Fall Foliage 2005, add a driving event? Options

[seanery]

We're hashing out next year's format. One of the items under discussion is a driving event of some type.
We have 2 venues that we can rent for a Track Day (DE) and we are looking for Autocross venues.

DE will probably cost each driver $150 or so Track choice will probably not raise the entrant's price much if any. One is cheaper, but the other is popular so we could fill it by allowing non 914s to run. There will be a lot of seat time available. Possibly 2 hours + for 1 day at the track. The track will sell us insurance (not for your car). This would most likely be the Friday event.

Autocross will probably cost each driver $30 - $50. A lot of that will depend on the venue and insurance costs. I would expect a 914 only A/X to allow us to get 5-10 runs each, depending on when it fits into the schedule.

If you are one of the people contemplating attending next year what do you think? If you aren't thinking about coming please don't respond (sorry) this thread will help shape the schedule.

Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Rich, you'd be more than welcome to drive the taildragger.
How was the rest of your trip?

had a great trip.

didn't like coming in second in two events but oh well - that's competition ;-)...

disappointed that the drive didn't come off Saturday but i think you did exactly the right thing to make the hard decision to cancel that activity.

sorry we missed the Sunday drive but we slept in (we were both very uch in need of some time off...) and made our own trek over to Nashville, did the tourist thing, and continued the trip down to SW Kentucky to visit Joy's parents. two days there and then we headed East, did a tour of the Maker's Mark distillery, and headed home, made it back to SEPA late Friday evening.

3,0 flat-6 (with a 914CLUB sticker...) ran just like it should, good trip, glad to be home.

glad you're considering "all" Porsches driven by 914Club members for a proposed AX. if i can get everything done to the car i expect to (for Parade and beyond...) i think it'll be scads of fun in that venue...
