water, lunch is locked down by Rancho Canada. A sore point we're going to address with the management. If I had my way, we'd bring in some taco trucks. PCA doesn't make any money on the food. Actually, thanks to the sponsors, we get to break even. It's expensive to rent that piece of property. btw, the $44.95 shirt cost a bit more than $10, but I know you know that Apparel doesn't have a huge mark up at this show. We weren't running this as a revenue generator (thus why there was no charge for admission and the entry fees were more than reasonable). Church keeps all the parking fees.
500 cars was what we could spend and Rancho Canada agreed to. Legends never reached that number. We were amazed and happy that we had some an incredible turnout on the first year. After some rest for the volunteer organizers, we will debrief and begin work on the punch list for improvements in 2015.
Thanks to all those who brought some really cool cars. It was a very fun day but went by too fast even though I showed up at 530AM and left at 7PM.

Manny, the event was awesome for the first year AND quite frankly, there was so much eye candy that my daughter and I didn't even notice that food or goodies were for sale!
Nice work!

My biggest complaint is how much money they are charging to just LOOK at the cars! The RM auction in particular...$40.00!!! Please, to go in to look see at cars and have the opportunity to buy memorabilia? PASS.

The day was great and, since I didn't come to eat, I didn't even mind the box lunch, but I would say the Porta-Potty capacity is in need of an expansion plan. One of the quartet of potties under the trees had to be abandoned and I am not sure can ever be recovered for future use.

yeah, bathrooms were vastly underestimated. They used the same as Legends last year. That gives you an idea of how many more people came this year. Going to have a lot more of those next year. Any other suggestions fire away.
I have to say it was cool having the different factions of Porsche clubs there. Everyone mixing pretty well.
I also loved the grass banking where the race cars were displayed...but I'm biased, I thought of it
Big shout out goes to Tom and Sandi Provasi who worked tirelessly for the past months making this happen. We were a little nervous breaking away from Legends, but felt strongly that there was enough support to have a concours to call our own. I think the results confirmed that.

It really was a great event. Bathrooms were really the big one on my list. You had plenty of cold German beer, probably adding to the problem.
Oh, and tell the CHP they don't need to screw up, I mean direct traffic. They were camped out at every intersection east and west, and I have trouble visualizing their benefit. Took me an hour to get as far a Baja Cantina after leaving at about 4:30. Poor old long hood in front of me smelled like he was burning up.

One suggestion would be to have signed areas for Rennlist and other internet fora or interest groups to meet up with maybe even name tags available for people to fill out.
I probably walked past a million people I would have liked to meet like Ed Hughes above or Nurburger below.

Another thing is Porsche specific vendors given the success of the first event I bet a lot more would pay to come and help with costs of event.

It was the car's first outing - I collected it from Crockett on Wednesday & drove it down for the events. I absolutely love the way it came together.
I'll start a thread on it ASAP.

I like the subtle mix of 911 2.5 ST, RS and S details with the clean bumper surfaces and the 8 & 9" Fuchs. A classic mix in a very different color.

I have to agree with what people are saying about the event. I thought it was awesome. I guess I didn't have to go the the bathroom or need anything to eat. I was too distracted!
It looked like parking for spectators may have been an issue? I got there pretty early, and the lot was packed when I left.
