My son and I are thinking about doing the One Lap of America next May? Anybody else considering it or interested? Wouldn't it be cool to show up with a half dozen or more 914s entered.
We have been talking about doing the race since he was old enough to watch the movie Cannonball Run (I think I showed it to him when he was 1). But, it is the first week of May, and when he turned 18 (old enough to enter) he went to college which has finals the first week of May. Since he decided to take the year off of college this year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) we might as well do something constructive. _______ 9/28/16 - Just an update. We are waiting to see the announced courses for 2017. I spoke with Brock today and they will be announced soon. Once we see the courses we can decide whether we think the type IV might be able to do it. Another idea has come up - if we don't do the official One Lap event, we could get some 914s together to create our own one lap of America-style drive. Or do the One Lap event without the full track days. I am looking into that now. |

We have regularly run cross country is a 914 to events all over the US. I actually like Blasting across the US in a 914. Sandy and I drove from MN to Hershey P.A., stayed for the swap meet, got up early and hit the road for home. Same deal with Medford OR. event. That was a loooong haul... We would regularly drive over 1000 miles a day. Steve, We may have to think about this event.

This year is Okteenerfest. 1014 miles one way. We will be doing it in 2 days. Normally we take both 914s, but mine is laid up getting the new engine. If I were going to do this, I would consider a small trailer (unless they are against the rules ) to hold the tools and spares. Just unhitch and lock it up while on the track. |

I believe trailers are allowed. We are just now starting to explore the rules. But, based on my reading you can do anything to your car along the way, as long as you are carrying whatever parts and tools you need. If I understand correctly, you can't stop and buy parts. So a small trailer carrying everything you might need(extra engine? :-) would be helpful. I would hate to go through all the trouble and expense of the thing, and then break down during the first few days. |
