944FEST 2009 SCHEDULE

DRIVER FORMS AND INFORMATION

What is the 944Fest:

Imagine over 100 cars, from custom 944 racers to limited edition factory productions, all gathered together for one weekend of track driving, dyno tuning, tech talks and quality time with fellow 944 enthusiasts. This is what the 944Fest is all about and, if you are a 944 owner, this is THE EVENT that you will not want to miss.

When and where is the 944Fest:

Date: June 5th – 7th
Location: Nelson Ledges Road Course
Address: 10342 State Route 305, Garrettsville, OH 44231

What activities will be available at the 944Fest:

Friday:
We kick off the HPDE event Friday morning with the tech inspection and driver talk. Shortly after, the novice drivers will be paired up with their instructors and the first track sessions of the day will start. The HPDE event will last all day Friday with drivers getting up to 5 x 30min track sessions.
Also, on Friday we will have the Dyno available (registration required). If you are driving on the track with the HPDE event we can schedule you a spot on the Dyno between track sessions. Dyno sessions usually take about 30 min. so it should not interfere with your HPDE time. Lunch on Friday will be provided to all registered 944 attendees.

Saturday:
Saturday morning starts off the car show. Wake up early to wipe down the 944 and get it ready to strut it’s stuff. Our coveted 944 Piston Trophies will be presented for 6 different categories ranging from our Highest Mileage award to the much anticipated “Grand Champion” title.
After the car show, we will have a group cruise through the back road twisties with a meet up for a catered lunch, special guest speaker and a few other surprises.
After lunch we all head back to Nelson ledges for the sponsor prize drawings, award presentations and, after dark, some bar stool racing sitting by the bon fire.

Sunday:
Today we pack up and say goodbye for another year. There are no official events scheduled for today since some participants will have a long drive back home. Most groups heading back to the same area like to setup a stop for breakfast along the way. All of this is usually organized on the fly so make sure to get with the people from your area before leaving.

Where to stay:

You stay right there at the track. Camping is included with your registration and has always been a huge part of the 944Fest. Almost everyone who comes to the event camps at the track. Bathrooms and showers are available on site.
If you still choose not to camp for the weekend, there is a list of area hotels / Bed & Breakfasts that are near the track at www.nelsonledges.com
