OK - for you 914 folks in PCA's Zone 8 - covering the Central & So Cal, AZ & So. NV (Vegas) areas' Regions - I proposed splitting out the 914s, from the `60's & `70's era 911s & 912s & 930s for our Wash & Shine Division (as it is for the higher divisions), & it has now made it to the official list of proposed rule changes for the 2016 season.

Recently I proposed the separation to make it easier for 914 folks who want to start easy into concoursing, or show a DD, or just literally prep for display but get judged for potential awards, or wind down from more serious judging divisions (other divs. cover more areas).

W&S is the ideal division for folks who want to try out Concours, or not get too seriously deep into it - especially for those who also DD, AX, etc. their Porsches.

So it's now time to speak up for that proposal, if you're a PCA Zone 8 member - or would become one - to add support to the proposal. There are some judges out there who may not want the extra work, so may speak against it.

Our Zone 8 "Wash & Shine" (W&S) Division only judges on 2 areas - Exterior & Interior, so for it you don't have to prep the trunks, engine bay, nor undercarriage (underbody, lower drivetrain/etc. & suspension). Other PCA Zones around the country may call it something else, & many don't have our Full Concours which judges all of those areas (most call Full or Concours without judging undercarriage).

Each Division has different "Classes" covering each of the Porsche models/groups. But in our Zone 8 rules - while 914s have their own separate class as does most othe models - in the "entry drug to concours" W&S the 914s have been unfairly lumped in with all of the other 1960-70 911/912/930 cars - most of which are not driven much, if at all.

You can go to this link to read the proposed changes of all Zone 8 Rules - including Concours - & there are email links to speak for/against any of them.
