This year will be a little different than the past ones. We will hold it down at my shop. I have a nice two post lift and access to car scales so we can get your car weight and if need, try to and corner balance them. We can go for a drive or??? later in the day.

Doug, check your PM's.


This is great, it will be nice to see some old (no pun intened) 914 friends and to make some more new ones.

My cell number just in case you need it is 219-730-6418 don't be afraid to call.

Just a few notes for everyone. Please remember my shop is in a light Industrial area of Portage, so it might not look like much, but it is safe. Also for those of us with low clearnce issues becareful when turning in where the shop building is. We have had a few small craters develope, they are easy to see and avoid, but just want to make you aware of them.

I will have two poster boards (bright green or orange) with 914 -> where turn into the road to the shop and where the shop is. Remember this is the most important of the dirving instructions (in blue & undrelined) :

"Turn Right (West) on Rt 20 and go approx 1 ¼ miles to Old Porter Rd. Watch for big sign on south side of Rt 20 for Jelly Stone Park camp ground. The entrance to Old Porter Rd is on the NORTH side of Rt20 across from the sign for Jelly Stone."

If you go past the sign and miss the turn you will go OVER a small hill before you have a chance to turn around.

Lastly there is only one other shop inuse besides mine in the building so we will have plenty of parking. That is the first shop in the building so after that (his name is Phil) we have the rest to use. Please follow the way I park my 914 so we can have the 914's lined up to get some pictures.

I can't wait.... see ya Saturday!
