What price range and what type of accomodations you need? Want it just outside of Memphis in Olive branch or in Memphis. Let me know and I will check things out for you.
[/quote]

Any express type hotel for two on the way through town from B'ham is fine. Thanks for the help because I am not familiar with the Memphis area and although I feel sure Memphis is a very nice town I don't want to end up on the wrong side town in a pay by the hour dump.

I was out of town this weekend but will do some checking for you this week and get back to you with a few options.

Called a friend that lives that way...... Mena is pretty much gone restaurantwise except for a barbecue place outside of town. Queen Wilhemena lodge on Talimena drive is OK. By the time we go there there should be more accommodations. WalMart survived.


What do Tornadoes and Arkansas divorce have in common?

A lot of noise and someone is losing their mobile home.

After looking at thread from previous run ole Hot Shoe needs to tell of his off roading experiance last fall up on the Pig Trail on NW Ark.

I looked back in the rearview after a nice downhill switchback to just see a cloud of dust and gravel flying along the outside of the curve and out into a yard. No damage and it really didn't even slow ole Donald down.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Well I believe we were well past the pig trail, even though I did spin out on the trail also, but it was a really fun ride. Long downhill with a sweeper to the right. me, well I was doing a little too much sight seeing and suddenly realized I was into the sweeper too fast. Not really too fast as much as I was in the wrong gear to power out of the curve so I ended up doing this really awesome NASCAR slide through most of the sweeper and already had my spot picked in the yard where I was going to land. Fortunately the 914 Gods were watching out for me and I stopped with only the back half of the car off road. Stuck her back in first and nailed it slinging dirt, grass and gravel everywhere as I let out a big ol YEEEEE HAAAAA and kept on trucking. WAS A NICE RUSH!!!


p.s. I bought new tires the next week!

Hey guys!

We're workin' on some cool stickers for Talimena!

Also workin' on our right handed elbow crunches. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Curt won't be able to attend this year, so we'll need to bring our own firewood. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Shall we have a blind-folded autocross this year?

I'll be having breakfast at Pam's Diner this Saturday morning.

Afterwards I'll be rocking Talimena Drive on this... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)


Attached Image

Doing about 60 miles of the hills - gonna be brutal but awesome!

Later!

Unless that was an inside joke about firewood, I can bring plenty.

It's somewhat of an inside joke.

But, please, bring on the firewood! It will be so much appreciated!

Since I've been away from this forum for a long, long time, here is the long, long version.

I lost my mind and started this event about 5 years ago. At that time, my nearest 914 dude was Curt in Tulsa, a 914 guy that I didn't really know, who offered and came down and helped me drop and rebuild my engine! Just like that! Curt is awesome! His attitude propelled me into the 914 world!

I recalled that in the late 70's Car & Driver magazine identified Talimena as one of the top 10 sports car roads in America. We decided that this needed to be proved behind the wheel of a 914.

If you use the search word SPARKY, you'll learn all about my blood and sweat, and all about the most awesome 914 ever - or at least in my mind (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) 1st Place SCCA OK Region in CSP (a hard task with national champs in a honda and a miata), beat every old 911 in AX (porsche club hated me), beat that guy from Tulsa at the MUSR in Muskogee!, and demolished all Talimena pretenders.

At the same time, the 914 MUSR was going on (MUSR: Mid United States Ramble).

A tip of the hat to my friend Charley, a VERY big 914 guy, who Clay knows way better than I (that's another story), the term "Ramble" was humbly adopted with approval from a west coast contingency (?), that had done some similar events in the past (before the internet... anyone still awake?), permission was actually sought and honored.

Anyway, from the Rambles, I met and came to know Clay & Betty, which as far as I know are still successfully evading Federal Agents and between the two of them, are pretty much the voice & mind and heart & soul of 914TEXAS!!!!!!!!

Betty, if you don't know already, is... quick... in the twisties...

I'm just sayin.... been awhile...

About two years ago, or three?... Curt, who is a professional cabinet maker, built some wooden 914 bumpers (cheaper and lighter than fiberglass - remember when Porsche was racing 914's they had balsa wood struts in their hoods?).

Anyway, every year after that, when we're cold, miserable, huddled like refugees around a dying fire in Miss Kitty's parking lot, staring at our beautiful lightweight steel, fiber glass, aluminum, carbon fiber creations, the subject of Curt's Wooden Bumpers seem to come to the forefront.

Anybody got a 13mm socket?

and some matches?

I'm friggin' cold!

Lookin' to see'in ya'll real soon ya' hear?

Yet another example of the selfless sacrifices the members of the 914 community can make. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (And why I didn't buy that Triumph Spitfire instead of the 914)

I'm looking forward to it. Even have a backup dog-sitter lined up, just in case. (redoing rear shocks / springs tonight, rear trunk hinges soon and the o-ring for the 901 and H4 headlights when they come in.)

Anybody know what their travel plans are yet?
