Basically NO 914's in the restoration/preservation classes. A nice Patrick Motorsport in the race class. And that was IT!!! I guess I could have driven up, left all the bugs intact and took first place.
Met up with my new buds, great hanging out with the 914world contingent. Thanks guys! 74 hot rod... Ferg in the paddock... 914 in the paddock... I saw more 914's at Scott's place. Paul |

There are several full concours weenies in the San Diego area and one has won the parade several times with their 356 restoration. They start on it in Feb or March and the car is in an actual clean room with filtered air and the workers actually wear clean suits! I heard it takes a week to get the room clean to just start work and when the car is finished the trailer is also sealed and the car is loaded on a windless day so there is no dust! Yikes! Now though they at least have to drive the car onto the display field and the judges expect to see grass on the wheels! Whew!
At the last parade in San Diego one of the 356 owners had just installed a new top (NOS from a factory package) on his cabrio and it had wrinkles and I guess a couple of the judges didn't like that so he pulled out another brand new top that he had bought at the same time, opened it right up and dammed it there weren't wrinkles in that one too! He won! |
