Hi, having previously been a VDubber and now a brand newbie to DDK and the Porsche scene with my recent purchse of Matt Swann's '67 912 http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=16135 I am hoping to make this event along with a couple of friends in their VWs. Not sure if I'll be there for the entire weekend but would love to show the car if poss.

I'll keep an eye out for any arrangements you guys make as it'd be great to meet up with some poeple and share some 912 knowledge!

I was going in my bay, but you may have talked me into taking the 912, IF and its a BIG if, I can fix the leaking oil cooler in time. We will camp with the best Vdub club though, AIRDICTION. but I will line up if you will have me, and meet for drinkies and gossip!

does anyone know for certain if the price on the gate for the weekend is the same as for advance tickets?

Also what time are people arriving on the friday night?

I will hopefully get there for about 6.30 7 ish friday night.

I'll be there at about 4-5ish - the gate price is a bit more but not major

Does anyone know if you have to wear a crash helmet if driving a 914 down the strip at santapod?

Not sure how the car is classed ? its not a tin top but its not a convertible?

depends how i feel over the weekend but may give her a blast down the stip and really see how slow she is against the beetles these days.

Forecast is looking pretty good so see you there! Should be a whole lotta fun!

I think you need a helmet if your car runs sub 15's but apart from that you should be OK.

porker914 · Post by **porker914** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 7:28 pm

well no chance of sub 15's so i should be ok then.
