Hello everyone,

Just moved to Salinas and couldn't help but notice on my morning drive to work that I passby Laguna-Seca. Now, I've never been to Laguna-Seca or the Monterey Historics and I am as giddy as a schoolgirl to go to the races.

I'm just wondering if there is going to be a battalion of 914's storming the place and on what day that will be. I can only make it on one day and I would love to walk through the car corrals and see some sweet 914's.

As you may know I'm one of those lurkers who wishes he had a 914 (help me convince my Wife I need one and not a reliable Suzuki Aerio), but has never made the plunge. I know there's a ton of Porsche-philes here in the Monterey area so I hope to see a bunch of you there. And if you want to sell your 914 bring it because I'll be looking.

I always try to go on the Friday - its much quieter and you can walk around freely with no crowds. Also, all the cars run Friday (in practice), but on Saturday and Sunday only half of the cars run on any day.

There isn't usually an organized 914 presence, but you might see a few. Its well worth the time to go though.

There's supposed to be a big 914 whoop-dee-do later in the year...( forgot date)
I'm sure the thread will surface again as it get's closer.

Side trip: Marina airport in Marina is the premier a/x site in Nor Cal with a great 914 showing and competition.

Come see us on the 24th. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif)

Alohas,

Yeah I've heard that the Marina airport is a big-time autoX place. I'll try to make it out there one of these days.

Too bad there aren't a ton of 914's at the Historics. There's got to be a huge Porsche showing nonetheless, right?

Anyone got any pointers on where to look for 914's for sale besides the classifieds on here and at craigslist.com ?

Thanks,
Joel

Try PelicanParts, eBay in CA, specialty dealers, CAMP914.com, newspapers (but I've rarely seen them listed in print)

One member frequents the Italiano Concourso on Friday.

There is a big 914 event in October: Vintage Races

Aloha Joel!
Welcome to the Mainland!
In 2004 we had the first West Coast Classic 914 get together; that was the palce to see 914's in the Monterey area! Below is a pic at Laguna Seca's Turn 4.
Another place to likely see some 914's in your area duirng the Historics Weekend would be the Concours Italiano at the Black Horse Golf Course at (what used to be) Fort Ord on Friday 8/19. There will be a large car corral for many foreign makes and I'm sure you'll see some Teeners there! I'll be there with my 911. Check out: www.concorso.com

I'll be going to the Concorso Italiano this year. It's a great event, lots-o-Porsches in the corral too.

This is my car in the Porsche corral.

That is a Turbo S beside me. Cool. Lot's of GT3s, 911s, 356s etc. all around.

Monterey Historics is EPIC!!! dont miss it. it is the finest of the finest of their species. You get to cruise the paddocks. the entire Monterey peninsula is ablaze with magnificent cars from turn of the century to present. Pebble beach concouse d'elegance is like a living museum of the finest cars you will EVER see. these cars gather from around the world. words can not describe it. you must see to believe (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drooley.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drooley.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drooley.gif)

People relaxing and shooting the shit about their car.

Lot's of people just hang out beside their car and drink. Like a fancy tail gate party.

That's what we're doing this year...

That Cobra is nice. My old ACCD instructor Richard Hutting was part of the design team which was on an episode of "Rides". Dam guy would crumple up the artwork after his beautiful sketch demo!
