Don't think I'll be able to make the auto-x (they don't allow spectators, right?), but I'd love to meet up for lunch afterward if you guys aren't totally beat to hell.

Lunch on the 17th might be possible for me.
Unless they changed their rules, you can spectate, but you must get there before they start because once the gates close, they don't open again until lunch time/end of day.

I wondered that too... If it had been Teresa or Tammy I would have worried about gender reassignment surgery

The plan is to be at the donut shop on Sunday. I will bring pics to prove I have a 914!

Thinking I'll come out and shoot photos during the AM session of the Auto-x and then maybe a beer or whatever when you're all out. Not going to be able to make the 18th though.

Mark's meeting me at my place in SR @ 8:30. What time do the gates close at the track?

I am leaving for the donut shop in 5 minutes. Registration closes at 0930 so I would expect the gates to close at about that time.
Let's get ready to rumble!!!

Well we had a great day! Albeit, too early a start but... Jim and I met at the donut shop at 0700 and left from there. We flat towed the 914 all the way from Sacramento to Santa Rosa. She followed like a kindergartener on the way to recess, frisky to get moving but obediently staying in line.
We arrived to find McMark the burger boy and his sidekick Roadglue talking to Joe Lee who has a new Raby 2316 turnkey motor in his 912. I teased him relentlessly all day long - "hey Joe, you should hear your motor from back here - it sounds amazing! Oh yeah! That's because it is supposed to be facing this way in the car!" Joe took it like a sport though... He found boogers in his idle jets after the event though. Oh wait! That is impossible! There is no such thing as bad gas is there???
I had 2/3rds the fun Jim had. Something went South on the DJet during my last two runs. Actually, just before I finished the last of my first lap of three. The engine flooded badly and killed and I coasted into the infield where I sat until we towed out after the event...
Mark was taking pictures. Maybe he will post some here?
See all of you locals tomorrow at the donut shop 0900 to noonish!

I'll be there. Rob, you still wanna trade a 12-pack of Anchor Steam for my set of 914-4 A-arms (with sway tabs)?

Another great day at the Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion! Alex and Michelle showed up in Gwen's old 914 2.2 Six before I even got there followed by Geoff (Strawman), Randy (raw1298), Brett (Biosurfer), my wife (Yopu), and my son (Nicho914), and finally late but not to be counted out Jim Dupree (jcd914). Randy (raw1298) even came by my house after the event and picked out a tasty front lid to replace the POS his 914 currently has...
Thanks to all who came and sorry we missed you if'n you didn't!

Hi Rob and crew,
Good seeing at the Auto-X yesterday. Figure out what caused the car to die at the starting line?
Mark left his camera at home, but I've just uploaded nearly 400 of pics I took at the event over at my Zenfolio portfolio:
http://pixelrandy.zenfolio.com/p169018355Still another hour or so of uploading to do, so check back in a bit for the full gallery.
Another Randy here on the forum? Blasphemy!
Cheers,

Great shots Randy! The one of the front of my 914 is now my desktop background!
