Sept 1st Cone Zone: All 914 models. Tell your friends.



Come and park around 8 - Sit down and eat about 8:30...

Geez, it took them long enough to come back to doing models & the 914 is apparently the first!

The one last Saturday was over 150K miles (initially was 157K+) - so most 914s could qualify for that too!

Unfortunately for this one, I'll be back in OK over Labor Day weekend for our big annual Cherokee Ceremonies.

FYI Andy - I'm still stalled on getting to the garage to move the 914s out of it & over to the shops, until the house & some other work gets done on the house & back area. Trying to get the parking pad for the Avion trailer in to move it out of the way as a part of that work.

Have Fun!
Tom

Sounds good andy!
The Grand Prix region mounthly (circuit -website) does not show a cone zone this year at all .
And we filled the whole lot two years in a row by farthest the best showing of any model p car they have had, including the 356.I guess we're still the bastard of p cars!
Something's never change!

Talk to Dick Douglass at GPX, I'm sure he can get it going again. He may just have it on hiatus, or maybe someone else took over. Check with Dick either way via your GPX member emails/messaging. I'll also let him know about your request.

Your GPX is so close to OCR, if they were coordinated for differing dates, then it could be an annual two-fer!

i’m joining but have to park at the outer parking space since i’m driving 986.

Posted by: Socalandy Aug 6 2018, 04:53 PM

believe it or not our 914's get respect at these events and why they have a 914 line up. Cool group of guys and many have said they had 914's back when

Posted by: abes914 Aug 6 2018, 04:57 PM

I think GPX is doing something different now. Instead of type is models to show case, it will be all red pcars or all targa... something like that.

Posted by: Tom_T Aug 6 2018, 06:12 PM

Yeah, OCR has been doing that over the past year or so since the last time we had the 914s + 928/924/944/968 on a long time back.

IMHO the color of cars, size of wheels, etc. cone zones are just lame & reaching for some oddball theme!

Both OR & GP should just stick with the featured models per month, & rotate through them again - i.e.: repeat!

And Andy is right - you'd be surprised at how many Porsche owners will come up & tell you that they had a 914, wanted one then or now, etc. No longer a NARPy issue.

Thanks for the heads up Andy. I’m definitely in for this one....Paul

Posted by: sb914 Aug 6 2018, 07:53 PM

Here's the schedule! Check out September,four models!
November was last years 914 cone zone and October the previous year!
I guess we could flood Novembers "convertible"!
Either way, see ya in Costa Mesa! Sounds fun thanks for the heads up andy!

Posted by: Tom_T Aug 6 2018, 07:56 PM

Is that for GPX or OCR?

And I don't see 914s listed at all in any month.

That’s for GPX and I can tell you Jim,Larmo and I where there it was SUV cone zone and they put them on the restaurant side maybe 6 last Saturday. They couldn’t fill the middle two rows. Not a Slam I love GPX but no brainer 914’s and 911’s rule the zone!! ....Paul

Posted by: sb914 Aug 6 2018, 09:13 PM

Yep GPX, and that's my point no 914 cone zone!
They must be intimidated by our coolness!

Posted by: Coondog Aug 6 2018, 09:44 PM

Crap missing another event. Will be in San Fran..... and in Vegas for the El Segundo
event

Posted by: Tom_T Aug 7 2018, 09:04 AM

Check with Dick Douglas, & if he's still doing it, then he can either add in 914s somewhere, or let you know when they're doing them into 2019 maybe.

Hey Andy,

You might also want to put this notice in 914club, ClubNARP, etc., so you can catch 914ers over on those sites.

Also look for my email to Rob Greene PCA-OCR (cc'd you & Dick Douglas) so he can coordinate with you.

He was looking for someone who'd asked for the 914 Cone Zone to return - which we've both done - but I'll be in OK 8/30 - 9/4.

Everybody take pix & post here!

Have Fun!
Tom

Eddie I’m down for this one. Also looking at a canyon drive after to lake Mission Viejo and a party boat cruise around the lake........Paul

Posted by: Socalandy Aug 27 2018, 01:30 PM

Arrive around 6:30 am to get into the lineup, come on out for a good breakfast and fun. Maybe to Trabucco canyon run after

Posted by: Socalandy Aug 27 2018, 09:18 PM

If your coming out Saturday please post so I can have a count for adequate parking space please.

Posted by: Steve Aug 27 2018, 09:30 PM

I’ll be there!

Posted by: 914Toy Aug 27 2018, 09:38 PM

I will join you guys.

Posted by: SO.O.C914er Aug 27 2018, 09:55 PM

Absolutely in for this event and Santiago canyon run turn left at cook’s corner ending at Roses cantina! Sound good .....Paul

Posted by: Tom_T Aug 28 2018, 07:59 AM

Someone should check if the roads are open after the Holy fire out there, as there may still be residual stuff, & I'd heard from a friend who lives out there at Rancho Santa Margarita that the canyon route road was closed to locals only after the fire (not sure if still so).

I'll be looking for some pix from this one & the drive to be posted here.

Sorry to have to miss the fun!

Cheers!

Posted by: Socalandy Aug 28 2018, 11:19 AM

Done, was in the canyon last weekend, dust them off and lets have a good showing and cruz

Posted by: abes914 Aug 29 2018, 09:24 PM

I am 95% that I can be there for breakfast. I won’t be able to join the canyon run afterwards.

Hopefully I can polish the 914 before then. Been driving it daily now for a month

Posted by: 914_7T3 Aug 29 2018, 10:18 PM

Will be going in the 986, gonna test out my new cam tensioner & solenoid.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Posted by: Larmo63 Aug 29 2018, 11:23 PM

Okay, I won't go.

Posted by: banananose914 Aug 30 2018, 12:04 AM

On it!

Posted by: LS1V8Jerry Aug 30 2018, 08:56 AM

Cruising in with Oscar for this. See you all bright and early.
Don't mind my rumble.

Jerry

Posted by: drem914 Aug 30 2018, 09:19 AM

Subtle.

See you guys there, but won't have my 914, still getting painted.

Posted by: 914pwr Aug 30 2018, 11:29 PM

I plan to be there. Thanks!

Tim

Posted by: euro911 Aug 30 2018, 11:37 PM

I don't have a running 914 at the moment, but I think I know where I might be able to snag a cone ...

Posted by: 914-300Hemi Aug 31 2018, 06:11 PM

I will be there.

Posted by: 914_7T3 Aug 31 2018, 07:20 PM

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=21290 I met a 914 owner earlier today with several LS Conversion Cars and told him about your car. He said he will head out to Santa Ana tomorrow to check it out. He was not a World Member this morning, but probably is by now!

Posted by: 914_7T3 Aug 31 2018, 07:22 PM

Nice Ravi, it’s been a while!

Posted by: Steve Aug 31 2018, 07:34 PM

Bring the Ghia, it’s the same factory!!

Posted by: SO.O.C914er Aug 31 2018, 08:23 PM

No Steve tomorrow is all about droppin in as many 914’s as possible no Ghia please ....Plus Larmo isn’t going to want to hit the canyon without his 914....Paul

Posted by: Steve Aug 31 2018, 09:39 PM

I know... I was just kidding... See you tomorrow!!

Posted by: euro911 Aug 31 2018, 09:51 PM

Well, looks like me and my cone won't be there then

Posted by: SO.O.C914er Aug 31 2018, 10:50 PM

I should have known Steve! Your always so on target. Okay guys if you haven’t been deep into the canyon to Roses Cantina you need to see the patio area out back sitting under the oak trees by the creek. First round of beer and ice tea on me. Spicy nachos on Steve or Oscar ....you will forget your in Orange County....Paul

Posted by: Steve Sep 1 2018, 05:18 PM

Congrats Paul!!! We have another year to hopefully get our cars as nice as yours so we might win next time!!

Posted by: SO.O.C914er Sep 1 2018, 07:03 PM

Funny Steve! Hey I think they have another year to get that much needed eye exam I may never understand what happened today.

Posted by: ValcoOscar Sep 1 2018, 07:29 PM

Your day Paul...enjoy

Posted by: euro911 Sep 1 2018, 07:29 PM

WAIT A MINUTE !!! ... I saw a Karman Ghia there !!!

Posted by: sb914 Sep 1 2018, 07:38 PM

The Grand Prix chapter 914 "cone zone" will be Sat ,November 3rd after all.
They forgot to ad it on they're "circuit" magazine.

Posted by: Larmo63 Sep 1 2018, 07:50 PM

Hey Paul, when they announced the award, they characterized your car as "unique."

Posted by: SO.O.C914er Sep 1 2018, 11:24 PM

Unique now that makes more sense Larmo. Still wrong but I’ll take it and proudly hang it in the garage haha ....Paul

Posted by: 914-300Hemi Sep 2 2018, 12:46 AM

It was great to see everyone today.

Posted by: Tom_T Sep 5 2018, 09:26 PM

Great to see such a good turnout!

I don't think that they've had that good of numbers for a 7 year run of any other Porsche on their Cone Zones, except perhaps new ones!

Speaking of cones & zones - did Banananose make it with either of his 6's - or am I missing it!?

Sorry to have missed it, but I had other committments that weekend.

Cheers!
Tom
