Bill has been trying to get us over to Cumberland now for 2 years, and I think this could be a fun way to celebrate the ECC. I'm looking forward to it, as it will be the first event I'll be able to atend without the specter of grad school the following Monday.
Bill could you tell us more about the camping? Would we be able to set up a 914 specific area? Could non AX folks come and hang out and watch the runs, party, camp, etc? Got pics? Is there a flat fee we could get worked up for the event that would include food, runs, and camping? I will help plan as much as I can, but I don't know how much that will be as I polish off my schooling. Zach |

Cumberland is a day trip from Leitersburg. With a 15+ year old dog, it's a major plus for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

If you offer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) they will come. Add to that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) and it should be a hit

Maybe my 914 will be back in a state of 'running' at that time. Could be fun...about a 2.5 hour drive from Arlington.

We drove up to Kerry Herrs in Kennett Square in about 2.5 hrs so Cumberland should be doable. This time I'm campin' out...

This sounds good, but would SCCA and the Corvette folks accept a bunch of partying NARPS like us? Regardless, an AutoX along with ECC would be a first!

From what Bill was telling me, there is already a small cadre of 914 owners that show to this A/X. I have been wanting to go for years, but have been too busy. Cumberland is BEAUTIFUL country, too.

The autocross is really set up for this type of thing. There is a fence between the runs and the spectators. So almost all of the course except for one tunr can be seen from this perspective. The club is very open to all cars from a beat up green MGB that runs to the entire Pittsburg Steel City Corvette club to the DC Cobra Club and several other clubs. The autocross overs Instructors to ride along for those newbees at no added cost. Anyone can come to the Saturday night picnic for the $10 or 15 ticket where they provide food, soda, beer, and alot of car talk. there are several people that camp out at the parking area with there cars and one of the 914 guys (Steve Lutz - formally from Calif. that drives a look-a-like Davey Allison 914 #28) has offered his place as well.
There could be about 6 local 914s there from my beat up street 75 to the Pfieffers 59 Orange - Bromos look-a-like. The Aircooled 914s could possibly show up if they arent doing anything that weekend but it might be a stretch. The bottom line is that it is not a Stuck up SCCA type event - its a down to earth nice low key event for the fun of doing it. The website www.nationalroadrally.com has alot of info for the events. There is alot of space - so getting the cars in one spot will not be a concern at the autocross and Steves place is wide open but his basement is full of all of his California trophies from events he won - so you might have to listen to that type of stories. |

Is there any interest? Yes! I would say don't be too concerned that there is not alot of commitment this far in advance of the event. Maybe the best thing to do is have agreement on the location and announce the event on all boards to make sure all have a chance to know about it. |
