We "may" be able to squeeze ONE more room out of the hotel.
So PM now or forever...

Thanks to all on this forum for the tons of support and good vibes. The participants deserve so much credit for a turnout that has staggered everyone.

What follows is a plug and one that is truly deserved.

Porsche of Chattanooga found out about the event and went for the sponsored jugular! They're going all out with their support and most of all are providing support vehicles and staff (tech and product) for the duration of the event! On top of that, they are sponsoring pit stops and an evening tech session, and other surprises that are being worked on. Simply outstanding support from them!

I'll be frank, I'm proud that they are my dealer and that I'm not just another number!

What a great move by that dealer.. Talk ab earning their business and getting their name to spread virally!!

I have to say that I was never able to get a Ducati shop to sponsor one of our events... Maybe they operated on a shoe-string budget vs a Porsche dealer, but even with 60-70 attendees each year there were always excuses. Ohlins USA which is close to your event on the other hand are a good group of guys who helped out if you need other ideas. Great work Haku & Co, strong event for year 1.!!!

Alex, without blatantly pushing the point further about how wonderful they have been, I can vouch for the honorable way they treat their customers. Just a great family owned small dealership who cares about building long term relationships.

Thank you so much for your input as well Alex. I do wish you had your GT3-4 and could have joined us for the inaugural event. I expect you to be there for the next one!

Btw, I would have joined you on your Ducati event were it not for the deer that took me out a couple of years ago whilst riding my Bonneville. It let to me selling my Diavel, F800GS, and Royal Enfield Bullet. Yes the made in India version!

Update and bump.



The hotel has just informed us that there is one more room that has been allocated to our group.
All in all 38 rooms that have been booked confirmed. PM me if you want to join and we'll do our utmost to fit you and your GT3 in.

We've had a few requests from non-GT3 owners asking whether they can join. For this event we are keeping it closed to GT3's only.

Ouch, my humor continues to fall flat. It was a joke in reference to the fact that nothing lesser than a gt3 be allowed... Thought I could hook a fish with some Porsche unobtainanium presence but....


.... I'm going to go back to my corner now.
