Hmm... "Distance between Helsinki, Finland and Lexington, Ohio, United States, as the crow flies: 4373 miles (7038 km) (3800 nautical miles)" (http://www.indo.com/distance/) ... no, I'm not seriously thinking about it, but in a way it would be a cool trip to do...

1000 some odd miles is nothin! you guys can do it. if i can drive my air cooled 4 banger (which you guys view as inferior) 6000 miles round trip to cali and back, then you guys can make it to 944 fest.
youre not going to get shown up by a 912 now are you? (yup.. driving cross country again this year too.. 3 years in a row!).
I'll be at 944 fest, and the nine dozen will get on the dyno! gotta test out my new engine, and it should be broken in by then

I'm really excited about the dyno event. Can you imagine 100 waterboys standing around a rig while a pumped up 944 puts down 400, 500, maybe even more HP? The crowd will be drinking beer, doing shots and chanting "turn up the BOOST! turn up the BOOST!!" It could be quite SPECTACULAR!
I'm guessing no more than 14 or 16 cars will get a shot at it, the dyno guy guesses 1/2 hr per car, so if it runs 8 hours, do the math. I haven't decided how I'm going to decide who gets on, obviously I'd like to get the big beasts (no offense, Harry) up there if able. I'm imagining 3 classes, n/a, force fed, and special fuels/unlimited. If a 928 wants to play, what do I do? how about nitrous? So many choices. I suppose that is the good thing about a dictatorship, I'll just do what ever I want.
For those flying in, CLE and CMH are equidistant, check your rates and rides. Camping is free and we'll have hot and cold running water 24hrs. I'll make my nearby motel room available for showers Sun AM if anyone wants it.
Since I've got such a huge venue, I plan to do some agressive advertising for this. I'll be looking at advert rates for Pano, and I think the local PCA's will throw me a blurb in the newsletter. With this new site, I think we could accomidate 250+ cars, so I've got a lot of room to grow in future years. What car magazine has a writer on staff with a 951? maybe I should call him. I plan to have it mentioned in Autoweek's event listing. Spread the word, folks!!!
