2017 Awards
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
- Earliest VIN
- Latest VIN
- Newbie Award (newest to 914 ownership)
- Old Timer Award (owned their 914 the longest)
- 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… 
2017 Car Show
The Okteenerfest People’s Choice Car Show features three classes: Stock, Custom, and Modified.
When filling out the registration form, you will be asked to select the Class your 914 fits best. Below are guidelines to help in your selection.
- Stock – as delivered from the factory. No personalization.* Restoration is fine as long as it’s back to the original spec.
- Custom – customizing for personal taste (interior, wheel updates, 5 lug conversion, external change color, remove sail panel vinyl, etc)
- Modified – major changes (engine, fender flares, -6 conversion, full repaint, etc)
* minor customization such as floor mats, window or bumper stickers, etc is allowed.

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!
