This is an event you won't want to miss for sure. Keep checking back here as there may be an online registration pop up as we may have to limit the number of 914s doing parade laps and the driving tour if our numbers exceed 50 cars (hoping for 100 coming from ON, PQ, and the US). As for accommodations, those with tired bones not into tohe air mattress and tent thing might wish to check out Airbnb as rooms around Bowmanville are available for $31 CAN (what is that, about $0.50 USD?). Counting the days and looking forward to bringing you some surprise additions to the schedule. C'mon 914 faithful in the East - let's make this huge! |

Hello race fans! Check this out![size=7]! 1973 Video footage of 914 at Mosport.
So, you may know that the first use of a safety car in F1 was a 914 at the 1973 Canadian Grand Prix at Mosport. See this short video for the history: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rnDAXHy4UD4# But did you also know that there was a pre-race parade of 914s to chaffeur the celebrity drivers around the track? Racers included Jackie Stewart, Emerson Fittipaldi, Graham Hill, Nikki Lauda, James Hunt and others. Check out this video - the parade happens at the 6:34 mark. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=52sMdqUwZmg Hoping to hear from more American friends coming to join us in recreating the Porsche 914 parade with laps around this famous circuit following a recreation of the 914 pace car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) The parade laps happen on Sunday at lunch time, following the 914 car corral, and they are FREE!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) And in case you missed it, admittance to CTMP (Mosport) for the CanAm Challenge and camping is also free!!! This event is open to All PCA members. Questions? Please ask here. Thanks! John Tipper SIG 914 Advocate PCA UCR |

I will try to attend this event! Hopefully nothing interferes time wise. Mosport is always a great time and I encourage anyone else on the fence about going to attend. It is a world class track!

My brother (Andrew) and I will attend, including the dinner and driving tour. Our '73 914 is not currently roadworthy, so we will be spectators for the parade laps. For the driving tour, well, we will use one of our own cars, unless there are empty seats available in a couple of the 914s.
I've been thinking about making contact with Mark Henry. My wife and I ski often at Brimacombe and probably pass within spitting distance of his place on the way there and back. (not that I would actually spit on his place) I was thinking we would just commute the hour-and-a-half to the event from my place rather than stay at the venue. Might change our minds about that before then. I just joined the PCA, and got the additional family membership for my brother. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Now we need those driving in from points West including Chicagoland to chime in and join the ramble to the track. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I should point out that if it helps, you can arrive at Mosport for camping anytime on Thursday and make a longer stay of it. I am planning on camping from Friday afternoon to ensure I'm present to welcome teeners as they roll in on Saturday. If you're driving into Canada with your personal vehicle the border customs should be a snap. For racers that may have unregistered vehicles here is a link with some helpful tips: https://pcaucr.org/driving/club-race/border-crossing/ -John PS, are you familiar with my '76? It used to be raced by Len Larson in Midwestern Council.  |

Really looking forward to this event at Mosport. The track is awesome and the driving tour will be a blast with a good group of teeners. I met Mark a couple years ago and look forward to seeing his shop.
Loading the 914 up with camping gear for the weekend will definitely bring back some memories of 35 years ago with my first 914. Can't wait, any one on the fence should try and make it for sure. Dave Nelson |

Hi John any idea on the numbers?
If we have dinner at Rhino's we'll need reservations. Or do you want to do a BBQ at my place? Either way it won't change the fun run route much. @14carrot |
