do all guests have to arrive in a 914? I think that is fair... but I have more than one teener! (One would have to be towed, but hey)
I think my wife would like to attend as well!
Thanks Jim, YOU RAWK!!!

I have been realy busy getting ready for opening Weekend Here at Emerald Downs, To answer some questions, all guests do not have to arrive in a 914. I need to know by Thursday how many people plan on attending the races so I can get enough (no charge) Admission tickets for the races (Kids 17 and under get in free) . Breakfast at the Quarter Chute Cafe (is run by contractors not Emerald Downs ) is located in the racing & commision office Building by the Main gate http://www.emdowns.com/default.asp?cat=5&id=119 and caters to the horesmen it is open to the public. The food and prices are good (self services).

Does anyone in the Puget Sound area might happen to know what happened to my old 914? This was back in 1997.

It was an olympic blue, carbed 73 1.7. I sold it to an older gentleman who had a red 356 Super 1600 tucked away in his garage. He also had a freshly painted red/guards red 914 chassis under a clear tarp in his driveway.

I had purchased a 944, and this guy (probably retired) tried to talk me into joining the PCA.

The car had the Washington license plate "914".

Any info would be appreciated. I'm curious what happened to that car.

I have seen that car! Been awhile but I always thought that it was the brother of DDs garage queen. I haven't seen at events although there was one this last weekend. Go look at the pics that Dave Hunt posted.
There are alot of 914's still in the Seattle area most of them drive. All the junkers, plant stands and driveway projects have rusted away now. I used to see lots of 914's parked or on blocks but not anymore.

Geoff

Jim W, I can't make this event as Monique is coming back on Thursday and I will have to walk the basset hound on Saturday.

No... when I had it, it wasn't a garage queen. I used to tear ass up and down I-5, and used it for bar hopping. Many were the nights that I was grateful for that officer sticker, when I came throught the Fort Lewis gate... out raising hell all night, with no business behind the wheel. I used to be crazy back then.

-Rusty

Who edited my post?

lol Geoff that's my line!

Yeah Rusty that reference to the 356 wasn't there before.

Where in Puget Sound did the buyer live?

Some parts are pretty deep..

That's cold!

I more than likely won't be making this one. I'm hoping to be painting my engine bay that weekend. That's if my air compressor ever arrives.....

I just picked up one from FLAPS, a 2hp 4 Gal contractor style for $79. I can't even get my old one repaired for that cheap.
Geoff

i will be showing up for breakfast jim. can't stay for the races.

kevin

I'll be there, no 914.

I'll be coming and I'll have my 10 year old daughter with me. We'll probably stay for a couple of races. Should be lots of fun.

Dave

I'll be there with my 914, but can't stay for the races.

I owe Kevin some pancakes, and a side order of the seared animal flesh and artificial preservatives on which he thrives.

I'll be there for breakfast but I can't stay for the races cause I have to cut gobs of stainless up for bracket fab. project! AL

I wont be able to drive the 914 to the meeting She is just not willing to start for me after many attempts of this and that.
I fried somthing and can't figure out just what went South as of yet. I switched back to my points changed relays, all the usual suspects to no avail. Oh well I will figure it out.
Thanks Geoff for your offer to come buy and take a look at it last Saturday and Al for your help moral support
I ordered a new injection harness from Jeff today and can't wait to see it.
I will be there but not in 914 style
