Come celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Introduction of the Porsche 914 September 12-15, 2019 in Banner Elk, NC.

REGISTRATION CLOSED

What better way to celebrate than with over 100 fellow 914 enthusiasts for a weekend of driving, showing and socializing! So finish up that project, dust off the garage queen, trailer that race car or hop in your daily driver and head to the mountains of Western North Carolina for a weekend you will not soon forget.

The fun begins Thursday afternoon with event check-in. Watch and be amazed as fellow teeners arrive and the parking area fills up with a kaleidoscope of colors.

Friday begins early with the “main event” - a drive on the area's fantastic mountain roads. With planned rest and lunch stops along the way, the daylong drive is a 914 lover's utopia.

After the drive, attendees have Friday evening free to do as they wish. Many will gather to eat dinner and then later hang out and socialize. Informal swap meets generally pop up about this time so bring parts or cash.

Saturday begins with a People's Choice Car Show followed by a “free” afternoon. During the afternoon, the event promoters will be busy preparing for the evening's Awards Banquet where upwards of $10k worth of “goodies” are given out thanks to our generous sponsors.

Sunday begins with the sound of 914s rambling out of the parking lot as the event ends and attendees head home.

Throughout the weekend there will be scheduled “clinics” demonstrating how to perform a variety of maintenance and upgrade projects. Also, a 914 Tech Quiz is generally given towards the end of the Car Show.

awesome!! see you all there! Love Banner Elk, great roads.

My wife received the update from the FB page and hasn’t stopped talking about it. We had a great time last year!!

for such an event as the 50th we should be able to round up 200 914s to attend. Many of us will not be around for the 75th. Every east coast 914 guy should make an effort to attend this historic event.

Looking forward to another great event and this time celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 914!

George, which car are you going to bring?

No need to limit it to east coast teeners. We have quite a few folks who travel from west of the Mississippi to attend.

So, what is the challenge this year George?

1.) The "Import Car of the Year" for 75 cars attending
2.) The M471 car for 100 cars attending
3.) The 916 for 150
4.) All three for 200 cars attending

Happy to say my 914 is fully functional this year so I'll be there!!!

Added to the Calendar, now to get a running car

Looking forward to it again this year.

Made it in 2017 in Helen. Had to cancel last year (Thank you hurricane Florence) my wife was very disappointed. We will definitely be going this year. Motor comes out next week for a clean up and seal replacement. Never got our T shirts.

I think Julie and I will be going this year. She needs to work out the details with her job, but think we can make it.

I’m planning to go and trying to get a second car from Phoenix to go with.

You can lead all the west coast guys

I'm going to start planning on it, even if I don't get to bring my car

I just moved a year ago to NC and this is to happen about 20 miles from where I live!!!
AWESOME!!!! GOING!!!

I'll see y'all there!

You've got the Subaru conversion, right?

DANG! This is the same weekend as my daughter's 20th birthday!

Made my Hotel reservations already. Was told I was the first !!!!

Betty and I will be there.

Looks like we may have 2 of us from Western Ohio heading down to Octeenerfest. If your planning to pass this way we could all caravan. We'll be taking 77 South. We'll be
trailering

Any locals able to recommend a hotel there?

The recommended Hotel, the Best Western, in Banner Elk, See other posts for contact information

We just made reservations at the Best Western.


I am having to restrain Betty from trying to start packing for the trip.

I'm booked!!

200 914s is the goal for the 50th
Banner Elk is a great place, and the road course is the best.

Though I think it would be awesome to see 200 914s in one spot, a more realistic goal for this event is 100+ 914s

Priorities

Room booked. Pedal cluster rebuilt. Tomorrow dropping the engine to replace all of the seals, battery tray and support. Can't wait.

Hey Clay, did you finish the lyrics to "Ninefourteenerville" ?

There is a thread on here with them in it.

Get a few drinks in me and I will lead the singing...

who’s the one that brought thr “914Bourbon” from NY?
i am putting in a request m!

Helen had a great place by the river to hang out, is there somewhere like that in Banner Elk? poolside maybe .

The town that we ate lunch at the first day was very nice.

That's correct. EG33 and WRX transaxle.

Room booked this morning

Well, I at least wrestled with the decision for a day or two....

Booked.

200 914s is the goal

room booked. Really looking forward to this.

We're On!

I've just booked my room at the Best Western... Wife Joyce and I will trailer down from Lorain, Ohio... This is our first teener activity and we're really looking forward to the event! Paul and Joyce Burke

I have my hotel reserved! Looking forward to some twisty roads again this year. It’s hard to get more than 2 curves in a row here in Florida.

Room booked. Looking forward to my 2nd Okteenerfest.

Holy Carp! We didn't scare you off after my transmission exploded on the way homel?!?!?!

Banner Elk will not dissapoint!

I'm SO glad you're coming again!

You and Clay were great tour guides last year. I might take a more northern route but if I decide to go thru Texas I’ll plan to hook up with you guys. The exploding trans was not bad as I was in front of you, it might have been a mess behind you when the fluid dumped on your exhaust. Looking forward to seeing you guys again

It looks like our paths will cross in Little Rock AR on the way to Banner Elk? Whoever goes through there last can pick up the pieces of whoever is running in front of them.

I'm in again, reservation made!
