No dead weight here.. I am the ride along mechanic. If I am there, the car knows it, and doesn't break........Unlike some Yellow 914-6s that I know.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)


Oh, yeah? Tell us again how much last minute flogging was required to make the trip?

It is prep work, not flogging. And it didn't break DURING the trip.. unlike someone we know..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Due to multiple problems here (like 2 broken 914s and all my available vactaion time spoken for this year) ... there is no Talimena this year. If things go well, it will happen again next year.

Too bad Clay. I was looking forward to being able to go this year if I buy a new 914 I am looking at. Oh well. I hope that your two get fixed soon!

I am moving forward on the car problems here.

Started the freshly rebuilt motor in Betty's 914 just this evening. It was getting close to curfew, so we stopped for the night. I will get it tweaked and on the road tomorrow.


Mine is a different story... spun rod bearing on #5 in the 2.4 six. Replacement core motor goes on the stand for teardown as soon as Betty's car is off the lift. Got to tear it down and get the case shuffle pinned and the oil bypass mod done.


Not a bad weekend so far.

Ever consider a fall Talimena? Maybe extend it to the 'Pig Trail' and up to Eureka Springs? Could be fun...

I like that idea Chad. We could leave talihina in the morning, drive highway 1, then on to the pig trail that afternoon, and Eureka that evening. That would be a full day of awesome driving.

Sept or even Oct are both good times of the year. Not much tourist traffic on the road like in the summer, and much cooler. My car and I both like that.

MUSR in October.
August will be HOT and schools are starting
A Saturday in early Sept might draw the biggest crowd.

Looks like Palooza is Nov 12-14 this year??

Did the drive on New Years and stayed in the Hotel on top of the mountain. Dead ugly drive in the winter with all the trees dead, but nobody on the road. The hotel was empty and great - old fashioned with fireplaces and some snow outside.

The guys that put that on have been after me for a couple of years to get the 914 contingent together.

Yes, that hotel is really neat. We usually grab a B&B but often go up to the Hotel to catch a carriage ride or take pictures. It has great views of the entire valley. I actually like the drive in winter. My wife and I occasionally go to Eureka for our anniversary in February. Of course, one year we got hit with a snowstorm as we were leaving to come home - *that* was a harrowing experience!

For this, tho, a Fall drive seems more appropriate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sounds like a good opportunity. Of course, the drive will take up most of Saturday so that might interfere with the Palooza-tivities. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Just checked, this year's event is Nov 12-14. Looks like Sunday is just the autocross and lunch, so perhaps meet in Eureka on Saturday, partake any desired events, then take the Pig Trail and Talimena on the way home Sunday.

Here's a copy of the 'event schedule' from the 2009 event:
2009 PCA Palooza Schedule Of Events
