When: Friday evening 18 Sep through Sun Noon-ish 20 Sep

Where: Ideola's Garage in Woodstock IL

What: This will be a bring-your-own-refreshments kind of gathering. Nothing specific planned other than talking Porsches, hanging out, drinking a few frosty beverages, maybe ordering in some food, and possibly a bonfire. Polaris will be available for excursions through the back acreage, and the pond is available for bass, catfish, and carp fishing. We have surround sound theater set up in the barn too, if anyone is interested in watching LeMans or bringing your own track footage.

Why: Hoping to meet as many local enthusiasts as possible. Besides that, boost, beer, and bench-racing. (Not necessarily in that order).

Accommodations: If you're so inclined, bring a tent to pitch somewhere on our 11 acres. Otherwise, there are several inexpensive hotels and a few B&Bs just up the road off the charming Woodstock square.

RSVP: Please send me a PM for address and directions, and your preferred mode of accommodations, and I can give you some local recommendations.

anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?

seriously though, very cool! I wish we had a cool 924-944-968 community here.

^^^That's pretty much the Polaris track! A bit tight for a car though!

But if I could re-acquire the 50 acres across the road that was historically part of the property......!

Beautiful place...do you really still have all those cars in your signature ?

Great idea for a track !

ideola

Thanks, and YES, I do really still have all of those cars in my collection! The DProd, Club Sport, and Ultra Wide Body are still at my shop in Plymouth MI, but I am planning to get the Club Sport back to IL before the get together. The Wide Body is probably going to a guy in Michigan City to help me with body work, and the DProd will be back before the snow flies, but not likely before the 18th. So right now, I have 7 of the 10 924 variants here, plus the Cayman. And a 924S parts car

Nice setup you got there. We will just be getting back from Vegas so I'm not for sure but will try and make it with either 944 or 928.

If that pond was bigger I'd offer to bring two of my jet ski's to play around with
