914 50th Anniversary at 2020 Werks Reunion, 914s Wanted for CFOS 356 Timeline 3/30/19, & Concours Judging School 3/31/19 at CFOS Options

[Tom_T]

This is a heads-up & clarification -

I wanted to get back to the members on here about the 914's 50th Anniversary thinking that our 914's 50th was being shunned, after another member here had posted that PCA was only recognizing the 964's 30th at the Werks Reunion (actually it's at this year's event 2019 for 964 1989-2019).

I contacted PCA's CEO Vu Nguyen - who is a 72 914/4 owner himself BTW - to find out what was planned for 2020.

He clarified that this year's 2019 Werks Reunion is celebrating the 964's 30th Anniversary, & that the 2020 is definitely doing the 914's 50th 1970-2020. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Apparently the 2020 Parade will be in Zone 8, Riverside Region, in Palm Springs! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

But there is no website for it yet, but the 2019 Parade Spacebook page notes for you Social Media addicts -

For those not yet members of PCA - the $46 annual dues is well worth the money for just the Panorama monthly magazine - in comparison with Excellence magazine's subscription of $48 IIRC - & PCA includes membership for 2 (2nd is Associate for spouce, kid, etc.), free PCA Juniors Program for your kids/grandkids, nieces/nephews, whatever, a bunch of free & low fee events locally & around the country if you're traveling, as well as Concours, Autocross, Rally, Race, DE, Treffen, Werks, Tours, etc., etc. events to use & enjoy your P-car(s).

A flood of new 914 owners joining will also bolster our 914 presence at all levels of PCA for the upcoming 2020 50th anniversary.

So you folks can also get around during this year, to also help getting 914 50th recognition, timelines, featured cars, displays, etc. put on within your own PCA Zones & Regions.

I'll be doing so in Zone 8's & OC Region's Concours, & our Zone 8 Concours Chair Dick Douglas is very interested in getting 914ers out to display &/or enter at the various Concours, as well as at the morning breakfasts (Dick does the GPX Region's Cone Zone in Seal Beach). So we have a willing leadership here.

Hopefully you do too, or can convince some to be willing in your respective Zones & Regions.

Let's start pushing now, for getting lotsa 914s out to PCA & other events during its 50th anniversary year next year in 2020. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Speaking of which, with Dick Douglas's help, we were successful in reeducating some of the Zone 8 Concours head judges & event chairs that 914s & other P-cars with "alternative powerplants" & drivetrains ARE in fact eligible to compete in the Special Categories Division, as well as are Racer 914s & P-cars which have been tracked within the prior 12 months.

So at least in Zone 8's Central & SoCal, AZ & Southern NV Regions - 914s with V8s, Subies, EVs, & even Cessna & Rotax aircraft engines, or any other engines are welcomed - whether as a car entered for judging, or for Display only.
