PS: altough POC and PRC are not on that list, i would be surprised if they didn't allow those as well ...

Very cool. I'll be in San Francisco that weekend looking for something to do.

Who wants to pick me up? I'll pay for gas.

UPDATE:

"Street 914s will be on-track in noon touring sessions and in a 914 corral in the paddock. A 914 party will be sponsored by the 914world.com group."

if the wife doesn't want to go, you can hitch a ride with me ...

Andy

how far outta moterrey/carmel is Laguna Seca?

Laguna Seca is about 3 miles from the center of Monterey on the road to Salinas.

I've dragged out the stock air cleaner and bird baths. Next- look for enough stuff to make an intake snorkel. Have to rejet the motor so it will work all choked up- but well worth racing at laguna

I may have to get a night job for the next few months and take another vacation this fall! I Mazda Raceway. I would to fly around that track with a bunch of you guy's and gal's!

I'll be there with bells on.....maybe more....can't wait to get the New converted Thunderbolt Greaseslapper out on the finest roadcourse in the West....how about camping and DRINKING...after the driving....

I have reseverations at the RV park there at the track for the 26th thru the 30th.

Paul, if that is your pic in the avatar, I'm sure we can work something out...

guys, this is still ON!

even thought our connection with Victory Lane Magazine hasn't quite worked out the way it was planned, the race is still on.

i haven't talked to anyone at VL in weeks, so i'm not sure about the 914 corral.

i'm planning on attending at least one day (as a spectator) ...
Andy

You won't be there alone Andy, I'll be there and probably for both days. Are you going with your sweetie or are we destined to get stupid at some bar?

I can live with that....hell, with the colors of our cars....we'll look like CHRISTMAS.....

All of the materials that the SFR/SCCA has produced for this event say that it is a 912 festival.

Andy, what are you talking about there are "912-6s" everywhere....aka 911.....

We will be there camping both days. I get 3 laps in my C4S in conjunction with porscheplatz. My 914 is not likely to be ready.

Are we going to make this happen?

QUOTE

• Porsche 914 Festival

I am going to make a go at it.
Is the 914 corral going to happen?
I got the info to late for the Heratage races and had to park my teener among
the common folk.

I just talked with Pam at Victory Lane and she said that there's going to be an area in the paddock to park your 914 and some social things too.

Apparently there is no one in "charge" to drive this event so it's "loose" and "vague" according to Pam.

She said there was someone organizing it by the name of "Brad" something but that person has "backed off".

She said that she would contact me if there are any changes and I said I'd post all her info here as she relays it to me.

well, who could that guy be ????

Andy

Pam couldn't remember his last name...

Go for the racing! This is a killer event. Last year they cracked up an F1 car on a practise lap for our amusement! This year Porsche LMP2 will somehow beat the dreadfully boring Audi's. I will wear my 914 t shirt.

I'm heading to the Peridot Oktoberfest tent!

B will probably be at the "other" corral pretending not to know us...

Ouch

Felix,
What kind of beer should I have ready?

I like Hefeweizen but I'm not too picky. I'll contribute to the beer chest!

just got off the phone with pam, we're going to sit down next week and go over the whole event.

we'll work it out!

Booh! I'll be missing all the fun again... I'm not yet back from vacation by then.

Patrick,

I'm flying in on Friday and will be there for at least one of the days on the weekend. I'll gladly contribute to the beer/food fund.

Let me know what I can do. Maybe I'll bring some Tastykakes.

well, the site in question is run by the SCCA and not victory lane.
i sent SCCA an email 2 days ago asking to correct the website and the accompanying PDFs.

they *did* change the website, but the PDFs still say 912 ...

I'm so jealous...
can't afford the gas, time, entry fee this year.
maybe next year.

2 of my buddies from RMVR are going, but with 911's.
you guys will have to give them the courtesy 914 support.
I can wait to see how their times compare with the California crowd. Will give me a benchmark since I know one of these guys (Robert Ames) is a bit faster than me.

brant

I might be able to work this out. Are we caravanning? I'd like to drive my 914, but I've never gone that far with it and I'm nervious. I guess I have a month for confidence building test drives.

Hey Mark,
I am thinking about driving my 74' bus.
It has a tow ball if you need a lift.
Think it can pull a 914?

Mark...why worry....what could happen? Follow Andy and I down....

If my girl is road ready, i might make it down for this....stay the weekend in big sur and hit the twisties a couple of times...!

i'll be there, without my car though. its still under construction. can't wait to meet some of you guys and support this club.

Add my name to the list. At least for Sunday.
