I just got back an hour ago from a vacation in South Carolina.
Lots of backed up mail after a week, but I went straight for Pano & the Parade results. Of course, me being me, I went straight for the concours results. Total dissappointment! Not a single stock, or even mildly modified 914 tok its class - not one! What happened? Only 90 plus cars entered in the entire event & none of you west coast or midwest people made the show? Pat |

There was an ocean of silver 996, Boxters and Cayennes. It was sad - and boring.
Other than the historical section of *maybe* 20 cars, there were probably only 6 to 10 cars that held my interest. This will frustrate you - the most prominately displayed car as you entered the main field was a heavily heavily modified 356 - fenders cut and widened, the custom wheels were made by welding 16" 356 inners to chevy truck dually outer rims. It was one of the coolest Porsche hot rods I have ever seen - but staged as the first car on the first row as you enter a concour? It was pretty sad. I would love to know how the local and national organizers feel about how successful the show was. |

I hear you...and I remeber my 78 Aspen Parade, with all of the glorious racing machines of the previous era. But no hacked up Porsches. Well, maybe a914/6 or two. I also thought today that Pano only speaks to the class winners. Having placed a second, as well as horrible third, I realized that there may have been some "placers", which Pano no longer plauds. So, anyone in that mix? Pat |
