Everyone should be making plans for Denver next year

Wifey and I very much want to attend and participate, but I've got a couple hurdles to overcome. The first issue will be "is the car going to be finished?". There's a 75% certainty that it will be. My other problem will be scheduling the time off of work for the Parade as the end-of-the-month is the busiest period for me. That is a 50/50 proposition.

Thanks for the registration date tip. It's past due to finally enter the LE into a show & see how I do. I have a free place to stay w/ friends & it's about a six hour drive so I gotta give it a shot.

Kelly,

What class would I enter? OH that's right...There isn't a class for me. Maybe I'll just go to gawk and gape at all the hideously cool, rare and expensive cars there.

I am going.

Went to Hershey a couple of years ago. I had charging issues with the 914 and many people came over to offer help, tools, and info. There was a pretty good teener turnout at that one, and it was great! Besides the actual Concours, there is usually a general car show (they had a name for it) for those folks not inclined for the Parade lever concours get to be in. At Hershey, that was right on the grounds near the actual trophy cars.

Mostly, it is a chance to really appreciate the truely historical cars.

We need a list of 914World inhabitants planning on going so we can get together to share partial-truths.

Looking forward to seeing everyone. We can call it a warm up for ECC 2008.

I plan on attending in my 911 since my 914 is still holidng down some jackstands. Parades are usually a lot of fun and I have been to several. Looking forward to this one. Hopefully we can get a group together there.

Registration is on-line on Tuesday March 11 and it usually fills up fast.
Hope to see you there.

Do you suppose it will be necessary to hit the registration right after midnight?

More importantly, should we register on the PCA website (username/ password) ahead of time? I used to have a registration with the online PCA folks(to place an ad in Panorama) but I don't remember my password. I better try to get a new registration set up before the 11th.

Don't think email will upstage snail mail.

Planning on being there (with ONE possible negative). Will be entering the resto class for concours (even though my car hasn't been "restored").

My wife and I are planning to attend. I'm also planning to drive the car from central FL to Charlotte, just not certain if my wife will be riding with me...

I think that Steve Gaglione and his wife are also planning to attend...

This will be my first Parade ....

If my health holds up, I'll be there. If for no other reason than to be Pat Garvey's guide dog. <grin>

Posted by: watsonrx13 Mar 11 2008, 07:22 AM

Well, my wife has been trying for the last 20 min, the site is hung up, no movement, locked up.... This so frustrating...

Posted by: 1970 Neun vierzehn Mar 11 2008, 07:33 AM

I'm getting the same non-response here as well.

Posted by: akellym Mar 11 2008, 08:10 AM

I go to the 4th page of the app. before it locked up.

Piss poor planning on their part...

Posted by: 1970 Neun vierzehn Mar 11 2008, 08:26 AM

I finally got to the login w/user name and password, then.....everything stops.

Maybe they know that we're 914 owners.

Posted by: akellym Mar 11 2008, 08:28 AM

they now have a statement up... saying to try back later.

Posted by: watsonrx13 Mar 11 2008, 08:29 AM

Well, we have a confirmation e-mail, we're in....

It took my wife 1hr 20 min to complete, she never gave up....
