What time is group leaving donut shop? Coming up sat am. To enter show do you need to be there by specific time to enter?

Everyone coming should enter the show. It's $10 and it goes to charity.
Quick question: Why hasn't admin given this thread a color?
It would be nice to have as many 914s in the show as possible. To sign up for the show you just register day-of-event. We are planning to meet at a donut shop nearby and caravan over together.

Evidently, Waze dropped the group functionality from their app. There is another way to use it to track a group, but it's complicated in using social media. Doesn't seem worth it
Looks like weather is be perfect, fingers crossed.

Here is the route info for the Friday rally:
We’ll depart the AACA museum at 1:15 sharp. From here, we’ll hit the highway south, before turning off and taking the scenic route on our way to Aircooled Racing.
Aircooled Racing will provide us with hot dogs, beans and soft drinks and a tour of the facility. We’ll get there around 2:30.
Around 4:30, we'll depart Aircooled Racing for some “spirited” driving on some back roads of South Central PA. After that, we’ll head to Underdogs in the city to meet the rest of the 914world members for wings & beer at 6.
We’ll do our best to stay together, but things (and traffic) happen. If you get lost from the pack, simply set your GPS to the next stop and we’ll regroup.
Here are the planned stops and their addresses:
Stop 1: Roof Park – 599 Lewisberry Rd., New Cumberland, PA
Stop 2: Aircooled Racing – 1560 Old Mountain Rd., Wellsville, PA
Stop 3: Antiques at the Turkeyfoot – 1014 York Rd., Dillsburg, PA. This is an old gas station converted to an antique shop on the corner of Williams Grove Road and Rt. 74. There is an “Antiques” banner covering the old gas station sign.
Stop 4: Underdogs Sports Bar & Grill – 3100 Paxton St., Harrisburg, PA. Parking is dicey here. I stopped in today. They told me if you can’t find a regular spot, try parking in the residential area behind the restaurant.
Catch you Friday – it’s gonna be a great weekend!
Here is the route:

I've skimmed the whole thread and haven't seen any mention of a meeting time at Underdogs for those not on the Friday drive
Also on that note, has anyone called Underdogs to make reservations there ? I know in the past we have shown up with much smaller groups and had quite a wait to get in, and even then were broken up into several different seating areas.

Scotty - I think it's in the first post. Plan is for the rally to end at Underdogs around 6 pm. I don't know if resos have been made, but Bob (or someone) definitely talked to them, as they were told to park in the residential area if all the other parking is full.

I'll be coming up later and plan to enter the Concourse around 9am if that's were you guys are going to be. Let me know Friday, but we should have this figured out so the others not spending the night in Hershey, and showing up on Saturday know in advance what to do.

You can join the People Choice Concours up to 10 a.m. If you want to caravan in, then you must be at DD at 7:15
I'm with you. I may not get my butt up that early.

As Len said the "concours" is open up until 10am. Each class gets it's own row so if you arrive later than others you will still be together.
I hope all you 914 guys enter the peoples choice. Don't forget to vote & even if you don't enter your car you can still vote.

Agree, primary focus for us on Saturday is to get there early and scope out the vendor's goods. But we'll need breakfast, Dunkin is close by, and time works.
So see everyone for the drive, dinner, Knights Inn parking lot party, then breakfast and caravan - going to be great weekend. Thanks to Steve, Bob, and all the others who helped plan these events!

Not positive but it looks like we are leaving about 3pm Friday. Tim has to work until then. If things change which they might I'll probably leave Friday morning. I see you are leaving about 9am. I'll figure it out by tomorrow night. Just started my car yesterday for the first time this year. Haven't even got it on the ground yet.

We have windshield cards for each 914 in the People's Choice Show, as well as voting cards for everyone to vote. We will have them in the 914world section of booths Saturday morning. Make sure you come by and get your your car card and/or voting card.

Apr 14 2016, 04:06 AM
Steve -- Just to clarify, there will be two voting sheets. The "official" cpr/pca one & the 914world one?
As I understand it the voting & windshield cards you have are only for 914world peeps.
You will get a separate "official" window card & voting sheet when you register with cpr/pca who runs the show at Hershey. Non registered people can get a voting sheet at the registration trailer for the show.

Yes. We are just going to do our own voting, in addition to the voting PCA does. We will give out awards at the dinner.

I should have no problem spotting that color since it is the same as mine. Unfortunately I just couldn’t get mine back together in time for Hershey so I will be in the other mid-engine Porsche.

The peoples choice concours says they will have an award for the car from furthest distance. They should multiply the distance times the age of the car to weed out the
weenies who bought a car last week in like Seattle.
