information on all the 914 sites in the next day or so -

Please let me know if you are interested so I can gauge interest, and maybe get a few more rooms put on hold for us -
Below is a link of the event website, and the funky motel -

Preliminary thoughts for travel for the Texas gang include meeting at Wes Hildreths shop Thursday (the 8th) afternoon in Plano, Tx, and driving to Talihina, OK - breakfast Friday AM in Talihina, and drive on the Eureka Springs via the Talimena Parkway - (one of the best roads in the country) -

Please let me know your interest, positive or negative -

I am going to the ECC on the 15th, then will have back surgery. If all is well and Doc. say's it's O.K. to drive that far. 12 hrs. and 757 miles. I really want to go to MUSR because it will be the Last 914 event i will ever be able to attend. As next spring I will find it nessary to sell my 914,I may have to close bussness and procides from that sale will help pay debt load down to a level we can pay on S.S. and my pension.
Please keep this post updated. Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

That's great ! Have you talked to Rich Johnson, or Clay or Ed Mayo about your car? They may be able to help if you can't get the problem solved on the board, or maybe Wes Hildreth -

Rich has helped me lots finding parts. He's great for that. Wes built my tranny, it's pretty wild. I've done everything else myself. Clay has seen the car, but I wasn't trying to start it then. I'm close on it. I want to exhaust my resources before I cart it off somewhere. Does Ed Mayo know anything about late model fuel injection? I thought he was more of an expert on the earlier stuff, particulary mechanical fuel injection and the like.

Avery: Your car was looking pretty close to starting this weekend when I was out at "the shop". I take it you got the fuse problem sorted out?

If not, I'll swap you straight across for my blue one on the lift.................... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It wasn't as close at it looked, but it's almost there. Your car is coming along nicely if you haven't seen it lately. The floorpan is tacked and clamped in place. That's progress.

I'll pass on the trade. I like yellow.

I saw the car on Monday. Looks like Richard is on the final leg. Then once he's through, I've got a bunch of things to do to it myself (front swaybar, Crane optical ignition, dual oil sender, etc).

We're getting close................. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Looks like we'll have some teeners! I was hoping this would happen!

I've never attended this event, but it looks pretty cool. And I like the way you can pick and choose what you want to pay for.

It will be great seeing everyone. Why isn't Clay & Betty's name on this list?

Curt? and your T-Town posse?

When it gets closer, we'll have to get a caravan organized.
