Fellow 928 Rennlisters-
Just under 2 years ago, we had a gathering of 928's at the Kansas City Automotive Museum. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing, but we still had I think 12 cars there. Last year, I begged the PCA to create a 928 class for the annual All German Car Show, but they didn't do it. The 928's were lumped in with the 944's and some other cars. I bugged them all year and it paid off: this year, they created a new class for just 928's and 968's. So, I'd really like to see a good turnout of Sharks to prove to them that we deserve to have our own class. It is a Show & Shine, not a concours event, so the crowd will be voting for their favorites rather than having technical judging.

Here is info on the show, PM me if you need more info, would love to have people from the surrounding regions drive in to participate, and you do NOT need to be a PCA member to participate:

The annual KC All German Car Show will be held on Sunday, October 2nd, 2016 at the Hobby Lobby parking lot in Rosanna Square Shopping Ctr. at the corner of 119th St. and Metcalf Ave. This is a joint show hosted by the Mercedes Benz club and includes all German car clubs. The show will run from 9AM to 2PM. (The Chiefs play a Sunday night game at 730PM).
Again this year the BMW club will put all the clubs against each other to see which club has the most cars entered for the event. The trophy known as “The Traveling Pig” will be given out to the winning club. We lost that trophy last year to the BMW club by 2 cars. This year we need to take back the “PIG”!!! We have added a class for 928s, 991s and Caymans this year.
There will be 12 trophies this year in the following classes:
Rear Engine: 5 classes – 356 – 911/912 – 964/993 – 996 /997 – 991
Mid Engine: 3 classes – 914/986 – 987/981 – Cayman
Front Engine: 3 classes – 924/944 – 968/928 – Panamera/Cayenne/Macan
Plus a Best in Show
This is a “shine and show” competition with each Porsche entry receiving a ballot to vote in all classes. Trophies will be awarded on most votes in each class.
This year you will be able to pre-register your Porsche online prior to the show. We would like to get as many entries registered online as possible. This will help the car show run much smoother for everyone.
To be able to make out the entry card for your car we will need 4 items:
1.Your name
2. Year of your car
3. Exact model
4. Color of car (actual color name if know)
If you have any special notes for your car; add them also.
The entry fee is $20.00 and can be paid for through PayPal below or you can pay at the event
All clubs will start placing cars @ 8:30AM. Cars will be placed by class, so look for your class before parking your car. There will be club members there to direct you on where to park your car. Voting will start at 10AM, so get your Porsche there as early as you can.
We need to get as many cars in each class as possible especially models 914, Cayenne, Panamera and Macan.

Sounds like a nice event. I would like to attend, but can't. For some reason I said I would run a marathon that day.... sounded good at the time, lol.

I am not sure I can even make the one here! I was hoping to just show up (if I get back in time), but the organizer wants people to send in their entry through the mail.

Sounds like a deal!

Well, beautiful day and a great show. We had over 75 P-cars entered in the show, plus a bunch more came as visitors. Defeated the BMW, Mercedes and Audi clubs for most entries. We ended up with 4 Sharks. I was expecting 2 more that were no-shows, and had hoped to drum up a couple of more. Here's a pic of the 928 field with my car being at the front. Too bad it didn't finish in front in the voting. But still, a great way to spend the morning!

Glad some other 928 folks turned out for the event. Car looks great.

Thanks Brian! I actually bought my car a couple of years ago up somewhere near you - Elkhart, Indiana. When we picked it up, we took a quick trip to the Studebaker Museum in South Bend and headed into Michigan to the Gilmore Car Museum. I got my first ticket in it in a speed trap in Richland, Michigan.
