Wow! we just had our 100th attendee registered (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
That makes 62 914s officially registered (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
That is a 24% increase in number of 914s and 20% increase in attendees registered over last year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Its been about four years since I logged onto this website. Someone sent me the details on this event and I am seriously considering driving down from Grand Rapids Michigan. I plan to register in the next week if I'm going to make it. This is going to be the longest drive I have ever made in my 914.
I have a stock 74 914/2.0. I've been the same owner since 1988. Looks like it's going to be a great event. If anyone from Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio is planning to drive there, please let me know and we can try to connect.

It is pretty amazing what this has become. I was honestly flattered to be asked to be a part of the vision that Steve and Bob had. But I never expected it to grow into what it is today. While I know we all love our 914s. The way this event has grown shows that this often over looked car is really special to a large number of people.

It is amazing..I have attended both of them and 2014 was quite an increase over 2013. I was curious if you had the numbers for 2013 (cars and attendees)?

Michael - your hard work in getting support from some fantastic vendors has definitely helped grow this event.
If we keep up the growth, we will be well over 100 914s in a couple years! That is both exciting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) and a bit scary (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

In 2013, 28 914s and 47 attendees (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
In two years, we have more than doubled both the number of registered 914s and attendees. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Ok so the loot is rolling in and our sponsors are making it known they are serious about supporting the 914. Adam at 356 Devotion has sent some great items for those looking to upgrade their interiors. Fuse panel, interior door handles, window cranks anyone! Check out 356 Devotion to see all of their 914 parts.

What would you get from the Type IV Store with this? That would pretty much cover a new crankshaft!
