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 |

Yes It Was Sad!!But in many ways it was full-filling, but short..It took maybe a bit over 2 hours to 'buzz' the field of cars and then another hour to go back 'over' them again to recheck your faves.... I knew a fair amount of the older local PCA'ers and made a point to talk to them and go to a few tech sessions and the goodie store etc. and just relax up there..The setting was fantastic and the job the commitee did was outstanding.. I had a WONDERFULL NO >AWESOME chat with my concour hero Jon Paterek...That alone to me was worth the price of admission..!! OH and a great chat with our 914 PCA Guru Mr. Mayo...!! IF not for our Colorado owners entries the 'Field' of cars would have been cut by close to 20%..especially the special interest cars... most of the few 914's were hidden for auto x and the one orig Red '6' was in the 'Show ' area..so the 914's did not have much of a voice up there...... I guess most of us 'Teenerz' are workin stiffs, and a week of our time up there is a bit expen$ive and time consuming...add to that the economic situation.. there was some of our local guys DRIVE theirs up to the concour.. BUT>>> you know how at Parades you go to the parking lot at the concour and check out those cars??? NO GO..everyone had to take a bus in.... to the golf course...The Cali cars should have come up or even Ariz cars.. but no show.....(my 73 still needs paint to enter..and my 75 project is sucking up all my 914 reserves for $$$)...we had a few (very few) out of state 'Teenerz' show up..But the ones that did had fun!!Orthobiz being one... THIS IS> the last LOCAL event planned Parade..from now on National will run the entire show..... Porsche factory had a tent at the concour which was okay but not much for cars brought in.... All in all nice but skimpy ..STILL very well done and I would rather do a Parade than go to Disneyland anytime.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
