I will be flying back from Austria that weekend. I seem to miss all the big Porsche events.

I'll be there from Chicago, but not with my car. If there will be a gathering of the faithful, please broadcast the location and time.
Same - flying in from Charlotte on Thursday. Staying at HoJo. May visit some friends when we get in...
Yes, please broadcast any gatherings!!

Is there a 914World members rendezvous date/time/location being planned?
All of our 914world friends can always meet up at the MSDS booth located in the Merchant row. Not a big tent, but centrally located if you need to meet up, hang out or

Had I thought about it and planned better, I was going to ask one of you if we could borrow a 914 for the corral. However, being only a month-ish away and obviously the corrals are sold out, I guess it doesn't matter now. We'll have a rental car instead..

I'll be at HoJo Thursday. I have an open seat if you would like to join us at the corral; there should be additional open seats from HoJo to Laguna Seca.
FYI: there's a great lunch/dinner place on the beach at the end of Reservation Road in Marina. Kula Ranch. Good parking, reasonable prices, and right on the beach.
Where do you find info on if any tickets left for the corral?

The corral has been sold out however you can get on a waiting list though I wonder what the likelihood of more room opening up! I must say it is quite amazing to me that at a Porsche only event the Porsche Corral parking would not have enough tickets to buy at this point being over a month away.

For the 2011 Rennsport IV at Laguna Seca, they used all the area in Green Lots 3 and 4 for the Porsche Corral (see attached layout) - that's a lot of parking! My guess is they just didn't have enough room; they may open up more dedicated Porsche corral space but I wouldn't bet on it. Between you and me, I'm not driving my 914 or Cayman - I can't handle the heavy clutch in the Teener for the long traffic jam drive home to San Jose (plus the lot closed before I could even sign up for it).

Here's a short video of the Green parking lot at the last Rennsport. It starts near #3 of the green section (see map in previous post) and swings up to green #4. In the distance you can see a whole bunch of cars parked in the Blue #4 section. As I recall there were about 800 Porsches in the green section and another 500 in the blue section ... and they still ran out of reserved spots.
I'll have a 10x20 tent/booth there. We can hook up there. Last time we all tried to meet it was in the beer garden and kinda loose.
Stop by and say hi.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!!

Getting closer, I just scored a deal on airfare so flying instead of driving, or riding on transport
I'm sure I will find Shea and a few others, much of my time will be in the pits helping out some friends. Look for the big Red toterhome with a plain white stacking trailer as seen in the pic, and these two cars, along with others...
Hope to see some other 914's in the corral...we only had seven cars at the Werks Reunion

I got my tix the other day, woohoo! I'm leaning towards driving my truck since I'm camping in the dirt for 3 days. If I bring the 911 it will need a full detail after that.

Received a call from Laguna Seca regarding corral parking as I was put on a over flow list and they are expanding the corral so would like to know how many of each Porsche model and years will be parking for the plan. If you haven't bought your corral space call them and get on The list. Phone # at the ticket office is (831) 242-8200 they expect to make the revised plan by Monday or Tuesday so do it soon, and remember the more the marier!

I received my tickets last week for paddock parking. Now I need to decide if I want to drive the 914 or one of my other cars.
Are there any drives planned?

Porsche thought that 1,200 corral spaces would do, but more new spaces means more Porsches . Renn 5 is going to be epic

I received my passes and green corral parking yesterday, and it looks like they're going to put us in the same section as the last Rennsport, along with the 912s. It's one of the closest spots you can get to the paddock ... green #3 in the map below. Click to view attachment

All you CA people make me mad. I'm still waiting for the tickets and corral pass to get here. It looks like the 914 will be ready to take a cross country tour as a six.

I just got my tickets and corral pass the other day. See you guys there!
I like watching from the top of the corkscrew or along the side by the bridge near the corkscrew. The group three was very exciting last time.
I see the Frank-Ginther car will be there.

We are...and I think a bunch here are too. Looking forward to it, but got a lot to do before then...just got back from SCCA hillclimb (where Nadine and I finished 1-2 in class with Huey!!), need to get him back to street clothes and cleaned up and get everything together for Okteenerfest this weekend!!
Can't wait for RR to RELAX!

Car is all packed and ready to go
Tomorrow 12:00, we leave L.A. and drive along the coast all the way up
My car got a wash and wax and a few other details taken care of today. It is ready for Friday. Tomorrow I need to make sure the Bumblebee will start and check fuilds so Kathy can drive it as well.
My friend set up his race rigs today and told me that it is already very busy at Laguna Seca. I am excited for this epic event.
