An excerpt from the latest E-newsletter for the PCA 968 register:

Car shows, Car shows, Car shows!!!

There is no shortage of events for you and your 968 in 2015. I have highlighted a few of them below.


2015 Porsche swap in Hershey PA – April 18th 2015
This is a regular event for the 968 crowd. Most of the 968ers stay at the Hilton garden Inn on Friday night. If there is enough interest the group sometimes meets for dinner at a pre-selected location. Then they head back to the Hilton for a few drinks and plenty of socializing. The swap starts early on Saturday April 19th. If you enter the concours show you get a little better parking. We usually have all the 968s together. I’m not sure if I will attend this year but I probably will. The link below has all the event details:

2015 Zone 1 Concours/Rally/BBQ - Woodcliff NJ – May 15, 16, 17, 2015
Okay, no more excuses. This year’s Zone 1 concours is located in the Northern NJ town of Woodcliff and promises to have all kinds of 968s in attendance. You see, some of the best 968s in the country are located in the great state of New Jersey and I’m hoping that many of them will be in attendance at this event. If there is enough confirmed attendance I will work to set up some kind of gathering for the 968ers on Friday night. Some detail on the event appears below along with a link. Let me know if you are interested:

Zone 1 – Concours & Rally Weekend
Hosted by the Northern New Jersey Region
May 15, 16 & 17 2015
Woodcliff Lake Hilton, Woodcliff Lake NJ
Mark your calendars, and please plan to joining us this coming May for what will surely be an exciting weekend of Porsches and good times among your fellow club members from Zone 1 near and far. The weekend will start with a “Welcome Reception” for our out-of-towners on Friday in the hotel lounge. Saturday we will hold the concours on the expansive and lush hotel lawn. The concours will have both judged and peoples’ choice categories. In the evening we will have a sumptuous dinner in one of the hotel’s award-winning dining rooms. Sunday will be Rally day. Using the same planned route, the rally masters will give you a choice of either a TSD (time-speed-distance) or “gimmick” style. You decide.

2015 Porsche Parade in French Lick IN – June 21-27, 2015
There is nothing like a Porsche Parade. I’ve attended three of them in the past and they are quite spectacular. Start with an amazing location, add in thousands of Porsches, and even more fans and the result is an event to remember. This year’s Parade promises to be right up there with the best of them largely due to the central location. We’ll see great Porsches from all four corners of the lower 48. I’m planning to attend for the beginning of the week. Let me know if you are thinking of going and we’ll be sure to get the 968ers together. You can follow along on the progress of this event using the link below. There was also a great article in the February issue of Panorama that outlines many details of the event:

2015 Concour on the Avenue in Carmel CA – August 11th, 2015
Here’s a California event for the 968ers on the west coast. I was contacted by long time PCAer and current 944 owner Jim Borowske who is working on an event to be held in conjunction with Monterey car week. He is working to add a new category of Porsches to this world class event which would include the 924/944/968/928 series and is looking for some show worthy examples of 968s. Details on the event can be found in the link below. It sounds like a great charity event and a great time for any car enthusiast. If you are interested please feel free to reach out to Jim directly at jim@fredd.info

Jeff,

I should be at the Zone 1 event and would definitely be up for getting together Friday night. I'm an hour away so it's hard not to be there!

I will have my 968 Cab in the Cars & Coffee event at the Amelia Island Concours(AIC) this Sat. Had it and my '85 928 in the event last year. I was a Class Host the next day for the actual AIC event and when the cars were leaving the field there were less people watching than when my 968 & 928 were leaving the day before. Was kinda neat to realize that & to experience having a car on the same field the famous Concours is held on. As you can see by the pics, the 968 got lots of attention.

Not a world renowned Concours, but it is held at a world renowned Porsche dealership; Here's last year at the Brumos Porsche Concours and Swap Meet. I got placed right at the entrance to the dealership, which allowed for some neat pics. I've had my 968 in the event the past 3 years, but have to miss this year as I will be at a DE event with my '85 928.

And for west coast people, there is always Rennsport Reunion V at Laguna Seca at the end of Sept.
I've not been to the prior events, but my understanding is that there are hundreds of Porsches of all ilk in attendance.

Hundreds might be an under estimation. I went to the last Rennsport and it was Porsches as far as the eye could see. Great event
