2019 OCR White Glove Concours Event June 15, 2019, 914 corral Options

[SRS914]

I'm a new guy here but I was approached by Norm Follis with PCA's Orange Coast chapter at a recent gathering about a proposed 914 corral at the 2019 OCR White Glove Concours event at Sea Terrace Park in Dana Point on June 15, 2019.

The proposed 914 corral would be for all years and 914 models regardless of condition. Obviously, we welcome those 914 owners that want to enter the Concours to have their cars judged, however, we also want those cars that are for display only. We would certainly get far more cars registered for the enjoyment of the spectators by encouraging all comers.

We are currently in the process of designing the field for car placement and realizing the event date is several months away, if possible, I would like to get a general idea of the approximate number of 914s that we might expect to attend the event. Would be great to have a strong showing. Let me know if you are interested.

George,

I always volunteer as one of the judges for the OCR Concours part of this event, as I do for 3-6+ per year throughout the year. The next one upcoming will be at the Westlake Village CA Hyatt on Sat. 1-19-19 - for those interested.

What our OCR Chair & others have noticed over the past few years - even at the less scenic Fountain Valley CA park venue - is that we always have a very large & tight-knit 914 turn-out for display cars - in addition to the few who actually enter the judged event. They've also seen the great 914 turn-out for our monthly breakfast meetings' "Cone Zone" when it features 914s.

This is mostly due to 914world & 914club members showing up BTW.

So after a few years of trying to get at least a 914 section in the display area - Norm went the step further & asked Shawn to help him organize an actual "914 Corral"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Although in the PCA-OCR club's email Norm et al called it by the "914 SIG" (Special Interest Group) - which isn't active much at all now, but it is a PCA group, & many of us on here are also signed up for the SIG.

Shawn - Thanx for taking this duty on, & please make sure that you talk Norm into including 914world & 914club on the credits & signage - if he's able to do so under PCA Rules. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

For those interested, there was an evil-bay vendor in the UK who was producing repro 914 SIG grill badges like the one below - so maybe somebody can talk him into doing a new run & GB of them. I got one back in 2017 IIRC, & they're nicely done.

- even if you're not a 914 SIG member - many/most like this badge design

Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
