Went last year with Linderpat. I got my shark only two weeks before last years meet, but wasn't comfortable about taking it without doing a TB/WP job.
I plan to go this year..........

There's also a Porsche coral for P-car parking only...which results in several acres of beautiful P-cars all lined up..generally by model.

There's a people's choice car show and there's also a cars-for-sale area...where you will find your next Porsche!

What I was thinking was basically what Travis (from Rennbay) has done along with Rock and a few others for the last several years....some sort of bar night on friday night and then a dinner or banquet on saturday night.

Oh...and if you have not guessed...it's in Hershey, PA...in the parkinglot of the stadium next to the amusement park.

Not sure where in NJ you are...but I am off Rt 280 and it's about a 2hr 15min ride for me.


yeaa i assumed that from the beginning lol. do i have to be a PCA member to attend?? 2 hrs and 15 min sounds about right from where i am (jersey city) but take into consideration how fast or slow i am going lol so maybe 2 hours and 30 min is a better estimate thank you again for the insight, ill be under "maybe" for now.... car needs some work still

I am only about 15mins west of you....I generally head out on friday after lunch...you're more than welcome to follow me!

Nope...no PCA membership required...there's an admission fee...can't remember but it might be $5 or so...

Get movin on the repairs so you can join in the fun...and make a list of the stuff you need....early bird (and sometimes the last bird to leave) gets the worm!

If we have enough interest then maybe between you, me and Travis (as well as anyone else who might want to help) we can put something together.

I will likely have my whole family with me this time....wife and both kids.

If I make it to Hershey '09, I leavin the wife and kids behind, I was planning on Hershey '08 (the 25th is my B Day) but on the 4th I blew up my clutch on 95 and on the 25th was laying under the car pulling everything apart.... Timing on the water pump failing this year is much better and I should have plenty of time to get her fixed right up to make it in April....LOL....

Plus I got new rims for her to show off (bought them the weekend before the WP went south for the winter)....DOH
