Depending if i finish working on my car by the time i get back in early July i will try to make it out this year. I should be sporting a K27/6, 55lb injectors and a MAF setup by then. Dont plan on doing any glory runs, probably just a few pulls at 15 or 16psi.... i do need to get my car back home in one piece .

Sorry for the OT, but what is the average age of a 944Fest'er? I get the impression from some of these posts that this is going to be a college age drunk fest. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I'm just wondering for reasons like:

- Will I be able to keep up?
- Will I get any sleep the night before the DE?
- Will I be called "sir" or "Mr. VT951"?
- Will I end up in jail?

I am 35; should I get a 928 and bring that instead of my 951?

That's the Glory of 944's they attract all ages!!!

The ages range fom 18-50? But i'd say the average age of last year's fest to be somewherre in the 30's?

You can drink at your own pace, go to bed whenever you want, be called whatever you want, and (unless you are Rock) probly won't end up in jail!!

Ok, cool. I won't be the old guy then. Anyone interested in a beer pong tournament at the Fest?

Travis,

Any time is a good time for beer pong. I can bring a few tables if there is interest. Don't want to compete with the hold'em tournament, though, I'm definitely in for that. Maybe after people lose hold'em, beer pong would be a good activity to jump into... just pair up for pick up games.

any watercooled porsche is invited including 928's - but we reserve the right to make them park in the back row and sit at the kids table.

What better way to spend this year's Poker winnings than on a Dyno run?!

You can change that "good possibility" to "sale pending"
