You can subtract 2 attendees and 1 914 from the list. We just had major storm damage to our home and face a few months of construction and cleanup so will skip this year.

Sorry to see this. I missed 21 because of a major plumbing issue. So feel your pain. Good luck sorting it out

sorry to hear that, your not far away from it either. Was this from the line of storms that just came thru this past week? we had some local damage here in SC from those as well, not far from us . Hope you are all well and that you are able to get that work done soon! Maybe they will get you taken care of quickly. Im sure if you are able to and change your mind there will be room for you to rejoint us.

Phil

Yeah, his property got hit pretty hard. LOTS of work
Hope to see him next year


LODGING UPDATE: As of this morning, there are FOUR rooms left in our block. Wow! that filled up quick

Alternate lodging next to the Highland Manor are Best Western Cades Cove Inn (pricey!) to the south and Tremont Lodge & Resort (cheap... ) to the north. Of course, there are plenty of other options in Townsend including vacation rentals.

Steve

ok i just booked my room so 3 left he says , so i guess that means im ready to go!

Just booked room ...looking forward to seeing everyone again. Al

I’m booked and looking forward to it (but not the drive). We’ve got a crew coming from Philly.

-Travis

Registered and Hotel is booked, excited for the weekend and the to catch up with everyone!!

Loving your name.....lol

Registered and accommodations booked.

A few Philly guys grabbed a VRBO in town and cancelled 2 rooms we had reserved so the hotel should have more space now if needed.
-Travis

I just registered and booked my room. The hotel said I got the last room.

Looking forward to joining for the first time this year. Only 2 months to get my 914 ready!

Bump

Hoping to make it this year...

Seems the hotel is out of rooms.

I'm so ready to do this!

Less than 50 days to go, any word on how many 914's are coming?

I just installed new seatbelts and resealed my rear window.

so are you ready to roll?
@Tonyooc will you be driving or towing? there are a couple others from the SC region will be heading up
keep in touch just in case if having an issue. this happened to me a couple years ago.
I'm in Bluffton, and will probably head out fairly early thursday and mostly take back roads unless i decide to flat tow.
Phil

I drove there 2 years ago. Not sure if I'm towing or not. I will also be leaving early Thursday. I'll keep in touch.

Rooms at the Highland were filled, we got a room next door at the Tremont.
Looks like walking distance.

And Registered.

Will be driving down from just east of Pittsburgh.

See you all then.

Hey Steve
What’s the head count car count up to?


@MDTerp glad to see you signed up. Keep in touch for caravaning down

We are at 88 participants! That's 4 more than signed up last year and there is still time for all the procrastinators to register

Woohoo it's going to be could.

Hugh and I will be there, but due to catastrophic laziness (mine and others) another year has passed and my car is still not ready......
Oh well, maybe next year....

Are people staying at an alternate hotel?

Thanks,

There is no specific hotel for overflow but Tremont Lodge is next door with many other options in the area.

Never know what MSDS will stuff into the Doorprize box. @Steve seems to be all smiles with his big tube 9146 ceramic coated exhaust headers, looks like a right side

Can’t wait to get my 3.6 and these headers onto my car. I got side tracked with shoulder surgery for awhile. See you Marty at Rennsport!

Thank you, Marty!

You know, every time this event rolls around I get excited for just a second, thinking its here in Oklahoma. Then I remember. Ah well, one of these centuries...

We used to have an event that was, a lot of the times, in NE Ok/Arkansas area. Mid US Ramble. It faded away with a wimper when nobody signed up for it.

Search this site for MUSR and you will find past events.

Oh I recall the MUSR. Course my teener's never been running for it, but that's another set of therapist's issues for another day.

@Tipster0554
Tip is coming out of Blythewood, SC with an Outlaw 74 Sunflower Yellow and would like to caravan with Phil and Tony, if schedules workout.

I would love to, but @914dave has convinced me to watch him waste tires, running away from us and the philly crew for a few days ahead of the event
love ya Dave

I still have not decided if I'm driving or trailering yet. My wife had a recent knee replacement so were going over comfort options.

Totally understand!!! I am questioning my sanity
Phil said he is flat towing his car.
I am offering to my wife to drive the “Chase vehicle”…with my cars, there is always the chase vehicle

Phil said he would reach out to Tip to coordinate if you all caravan.

Guilty as charged! But I don’t know about pulling away from you! @bahnzai
