Who is going? Looks like I'm in a special 914 group. Yay me (and thanks for organizing, Ethan). I guess I should go wash the 914.

I'll be leaving North County San Diego about 5am if anyone wants to caravan...

I tried, but parking was "sold out" the day after I got the email.
And I don't want to park in "bfe". Maybe next year!

Wow - Likewise I was disappointed the 'show' spots sold out overnight and now extra disappointed to learn the entire event is sold out, with no convenient parking and no pedestrian access to the site. Organizers are recommending carpooling/ridesharing instead of driving our Porsches down there - WTF?!?! Sounds like a very poor choice of venue and a logistical nightmare. I'm out.

This event has gotten too 'trendy.' Unfortunately, it's become a victim of it's own popularity.

$35 and $65 seems like someone is making a lot of money off of a car show.

My $.02.


Wow, that's some serious money, making our event a real bargain.
For all you East Coast Air Cooled Porsche enthusiasts we are having our 14th annual
ALL AIR COOLER GATHERING - We charge only $15.00 per person (including car).
We had 300 cars last year!

A portion of our proceeds go to help armed service members through the non-profit organization Jersey Cares.

Last years event - www.allaircooledgathering.com
Search videos of past events on YouTube.

SHOW - Sunday, September 16, 2018
Camping - Friday and Saturday September 15th and 16th.

So...I have general admission tickets and I'm happy to have 'em since it appears to be totally at capacity/sold out.

But - I'm somewhat confused about parking despite the new information on the website (https://luftgekuhlt.com/luftgekhlt-5/) and an email stating same.

It says:
"There is no pedestrian access to the facility. The entire area is an industrial area devoid of sidewalks and the Torrance PD will be there enforcing that."

Huh?
I'm fine with an off-site parking arrangement but given that a mile isn't that much and I'd rather get a little exercise and walk....shuttle busses always seem inefficient.

The view from google maps shows plenty of sidewalks in the area/between the lot and the location...so...

I know this will be more obvious upon the day of the gig but I'm just trying to figure out my approach.

I think there is a dirt sidewalk on the North side of Del Amo Blvd, but it ends once you get to the Linde facility. The problem with that, is that Del Amo is a divided highway with a concrete K-Rail dividing the directions of traffic, which isn't safe to cross. (north side to south side) This is why the Torrance PD will be enforcing the "no walking" policy, and will certainly be writing tickets for jay walking.

Ah - understood. That stinks. Looks like you can make it on the south side of Del Amo all the way to Crenshaw which is where the sidewalk ends heading west. Oh, well....bus it is, I guess.

I got the special invite as well. will be heading up there Saturday night around 6 to pre stage the car. Only problem is I did not get an general admission for my spouse and I think she might be miffed if she cant go too. Had no idea general admission would sell out. Must be due to fire code regulations. I agree parking for spectators is a nightmare...Always great cars show up though.

I'l be there with GA tickets as well, but will just park near my office on W Carson St. Plan is to just grab an Uber over as there is a ride share drop off at the main gate. Not worth fighting the masses to park and enter.

For some dumb reason I waited this week to buy my GA tickets only to find out, like many, that they sold out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
My wife found a pair of tickets on Facebook and bought them for us (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

I just read the email about the parking shuttle thing... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I was at Luft IV and I thought a good portion of the event is the gathering of Porsche of various flavors, each one has a long story. The event really starts in the parking lot and keeps on getting better.

Looking forward to the event tomorrow. Will it beat last years event?

I will drive my 914 to the visitors parking because that's how you go to these event in my book. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Enjoy the event! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
