UPDATE:
If you're wondering what happened to the LA Region's PCA Zone 8 Concours normally held in July, for 2017 it has been moved to Sunday Sept. 10 2017, & it's again at the Santa Monica Museum of Flying.
Here is their Reg page link:
https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/pca-la-2017-concours-d-elegance-museum-of-flying-los-angeles-932761
Remember that there is now a 914/914-6 Class in Wash & Shine Division since last year, & in all other Divisions except Ubergang (for new Porsches without easy/much engine access, so engine not judged in UG).
Also remember that you can enter an engine swapped Porsche - including 914s - in the Special Categories Division SC-1 - & if you track/AX your 914 or other Porsche, then you can do SC-2.
Come on out & see some nice Porsches & Planes, great lunch, etc.
AFAIK, you can get a free informal display by just parking in the parking lot out front, but formal Display areas are inside the museum building & in the back display area.

Coming up next weekend!
That's the same day as the G & R ?
Sorry, but I'll be at the G&R. By the way, the Santa Monica airport won't be there much longer. They might need another venue for this event. Might I recommend Riverside?
I took a ride over to Santa Monica airport in a friends 912 and checked out the PCA gathering. Perfect day for cars+ interesting aircraft .
I met Andy and discussed his yellow 6 gt, a beautiful car
Anyone that took pics please post em up.
Marty
Sorry I missed you Marty! I was off judging on the other cars on the far side when you guys were chatting.
Well someone took home top honors here with a score just 0.2 off the perfect 325, & is well on his way to securing some 2015 overall Zone 8 honors as well!
.... but I think he's talking with the "Ice Princess" photo gal here, & not looking at his hardware, like Kent is doing! Must be tough to be chased by the paparazzi!!
I'm sure he'll add some nicer pix than my crappy cell phone pic when he gets a chance.
See what you miss when you reschedule the GR&B on top of the long standing LA Region's Concoiurs!
Cheers!

The Museum of Flying also has some interesting aircraft etc. to over,
.... including this Mid-Engine Car of another sort!
... hmmmmm .... radial aero-engined 914 ....
Kinda like Bill Cosby's 1960's bit about the Cessna powered Rambler!
... or whatever car that was?
For some reason it doesn't want to take the pic of the description card in my post above, here's a try again....
There! ... it worked that time!
Feel free to add your own pix from the event here too!

Great show, beautiful cars, excellent food. Congratulations Andy!

On the food - & not to knock the GR&B cookout food - but LAR had a great caterer there this year & last with BBQ chicken, ribs & tri-tip, beans, slaw, mac & potato salads, bread, sodas, etc.
So you might consider putting it on your calendar for next July, & maybe the GR&B can get scheduled back to spring & fall on a non-conflicting weekend.
Bruce - you can PM or email me when you're scheduling them next time & I'll email you the link for the Zone 8 events, to keep the 914 swap off of the AX, DE/TT/Track, Concours & other events in SoCal.
PS - what you can't see is that Andy in the pic above has the bowl full of his seconds or thirds of the BBQ food to take home!
Cheers!

More pics. Sorry, they're a bit blurry.

It couldn't have been closer in the points with the others in the class. I've been chasing some owners all season with years of showing thinking if I was close then I'm cool with that but she won one
Attached thumbnail(s)
So close it was actually a tie that was broken according to Zone 8 rules for such!
I think they also want to see some of the nice pix of your car & the others Andy!
So ..... San Diego 8/22 next!?

HELP!!!!!!
OK folks .... dig our your smart phones & cameras!
The PCA Zone 8 Concours Co-Chair is asking for some more photos from this 2015 LA Region Concours at the Museum of Flight in Santa Monica, for the year end Zone 8 coverage of the Concours season.
Our own SoCal Andy is well covered in the pages above, but they'd like some more shots of the other cool P-cars there! Yes .... even the tail-draggers, & the GT too!
So if you went to the event & took some pix, please post dig ou your SD card, phone, iPad or whatever & your pix here & she can download them.
TIA & Happy Holidays!

Thanks Tom, guess I should pay more attention to the date. I was lucky enough to ride shotgun on the Saturday run at San Simeon in 2015, was very impressed by Andy and his gorgeous 914 6 .
