It’s that time of the year again! Which hotel/motel wins the honours of our presence this year? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)

Because of a couple of fairly expensive vacations we're taking this year, Linda and I won't be attending Hershey this year. I will miss hanging out with the guys and checking out the numerous stunning cars and vendors. But if I were attending, I would not enter the show and I would probably ask others not to. After years of increasing 914 entries, a show separate category for 914's must be implemented. For the PA PCA to group Boxsters and Caymans into the 914 group is absurd. They don't do it with rear or front engine Porsches, so why do it here? I think the 914 stigma still exists with the PA PCA and to also allow brand new Boxsters and Caymans to enter the show seems as dumb as the people who would vote for these cars.

Totally agree Big Len. If I recall correctly, it was in 2016 that I entered my 74' 2.0. While not concours condition she's super clean, original paint and interior...a true 8.5 out of 10. A brand new Boxster off the lot took home the trophy. Total joke and waste of time/money. Never again
BTW, there were numerous 914's entered - a stand alone class was easily obtainable.

The other thing to mention is that we each got, included in the entry fee, the Concourse Goody Bags which probably had a value of $10 ea. full of some very nice items. |
