i hit a huge hole on the infield after a track session. i f'ed up my valence and my under engine pan. and the pan was bent up into my sway bar and stuff so i wanted to take it off before i went back onto the track.

this pissed me off for three reasons.
1. i had just gotten my car painted
2. i guarantee i had the shinyist belly pan around
3. it just proves that im a dumbass

Hockey Duuuuuuuude!!! This Fest was a blast!! I remember getting 540 miles to the tank on my drive up from Charlotte. Coming through the Virginia mountains at full speed @ 5am was so much fun!

I miss all you crazy bastards. We need to do a reunion in the near future.

You mean, like a 944Fest?

There were at least two last year to take the place of the "traditional" one at Nelson Ledges. One was in Georgia and the other was at our farm in Michigan.

We will be happy to host another one this summer if we don't have another option close to the Great Lakes area.

How about it Travis? What's the Fest plan look like for this year?

Fingers crossed that we do. And hoping its not on Father's Day weekend as I have to work EVERY Father's Day weekend.

Travis, Pittsburgh International Race Complex ("Pittrace") is less than 1 hour from Nelsons and will offer an expanded track this summer. http://www.pittrace.com/

This would be a great alternative to Nelsons, if that track is not available. Its in the same region so any of the traditional "Festers" would be able to attend without major changes in logistics. Its also very close to the airport, for anyone flying in.

944Fest (aka Dan P)

Hi Guys! I've been watching the Pittrace website hoping for updates because they are hosting a Chump Car race there in the fall, if the new track is ready our team is certainly going. The only news seems to be an old local newspaper article talking about the planned extension. Do you have any more info about expected opening dates and progress?

I won't speak about the future of the 'Fest except to say I believe Travis has some big plans and I will let him announce them when he's ready!

Hope to see ya'll soon

That's an exciting update! Glad to know there are plans in the works for the fest!!

It's nice to know Travis and Dan are still around and organizing the Fest. Some great memories are made at these events!

I know the ARPCA (Allegheny PCA region) has announced a DE in early June using the short (old) track layout and another in early August using the new long track layout. So, the new extended track should be ready in the summer.

Only 1,500 miles from me... Gonna need to do some serious work on the car if I want to be set for that kind of road trip!

Or I need to figure out a 944Fest West somewhere out on this side of the country. Anyone interested? Any ideas on where?

Todd951968

is there any news about a 2016 944 Fest? Like, when and where it will be?

I hear they should have something posted about it in the next couple of weeks
