Bring the 914s Click to view attachment

Might even be worth the trip from Utah...

.......or New Jersey

Snap my Granddaughter will be born around that time....I may tell them to hold off a few days..
They are big star war fans ...MAY THE 4Th be with you, Get it lol...

Damn, that'd be impressive! If you drive out, you've got a place to stay within a days drive from L.A. and I'd be definitely going!

I will be there if at all possible! However I may not have a street-legal aircooled car to bring at the time, or anytime soon... I made it on the streets last year but it was pretty sketchy and the car is even further modified and decaled now.

It.s Sunday the 7th my friend.

yes sir after checking the site is says May 7. The first post indicated May 6/7. Well sorry for me can't attend.

I'll be there, cool spot to. I just drove by there today.

I went last year. Awesome show.

Got an email for tix yesterday- damn, I should drive over from PHX...

Just down the street from me !

I will have my six there for sure. Registered today.

Signed up first thing in the morning.

Question----- do you need to get in with parking only or do you need to pay parking and entrence fee?. Trying to sign up now !!


Thanks

I'll be there showing the 2 Rothsport Mexican 1000 rally cars. Patrick asked that they come as they finished the race the week before. Porsche factory style.

Off for a test flight.

Kangaroo bars being assembled today. Bastos type Rothsport Racing livery being done the week before we leave.

Been watching the build on iG and it's over the top ¡...bring 'em dirty !
Marty

I'll try and do a video with audio. The sound from two blocks away will curl your toes. Bitchn.
Rothsport designed GT2 exhaust for the 3.6.

I will be there but probably not driving or walking under my own power...

If anyone might be up for carpooling (driving me) from the Agoura Hills area, please PM.

Also FWIW VARA/SVRA is racing at Buttonwillow that weekend will which surely impact the Porsche participation at one event or the other...my guess is Luft will pull the crowd

Nevermind!

Chris, if you can get to the Hollywood area early in the morning, you can hitch a ride with us from there. PM me for details ¡
Marty

Thank you Marty, you're awesome! I'll aim to line-up transport a good week or two ahead. I just got the great news that I'll be off crutches by then, which should make it a MUCH more enjoyable event.

I snoozed and now the air-cooled Porsche parking is sold out.
To bad for me.

See all of you down in ' Pedro. Will be walking the show this year (bringing no cars) with Mattylite, Chris cjcam and a couple other teener gearheads. For a Luft warm up...our Hollywood Cruise-in has been rescheduled to Sunday April 30, 2017, 2017. Details in another thread !

Yes this happened to me also. Awe schnitzel. Would have loved to show my car there.

two more weeks. Anyone wanna meet up in the O.C to caravan ?

Darn... Same day as PCA Orange Coast autocross. Have fun.

Chris, please confirm with me for next Sunday 5.7.17 , as I will meet you for pick up in Hollywood at 7am, same addy as the Hollywood cruise-in's.

If I don't hear from you this week, we will drive straight to San Pedro from L.A.
ALSO, get your general admission ticket online...avoid the long lines at Luft.
Hope all is good ! Marty

for Sunday May 7, 2017

Last year I got there maybe 6:30AM and the show area was already filling-up with a line down the block; they turned me away. Probably best they did the pre-reserve this time but it sounds like the venue is too small!

Hi Marty,

I just left a VM on your shop phone w/ my cell # - I'm still up for carpooling if you are, and I can meet you wherever convenient. I do already have my admission ticket. Thanks again!

Chris

Got your vm today Chris...all good, will meet at La Brea Sunset Plaza; check the addy' in my thread Hollywood Cruise-in. Anyone else wanting to caravan out to Luft 4...meet there between 7-730 am , Sunday 05.07.17
The show is getting bigger each year, coffee table Luft book already in print and for sale. Big dollar cars by invitation only in the main bldg. Divvy'd out spaces outside on the parking lot that will not hold enough of SoCals Radest (not to mention out of state attendees) air cool's.
Bigger venue next year ¿

Dang it!!!! Happened to me too. Plan on a busy morning...lots of cars, and not too much space.

I plan on leaving No. OC @ 5:30AM (Near Beach / Orangethorpe) basically 5 @ 91 fwys

Wow, this came up fast !

I'm pre registered and will be in line around seven am I hope...

Not a long drive for me !

30 percent chance of rain.

The event planners have stated that this is a Rain or Shine gathering.
Last year at the gathering in Vernon, the rain let up overnight, and it was a gorgeous day.
I fabricated a trick magnetic / vinyl engine grill cover (keep the water out of the horiz fan and air filter) and brought it to protect these vulnerable engine components....never needed it. I won't need it this
Sunday tho
