I'm a fixture there. I've made it the last 3 years and love to again, But I'm kinda committed to Taj Kreuzers the same weekend in Dayton this year.

I liked the Tweeksfest move to June from July until this year.
It keeps getting bigger and better.

I won't be able to make it, but I'm pretty sure Type_Lt is heading over there. Matt, It's probably 2.5 or 3 hours away from here.

chitown - I think I am going to go. I REALLY need to work on the 951 this weekend though. Will be a toss up. Depends. At any rate, let me know if you want to get together some time.

I'm hoping to be there on Saturday and Sunday. I have already made hotel reservations for Fri. and Sat. nights. The only thing is that I'm in the middle of negotiations for another Porsche ( ) , and it will depend on how they go. I will probably be coming in the S2, with the main reason being this: I tend to want to go way too fast in the Turbo S! In the S2, I tend to be a little closer to the actual posted speed limits. Also, I'm considering going to the 944fest this year, and will want to take the Turbo S to it. I wish everyone a safe and enjoyable drive to Funfest.

Keep that up and we may not like you anymore.
Please tell me it's not a Velvet Red 968. I would be too jealous.

By all means come to the 944 Fest. I'm still smiling from last years event.

It is a 968, but not Velvet Red. If you are still smiling from last year's event, I'll just have to come! It sounds great!
