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 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.

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.

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
