2018 Lodging

admin

Okteenerfest will be hosted this year by the Helendorf River Inn in Helen, GA.
We have reserved a block of 25 Standard Rooms, 22 Riverfront Balcony Rooms and 8 Patio Rooms for our group for the nights of September 13, 14 and 15, 2018.
You MUST mention you are with either Okteenerfest or the 914 club

Helendorf River Inn
33 Munich Strasse, Helen, GA 30545
Phone: (800) 445-2271

  • Standard Rooms that do not overlook the river and involve stairs will be $114.00 per night plus tax.
  • Riverfront Balcony Rooms with elevator accessibility will be $139.00 per night plus tax.
  • Patio Level Rooms will be $149.00 per night plus tax.
  • The Helendorf requires one night’s lodging as a deposit at the time reservations are made.
  • Cancellation period would be 10 days prior to arrival in order for the deposit to be fully refundable.

The rates are a bit higher than we are used to but Okteenerfest is being held during the town’s annual Oktoberfest celebration and these rates are a substantial discount over their normal rates. The venue and festive atmosphere should more than make up for the extra cost!

NB: The block of rooms AND OUR PREFERRED RATE will be held until August 1. After that, the rooms will be release to the public and the rate will revert back to their rack rate for everyone who books after August 1. So register and book as soon as you are able.

2018 Awards

admin

A variety of awards will be given out such as:

  • Farthest Distance Traveled (driven or trailered, fly in, etc)
  • Iron Butt – for furthest distance driven in a 914
  • Newbie Award (newest to 914 ownership)
  • Jack Stand Award….self explanatory??
  • Other awards the staff dreams up

The Car Show will be Peoples Choice judging. There will be three classes: Stock, Improved and Modified. Again, this is not a concours or show event, it’s a driving event so there is less emphasis on “Q-tipping” your car than some events.

  • Stock will be as noted – stock. Minor modifications can be made (radio, wheels, etc) but basically a stock car.
  • Improved: Must be street legal, all basically Porsche parts
  • Modified: Full race cars and conversions with other non-Porsche power plants (V8, Subie, etc)

Depending on the number of cars in each class, we will award 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, PLUS an overall People’s Choice award.  Classes will be at the discretion of the event Chairs and all decisions are final…but they do take bribes… :)

2018 Friday Drive

The centerpiece of Okteenerfest – the Friday Drive!!  With the mid engine design and superb handling, our cars were made to drive. This is the foundation on which Okteenerfest was built – to go out and enjoy our 914s!

For 2018, we have plenty of fantastic North Georgia mountain roads to travel, plenty of sites to see and, as an added bonus, we will be stopping for lunch at “Air Cooled Heaven”, home of Raby Aircooled Technology and birthplace of the “MassIVe Type 4”.
