Hotel reservations made! Waiting for web site to open for registration. Now all I have to do is completely reassemble the interior of the car, install my new engine, buy and install a front sway bar, fix numerous electrical issues, and generally sort all of that out before October.

What that could take a single weekend? Not a problem. Right. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I hope I get it all done!


Mike,
You should be able to finish that by October with no problem... but save the front sway bar until last just in case you start running short of time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


True Steve but after seeing your video I think the sway bar is a requirement! Maybe I can leave the motor out?

FINALLY got confirmation concerning the autocross...
The Okteenerfest Autocross will be held at the HUGE parking lot at Splash Country in Pigeon Forge (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
We have arranged to run with the Smoky Mountain Region so there will be other Porsches in attendance besides our 914s. Should be a fun competition for Fastest Time of Day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)This is a BYOB event. Feel free to bring the adult beverages of your choice for use at the evening gatherings. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Soft drinks, water, coffee and tea will be provided throughout the weekend so you won't go thirsty.

FYI, In order to keep the registration costs lower, and allow people to enjoy their beverage of choice, we decided to make the entire weekend a BYOB event. This way if you don't drink alcohol, or we don't provide your specific preferred adult beverage, you don't feel you are funding the costs for others.

The autocross will be held at Splash Country in Pigeon Forge (about a 30 minute scenic drive from Townsend with one very fun curvy section).
We will be sharing the course with the local PCA region so there will be other Porsche models besides the 914s being run.
There will be separate Okteenerfest awards for our group.
The fee for the autocross will be announced as soon as we know what it will be. Most likely in the $25-35 range.

Here is a "graphic" of the drive. Tried loading it to the above thread but I got a database error.

For all those that have been following Nadine and my adventures with the Dragon Hill Climb, register and attend so you can run up the same road as the Hill Climb! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Bob we all are counting on you telling us how to do it right! Or at least pick up a few pointers on what not to do. Hopefully my car will be ready by then. Engine is in. Just need to adjust carbs and such then on to the interior.

If you have never experienced the 318 curves of the Dragon, now is your chance to do so with a group of 914s. This 11 mile stretch of twisting, turning mountain road will challenge any 914 driver and is guaranteed to put a grin on your face.

As the second leg of Friday's all-day drive, "Der Nebelbergring", we will travel south "up" the Dragon and then further south and east into North Carolina. If you desire more time on the Dragon, you will have a chance to return on Saturday afternoon during "free time".

As a bonus, you will have to drive the Foothills Parkway to reach the beginning of the Dragon. Yeah, I know... nearly 15 miles of scenic sweepers to reach 11 miles of insane twists and turns. Such torture.

Just remember, the Dragon is known to bite those who lose their focus.

I'm officially stoked for this event. I just spent a week in western NC and was fortunate enough to drive some of the roads and see the scenery. Should be a great even all around. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Based on a request from Steve, I have secured a number of items that will be donated to the event and distributed as the organizers see fit!

Register it will be worthwhile!

Thank you, Mike! You have quite the selection of goodies to distribute. We really appreciate that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Also, I'd like to mention some others who have stepped up with donations:
• Jim McIntosh is donating a custom, one-of-a-kind Okteenerfest frame.
• US129Photos.com will be offering a discount on photos from the Dragon and possibly custom poster(s).
• A friend of mine in Pigeon Forge will be supplying coupons for savings on Old Time Photos and/or accessories. Not exactly sure on the details.

If you would like to donate goodie bag items and/or door prizes, please contact me or Bob (naro914).

And everyone else... sign up already! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

Add to that list a must have if you are doing any welding. A fire resistant full leather welding jacket. It may be hot but it saves lots of burnt skin!

More to come!

We are pleased to announce that John Forbes at Black Forest Racing will be sponsoring our trophies and supplying us with some 'unique' items to use as trophies (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) . John is certainly a 914 expert...at any given time there are at least 20+ 914's at his shop...

John has also indicated that he plans to bring a very special 'barn find' 914 he recently acquired. You'll want to see this!!
