944Fest 2012 ~ June 15th - 17th

Hey guys, stop wrenching on your 944 for a second and listen up. 944Fest is just around the corner and it's time to start making plans to head out to Nelson Ledges for the Festivities.

If you have never been to 944Fest then let me tell you, you're missing out big time! The event starts out on Friday with an all day 944 DE that usually sees a total of 5 x 30min sessions for each driver. That comes out to like what, 130 some odd miles on the track? You are going to be experienced enough to move right into F1 racing after this weekend.

Besides the great track time there is this huge bon fire on Friday and Saturday night that everyone sits around talking 944 smack. You have the synthetic vs dino, no belt covers "biatch" and "my dyno numbers are" conversations. Pick a side and duke it out but it all eventually regresses to who is willing to jump over the bon fire to prove their point.

In the midst of all of this we send up these flying incendiary devices called Chinese lanterns. Legend has it, if you send one of these flying at 944Fest that your timing belt is safe from catastrophic failure for the following year. I send up at least two at every 944Fest.

We have trophies for the best this and the worst that. Door prize drawings on Saturday afternoon where I don't think there ever was a year where everyone didn't get something (thanks sponsors). Word on the street is there will be some sort of pig roast Saturday? Well, who knows. Whatever happens it will be fun with a bunch of 944 guys (and gals) hanging out at Nelson's for one more 944Fest.

944Fest is only a week away. It looks like we will have a great crowd coming out this year. The track roster already has 125 cars for the weekend, many of which are driving all 3 days.

Hope to see you there.

I think I'm going to miss a really good time. Wish I had planned my summer better
