I'm sure we'll be there for a while. Clean your cars up! Bring your extra stuff to trade/sell?

Ok. Call everybody with 944's. I'll hit the local PCA forum as well.

 

Getting good response on the local San Diego PCA forum.
I have 2 free kart race passes to give out, plus some 944 type door prizes.

 

No 924's allowed?

 

sure

 

Yes, all water pumpers welcome.

 

Even 996s?

 

I'm not in charge. I'm just the catalyst. But I wouldn't turn away any Porsches. Come on down.

 

looks like i wont be able to come tomorrow...ive got alot of schoolwork and stuff to take care of.

ill try to come by in the afternoon though.

 

Well, that was a pretty cool gathering!
We had 11 944 types there. Thanks everybody for coming out and sharing your cars and your enthusiasm. It'll be even bigger next time we gather them up.
We had :
4 944's
2 944S2's
3 924S's
2 full race log-booked 944 spec cars! (one that was trailered in and one that was street legal and driven in!)
The 944 spec car that was driven in had signs posting it for sale.

Fidel Fernandez showed up in his VW because his 944 was down hard.
The crowd hung out in the parking lot just getting to know each other better than by just their Rennlist handles. We looked over each others cars and discussed mods made. There was more discussion generated over the tech pubs/history books that were on display.
A few door prizes donated by CRE, including air and oil filters and some kart racing passes, were given out by drawing colored poker chips out of a hat.

After that, we went inside to race the karts.
9 or 10 of us raced, including the 2 lucky race pass winners, while the rest of the crowd watched. There were some serious smiles all around after the race, especially the first timers to the kart track.
One of the best moments of the gathering was when we left the Miramar Speed Circuit as a group. It was great to see the line of 944 types. I know some members of the Leano clan were shooting video of the group underway. We got onto the freeway and headed home. It was clear that we were all looking forward to the next gathering of 944's.
BTW, if some of you guys can make it, there's a PCA autocross at Qualcomm stadium on the 26th of Jan. Many of us will be there! Please see www.pcasdr.org for the details.

 

todays gathering was awesome.
thanks Tim for being the "Catalyst" for this get together.
looking forward to the pca autoX on the 26.

 

BTW, that's my brother, "Fat Tony" from the east coast in the first picture. He helps my non-paying customers find their checkbooks pretty quickly.
LOL!

 

Ivan,
Hey, you're very welcome! I can't believe your family has 8 944's among them! Finally, someone who has more 944's than me!
But, that was only the first gathering at that place. We had 2 other small gatherings at an ice cream shop last Summer. The group is only going to get bigger and have better gatherings. Our networking is a positive, powerful thing.
944's unite!

 

hehe that was me filming our depature from mirimar. I have to say that was really fun. We should do that again soon. Oh yea thanks again for the porsche door prizes. IE: oil filter.
