Betty and I just registered.

Betty will be driving Frody (400K mile Orange car)

I am planning on Igor (4.0 L) being there.

Poor Elwood has to stay home. :-(

Registered! The boss and I will be there. Trailering the 914 from Indiana

Registered, check in the mail

Registered and check is in the mail

Registered & now I have to put the car back together.

Registered.

I'm registered, and if any of you Yankee 914 folks from way up north are coming through KY and need assistance before I leave on Thursday morning, I may be able to be of help.

Just registered. Planning on driving the 1.7L out there. Super excited!

Registered!

Darn, i messed up my registration..is there a phone number to contact to fix this my email address?

-Robert

Since I assume my 914 project isn't going to be on the road by this event, is driving my 993 down frowned upon? Will I have to keep it tucked away out of sight? LOL

I could just fly down and grab a rental car… but its only 7 hours from my house so I kinda wanted to drive the 993.

-Rich

I would. Great group of people and great event. Even without a 914.

PM Bob Saville (naro914) He can get it corrected.

Why not, I've been known to bring a Cayenne.

Drive the 993! Heck Bill brought his Ferrari one year and even Bob drove his 911 one year!

Finally took care of my reservation and registration today!!

Thanks. I'll consider it seriously now. I'm gonna be there for sure... Registered #31 and check is in the mail!... I'm just not sure if I'm driving the 993 or flying into Charlotte and renting a car... OR if the 914 is by chance driving by then. Hopefully if I don't have my own 914 with me, someone takes me under their wing and has a spare passenger seat spot for Friday's driving tour

-Rich

Bring it - you would regret driving a rental. We love all cars!

I can't be an elitist, I drive a 914!
~Rusty

Thank you Now I'm contemplating hurrying the 3.0 /6 swap to drive her down, LOL. I booked my room and mailed my check so, one car or another, I'll be there. It's only about 7 hours from me. I'll make an enjoyable drive out of it

We might have to place you at the back of the line of 914's when we start the drive!

Getting ready to book my room now. Haven't been in a couple years. This time I'll have a running car and won't have to worry about hurricanes!

LOL, I'll gladly take it! Thanks. Hell, who knows, I might actually hustle and get this damn swap finished by then!

Registered!

I'm there! I'll bring the truck and tool crib again this year. I have a trailer this time so I may bring a few extra items just in case!

Hi all
Just bumping this up...we've been VERY busy the past few weeks/months with our business so if you sent in payment and haven't heard anything - we have NOT cashed checks yet - I'm catching up a bit today...then loading up the trailer to head to Roebling Road for a PCA event (not driving, only as a vendor).

Rich,

I really like the color combo on your car.....looks nice!!

2016 recap

These were the ones we previously did in Banner Elk, like this year.

Registered and Hotel reserved.

Will probably trailer down, I'm sure the car would make the drive, but without AC my GF would be less than happy.

See you all there.

Any Canadians going?

All registered and booked. Counting down the days.

Betty insisted I post this, and it gives a free to the thread.

Last night I had a dream. No, not the one from last Okteenerfest with Bob and Bill in Lederhosen and tu-tus. This is completely different.

I was trying to get the 914s out of the garage so we could leave for Okteenerfest. But my garage had grown until it was huge! And I couldn't get to the 914s because I was trying to get all the camels out of the way. They just kept walking around saying "Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike" like the camel in the Geico hump day commercial. I just couldn't get through them all to get to the cars!


Yea, I know I have an overactive, weird imagination that creeps into my dreams. But at least my dreams are entertaining. Betty's all time favorite is the one about the old, toothless shark attacking me and gumming my legs. I woke up with the blanket wrapped around my legs.


And the first person to come up to me and say "Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike" is gonna get it!!!!

I wanted to throw this out there to all that are planning to trailer your car...
An email will be sent out prior to the event with details, but we have VERY limited trailer parking. If you trailered to Banner Elk before, you know we have to use the grassy area behind the parking lot. This year...hopefully...we will be a bit more organized about it and have people access the area via the side road and not through the parking lot. We will once again have 914 parking only in the back and side lots.

According to registrations, we have over 15 trailers we have to figure out SO FAR. We'll make it work, but just be prepared that you may not have an 'optimum' trailer parking spot and things may get a little tight.... so if you can... PLEASE drive instead of trailering.

i was considering trailering like last year but, its such a great drive from Charlotte to Banner Elk, but too hot from there to here in SC so I am considering taking it up early and leaving it at my sons house in Charlotte a few weeks before, then we can come up that Thursday and leave the truck/trailer in Charlotte and drive the 914 the rest of the way!. Gets some great driving in still on the way up!

Add Michigan to the list, see ya in September.
