Wow...the response is overwhelming for this event.

Anyone else planning on going? Last year was a good time even without my teener, but I am planning on driving it up this year. Anyone caravanning from the central Texas area? I will be leaving from Austin and going up through Dallas on the way.

Hope to see some more chatter as the event gets closer.

Tony

Tony,
You are more than welcome to hook up with me when you come through Dallas. There will be a contengent of Dallas folks at the event, but we may be leaving at different times... I plan on arriving at "The Ranch" in the early afternoon on Thursday.. I will be driving my Suburban, loaded with goodies to help out anyone along the way -
In years past we have met at a McDonalds in Greenville at 9:14 AM

Thom Ewing

Tony, glad to see ya on board. Looking forward to going for a ride with you this year. Ya owe me right? We got some great drives planned. We'll see some of the best asphalt Ok has to offer, and Northeast OK has some of the best there is! Hint. We'll visit OK's oldest town, and the town that don't smoke m-r-j-u-n-a. All proceeded by great 914 roads.

Curt

Thomas -

Thanks for the info, I mainly wanted to try and get the chatter going for this event like I have seen for many of the others. So, a group of people usually meet at 9:14am on thrus? I will have to wait and see if I have a copilot or not for this event, but it would be great to drive up with a support vehical

Curt -

I definately owe you a ride or two! I am afraid that conversation isn't quite as easy in my car, but I promise it will be fun I am really looking forward to the event, just got the time off of work and going to call and get my room. Lets keep the chatter up

Yours,

Tony

Is this place in Oklahoma dry--BYOB type of place?

No place in Ok. is dry. We abandoned the byol stuff many years ago. Open clubs only. Ya know, liquor by the drink, just like most everywhere else.

Ok, I do see Black Jacks Saloon listed. I was just thinking of that time in Poteau--when Charlie had to haul all that 3.2 beer home.

3.2 beer in the grocery stores. Strong beer in the liquor stores and the clubs

I can hardly wait!!! This year Oklahoma has had a nice dry September, I am hoping it'll hold out for the Ramble.
I am trying to plan my trip, does anyone know of a posted event schedule? Just wondering, how many of us will be coming from the Tulsa area?
Cheers , George.

Hello George. Welcome to the board. There are several of us from the T-town area going. Call me for more info. I have a preliminary schedule, but it's not concrete. I have three awesome drives set up, and a couple of wonderful dinners. We think this will be the best MUSR in recent years.

Curt 918-902-5002

A finalized schedule will be forthcoming very soon.

Here is a rough overview as it currently stands:

There are tours scheduled each day followed by dinner.
There is a tech seminar on autocrossing Friday morning.
There is a tech quiz Friday afternoon
There is an autocross Saturday morning.
Car show and swap sale Saturday afternoon.

And much more.

I'm looking forward to the drives this year had to ride last year. still was fun but not as much as it would have been if my car would have been there. George welcome aboard and be good to meet ya.

kevin

I'm coming, reservations are made!

I can hardly wait!

Thom

Wayne,

Excellent!

If you don't have your car, I'll give ya a ride on one of the tours

sweet! the car can't make it, but I agree with Thom: the MUSR will give me the motivaion to finish!

Wayne,

Thats exactly what it did for me last year...the car is by no means finished, but it is making it to the even this year!

The more the better

See you there...

BTW...any more definate plans on a Dallas area caravan heading out on thrus?

Tony

dunno, if anyone needs a ride on Friday though, I'll be glad to have the company!

Tony,
When do you think you will leave on Thursday from Austin?
I am going to be picking someone up at DFW airport, and then leaving for the MUSR...
But I won't be leaving Dallas until later in the day... as early as 2:00 and as late as about 6:00... Still working on the details... There are at least 5 of us from the DFW area going...
Thom

Thom,

Well, I was considering leaving for dallas on Wed night and staying with some friends, cause I though people were meeting around 9:14 on thrus morning, but if you arn't leaving till the afternoon then I will just head out thrus morning.

You tell me, I am totally flexable, but would like to caravan with some people if possible. How long a drive are we looking at from Dallas? I know it will take me about 3 to get to Dallas...

Tony

Tony, your looking at another 4 to 4 1/2 hours to the lodge. I can give you guys directions to the lodge that you won't find on the maps. I'll post that here later.

From DFW airport, according to Mapquest, its about 254 miles, and about 4 hours and 20 minutes. But that that also depends on what time of day I will be eastbound on 635...

onrails, Are you on the list at the top of the page? If not, PM me your contact info please... I also need Tshirt sizes for everyone! Thom

That won't be too bad...so I guess there is no official meet up site yet? Anyway, let me know as soon as something is worked out. I can't wait! I put 600 hard miles on the 914 last weekend (canyon running) and car took it and asked for more...so this trip should be a breeze, if not a little loud

Yours,

Tony

OK...since I seemed to kill this thread earlier (damn I am good at that) I am going to try and bring it back from the dead...

Less than a week to go till the big event, what are you rushing to do to your 914 to get it ready? Here is my list:

- Replace shifter bushings - arrived yesterday

- Change the oil - duh

- Install new spedometer - fully electronic, thread coming soon

- Fix tranny leak - damn old spedo drive cable

- make new breather box - damn high reving Raby motor can't breath

- Install Firewall carpet - *might* get to this one

- Wire in hot start relay - long drives = push start right now

- finish my oil cooler shroud - almost done, decided to go traditional here

Anyway, I have a busy saturday ahead of me where I will hope to knock out all this stuff...what are you guys doing?



Tony

Tony,

I don't think you killed the thread. Ford relay cures the hot start. Works great on mine.

I have installed my other "Pilot" driving light.

Replaced some burnt out tail lights.

New bulb for trunk. I now also have an engine bay light.

Cleaned up the engine bay wiring to some degree (Mallory unilite, Hyfire & Pro coil adds up to a lot of wires.

Installed two inline fuel filters (one for ea. carb).

Adjusted valves and cleaned idle jets.

Still need to change oil and maybe re-check the valves.

For any of you guys from texas coming up alone, you may want to consider camping. About a half dozen of us are planning on doing so. We've got a site picked out (w/hot&cold showers) and have a large "Camp 914" sign. We will circle the 914s like wagons and sit around the campfire.

I'm keeping my cabin reservation up to the last minute, but it looks like the weather is going to be nice.

Mine needs;

oil change
valve adjustment
tps set
co set
front tranni seal repalced
Ford realy( damnit!)
Good looking passenger

But I have 5 cars that must be ready to go, so I guess mine will suffer till I get back.

Sorry Craig, We've borrowed the camp914 theme. This will be a real campout 914.

i am soooo out. sorry, you guys will have to try to have fun without me ....

i'll pass the AX torch to this years winner!

happy MUSRing!
Andy

Andy,
let's you and I go next year!

I will carry the 914world.com banner to the MUSR this year.

-Rusty

P.S. Do we have a banner?

Rusty, did I read that you will be at Western Hills? Just wear your hat like the rest of us. Looks like some good tours in store for us.

Curt

Hat?

Actually, I'll be there, but in my Jeep. I'm arriving Friday, and leaving on Saturday. I'm spending time with my son, and he'll be with me.

It's a "guys only" roadtrip.

-Rusty

OK...got everything done...so I am ready to roll tomorrow,

Anybody meeting up in Dallas Area to drive up?

I am flexable on my leaving time from Austin, and Dallas will be a good place to stop for a stretch and a bite to eat. However, I would rather not be arriving to the event in the dark...SOOOO....I should have about every tool to rebuild the entire car, but its always good to travel in groups



Tony

Tony,

I don't know what route you're taking, but I'm headed east on I-40 from OKC tomorrow (thursday). Hopefully I will leave around noon or so. I can adjust my departure time somewhat if you want to hook up. I plan on arriving in time to setup camp and make the 5:00 tour.

Joseph,

I am waiting to hear back from the dallas crew, and really don't have a route planned yet, but I will keep you posted as things develop today.

See you soon,

Tony

Well, it looks like I will be leaving austin between 8 and 9...so I figure dallas around 12 for lunch, then hopefully be at the event around 5ish...

So I figure the only way I could meet you Joseph is at the I40 and I69 intersection...is that how you are going in?

Anyway, here is my cell# 512-775-9461 ... if you think we can meet up that would be great, but you dont' need to wait for me.

See you tomorrow!

Tony

Tony,

If you were taking I-35 to OKC and then I-40 to #69 we could meet in OKC. But it you're taking #69 all the way (which is probably shorter mileage wise - maybe time wise too) to Muskogee, there is not much sense in meeting.

I hope you have a good drive. My mobil is 405-615-9000 if you run into any problems.

If you miss the 5:00pm tour, I will try to call you and give directions to where dinner will be so you can join in if you like and do the 2nd half of the tour. Although, after your drive you may not feel like anything but

Some pictures from the Sat. tour.

#2

unpinning...hoping to see pics soon and hear the stories!

Just back from the ramble. Great fun. Still have to download pics from camera.

A little bad news:
DD killed Ed Mayo's pushrod at the AX.

Dave Foreman lost a tie rod end on the highway. car is still in wagoner.
"On rails" killed his own car when he lost it in an off camber turn and landed in a creek. Unibody is bent. Will post pics of the carnage tomorrow.

Good news:
Joseph 222 kicked AX ass!
cha914's new RAT 2056 is awesome.
I won second place in the car show.modified 4 division
It was good to see rusty home safe.
Awards banquet was 5 star.

Comeon guy's. We're dying here. How about sharing......
