I am planning to go to The Werks Reunion Amelia Island March 9, 2018.
I see that registration opens Dec. 15, 2017. The PCA web site states one can register at the event 7:00 am. Any tips learned from last year. Thanks, Bruce |

Yes, I have been to the Concours show many times.
I did not go to the PCA Werks Reunion last year (first year in Fla.) which is on Friday before the Concours show. I think I read they had 800 Porsches for the one day reunion. Just wondering how the heck they coordinated that many cars in to a field for one day. Just was looking for some advice from anyone who went last year.( Also on resignation.) Thanks, Bruce |

I was there last year in one of my Boxsters (they were celebrating Boxsters last year).
Get a hotel early. Stay on the Georgia side....much cheaper and a pretty short drive Get there early. Traffic was worst after 8-8:30 Bring food and water. They claim they will have vendors . Last year there wasn't much available (especially in the morning). The organizers probably learned their lesson and will do better this year. Bring a chair, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen Plan to walk...a lot. There is some GREAT stuff to see. |

Nice east coast alternative (or addition) to going to Rennfest in the fall at Laguna Seca. Between these two events and the PCA Parade in Missouri (at the Tan-ter-a Resort in Lake of the Ozarks), there should be no excuse for anyone to not get their Porsche fix.

Thanks Guy's,
I've already booked a hotel in Ga. Most of the hotels I checked only had a few rooms left. The featured Porsche this year is the 356 Outlaw, so I'm going to drive my 62 Karmann hardtop (Notchback) . It has a type 4 (914) 180 hp motor in it. Hope to spend most of my time looking at 914"s, just finishing up on a 914-6 and plain on doing a 914-4, I have on the back burner for a while. Hope to meet many fourteeners there. thanks again, Bruce |
