Chris...Looks like you needed a proper German 8 conversion dose at Renn6; but you can drive over the hill anytime and have a cold one with the 9148-gtt

Drove mine 1150 miles from Durango to the track. I was part of the Durango Porsche Caravan (4 cars and the only 914).

Oops sorry Marty...was only thinking back to what I saw in the Corral and Paddock. I did come see your GTT masterpiece-in-progress in your booth as well. You were occupied at the moment tho.

Looking good Mike. I walked by several times hoping to run into you to no avail. Hope to see you at an event next year. Mike

Yes he does, Oscar. He's got about 3 inches on me now and I don't think he is done.

Thanks for posting these pics Marty. It is fun putting names with faces.

It was great meeting so may 914 world members this trip. I look forward to seeing you all again.

Sorry I missed you. Red Rocks might be in Moab next year!

By page 19 most cars have probably been shared but here are a few of mine. This was our 3rd RR at Laguna and you see completely different things each time. Highlights for me were Porsche #1, A 924 DP car with the original bodywork, the dozen or so 959 road cars including a unique factory orange and forest green version. My wife enjoyed the celebrity aspect including meeting Adam Carolla, Mike "wheeler dealer" Brewer who performed the whole parting paragraph from his show ending in "Tah-Lah" for her, and Maria Sharapova. Hurley Haywood said there will be a Brumos museum opening in about a year (Jacksonville, of course) that will be twice the size of their old showcase for the race cars and sounded like merch, etc will be available again. Great time as usual and a must see if you haven't been.

Nice momentous:

Hi Jim_Hoyland,
Can you tell us who was selling the Rennsport and 70 year anniversary badges?
Thanks,
Bill.

Porsche was giving away at least 2 of them...

My buddy and I had to work for ours. We had to download the Rennsport 6 app and take 9 pictures to their specifications then show the pictures to them to collect the badges. We were limited to a choice of one badge or the other but not both of the badges Jim displayed. Never saw the one pictured at top and that is a very cool badge!
If Porsche was giving them away that would have been cool but we missed that if true.

Porsche stopped by the PCA tent on Sunday with about 1000 of each badge They asked us to give them away to members. I thought they were older badges from other events, but no, these were actual event badges. They easily could have sold these for $25 each and they would have sold out. Nice touch that they gave them away.

It was in front of the in-car simulator in the Paddock. The Porsche rep handed two of them to Buddy. We thanked her.

The middle badge it too cool.

I was given the one with the one race car, will make a nice display piece.

The Ferry Porsche 100 yr badge was being blown out by a Porsche dealership on vendor row...$20. The other Rennsport badges were not for sale and you just had to be in the right place at the right time for the hand out. Very nice of them to do, tons of free swag this year including metal street signs.

If anyone has any spare of the red badge lower left, I would really appreciate if I could get 2, one for my buddy that was there with me and one for me. Be more than happy to pay shipping. Or if you know who to contact.

I heard that they are including RR swag in the PCA regional meeting raffle tomorrow at Glory Days in Desl Beach
I’ll see what I can do.....

It only takes a Rennsport Reunion to get like minds together Martin, good meeting you as well

Thanks to all for the pics.
Good to see the real people that we know only by 914World names.
Maybe next year for me.
Where will it be ?

Recently they have been held every three years. The last few have been at Laguna Seca but have also been held at Lime Rock and Daytona.

Weathertech is putting a lot of their investment cash into Laguna Seca, and Porsche put a lot more bells + whistles into Rennsport6 (compared to their 2015 show). Porsche basically takes over this track and puts on a show unparralled by any other Porsche gathering....including an evening concert with a big outdoor stage featuring Bob Weir, Seal .This year attendee ticket and vendor space sales were up (overheard) +30% over Rennsport5; and also heard that they want to hold several more Rennsports here. It would only be fair to rotate tracks for these shows around this big country...time will tell

Rennsport6 is in the bag...sans Sheridan wide body and homeward bound for a bit more work !

Cool to see wheels on that beast Marty

My Pleasure.

PCNA employee said the next Rennsport Reunion is being planned for 4 years out. This one was done in 3 years so it would coincide with the Porsche 70 Year Celebration.

If they are thing like that the next one may coincide with the 75th (five years out). And it looks like they are in love with Laguna Seca.

Sure wish they'd consider coming back east again ...

Or even somewhere in the middle of the US.

COTA is an world class F1 track. Road America is a world class road racing facility. Both would draw lots of Porsches from both coasts.

Road America would be fun. Mid Ohio is another sort of central venue. I guess this is similar to the SCCA Runoffs situation, which has been moving around the country periodically for the past couple decades.

COTA would be sensational !¡

It was my 1st Rennsport. Quite emotional for me.
Here's my most emotional moment. Jackie Ickx sitting in his 953.

Good friend of mine Rami, just had to ham it up a bit in the Rennsport6 Cut-out/ Photo-op tent. Hurley was looking on and gave us a few laughs

OK Marty, did you happen to check out this tent at Rennsport?

Seems right up your ally

Very cool they are taking the McLaren F1 engine-mule 930 idea and making 11 more road-cars

Whoops!
Just saw your post a few pages back, you were across the street neighbors. Very cool to see two WILD Porsche project tents right across from each other!!!
