I see Andy is already registered for full concours. Anyone else going?
http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/eve...3D#.VWerJflVhBc Although it's not really a concours car (I drive it a lot now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ), I was thinking about entering my green 914-6 in the concours. It would push me to finish up the last few small things... -Steve |

Okay - so I emailed with the Concours Chair & they will try to set up an area as a "914 Corral" & he liked the idea & so may do ones for other models too.
Try to pre-register by Wed. for the event's online entry cut-off time - but display only continues to Sat IIRC & then at the gate on-site. Those playing it by ear & planning to register at the gate if you can to come - please post here so I can give them an estimate by Fri pm or Sat am. So far based upon the list of entries & display only - I'm guessing 2-3 entered in the concours + 5-10 display only & there are currently 6 (1 + 5 on the list at the link on Steve's/Siverson's post #1. I think we had about that many come to the Jan. Zone 8 Concours with the 918 Weissach in display - but most were just visiting & with Andy T & Dave W entered & side-by-side. Hey - if you don't want to "pay to display" - just come out anyway & visit with folks & see 200+/- cool Porsches .... usually including a Porsche Tractor with trailer giving kids rides for free! (courtesy of Mr. Buck of Cape Auto). You just park on the street or little parking lot, or if those are all full park at the state park parking lot across the way at the bottom of the hill ($10 day use fee IIRC) & walk up the hill - usually plenty of spaces there. Bunches of places to eat around Dana Point, & their mayor is a Porsche owner & PCA member, so she usually comes out to support the event too. Elliot - yes, South OC prices, but I did make the pitch with the event's chair to go to $10 display only fee with optional lunch, like San Diego & some of the others do. I'll be judging in group TBD, but I'll wear something 914-ish so folks can find me. If anyone needs input, tips or whatever as a judged entry, feel free to PM or better yet email me & I'll help where/how I can. And before some of the yea-hoos on here start posting sad pix of my 914 in its wrecked & unrestored state - NO it's not done yet & won't be there!

I'm sure the 914 "corral" will be the most fun because of the inspection for non-original and possibly improved parts. The judging will certainly be more entertaining than what happens over with the q-tip crowd. This was us displaying two years ago. |

The judging will certainly be more entertaining than what happens over with the q-tip crowd. This was us displaying two years ago. I remember your 914 from then & liked your polished Rivs! - since I always try to do a quick walk around to see what 914's turn up, before I have to start judging. Last year there were very nice 2 Bumble Bee LEs side by side on display - I think it was the same owner but not sure if a member here. BTW - no Q-tips in the Concours judging - just fingers into nooks & crannies! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .... it's all based on presentation, preparation, details & maintenance - one could say a "cleaning contest"! Also - in case anyone is being scared off of Concours because of originality - there is no originality judged at the PCA Regions' & Zone 8 Concours - that only comes into plat at the Parade, & only when needed to break ties or drop too highly modified cars AFAIK (it used to be in the 1970s when there were few models to know originality about). Of course, folks can just enter & not care if they place, just for the fun of watching judges come out with grease & grime all over our hands! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) See ya there!
