Count me in !

Looks like I'll be coming this year for my first time. I'll be bringing my father too. We'll be down for Friday and Saturday funtivities.

Alright, I booked. Only way I'm going to finally get myself to Hershey is to just go ahead and book the room early and make the rest of my life work around it this year.

Edit: So I'll plan on being at both the rally and dinner. Not sure yet if it's just me or me and my wife.

It looks like this is going to turn out to be a nice size group of 914s. I can't wait. It would be great if you can let us know if your planning to come to the Fun Rally drive Friday, to the dinner Saturday night (how many?), And if you are planning to bring your 914 to the People's Choice concours at the swap meet.

No racing that weekend, I'll be there!!

Oh yea, a with teener.

Bump to remind everybody that the deadline to send mepstein money for spaces is March 1st. Who needs a space?

Steve, will you come up with one of your great t-shirt designs?

Menno

I don't think I'm selling anything, but I'll gladly chip-in for a space so we have a central place to hang out.

Put me down for all 914 related events that weekend.

Fourteener Motoring will have a large space. And we are going to distribute our own car show voting stuff. Plus Mark's company will have a big space I think. So we will have a place to hang out.

Yep. The graphic artist is working on it now.

I'm in for friday, the 914 show take over, and saturday dinner.

Just giving this a I PM'd Mark for my spaces also. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Guys - anyone else need a space? Trying to wrap this up.

Yup I need a space. Just pm'd you.
Thanks for organizing the swap.

Steve add me to the list of attending. I'm not sure if i will be staying through Sunday. I will be around on Friday night.

Steve

I am planning on making it up this year if at all possible. Not sure how that will go with an upcoming surgery, but we shall see. Seriously doubt if I will be in a teener, but one just never knows.


Shoe

Great!

Just went to make a reservation at the Knights Inn....$99.00 a night + tax for this place?? Who do they think they are, 914 parts sellers? Oh wait, I see it includes breakfast. Is that the stale Cheerios that are in those grimey dispersers by the front desk?

They should be giving you the group rate (see first post in thread). Nick is the manager/owner. You might want to ask for him. He is who I dealt with in setting it up.

Thanks Steve. I guess it would be helpful that I read the ENTIRE thread . Still, I don't remember a group buy the previous years. If I recall, I just booked online to get that $69.00 rate, but good job in getting the block of rooms.

Please add Linda to the dinner list.

Also, I see the PCA has not yet posted the show registration form. Guessing that should be up soon?

I hope they post the info soon. But, IIRC, the Saturday show is day-of-event registration only. So, we just register for that Saturday.

Excellent! Best of luck with your surgery Shoe...hope it's nothing too serious.

Made my reservation for Friday and Saturday night. So looking forward to this.

My son and I would like to join everyone at the Friday night dinner and possibly for the Rally on Friday afternoon. Unfortunately my 914 won't be done in time but at least I will be driving a mid-engine Porsche to the event.

Jeff B

My Buddy and I will be attending again for the Friday and Saturday events. Thanks

I am coming. How do I get up to speed? Register? Pay someone?

If your just coming to the swap, you just show up at the gate and pay your entry fee. If your staying at the hotel, there's a group rate. Read the thread for the list of events. It's mostly a show and pay as you go. It's all pretty informal. You can't really go wrong if you show up. Glad you can join the fun.

I will add you to the list. The hotel info is in the first post. They don't have a whole lot of rooms. So you might want to reserve one soon. Do you want a space at the swap meet to sell stuff? mepstein is handling those reservations. I will post some more info on the drive, dinner Saturday night, t-shirts, etc. next week. With 7 weeks to go we are starting to get things together.

Thanks! So looking forward to this. Please count Staci and me for all the events.

Swap meet spaces have been ordered. Now I'm just waiting to get the info back from pca. Usually that's pretty last minute.

Thanks for handling the spaces. I ordered two. IIRC you have achieve between end to end or side by side. I'd like side by side.

Yes. I ordered all 21 side to side. I asked for them all to be in one row. PCA doesn't communicate back to me during the process so what we end up with .....

Giving this a My room is booked, spaces paid, just need to start getting parts ready to bring. See you all in month or so.

Just booked a room for Fri & Sat.
so put me down for the dinner

Looking forward to meeting other teener owners and checking out the swap meet / show.

Since the GF won't lend me her C300 to drive, I'll be bringing the truck, so that pretty much puts me out of the rally drive. I'm sure no one would want to be seeing this their rear view.

On the plus side I can carry lots of parts.

See you there.

There are usually a couple empty passenger seats. I'll have one. I think a game of changing passengers would be fun.

Ya, I'll need a ride too. To busy this winter with 914 stuff to finish the 914.

Sort of a choreographed multi-car Chinese fire drill ??

Brad & I will need seats for Friday also. I guess we could follow everyone with F250 & trailer.

You guys are such celebrities, I can't imagine there won't be guys lining up to give you rides and buy your lunch!

REGISTRATION IS NOW AVAILABLE - HERE

Once you are done registering, please go to - http://paypal.me/savethe914 - to send Paypal, for the dinner and/or shirt(s).

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.

Background -

Sometimes, this site gives me the impression that there's a divide between the west and east coasts and I'm not talking about the Mississippi River.

It's at the Delaware.

Hahaha

At the Saturday Evening Dinner, we are going to recognize the top 5 builds in the Build-Off Challenge (at the April halfway point of the Challenge). That should be fun.

I knew I had something to do with it.

It's always about you, isn't it Epstein?
