Default Rennsport New Dates

All you guys that have a reservation for Rennsport pay attention. Porsche is in the process of changing the dates. Not sure what is up yet, a conflict or ?
FYI

Thanks, Ed. Did you find this info somewhere or was it word of mouth?

I got wind of it when a friend couldn't make an event reservation. They will not accept reservations for tickets or parking until further notice stating the dates are going to change.

As long as they don't try to screw with any of us who have already purchased tickets I don't care. I will find a way to be there regardless of the dates.....

Thanks, bigkraig. September 25-27 is fine by me; great way to end the summer.

Well, since we are returning to Houston on 9/23 from Germany and have already booked hotel and airline flights with points for the original dates, I am not very well pleased with this change. Looks like lots of time on the phone with the airline and the hotel to sort things out.

John, I'm sure it's a big hassle for some; hope you get it worked out. We're fortunate to be within driving distance and have a place to stay down there....

Thanks guys. I got a heads up from a former PCA Executive Council member who is presently at Daytona and heard about it. I posted the info bigkraig provided at some of the other forums here on Rennlist. I agree that it's a royal screw-up on the part of PCNA! Our R Gruppe Treffen was scheduled to coincide with Rennsport and all the hotel arrangements were recently made at the Hyatt Regency for our fall reunion, with folks coming from all parts of the US & Europe. Now who knows if we will be able to transfer the blocked rooms to the new dates!



Saludos,
Eduardo

A very major screwup by PCNA in my opinion. I could very well do without seeing 2 modern race cars on the original date. As it now stands I will not be able to attend the new dates and will have to start the process of getting refunds for tickets and house rental. Really unbelievable that they (PCA and PCNA) had 4 years to plan this and screwed it up this badly.
