Okteenerfest 2015: 914-6 GT - the Giant Killers

September 17-20 in Banner Elk, NC.
Please note the change from original dates of 24-27. After we had set the original dates, Porsche moved Rennsport Reunion to the same weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
With so many 914 guys headed to Rennsport, we decided to move Okteenerfest to its new date. Sorry for any inconvenience to those who may have already planned time off from work, etc.

This year's honored model is the 914-6 GT in celebration of the 1-2-3 Marathon de la Route (86 hours of Nürburgring) and other wins in 1970. Whether you have a real -6 GT, an original -6 converted to GT specs, or a -4 "tribute" GT with flares and big tires, they are all welcome at Okteenerfest. Join other 914 owners in their more mundane versions of Porsche's street-legal go-kart for some fantastic driving, plenty of socializing, a bit of showing off, and a truckload of give-aways.

After two years being held in the Smokies of east Tennessee, we have moved the event east into the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. There are so many awesome roads in this region it would take days to drive them all. We have selected a route for Friday's day drive that includes not only a ton of twisties, sweepers, and ear-popping elevation changes but plenty of stopping points to get out, stretch, and enjoy the scenic splendor of the mountains.

With this new location, we hope our friends from west of the Mississippi will still join us while at the same time bringing in new attendees from north and east. If you have not been to an Okteenerfest in the past, mark this one on your calendar. With a growth of over 65% in both attendees and 914s present from 2013 to 2014, we expect 2015 to be HUGE!

In addition to the driving, Okteenerfest will feature plenty of good eating, an awards ceremony, tons of give-aways from the most awesome vendors, a Peoples Choice Car Show, and some of the nicest people you will ever meet gathered in a single place

Yes You Do Mr. Blizzard!!

This weekend Nadine and I are going to do some scouting out of the routes, lunch spots, dinner ideas, etc. I'm hoping we can get a few things nailed down so we can get registration open soon. Each year when the venue changes, so does all the rest of the stuff that goes into it so we have to start all over again.

Our lunch stop on the Friday drive is my biggest concern. Winding fun roads out in the middle of nowhere are wonderful...except they are out in the middle of nowhere with no place to accomodate 100 people!

I will report back next week!!
