That is sexy as hell Steve! Love the Fikse wheels!

This was not the optimum place for a concours event, and I think that Dana Point Lantern Bay Park has really spoiled us for years. That is a hard venue to top.

I also noticed that there were very few full concours cars there yesterday, with the middle of the event quite bare with entrants choosing to skip the whole thing.

All in all, a good event, but the heat was a bit over the top. Not at all comparable to last year's gathering on the bluff overlooking Dana Point Harbor.

I spotted this nicely turned out /6 on the grass…

POSTS FOR THE 2017 PCA OCR CONCOURS & CAR SHOW STARTS HERE

Come by just to chat, visit & on the cool 914s & other P-cars, or to display your baby, or maybe even enter to show yours!

Remember that there is now a 914/914-6 only Class in every Division - so no more fighting with the taildragger & new fangled Porsches anymore for at least a 1st or 2nd in Class Trophy - with the areas judged in each Div. listed below:

W&S = Wash & Shine - Exterior & Interior Only (2 areas)

(UG = Ubergang - Adds Storage to Ext & Int. (3 areas)
> this is for newer Porsches without Engine Access for prep & judging)

S = Street - Adds both Engine & Storage to Ext & Int. (4 areas)

UR = Unrestored - Adds both Engine & Storage to Ext & Int. (4 areas)
> for cars 20+ years old & 75% original Paint & Interior

SC = Special Categories - Adds both Engine & Storage to Ext & Int. (4 areas)
> SC-2 for racers/AX cars, & SC-3 for Any Porsche with Engine or other changes - even EVs,* Subies & V8s!

FC = Full Concours - Adds Undercarriage (Underside/Belly/Susp./Engine/Trans/etc.)
to Int, Ext, Engine, Storage (i.e.: 6 areas)

* A really clean EV 914 won SC back in 2015 at OCR, but there often aren't enough or any cars in SC at many shows.

Bring whichever Porsche you want for display or entry, or any car to visit.

According to the latest email from OCR, the Bier Garden is now off - don't know if the City put the kibosh on it or what.

They'll still have some better food trucks / "roach coaches" there for food, & there are loads of restaurants & fast food up & down the main drag too.

Latest update from OCR - Judged cars must register online by this coming Wednesday 6/14, Display can be drive-up on Saturday - not "Sunday" as in the quoted email below - unless you want to be by yourself!

Both judged entrants & display include a lunch ticket AFAIK & Goodie Bag from the sponsors (except drive-up display may not) ....

"


The 47th annual edition of Porsches in the Park, a White Glove Concours and Porsche display presented by the Porsche Club of America, Orange Coast Region, is set for Saturday, June 17 in Fountain Valley’s Mile Square Park.

Judged cars arrive at 7 am, with display cars arriving after 7:30 am. The entry fee is $55 per judged car, and $20 for each Porsche on display*. The opening ceremony is set for 9 am, with judging beginning at 9:30 am, and the awards ceremony starting at approximately 1:30 pm.

*For the Display cars, this is also known as the "Park & Party'" Class. Bring your chairs, a picnic lunch or buy lunch from the food trucks, and other "Party Supplies" (just be discreet) and hang out with your Porsche Friends in the Park.

Consider entering the Picnic Display Competition - it is always fun - just put your creative hat on and go for it. One year an entrant had coconuts for the headlights of their Porsche to match the grass skirt on the front bumper to go with their Hawaiian theme, it was a hoot!

Unfortunately, the beer garden had to be cancelled. Do not know why.

For additional details, the event flyer is on our website at www.pcaocr.com/?page=1&e=4861
Register by 6/14 at https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/pca-oc...ge-coast-160197
Additional Porsche Display cars can come as late as Sunday morning, but cannot be guaranteed a Goodie Bag.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Primary sponsors include Circle Porsche and Porsche Riverside.
Additional sponsors include LoJack, Cooper’s Classy Care Care, Cape Auto Repair, Bruce Power's Autowerkes, The Porsche Design Store, Hagerty Insurance, Mothers Car Care Products and Stoner Car Care Products."

Today Wed. 6/14 is the last day to register for judged cars, or if you want to upgrade from Display to Entrant.

Also the last day to register as Display if you want to get a "Goodie Bag" - otherwise there will be drive up registration for Display at the site, from what I understand.

As of the judging assignments for today, there are 2 914s entered for judging on Saturday:

Street Div.:

S-8 1972 914 (Dave Hall)
.

Special Categories:

SC-1 1974 914 (Gary Scott)
.

I don't have any list on display cars, so I have no idea how many of you will be there representing 914ers, but you can decide last minute & register for display at the event. I suggest that you try to stake out an area to group the display 914s, like y'all did last year, for better impact. The folks doing placement of cars are usually pretty open to that.

Do come out & support your fellow 914 owners who did enter - even if you just come down to visit with or without a 914.

I'm judging in the Full Concours Div., so I won't lay hands on any of the 914s, unless judging assignments change between now & then.

Cheers!

Click to view attachment I saw 5 914s total

Thanx for posting the pix! I think you'd gone when Johan got there with his red 74 914-6 3.2 conversion got there - so maybe 6x 914s.

Both 914s won their Class, & I think Gary may have repeated on Specials Division again this year, but I couldn't hear the winners due to the PA system going out again then (off-&-on all day).

I went looking for you before we started judging & after, but you must've been out-n-about then taking these.

And then after the judging I was going to show one of our other old time Porsche guys your V8 conversion, but you'd taken off already.

He was telling me an old time story from 1970 when he got his 1st Porsche & was looking into PCA, he went to an LA Region meeting where someone was doing a talk on whether the 914 was a real Porsche, so he walked out & never joined until decades later, when they finally got over themselves in PCA - & he's a 911 taildragger guy, but just hated that sort of NARP BS back then. We were having a grand ole chat about the 914-6, /4 & 914-8 & the various conversions done now.

Glad you came & enjoyed yourself.

Cheers!
Tom
