I have my kids that weekend. That may make 6 Mar difficult.
Clutch parts arrive today, so that will not be an issue.

I think you should do something like 944s on The Dragon.. That way its more central and I would drive down from PA to go.. 318 curves in 11 miles FTW.

Pete - no problem, hopefully you can make it but if not, I understand! Remember though, this is an annual event

pocket_rocket - you know, after hearing many of the Tail of the Dragon stories, by friends and my own father, I have been just dying to head up there and experience it for myself. I know there have been a few 944 runs there in years past, but I have not seen anything recently. 2010 is going to be a busy year for my 944's, I am going to try and hit up 944fest in August in Ohio, and stuff like that, so I'm not sure if I'll get around to it this year... but it's a great idea for a possible future event.

The roads we will be driving on for the Southeast 944 Bash will be very curvy and fun as well, the absolute best in Central Florida. Not quite on par with the Tail of the Dragon roads, but still a blast to drive. If you would like to head down from PA, I have a friend with an S2 headed down from Washington DC area who would like a buddy to cruise down with..!

Sounds good Mike, get started on some stuff and I'll sit back and watch and uhhhh make sure you're doing it right...!

Sounds like a good color for your wheels. I like the new avatar picture too! Looks a lot like my car from that angle

Hey- I'm very interested in this! I think Orlando is only 100 miles - give or take - from St. Augustine! There's a possibility I could take my 944 if I can hurry and put the clutch back in! Quite frankly... the car may arrive in full primer, no carpet, and half early/half late offset! I hope that doesn't bother anyone! Project is HALF finished (as usual). Or I'll just take the 928...

This sounds fun though... count me in if one of the cars cooperate!

Marc - There will be others heading down from Jacksonville and St. Augustine as well if you are interested in cruising with others! If you could get the project car driving then I'd love to see it! Mike and I are very fond of your interior swap . If not, the 928S would be great as well! Hope you can make it!

Thanks, Elliott. Hopefully I won't run into any snags... I'd hate to take the beater Mercedes! I'd rather stand in the highway and hitchhike a ride from one of the other 'listers!

Elliot, I would be interested in attending an event the weekend of the 6th if you guys don't mind me showing up in a '72 Ranchero. My 951 is in Vegas, but I am planning a trip to Tampa that weekend and would like to hang out with some of the Florida Rennlisters and see some of their machines. At some point I may actually move back to the St Pete area, or somewhere else in Florida. My Ranchero is in St Pete as my transportation when I'm there for several days every other month, so it would be alittle out of place with all the P-cars.

On another note, if the 6th is the weekend you are shooting for, that is the last weekend of Bike Week in Daytona. The Honda 200 motorcycle race at Daytona is the 5th, the bike parade is the morning of the 7th, and the final weekend of Bike Week is always fun wherever you chose to go out. That may provide more entertainment for out-of towners...or it could present more conflicts, as hotels seem to be at a premium in the Daytona and Orlando areas during that week. Just a thought...

Definitely advise on when you are doing this as I'd like to try to make it, even without the right car!

Jeff - yep that's fine by me, just try not to park in the middle of the group would ya?! haha

I'm not sure exactly how many 'non porsche' vehicles will be tagging along, probably a couple, but there will be several more people and vehicles and/or race cars and such, meeting up with us at the final destination spot of our cruise route. They will be set up for us when we arrive in the group. If you wanted to meet up there, that's fine as well. Not discouraging you from doing the cruise, just making it an option! In either case I'd be glad to meet you and maybe even catch a glance at that ranchero

About Bike Week - thanks for pointing that out, I completely forgot that it was that time of year again! I don't think there will be too much conflict. If anything the people headed down southbound on I-95 from Jacksonville and other areas might run into some biker traffic, but I don't think it will be much of an issue. I will definitely let them know though, so that they plan to head out at the right time.
