2015 Porsche Parade Options

[GeorgeRud]

Just a reminder that the 2015 Porsche Parade is starting on June 19th in French Lick, IN. Both resorts are completely filled up with Porsche Club members, so the parking lots will be great to wander around besides seeing the actual Concours on June 22nd.

Should be a nice turnout with a Historic Car display, and I've heard Dennis Gage (of My Classic Car) will be in attendance as well.

Congrats to Lynne Kozlak for Ladies FTD (2nd overall) and Paul Kozlak for 3rd overall in their 914-6 3.2L street car which we started prepping for them this spring.
Neither of them had much seat time in any 914 leading up to the event.

Only a few days before they embarked on the trip we were working on the suspension.
It came in with shifter problems - a lost cone screw which had fallen out of the POS Patrick (WEVO915) shift linkage at the Devens Tour event, but what we discovered was much more important to being competitive.
One of the JRZ rear shocks had lost a lot of fluid and desperately needed a rebuild. It would only collapse halfway before bottoming on the internal gas canister.

A huge shout out goes to Thorshammer (Erik Madsen) for his assistance on very short notice - completing the rebuild on an outdated JRZ and hand delivering it the same day we needed to finish our work!

Once on my alignment platform I found the chassis had a load of crossweight from the previous owner doing a very poor alignment/corner balance.
Considering how much is still not sorted on the car the results are impressive and mostly due to their driving talent.
The car needs more suspension work and some chassis stiffening. Once optimized it will be a serious contender for FTD at any PCA event.
