From daily drivers and outlaws to garage queens and concours winners, all 914s are welcome at Okteenerfest! Make plans now to join other 914 owners for some fantastic driving, plenty of socializing, give-aways, and more. What’s that? You say your 914 is on jack stands? No worries. Plan to attend anyway as there is always an empty seat available. You won’t be disappointed.

Okteenerfest returns to its roots in the Smokies of east Tennessee and will be held in “the quiet side of the Smokies”... Townsend, TN. This year’s event gives you a choice of two routes: Taming the Dragon (featuring multiple passes on the Dragon) and Photo Tour of the Smokies (a leisurely drive through the Great Smoky Mountains with stops for scenic photos).

In addition to the driving, Okteenerfest features tech sessions, an awards ceremony, world-class entertainment, tons of give-aways from some very generous vendors, a Peoples Choice Car Show, and some of the nicest people you will ever meet gathered in a single place.

This year's Car Show will include some of the 914's "In-laws" in the form of vintage aircooled Porsches and V-dubs.

The fun begins THURSDAY afternoon with event check-in. Watch and be amazed as fellow teeners arrive and the parking area fills up with a kaleidoscope of colors. Meet up with friends new and old to catch up on what’s been going on the past couple years!

THURSDAY evening will feature a short “sunset drive” to experience the beauty of the Smokies followed by a simulcast with the guys attending Red Rocks Classic in Utah.

FRIDAY begins early with the “main event” – TWO drives on the area’s fantastic mountain roads. With planned rest and lunch stops along the way, the daylong drive is a 914 lover’s utopia.

SATURDAY begins with a People’s Choice Car Show followed by a “free” afternoon to go for a drive, check out the traffic jam in Pigeon Forge known as "Rod Run", or relax and rest up for the evening's activities.

The Awards Banquet this year will include the magic of Terry Evanswood, a Master Magician performing over 25 years in Pigeon Forge.

There are also other planned activities to be held throughout the weekend such as Tech Sessions, 914 Quiz, and more!

SUNDAY morning will bring the sounds of 914s rambling out of the parking lot as the event ends and attendees head home.

What more could you ask for? Mark your calendars and be sure to join other 914 owners for some fantastic driving, plenty of socializing, a bit of showing off, and a truckload of give-aways in a unique setting that you won’t want to miss.

WHY "OUTLAWS & IN-LAWS"?

With its mixed parentage of Porsche and Volkswagen, the 914 finds itself in a unique place when tracing its family tree. On the one hand, the 914 has the DNA of Porsche #1 with its mid-mounted engine also found in Porsche racing legends such as the 904 and the amazing 917. On the other hand, the 914 is chock full of VW family traits from interior bits to the original 1.7L type 4 engine. As you can imagine, family reunions can be a bit, shall we say, awkward.

Even among its own ranks, there are 914 purists who look down upon any customization. Adding flares and a flat 6 as a GT Tribute is okay but woe to those who add a big 6, racing decals and aftermarket wheels. You have just become an outlaw!

In an attempt to rectify this situation, Okteenerfest 2022 is proud to bring the two families together during the CAR SHOW portion of this multi-day event. The local VW clubs as well as PCA members are invited to bring out their vintage air-cooled machines for one huge family reunion!

That would be awesome. I stick out like a sore thumb in Maryville in my yellow 914...I was smart though and changed out my license plate (or "tag" as they call it here) within the first day or 2 of arriving. wink.gif

Will have to hold off registering this year.

Our 14 yr old Akita, Stevie, is just holding on. and putting her in the kennel to come down would probably be the end for her. even though the kennel we use has been very good with our dogs for years.
She is not good with strangers, so having someone come to take care of her is out of the question.

Family comes first.

biggrin.gif lol...

Would love to join as well, but I will be spending late September prepping for the SCCA Runoffs at VIR...leaving that following Saturday...

If you're in the area of VIR the week of Sept 24-Oct 2, come find the big white "Maximum Attack Motorsports" trailer in the grass paddock to your left as you're driving in toward the main paddock. Not driving the racer 914* - look for that car at the Lime Rock Historics over Labor Day weekend - but I will have kegs at VIR and free beer to any 914 owner that drives up to our paddock spaces. Lookin at you, @Ham Inc (same general location we were in 2019).

- GA

*Close...its water-cooled Axis cuz, the Toyota MR2. our race is 10/1 Saturday afternoon.

Sounds like fun! I'll see you Thursday night via the simulcast from Red Rocks biggrin.gif beerchug.gif

I would love to make this, but gonna have to wait until I am retired. I will need two days to get there and two days to get back (it is a 10hr ride and this body can barely handle 5hrs per day in those stock seats). One more year of this work ish and I will be ready.
rgalla9146

I'm sorry to say I won't be able to do it.
I'll be on a long planned visit my to daughter as well as a few days in Crete.
Plus, my engine (fingers crossed) will be too fresh to take such a long trip.

Wuss...

We have done Okteenerfest for years, and it is 13.5 hours of driving. We have even done it with 2 914s, driving all the way.

Only reason we are not there this year is we are going to Red Rocks. We will see everyone on the simulcast!

This is an event I'd love to get to. But its so hard to take off time during the school year.

I drive down this way whenever I head to Denton/Texoma and its just about the midpoint for me at 12 hours. Just too far for me to get to while I have littles that I also need to get to school on Friday and Monday bookending the weekend.

There are so many good roads out this way too!
