Parade in Hershey Options

[Part Pricer]

I had an interesting conversation with the Zone 1 PCA rep the other night. I bring this up because I'm seeing a lot of posts that say, "I'll be at Hershey...". Well, be aware that there is no guarantee that you will get a spot. There are a limited number of spots available for Parade attendees. When they are gone, they are gone. I've provided the registration info below.

Registration Information
We are proud to announce that Hershey will be the first Parade to conduct electronic registration for all interested participants. We are very excited about using PCA’s new online system that has been designed to streamline the process for registering. Opening day for registration will be Tuesday, January 18, 2005. Online registration will be available at 8 a.m. Eastern Time. There is no need to log on exactly at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time as all registrations until midnight eastern time will have an "equivalent postmark" time.

To register on-line you will need a current PCA logon ID and password. Complete information on obtaining a logon ID can be found at http://www.pca.org/NewUser.asp. To be ready to access the Parade registration site when registration opens, please take a few minutes to try out your logon, especially if it is new or you haven't used it for a while. If you have a problem with a new logon IDs contact the National Office at admin@pcanational.org. For help with existing pca.org accounts contact the webmaster at webmaster@pca.org. If you use the online registration, the fee must be paid by VISA, MASTERCARD or AMEX.

For those not comfortable with submitting their registration online, we have a registration form that you can then fill out, print and send in on Tuesday, January 18, 2005, when Registration opens (Click here for an MS Word File - or here for an Acrobat PDF file). If you prefer to pay by check or money order, you must use one of the paper registration options. Include only one registration per envelope and mail along with payment of the appropriate registration fee to: Porsche Parade 2005, 10315 Waverly Woods Drive, Ellicott City, MD 21042.

Selection of Entrants
Registrations will be accepted based on postmarks and date (not the time) the online registration is submitted. Registrations with postmarks prior to January 18, 2005, will NOT be accepted. Registrations must be submitted online or via the U.S. mail. Each mailed envelope must bear a postage stamp and a valid cancellation. Metered mail, hand deliveries and courier service of any type will NOT be accepted. In case of over subscription the formula in the Region Procedures Manual (RPM) to determine entrants will be followed
