The Porsche Parade TY is in Palm Springs in June. I'd at a minimum like to attend, and at best take my Chevy V8 powered 914.
I'm not yet a PCA member. I've been told that the PCA does not recognize Porsches with non Porsche engines...even in their "Modified" classes. True? Can I join the PCA with a Chevy powered Porsche? Can I bring it to the Parade in some sort of "display only" category? Maybe this? (in the December Panorama in the article on the Parade)... "The Historics Display is again part of this perfect setting. Its theme this year is California Dreamin', representing the free spirit and creativity of Porsche owners. The display will feature restored older model Porsches with modern equipment, outlandish paint, and other appointments, often called "outlaws." No factory-stock Porsches at this year's display!" |

I was somewhat encouraged when a friend showed me this in last month's Panorama describing the Outlaw display class for this year's event...
"Its theme this year is California Dreamin', representing the free spirit and creativity of Porsche owners." I did write PCA on Manny's suggestion. There is no class for judging or even display that I could enter at the Parade , and with a non-Porsche engine I can't join the PCA. I did "crash" the Seattle PCA chapter's meet at Carillon Point last fall, but my car looks so stock I don't think anyone noticed until I was parked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) It rumbles a little and when I was driving in someone remarked to me that it was the 3rd 914-6 at the meet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (BTW, a bunch of nice, friendly Porsche owners at that meet. Lots of interest in the car. They even gave me a 3rd in class award (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . I don't think they were only being polite, but if they were it works for me) I do think it is perfectly OK for the PCA to limit their focus to Porsche and Porsche power. I would guess that focus would please the large majority of the members and potential members. I've written the Werks Reunion also. It is the 14th of August in Monterey. I'll post when they answer my eMail. |
