I know it is early. But, in working with the PCA on their 914 calendar ad, I talked to them about letting us park all of the 914s in the concours corral (even though if they are not in the concours). They have agreed to let us have our own area in there to park (we just have to give them a list of cars 10 days in advance).
With that in mind, I was thinking about doing a mini-914 show there, with some awards and all, and having the dinner on Saturday night, after the Swap Meet. What do you think? We would still do the drive on Friday. WHO'S COMING? struckn Big Len mepstein stevegm somd914 saigon71 |

I have been holding back from posting all of the info about Mid-Engine Invasion this year, because I was waiting to get info back from CPA-PCA. I have been talking to them for a couple weeks about grouping 914s in their own class, as Big Len suggested. It is a great idea.
But, they won't do it. The reason is that they say they have a small turnout of Boxsters and Caymans, and therefore, can't split them off into a separate class. It will remain a class for mid-engine Porsches. They pointed out that last year there were only 8 cars in the class - 5 914's, 2 Boxster's, and 1 Cayman. A new Boxster GTS was 1st, a '74 914 2nd, and a '73 914 3rd. It looks like we are just going to have to register as many 914s as we have. I will post all of the hotel, Friday rally, Swap Meet registration, People's Choice concourse, and Saturday dinner info tonight. |

But that's probably why you should be organizing this and not me. |

But that's probably why you should be organizing this and not me. The Concurse is not a judged event, it's a peoples choice voting award. If all 914's voted for one 914 only I think we would still not have enough votes for first in this class, but actually getting the 2nd and 3rd awards is a big Win for our cars. One thing that was breifly mentioned in an earlier post, was having us as a group park in the Car Corral area. We actually got away with doing this two or three years ago with out PCA permission and it didn't draw any negative feedback from them. The way it went was a few of us were parked up against the yellow tape that seperated the Car Carrol area from the general parking area. The general area filled up and when I and several others arrived, we just lifted the yellow tape, drove under it into the Carrol area and praked on that other side of the tape. There was alot of empty space over there, a good distance away from the actual Corral Cars that were for sale. We could have parked 20 more cars there and probibly not been noticed. The key to doing it is to have the guys that caravan in early Saturday morning park, at that yellow tape. And as others arrive ignore the direction of the guys pointing to where we are to park and instead find the 914's. I actually asked them where we were and they told me where they saw us.
