About 10 years ago I drove hundreds of miles and countless hours driving to the Fest in a far away land in Ohio. After the days festivities, we all sat around a campfire drinking various beverages of varying fermented content.

Then the most amazing thing happened. I asked the question "How many of you here own a Porsche?" Almost everyone there said "I do!" What an amazing coincidence! I mean, what are the odds of that happening amongst a group of strangers at night in a tiny town in Ohio? That's never happened to me since. I even tried it at the Burger King tonight at dinner, and not one person said yes. I was the only one.

Many magical things can happen at the Fest.

About a two-hour drive from here. Unfortunately I am scheduled to work Friday. I might be able to get the day off. Going to know more tomorrow. I would only be able to stay until about 8 or 9 as I would have to work Saturday morning. Sounds like a great time for my 1988 924s

How Far is the Drive from NL to PITT? I am bringing my track car in a trailer but TECHNICALLY it has plates on it.. Just wondering how Rough of a ride it would be to goto PITT on 800LB springs and no AC, ECT... I can toss a muffler on the car e-z and street tires.... Otherwise its the truck OR bum a Shotgun seat :-)

That had to have been the fastest car at the track! All those decals and stickers. What was this thing pushing? Like 700hp!!?
