Not to be Debbie Downer, but they're calling for rain/thunder on Saturday. 80% chance according to weather.com
If it does rain and/or thunderstorm, unfortunately I'm going to have to skip it this year.

Sorry guys. Was holding on the weather forecast to make my final decision. It looks like it would be a pretty moist drive for me. I'll try again next year. Thanks for working this Laker.

If it rains I will still drive up but I won't be in a hurry to get there by 9 AM. I will wait and see what the weather does.

I too can afford to wait until Friday night before making the call. As we are now below ten 964s, I am officially scrapping the 9 am ATM meetup/caravan. If I do end up going I will PM everyone with a suggestion for an early afternoon meetup time/place inside the gates. Murphy's law I figure but we've only had one or two days of rain this past month.

One of the best days we all look forward to and it seems we just keep getting wet ones. Last year it cleared up as far as rain.

It would still be fun to cruise into the show with a pack of 964's, even if there arent 10. We'll be at a B&B outside of Lancaster for the next few days so unless the forecast gets really bad, we're still planning to show up.

Noaa.gov for the most accurate forecasts.

Weather.com has dropped rain percentage to 30%, so it will be a game time decision for me.

looked at the weather, and all systems go.
CJB964 and I can swing by the Conshohocken McDonald's (I76 & 476) at 8:30am, if there is anyone coming from the Philly area, and are planning to arrive at the Hershey gates by 10:15

Rain should hold off until at least after 1pm.
If the rain gets going I'm gonna hop in my car LeMans style, put the roof up and head to Tröegs brewery for lunch.
At 2:30 I have to head back regardless, for family stuff. I don't know if these times work for anyone else, but it's the best I can do.

Great day for looking at cars and looking for rare P-parts.
I think the 964 were the most unrepresented type of all, aside from the Carrera GT.

Too bad the threat of rain scared most of the 964 owners....

964s were in short supply for sure, didn't see many 964 parts either, except for an $6k engine (seller had marked as 89-92 3.4 liter, so I had a word with him) a steering rack and an undrilled airbox cover. Ended up getting a 1:18 model of a C4 cab, red on cashmere with a black boot cover. (what are the chances?) and every 1989 Excellence for $1 It was a great vibe and fantastic classic 911s.

Oh, I did see an interesting for-sale-ad for a car not present....
