Thanks for the suggestions. AJ Foyt huh? Pretty cool. I don't really know of the new drivers. But, I'd love to bump into some of the old timers. If anyone wants to join us, we would love to do the museum Saturday morning, go to some of these hang outs in the afternoon and meet up for dinner with anyone that wants to hang out and talk/look at 914s Saturday evening.


It's a plan! I'll see if we can get the speedway to make it a sponsored 914teeners event! Jerry this means you have to get your car done by May!!


May of what year??????
I am making good progress though.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) May 28, 2016 Mine still has no engine in, no interior, and a ton of reassembly. I should have joined the Challenge. I spent the weekend cleaning out the garage and cleaning parts to start to put it back together. We have to get it done by April to take it to Hershey. Then up to Indy.

My guess working in a carolinas garage in winter is a little more pleasant than in Indy!

Just bought tickets. I'll be there. Looking forward to meeting some members on Saturday, parking together, going to the museum, partying and then going to the race on Sunday.

I may join for a Saturday get together but it's so far in the future, who knows what I'll be doing then. I end up working a lot of weekends, it seems. I do have a 2056 that I'm building that could feasibly be done and installed in time to drive my car but at the rate I'm going on it, I'm not sure. But, it would be fun to meet some Indy 914 owners anyway! Back in the late 80's-mid 90's, I worked at a commercial photo lab and we did all of the printing for IMS. During May, it wouldn't be unusual for me to work 80-90 hour weeks to get all the Speedway printing done. On race night, we had to work all night to get all the film processed (pre-digital) and contact sheets made and back to the track so they could get it ready for publication, etc. I even got to choose the shots used by IMS for the "milk shot," "winner's circle" and other things that IMS used. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the prints I did are still for sale in the museum gift shop. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun but totally burned me out on the 500.
After we went digital, I stopped doing as much daily print work for IMS but we did do quite a few larger format prints. I also ended up doing the Conseco/NASCAR signage for the Brickyard the one year Conseco fielded sponsored a car.... IMS had a huge Fan Fest display that we did all the signage for.....I now work for CNO Financial (formerly Conseco) doing digital printing of boring insurance policies/marketing materials.
Anyway, sorry for the long babble....maybe I'll see some of you guys there at the track in May, with or without my 914.

I got notice today that we got our tickets issued. Finally (we ordered them the day after Memorial Day). So I guess we are going. We are going to drive the 914 up and use it as a shake down trip for a longer trip we want to take next year. Anyone wanting to caravan from the Southeast let me know.

I figured I would bump this, since it is only about 9 weeks away. Who wants to get together in Indy? Also, we will be driving up from Charlotte if anyone else is coming from the south. Maybe we can caravan.

I'm in if it isn't during work. If you want to get out of Speedway (it will be crammed packed), a couple exits North there is a restaurant called the Boat House at 56th/High School Road that is pretty good. Fairly easy drive from Speedway.

I think we are going to go to the motor speedway museum Saturday afternoon. Then meet you all for dinner, wherever everybody wants to meet.
