Hiya -

Maybe I missed it, but what exactly is the schedule?

Other than the banquet at 12:30 on Saturday, when are the drives scheduled to start and are there any other "events" (car show?)?

As a semi-local (San Diego), I'm trying to figure out if when I need a hotel room or not.

Friday is good for locals that can get away on a Friday and optional for out of towners. Newcomb's Ranch opens at 9:00am specifically for the local Porsche community. It's a great drive and will allow interested parties to experience the local So Cal Porsche culture! Thus the participation in Super Car Sunday as well!

Experience as much or as little of it as you like. driving.gif

I won't be able to make it to WCR but I'd like a shirt!!

Anyone interested in a trade of a new, never worn 2018 Okteenerfest event short sleeve t-shirt?

XL for XL?

Let me know.

Hey All,

Sorry for lagging - I'm also semi-local and planning/hoping to join some of the festivities, but don't need a hotel. My 914 may be out of action, not sure, but I should be able to make the Sat lunch and Supercar Sunday portion.

Can I please get on the list as a partial/maybe attendee?

Thanks

That's our new route for Saturday. Not going to mess with possible closures on GMR or E Fork Rd.

Going to drive up to the lookout for an Epic photo shoot and drone footage. Awesome road and no one gets lost! One way up & One way down! first.gif

Good call Jeff. Lots to see there and plenty of big pull off areas. Maybe a small group up GMR....but I doubt it will be open.

Here is some background info on this route.

Located in the San Gabriel Mountains of California, in USA, a northerly portion of Highway 39, also known as San Gabriel Canyon Road, has been closed since 1978. The estimated cost to repair the highway is $100 million

The road is closed indefinitely to automobile traffic because of persistent landslides along its route. Route 39 is one of the more varied state highways in the Los Angeles area but portions of the road are partially covered in dirt or badly eroded. It’s passable by foot or bike, as major sections are completely washed out down the west side of Mount Islip into the canyon below. The zone seasonally receives extreme snow levels, avalanches, and rock slides. The road is asphalted, and pretty steep, with a 7% grade average. The local geology and slope instability continue to impede necessary water flow, and cause extreme flooding of the roadway at times. The last 4.4 miles of SR-39 that intersects with SR-2 (the Angeles Crest Highway) at Islip Saddle, and the biggest problem area, reaches an elevation of 6,500 feet at the highway’s highest point; it has been closed since 1978 due to a major rock slide.

I remember those. I had a blue Datsun 2000 in 1969.
This is shaping up to be a great reunion so I wanted to make this gentle suggestion. Don't be "that guy" that holds everyone else up because they failed to fill up the night before; needs some air in their tire, etc. There will be enough "naturally occurring 914 problems" to repair in the parking lot. Being somewhat local, I didn't get a room for Thursday. With Friday AM traffic being as it is I'd better leave Temecula by 5:30am so we don't hold anyone up. beerchug.gif

There is a Shell Station directly across the street from the hotel as well as the commercial center that houses the Panera so no lame excuses like, "Hey, can we find a Shell Station as my car only runs on V-Power fuel?"

Ok..Paypal sent yesterday.

It will be good to see old friends and especially our Northern cousins from 2015 and some out of state folks along with a few new cars.

Thanks to Jeff to organizing and as always Oscar.

Bitter sweet for me selling my car this year. I will hang out here from time to time but probably not as much.

See all in a couple of weeks.
