Here is the 2005 944-spec racing schedule.
Plan early enough and you should be able to get a large group.

Since this thread has been resurrected. . . Shall I renew efforts to organize a west coast get-together / drive / multi-day festival? I've admittedly kind of let the idea slip, but I'll pick it up again in earnest if there's enough interest / commitment to the idea.

When I first started reading this I saw 6 pages and wondered how this got under the radar, then I saw the original date!
Jeff, sounds like a hell of an idea and judging by the original response a lot of others thought so too. Do some more homework and give people something to bite into.

I'd LOVE to go to the "original" 944 fest in Ohio, but looking at it realistically it would take me (and anyone else from the west coast, which DOES have its fair share of 944 owners / enthusiasts) at least 3 days out and back - that's an entire week just GETTING there. For many of us (myself included) off time / vacation time is kind of a premium, so I'd like to know if there would be any interest in a "western-half-of-the-U.S." kind of 944 fest in the summer, possibly even timed to coincide exactly with the original one to better share pics and stories and promote a sense of community, though we be separated by great distances across the entire continent. If so, what things would you all like to see included? Obviously there would be some parts and "fish story" swapping, some wrenching and maybe even a few laps at a track or something (depending on venue).
I'm envisioning maybe a two-day affair so maybe it could be combined with a camping trip or other outdoor type activity (though certainly not necessary). If enough interest is generated I'm sure we could get a group rate through a nearby hotel someplace.
Any interest in such an event? Would people really come out for it? Locations? Events?
