Marty, thanks for hosting and for being the focal point for 914ers to unite. Hope you sold a boatload of pipes!

It was great to finally meet Marty and others in person! However, I felt bad that Marty, Eric Shea, and some other vendors had to spend their time at their booths instead of being able to see the rest of the Rennsport activities.
Looking forward to the next one! Laguna Seca was great, but I wonder if Barber Motorsports Park (close to PCNA's home base) or perhaps COTA in Austin may also be alternatives?

Hey Marty, it was great to meet you officially! I was the Scrutineer for the PCA group and that kept me pretty busy for most of the weekend. So much so that I barely got back over to the vendor island.
REALLY sorry I had to miss the meet n greet. I hope everyone had a good time.
Oh, and the Baker 914 ran great all weekend! We had to make a shift linkage adjustment on Friday and raise the front ride height a bit to keep from bottoming at the Corkscrew. Other than that it was tire pressures and gas!
It was great to see those of you that I DID get to see. Can't wait for the next one!
Edit to say that I've got a few pics to post once I get them downloaded. I'll put 'em up here, if you guy don't mind...
The guy in the middle is Brent Knoll who was the other Scrutineer for the PCA group. He has Dave Rodenroth's old 914 roadster race car and is getting it prepped for the track. He also runs a SP1 944.
Sorry, just figured an intro was in order...

Mugs...definitely post the Wayne Baker yellow schoolbus pictures (+others) 914 here ! I do remember speaking to Brent about a new MSDS exhaust part for the 944 spec racers...it just kicked in Our black six was also constantly being scrutineered by these Porsche factory guys. On overhearing one of them viewing the engine, it was something like "Holy scheiss" ! They are definitely gearheads like all of us MartyClick to view attachment

That would be Derrick and Eric, my coworkers at PMNA. Both are very experienced with 962s and 935s.

Marty,
You know you made it when the factory guys check out what ya got in das boot.
(Holy scheiess translates to : "This American and his old 914 might be a problem for us. What if he does this to a modern Porsche and we have no 935s in storage at the ready to counter him" Quick call the factory".
Harold and Ferry would be proud of you.

Jeff...this looks like Ferry Porsche's visit to the PCA Parade in San Diego about 30 years ago. Harald von K did some amazing things to that Kremer 9146gt. The guys that put it back to original Kremer livery had their work cut out for them as well You can chat with Harald on Linkedin Marty
