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 |

I can attest that Scott's BBQ skills are better than he says. My buddy John and I had an awesome time.
Amazes me to think that I could have driven my car, entered it and won first place! You're right Pat, there were "no" 914's there essentially... Paul |

But that's just me. Every show I've ever entered, I intended to win the top spot. Sometimes it happens, most not. Point is,I've whipped Ferraris & just about everything else in multi-marque events. Why, because they are smug & expect a win for just showing up. But when it comes to the Parade, there are very few smug entrants. They are serious, prepared & to be taken cautiously. In rare circumstances, you will get bumped into another class. But, if you're prepared to whip the snot out of anyone, you can hold your own. Just sorry to see that no one stepped up to the plate this year, that's all. All it would have taken was 3 of you, and I know of many that I wouldn't take lightly, to go for it. Think several of you really missed the boat here. Pat |
