Well you didn't have to watch long! This month the Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion moves to the home of Paul Sayegh (PRS914-6), Excellence writer and owner of the Black 3.6 conversion featured over 13 issues of Excellence Magazine. You can get a preview of the daughter project which will be the subject of Paul's next series of articles too... The nice thing about that is that the actual project is so far ahead of the articles that you get a real feel for direction... I enjoyed this with the 3.6 project. Also, and not just incidently, we will be discussing WCR 2010 Tahoe... The planning committee is expected to be there but you could be there too and have input!
The BBQ will start at 11:00am and run until 2:00 or so...
To attend, PM Paul with your head count and he will give you the address and directions.... If your plans change, please keep Paul informed so he doesn't end up with 60# of left over hamburger...

Hey Paul, I'm in for the Bar-B-Que on that date. Is they anything I can bring? John 
Posted by: PRS914-6 Jun 3 2009, 07:23 PM
OK guys the BBQ is open to anyone wishing to come. I'll provide all the food, just bring what you like to drink (beer, soda etc).
The plan:
Shop time....I'll probably put my car on the lift. Machine something in the lathe or mill if you would like.
WCR 2010 Tahoe planning. Your input appreciated and encouraged.
BBQ pork loin, burgers and hot dogs
Relax and have fun
Celebrate the Excellence project car completion.
Again, open to all of you but I'll need a head count a few days before the 28th for food purchase. I'll PM you a few days before the 28th with directions. I live about 30 miles east of Sacramento.

almost any Porsche enthusiast is welcome. Even S2 peeps. So, no it isn't an attention getter. My first P car was an S2 in fact.

My first p-car was an early '85 944 - yellow gauges, etc. No problem with the image, just struck me as I was marveling at the depth of your collection of teener photos from this and previous threads.
I can even say I've now driven a Cayenne on the track, after our June 5th DE at Thunderhill. A dubious distinction, I know...

Thanks for all the RSVP's for Sundays BBQ. Anyone else wanting to come, please RSVP by Friday afternoon so we can get a food count. Bring what you like to drink. Starts at 11:00 and we'll probably eat sometime around 12:30
Looks like a pretty good turnout. It's going to be warm so dress cool. I have a swamp cooler in the shop and it's always comfortable though.
We are getting enough people that I am worried about chairs. If a few can bring chairs that will help.
See you guys on Sunday.....

How far are you from Cameron Park airport? Thinking I might bring a different aircooled flat 4.....
Posted by: PRS914-6 Jun 26 2009, 06:40 PM
about 8 minutes driving
Posted by: fiid Jun 26 2009, 06:50 PM
Humm... I'll aim to be there. I'll bring some food and drink as well to cover my ambiguity... . It's looking like we might be Me, Jeff Keyzer, and Ben (who is 4).
Would anyone be up for a couple of quick airport rides?
Posted by: biosurfer1 Jun 26 2009, 06:58 PM
You mean "ride" as in to/from airport or a ride in your flying air cooled?
Either way I'd be happy to:)
Posted by: jkeyzer Jun 26 2009, 07:29 PM
Looks like my wife Kylie is joining us too, so it'll be 4 of us at the Cameron Park airport. Is anyone bringing a "real car" (lol) that can carry 4 passengers that wouldn't mind being a taxi??

Hey Paul, there will just me coming, Can I get directions to your place? Will be coming from Antioch. John

Hey Jeff, I'm coming in my full size super duty truck, I canfit the four of you If I can get direstions. John
Posted by: PRS914-6 Jun 26 2009, 08:17 PM
BBQ update.....Wife is heading to the store for chow, looks like about 20 have RSVP'd. Since it's supposed to be HOT we are going to start serving food at 12:00 before the heat kicks in. We are short about 6 chairs so if a few bring some we'll be covered.
My street is private and as you come down you will see a stop sign saying "no entrance or turn around" pass by that and you will be at my white fence where you turn left onto my property.
Jeff, I'm sure we can get someone to pick you up at Cameron Park. It's not far from here and I PM'd you my phone #
John, directions were PM'd to you
Posted by: ConeDodger Jun 26 2009, 08:22 PM
We three are more than likely coming in the 4Runner but even still, if I am in the 911 I will have room for 3 and me.
By the way, if you guys are flying in as your post seems to imply, remember you are probably at 600 - 700 feet above sea level with afternoon temps around 103 F. predicted. Keep your fat guys to a minimum...

Thanks for the reminder. The performance numbers are all good for where we'll be on weight (even given the 1400' (!) elevation and 100 degree weather), and Cameron Park has a fairly long 4000 foot strip, so were definately in the clear on that. Might take a while to get up to cruising altitude tho.

Out of curiosity Fiid, where are you taking off from and how long should it take you to get here?

We're taking off from Hayward; just south of Oakland. Flightplan says 46 minutes enroute; although it will probably be a tad longer than that taking into account landing and traffic pattern stuff.

Next Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion Michael will be eating a pair of dogbones!
What a day it turned out to be indeed... Paul and Joanne hosted a great event. It all started out with a bit of an impromptu caravan. I left home at 1030 intending a 1100 arrival. When I got to Hwy 50 I discovered a late 911 Turbo in a beautiful grey. I pulled up alongside him and he gave me a thumbs up and it was on! What I didn't realize was our roadplay was witnessed by JeeperJohn who was driving his big assed Ford Diesel truck! Anyway, we had fun. Bumped triple digits a few times as we headed to the El Dorado Hills area. Once we got within sight of the exit I spied a yellow 914 with perfect 4 lug Fuchs wheels. Who do we have here? Al and Susan Wiedman of course, all the way down from Oroville. I swung in behind them and let the turbo go and just then I noticed right in front of their car is a red 914 with a big no-mohawk wearing head on one side and little tiny head on the other! SirAndy and Amoy! But wait! Just up ahead of them is a late model 914, funny looking thing with a little bunny emblem on one side and a "914" sticker on the other! None other than McMark! We exited and followed each other at a very safe pace to Paul and Joanne's secret hideaway... Just outside his private drive we found another white 914 sitting there. It was Bob Russel from the Bay area! Sorry Bob, I don't recall your screen name, perhaps if you bought one of those nifty 914World badges from the Yopu Store in the Member Vendors area??? All of us pulled in together to find Paul and Joanne hard at work doing the last of their preparations for the day. The bullshit began in earnest as we gathered around Paul's shop table and enjoyed chips and I noticed more than one who had never seen Paul's car in person eyeing that covered beauty... As time trickled on, the thermometer edged up toward 100 and a few more people pulled in. Rand and a friend, all the way from Reno, Michael and Wanda from Carmichael, Yopu and Nicho914 from... well, from my house. JeeperJohn pulled his monster truck in as well. After a while, the temperature now racing toward 106, Paul's phone began ringing and JeeperJohn and I drove the 6 or 8 miles over to the Cameron Park Airport to pick up Kylie, Ben, Fiid, and Kylie's husband... (you guys should really get name tags), ok just kidding Kylie is of course married to Jeff Keyser.
With the gang all in place, it was time to eat and we sure did!
Thanks all for a great Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion + Paul's BBQ! See you next month when Michael will be eating some 914 dogbones for your entertainment!
Pics to follow!

Posted by: fiid Jun 29 2009, 12:01 AM
Huge Thankyous to Paul and Joanne for your fabulous hospitality, and also to JeeperJohn for the rides to/from the airport. We had a total blast!! Thanks again!!
We discovered that at Cameron Park airport, the fuel pumps are out of service, so we figured out that we could make it (and there's lots of airpots with fuel on the way back) and made a fairly slow but efficient cruise back to Hayward and just about returned the plane on-time; and managed it without a Low Fuel indication (phew!).
Thanks again everyone for a wonderful event; and really great to see you all!

Thanks for all who came and braved the heat wave, enjoyed having you here. Even my wife commented "that was a nice group of people"
I suspect by the time Andy and Amoy got home they looked like the Wicked Witch of the East after water was thrown on her.

I took a few pics of our flight to Cameron Park with Fiid and Kylie took some shots of the BBQ. Here are a couple good ones:

Thanks Paul and Joanne, it definitely was one not to be missed. I really got to see much of the work Paul had done on his car. The details were amazing, what do you expect from a machinist? Great work shop and machine shop. My car did fine on the trip home, about 125 miles, but my wife had a heat stroke by the time we got to Marysville. Spent about an hour recovering and then headed for home. She went to bed when we got home and slept like a log. Really enjoyed putting the faces with the names, but still a little confusing. Maybe we should have both names on our badges.

I could ramble on about how nice Paul's car is, but the many magazine articles cover all that. A huge thanks to Paul for firing up the beauty/beast to take me for a ride. Serious muscle, all Porsche, attention to detail and refinement on every level. An absolutely perfect car.
