QUOTE(michael7810 @ Jul 30 2019, 12:19 PM)  I may be the first casualty of Okteenerfest. My wife has just been diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and will start radiation/chemo immediately and probably won't finish until early September...then surgery. Way too many unknowns for me to be away from her so I'm out. I have 2 rooms booked which I will cancel over the next couple days. I understand if there are no refunds and if that's the case can someone mail my t-shirt? I will, however, try to drive my car on 9/14. Maybe next year. Have fun and stay safe. AND DON'T PUT OFF GETTING A COLONOSCOPY!!! Oh no Michael! Nadine and I are very sorry to hear about your wife. Absolutely you need to stay there....right now she needs all the support you can provide. We will obviously miss you but we will be thinking of you and your wife. Tell her to get well soon from all of us! And absolutely your registration will be refunded. Did your friends ever register and sent money? If so, who are they so I can refund them too. |

There are a bunch of people that have hotel rooms and have NOT registered yet. PLEASE...do not book a room until after you registered. Reserving yourself a room under the block because you THINK you might come, then cancelling the room after the special rate date is pretty rude to those that genuinely need the room because they are actually coming.
This happened last year in Helen - people booked rooms, never registered, then cancelled the room after some people that couldnt get a room already decided not to come. And when those rooms opened up at the last minute, the rates were now MUCH higher than our negotiated rate was. Again...PLEASE do not book a room unless you are definitely coming. (I understand last minute changes in plans and all that you need to cancel... but at least register and send payment if you're actually planning to be there). |

OK so we have some great sponsors! Tarett is one of the best.
Anyone need a front Swaybar?  With the quality of Tarett it is hard to completely give away this $525 setup but Ira is offering one at a 30% discount. Also, swaybar installation will be one of the tech sessions this year! So for those of you willing to buy the swaybar at a 30% discount, sign up for the tech session to have it installed while you are at Okteenerfest! Because of the limited time at the event the best option would be for a people that have a swaybar currently to sign up for install portion. But we won't limit peoples ability to sign up but if you don't currently have a swaybar installed you can still get the 30% off but the install will passed to someone else that committed to buying. If you don't win the tech Session install, Ira has committed to offering discounts for anyone else that wants to make a purchase. So talk to all of your friend and see if we can get enough people to buy so that you can get the following discounts 10% of for 1 to 5 kits sold 20% for for 5 or more kits Oh and Ira will ship all of them to Okteenerfest so you wont have to pay shipping! For full disclosure, I committed to Tarett to buy the tech session swaybar at the discount. I did this so if no one else commits to the 30% price, we will still have the tech session. If someone else will buy the swaybar, I will pay for one at the discount Tarett has offered. |

@914dave
Hello Dave, yes I am coming, and I can't wait to see your awesome car again. Bob, sorry for registering for the hotel, ahead the event registration. I thought the hotel block expired before the event registration, but I could not find those dates on the website or in this thread, I must have missed them. (Edit- Block of rooms are released Aug 12th, it is in the Okteenerfest email) Either way, registered for both, and check is in the mail. Thanks to all for coordinating! |

Ron Thomas and Tucker at AASE Sales are some fantastic supporters of the 914 and all classic and modern Porsches. I have called them with some of the strangest requests for parts and they have always come through.
 They also come through in showing their support for Okteenerfest. Last year their prize packages were the most sought-after prizes for the event. This year will be no different!

QUOTE(Mblizzard @ Aug 1 2019, 05:37 AM) Was just by chance looking over the install instructions. I love detailed diagrams because if someone puts this much effort into installation instructions, you know the parts are going to be top notch!  |

You all know Vintage LED provides quality lighting solutions for many vintage cars. This year they are introducing a smaller more compact solution to converting the 914 to modern LED technology.
 We all do performance modifications to our cars but this in one that will pay back many times in increased safety and visibility. Not only is Matt and Vintage LED providing a set for the prize drawing, they are sending another set for the tech session where they will be personally attending to answer all of your questions! PM me to get entered to have the LED headlights installed in your car. There will also be some additional goodies for the lucky winner. As if that is not amazing enough, they are also providing a 15% discount on purchases as an Okteenerfest special. It will be hard to match this discount so if you are considering going to LEDs go to Vintage LED and use code OKTEENERFEST15 to get a 15% discount. Even if you are coming to the event and entering to win the tech session, go to Vintage LED and buy. If you win, I am sure there will be multiple people who will be glad to take them off your hands. This is an amazing show of support for the 914. Thanks Matt! |

I think we all know Ben of 914-6 WerkShop makes great products and does some amazing stuff. Anyone doing a six conversion or has missing engine sheet metal 914-6 WerkShop has you covered.
 If you coming to Okteenerfest it gets even better. Ben is sending a complete set of 6 engine sheet metal for some lucky attendee!  He is also sending some discount cards and while not quite ready for the website, Ben is also expanding out to make 914 mufflers! They are similar to the OEM 911 mufflers internally, so they flow nicely. They retail for $850 but for Okteenerfest attendees and 914 world members he is offering a considerably discounted price of $700 plus shipping. We are working with Ben to get some photos and will get them up as soon as we can! |

A usual Restoration Design is helping out!
 Peter is going to be providing samples of their new alternator harness and engine regulator harness for demonstration and possible installation. He is also planning some other goodies that we don't know the details on yet. But he is also going to continue the Front Trunk Spring Discount he provided last year. The 20% discount on the springs brings the price of a set to $49.60!  PM me for payment details and specify early or late. I will bring the spring to Okteenerfest for everyone that makes the purchase. |
