Werks Reunion 2024 in my 912E... with a twist!
 
I had a lot of fun prepping and "documenting" the trip in 2022 so I figured I'd start a new one for 2024.

https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/1113669-werks-reunion-2022-road-trip-my-912e.html

So what's the twist you say? I now live in Yulee, just minutes from Amelia Island. Should be an easy drive over the bridge to Werks Reunion...well.... the twist is my car is in a warehouse outside Summit Point raceway in WV. I haven't seen it in 6 months, haven't driven it over 9 months! I'm really missing driving this car a lot so the plan is to fly up Fri. Feb 23rd, drive it back down 724 miles the following day then do a little prep before Werks '24. I'll probably hit a Harbor Freight on the way for some basic hand tools, I have a points set on its way but otherwise I'm going to hop in and drive it. Stay tuned!

I hope you didn't leave ethanol contaminated gas in it.

I'm an hour east of Summit point in Maryland, swing on by if you're coming by this way.

ryans65 02-18-2024 04:22 AM

I don't recall what I put in it, I usually got non ethanol from a station not far from the marina near my old house. We will see!

Ryan, hope to see you there. I will be taking my Rat Rod and parking her in the coral. Always a good time at Weeks.

ryans65 02-19-2024 04:53 PM

One of my favorite events for sure! Just look for the worst paint in the Corral! haha

Matt at Pelican Parts 02-19-2024 04:57 PM

Sounds like a fun adventure! Hopefully it makes the trip back without issue! Post lots of pictures!

ryans65 02-19-2024 04:59 PM

I'll try and capture the hastily planned road trip and weekend the best I can!

ryans65 02-19-2024 05:05 PM

Also- shameless plug here but if anyone wants to buy a roof rack while they're in town I have three ready to go. I don't have any space to make any custom ones at the moment but that's in the works. Cash and carry price is $600 each.

Awesome road trip adventure Ryan! Feel free to take a quick pit stop in eastern NC if you have the time. I’m only 2 miles off I95 Exit 150 near Rocky Mount. I’m in the country so no traffic other than maybe a tractor. We can compare our ‘76 models. I’ll probably be in the shop.

ToySnakePMC 02-23-2024 04:34 PM

Tad’s shop is worth the visit!

ryans65 02-23-2024 04:43 PM

I'll take you up on that offer! PM me your cell I'll be through early afternoon.

Perfect. Just sent you a PM. Looking forward to your arrival.

One of Eero Saarinens masterpieces, Dulles.

Huge gross mouse nest in the frunk but after we got it off the dollys and the battery hooked up it started up quick and ran great. Lots of miles tomorrow.

Quick pit stop at my brothers shop in Winchester Va, PDA Racing. He is celebrating 10 years in business this year and I am very proud of him. From regular maintenance to full track builds he does it all. You can find him online at www.pdautowerks.com
