Now that the WCR is over, it time for you to plan your 914 birthday weekend. You can head southeast for Okteenerfest or northwest for the Teener Turnout. Here's what you can expect in the PNW. Our Saturday schedule starts with a tech session at the Porsche Dealership in Fife where we'll take a close look at the 914 and the 718. We'll use the shop space with lifts and examine the cars from top to bottom. Then we'll take a drive around the south sound and I've been getting lots a help from the local PCA tour crew so we will be traveling fun roads. The tour ends at a park in Kent where you can join in and celebrate Oktoberfest. We'll be parking the 914s on the paved pathway right in front of the event so they can be viewed and envied by all the other P car owners. You don't need to drink beer to have fun at this party although plenty of people will be doing that. Your $25 ticket gets you one beer and brat. I guarantee you'll be smiling and laughing when Manuela Horn and her band start their show. Sunday we'll meet up at a local restaurant in Kent for a parking lot car show. I have someone who has promised to create a video of the cars and their owners. The restaurant offers a great brunch, but if you're not a big eater (or just cheep) you can just order something off the menu too. Lastly, we'll have a presentation by Mark Greene of Car Yeah This is the guy who designed the Griot's headquarters and he's a Porsche nut to boot. We should be done by 1:30. If you'd like to get a t-shirt with the logo or a hat, I can help you with that or I can send you the art. The PCA club will have someone at the Saturday tech session who will make up t-shirts on the spot, if that suits you. I have set up an account at Motorsportsreg.com where people can register for any or all the session. We use this site to manage events in our region and it works great. If your thinking of attending, I urge you to sign up using that site, but if you're in fear of "the Web", you can just PM me and I'll put you on the list. The only cost for any of the activities is for the Oktoberfest and the profits from it go to the Rotary club that sponsors it. I can arrange for you to buy tickets without using the website, if you'd like.

Rich confirmed it this morning. I'm fucking nuts! Taking on a new weekend event is like having another job!
The dealership who agreed to host the tech session is eager to provide a venue, but they are much too busy to sit down and work thru the details. Last week, I waited 25 minutes in their showroom only to find out that the guy I was meeting with had to run out. The general manager promised me that they would find time to meet again. On the bright side, Mark Greene has been very helpful. I'm sure everyone who attends the brunch on Sunday morning will be entertained. He's going to talk about what he has learned after interviewing over 1300 "carguys" (and Gals). Here's a link to Mark's podcast for those who don't know him https://carsyeah.com/ Its time to check your schedule and sign up for the fun. NO SEAHAWKS GAME that day. They play on Monday night. https://msreg.com/914turnout |
