They didn't sell out very fast at the Monterey PP, and that was one big PP. you might consider volunteering for 1 or 2 events you want to attend; saves $$ and you are in.
I volunteered to help Eric Shea for the tour to Big Sur and to Canapa Design, had a great time and didn't cost - plus, got a free lunch at both. Something to consider...

All I wanted to do for years was compete in the Parade Autocross. It was "sold out" within an our or so after registration opened. I know because I tried staying up to register the first day after midnight. screwy.gif

Your right; the auto cross was a fast sell out. I went up to watch and was surprised how many entries showed.

What Parade did the autocross sell out? Normally the tours are the only thing that sells out. There's a board in Hospitality where people sell their spots for events.

wow, the music is interesting - kind of reminds me of the musical scene at the end of revenge of the nerds - hope that 80's music didn't just make it to spokane

never been to a parade - maybe this year, as i'm pretty close by in seattle

Drove to the '75 Parade in SeaTac.....from New Jersey in a 1959 356 Sunroof Coupe with my brother...and sister....and another sister with her boyfriend who were in a 1969 911T coupe. Another brother drove his '64 356 there too with his girlfriend.
Three in a 356 for 5600 miles. Has to be some kind of record.
We all still get along.
Would be a bunch more comfortable in a 914 6.....with my wife.

This isn't the same as Rennsport, is it?

Definitely not the same; but parts of it are interesting and there are tours. The PP at Monterey was really good and drew one of the largest group of Porsches and enthusiasts. The tour to Big Sur and Canapa were excellent too.
My favorite event was the all-day concours on the lawn, the variety of cars was like being at the Porsche Museum.

I'm planning on going; but its not Rennsport, gotta wait until 2018 for that smile.gif
