Great idea.
Will do, Steve. Do you need tip $ too?
Nope. Tip/taxes are included.
Brad and I will miss the drive tomorrow, heading to Jersey to get some more parts. Will meet up with you guys at Underdogs if I can find a place to park the truck and trailer over there.
Made it to Knights Inn. Stopped at Funks for a beer or three. See you guys tomorrow.

I'm driving up with my region (40 Porsches) so I won't arrive until 9AM. Hopefully its not too late to enter the Concours.
Yea, won't make it. Thought it was next weekend. Stuck in l.a.
Just rolled in to home. What an awesome 2 days all around. Started for me at the rally, lunch at air-cooled, more rally, half of us losing the lead group but meeting back up at Underdogs for dinner & then the famous (or infamous?) Knights inn Friday night gathering, Saturday to the swap & show, back to Knights inn for more parking lot hanging, then I headed home.
I'm sorry I had to miss the awards dinner on Saturday night but I'm sure the food will be tasty, the drinks will flow & the group will have a blast. Thank you all for letting me hang with this most excellent group! 914 people are the best Porsche people. I thoroughly enjoy this event every year.

Despite running on 3 cylinders (at idle, at least seems to run fine once off the idle circuit) we made it home Saturday evening, 180 miles sans issues.
Thanks to Mic, Brad, and others who helped out for a late night jet cleaning party at the "Inn".
This was our second year to participate in the Friday activities, and this year with both of my sons (who stole the teener for the drive leaving me with the other flat four, Suby style...). Had a great time, thanks to all who helped put the weekend together!

Best thing I can say about the Weekend (Friday and Saturday) is it was a perfect outing. The best people I know are Car People, always a good crowd to hang with. And there's someting about being a 914 person that is special like our cars.
I live about 46 miles from Hershey so made daily trips to and from. Saturday I left home in Shrewsbury around 8:30 and hoped on I83 and was immediatedly escorted buy around 20 Porsches coming up from Maryland! We ran together in heavy traffic until I got off I83 to cross the river via Rt 30in York and hit the back county roads. Rt 462 out of Columbia follows the river north, then Rt 743 goes north east directly into Hersey. Got to the Concorse at 9:20. Had the 914 top on going up and returned same waywith top off. Very light traffic both ways.
I have a couple pictures. These are the two I like the most. There was this Japaneese Family, Mother Father and Daughter along with two well dressed American men, one being an interpritor as the family didn't speak English. The Daughter was standing in front of my car posing for pictures. When they started to leave I went over and said don't leave untill you get a picture of her sitting in the car. Wish I know who they were? I do this alot when the Kids who want Dad to take a picture of them with the 914. The 914's are Kid Magnets.
The other picture is of the 914 that PCA donated to Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology. This is a two year College in Lancaster Pa that is under a grant to help Students who can't afford a lot of money towards an education that will get them a job after Graduaation. 90% of Stevens Grads are hired immediately after graduation. The cost per year is $7,104. The Automotive Tech Students (6 of them) got this 914 out of Air Cooled Technoligies Barn (the Barn we saw Friday) and did a total restoration. I was Auctioned off at the Swap Meet with a Reserve of only $ 6,000 to cover expensives for the Build.
The Last Bid I saw for the 914 was $ 6,000, a Deal of a life Time for somebody. Hope they got more. The car, IMO, was worth at least $8K to $12K.

Linda and I want to give a heartfelt thank you to Bob and Steve for pretty much hosting a terrific event for World members. The rally, the show, ( the weather....wait, you can't take credit there) all the food, and best of all, the turn out, would not have been nearly as successful as it was without you 2 guys. You've established a pretty high bar to beat next year and we have the utmost confidence that it will be a memorable time. You guys are the best.

A special thanks to Steve for taking the lead planning it and to Mark for dealing with the PCA and handling the spaces at the swap meet.
