I'm the GM at GT3TEK and we'll be set up on vendors row with our Porsche aero parts on display all 3 days, stop by and say hi!

Not bringing my 914 because we don't make any 914 parts but will have my 95 993RS clone in the corral all 3 days.

Hope to see some of you there!

Kicking the idea around with Brent (Wertygrog), is anyone up for a group dinner Saturday night? Nothing too formal.

Got a clean bill today on the 930, will be leaving Thursday about 5AM from San Juan Capistrano. Taking 5 to 46 (quick stop in Cholame to give my respects) then to the 1 the rest of the way. Anyone wishing to join is welcome. Anyone see me on the side of the road, please help!

My grand prix white 76 turbo will be in the pits (hopefully) with a couple of early giant killers, a silver RS60 and a silver Abarth Carrera possibly the (Cerwin Vega doh edit, don't know what I was thinking) Altec Lansing IMSA 914-6 as well (not sure if it's going to make it though). Stop and say hi! Looking forward to biergarden at noon on sat! Shall we be using the three finger (jack stand) salute to identify ourselves?

I have to be at work on Friday

but I'll leave from there.

I like the idea of dinner but I'll be trapped at the track. I am camping at the track (corkscrew view 612) and the RV does not make for a great "run into town" vehicle.

I have a small propane BBQ and will have plenty of beer for anyone stopping by.

We're leaving for the airport this morning, should be in Monterey this evening. Julie needs a couple of days of Big Sur and Carmel before jointing me at the track over the weekend.

I see that the county also has a bus line that takes us from the Embassy Suites in Seaside to the track. Might be convenient if parking is a big hassle with the rental car.

Several of us from SF Valley area are meeting up at the McDonalds in Castaic (5 frwy at Lake Hughes Rd. ish) Thurs. Morning at 8am and will be going back roads and coast up to Montery. Drop me a PM if you want to join in so we can keep a look out.

That's pretty cool, are you taking the coast or inland?

We are leaving Northern SD at 7, so I don't think we can make that checkpoint by 8

If you're leaving SD at 7 AM, you might consider going up the 5 to the 605 and go up to the 210. (The 57 is another bypass road, and an even more direct route might well be the inland route, 15, picking up the 210 in Fontana.) Take the 210 through Pasadena (watch the signs!), following it north and west along the base of the mountains to the 5. Take the 5 to the 126, cut over to the 101. The 126 meets the 101 in Ventura. You avoid downtown or the Westside, as well as the Valley. Let me know if you're planning a lunch stop with me. The shop phone number is (805) 925-1993.

We are going N5 to Fraiser Park, then on Cuddy Valley/Forest Hwy95 to Hwy33, 33 though Taft then to Hwy58/Blue Star Memorial to Bitterwater Rd. north to Cholame (James Dean Memorial). On to Paso Robles, Peachy Canyon, 46w to Hwy 1 and points North!

Jim, I'll be camping in Corkscrew View as well and will have my F150 Supercrew - will be glad to drive you and any others (well, up to 3-4) to dinner if we have one.

There is a pizza/italian place up the road that is pretty good and has a large dining room as well as some outside tables I believe. I've been there a number of times for takeout grub to bring back to my campsite.

Oct 11 2011, 09:44 PM

Here is the restaurant I suggest for a group dinner, unless someplace else was already picked and I missed it. I'll probably grab something here on Friday night regardless...

If anyone has a corral pass that they won't be using on any of the days, could you please let me know. Though I'm driving a rental, a friend of mine is driving from Illinois in his 72 911 and would love a corral pass to show his car.

I can be reached on my cell, 847-721-2156. My wife and I got to Monterey today to spend a couple of days sightseeing beforen the weekend. We're staying at the Embassy Suites in Seaside.

Thanks,

I have the very end spot on the upper level of Corkscrew View behind you.

Pizza place sounds good to me.

Jim

PS I have a "Camping Support Vehicle" pass that I don't need, it allows someone to park in the camping area. I won't show up until Friday night (late knowing me).

I'm goin! Cruising down to Redwood City to look at a car today and figured, what the heck, keep headed south. Will camp out around Capitola, then on to Laguna Seca for the day on friday. And I will be in the corral, cause i got turned on to a free pass!

Anywhere particular you other 914 folks will be hanging out on Friday and Friday night?

The troops are arriving, big lines at registration this morning. An awful lot of nice machinery is coming out of the woodwork for this one. My first time at Laguna Seca, and the track looks a whole lot nicer for this event than Daytona. No where near as many biker bars either.

Weather today is wonderful as well. Looks like it's going to be a great Rennsport.

Go to searchtempest.com, put in your zip code and search for 'rennsport'. You'll get a lot of hits for SF Bay and Monterey Bay. Right now there's a guy in the Monterey Bay area selling two 3-day tickets plus a Blue parking pass (which I think is a Porsche only display area, but it's on dirt) for the princely sum of $250. If you don't care about parking, there are guys selling tix for cheap.

ok, moved my pics "mispost" to eric's san josey thread, where they have some actual context...

rennsport on saturday was so awesome. sun took awhile to come out but, we're only mildly sunburnt for it. been to historic events that featured porsche as the marque but this blew 'em away! i'm sure i'll wonder if it was all just a dream tomorrow...

mr. bell was kind enough to sign an autograph or two between promotional gigs for speed channel.

Just got back from Laguna Seca...WELL worth it to go. I got some cheap tickets so it was doubly worth it.

I doubt there are many get togethers with more Porsches. Wolfgang Porsche was there driving the original 550, Sienfeld's 550 prototype is also there.

The Porsche Museum sent over some great examples! Loved it!

When we were meeting up at the Beer Garden, I saw one of us walking around with a WCR T-Shirt, looking for us. I lost him in the crowd and don't know who it was and now I feel horrible!

Oct 16 2011, 11:47 PM

Great event, well attended and organized. SCRAMP , PCNA, and PCA all deserve kudos for putting this together. I met several other members, and it was great to chat in person.

I did see the green GMC Palm Beach parked across the track from us, but it was too long a hike to get to. Looks just like mine back home! Nice to see other 914s enjoying these things.

Now, where can they organize Rennsport 5?
