[Tom_T]

Woody's post of the 2x 918's in his dealership reminded me to post this as a FYI for anyone who'll be in SoCal in a couple of weekends hence....

We also have a 918 entered in our PCA Zone 8 Concours at the Temecula Creek Inn on Saturday Jan. 17 2015

Come on out & (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) - but we may require a drool bucket within 10 feet! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

- it's free to attend & park, but there are charges to enter the concours & for display only (non-judged) Porsche cars.

There are always a bunch of really nice SoCal Porsches from all eras & types entered at this & the other Zone 8 Region's Concours, & the Zone 8 schedule for all regions & events can be found at the link below.

For those interested in automotive design, come 4/26/15 the SGVR Concours held at Art Center School of Design in Pasadena, also includes an afternoon tour of the Automotive Design & other Studios, led by their Director of the Auto Design Dept. & SGVR member - Stewart Reed. He's both a Porsche & Westy fan BTW!

For only the cost of parking at Auto Club Speedway in Ontario CA (or entry fees for events) - 4/10-11-12/15 combines racing with the 4/11 Concours at the Festival of Speed. There are many other track, AX, CdE & other club events at the calendar below....

I'll be on the judging teams & will try to wear one of my many 914 t-shirts or sweatshirts - or maybe my Cardinal (red) & Gold #9 Rugby jersey, & cardinal/gold USC ballcap - if anyone wants to look me up.

Cheers & Happy New Year All!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Damn it, spaced out working in the garage Sat and forgot all about this event. I'm in the advanced stages of CRS (can't remember (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) ). Tom, thx for posting up some of the future local events. I'll try to make one of these. Now Tom, there ain't no "Pinky Lifting" going on at these High Fa looting events, is there? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) BTW, what does it cost to have an old Dealer license frame re-painted such as David's?

Kent,

As with originality not being an issue at the Zone & Region level concurs, we also have a do not ask, do not tell policy re: pinkies!

Actually most of the folks both drive & show their cars, with very few a strict garage queens. In fact one guy DD his 68 912 & then enters it in Full Concours - which not only judges the engine, but also the underside/wheel wells/etc.!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Andy drove his out & also did Full & still did very well, with only some first-timer things missed. And AFAIK Andy has no pinkie problems either! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

As for plate frames - IIRC Dave found that from somebody making repro frames - or maybe it was Andy's (half-zymers again here) - so I'd suggest PMing them for a source.

But if you have the original dealer frames already, then you can probably do a decent job of repainting them yourself with rattle can for the base background color, & brush-on paint for the letters. I redid my actual plates myself that way on other cars. ;-)

As for another drive-n-display event that I hear is pretty good, I think Riverside Region does a Porsche Timeline event up to Arrowhead or Big Bear in the summer or spring.

There is all sorts of stuff on the Zone 8 calendar from concours, to rallies, to AX, TT, DE, Club Racing, casual tours, breakfasts & doughnuts-n-Porsches, etc. in all of the SoCal PCA Regions (chapters if you will).

For the Rickie Racers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) - AX is both at El Toro in OC & Qualcom Stadium parking lot in SD. Club Racing, DE, TT & some other stuff is at Willow, Buttonwillow, Chuckwalla, & ?? during the year too.

Really something for everybody, & spectating is free!

Cheers!
Tom
