SEPTEMBER 12-15, 2024
TOWNSEND, TN

Okteenerfest will once again be held in Townsend, TN – the peaceful side of the Smokies. With a location bordering Great Smoky Mountains National Park and within a 30 minute drive along the wonderful Foothills Parkway to the world-famous Dragon and its 318 curves in 11 miles, the mountain roads in the area are some of the best in the southeast. Where else can you experience multiple series of twisties, sweepers, elevation changes, and amazing views? All just a short drive from the host hotel.

THURSDAY – The fun begins with event check-in. Meet up with 914 friends new and old to catch up on what’s been going on throughout the past year. Optional “Sunset Drive” to view the sun setting over the Smokies.
FRIDAY – The “main event” – a drive on the area’s fantastic mountain roads. With planned rest and lunch stops along the way, the daylong drive will feature challenging mountain roads and amazing scenery.
SATURDAY – Marvel at the “rainbow of colors” at the Car Show. Find that much needed part at the Swap Meet (or sell some of your junk stuff). Attend a Tech Session or two. Go for a drive. Take a nap. Feast at the awards banquet. It’s a day filled with activities!
SUNDAY – Revel in the sounds and smells of dozens of 914s firing up to hit the road for home.

Okteenerfest has already paid for itself with us. I had a list of projects that we have been dragging our feet to complete for the last few years.

With the event fast approaching, we have finally got off our butts and completed quite a few of them. Thanks to Dr Evil, I've improved shifting quite a bit (damn 1st gear) but not quite 100%. Then, we dug out of our project box a bunch of parts that we bought when the problem happened but never got around to it. Finally did the heater lever trim bezel (I can't remember when I bought the part). Today we finally rebuilt the drivers door stay.

May even wash the car - probably not, the drive through the mountains (our route includes Tail of the Dragon) and then the week at the cabin (on a long dirt driveway) will just get the car dirty again.

Can't wait so see all the cars and learn new things.
