I need everyone’s help….

I get several emails from Rennlisters looking for racecars and parts. It seems looking for a new racecar or a simple part can be an exhausting and expensive venture or simply a time waster. I have an idea, but I need your help.

I am going to compile a list of as many reputable Porsche shops as possible. I need you to let me know who you use for service, parts, race preparation or just advice.

I will contact that shop and ask a few questions. With this information I will put together an “e-book” that will highlight what the shop specializes in, what services they offer, do they offer parts (used and new), do they sell cars and racecars, where they are located, and contact information via email and telephone.

With this e-book, you can use it for a reference. For example, if you are looking for a GT3 Cup, you can go to the shops that service these cars and ask if they have any customer car that are for sale or going to be for sale. This book could help you find a shop when you are out of town or at the track. But it wouldn’t be limited to race or track cars. Have you ever needed a part and could find it? Think how easy it might be to email several shops at one time to try to find what you are looking for!

If you are familiar with the SEMA membership book, this will have a very similar format. I am going to try to categorize each shop by what they sell, i.e. racecars, proprietary parts, new car take offs, etc.

I thought this might help someone when they were looking for a Porsche Repair Shop in a particular area, or looking for that racecar or Porsche parts that is for sale.

The list, e-book, will be available “FREE” to all the Porsche enthusiasts, by simply sending me an email.

Best of all, it will be updated regularly, and you would be sent any updates via email.

This will take a lot of work to put together, but I think it will be a good resource for all of us, so anything you could help me with would be appreciated.

Please email me at Clubrcr@comcast.net with what shop you use and a contact name.

Thanks

This is awesome Jim. I hope that you get a ton of enthusiastic help and information. Maybe we can all post the shops we refer here, so that Jim is not getting a ton of duplicate information. Just list as the last lines of your post so we don't have to read the entire commentary to see who has been submitted.

Do you have any contact people, I think it's Chris @ Musante, Rick Deman @ Deman, and Don Jacobs of course, but who is the contact at Autombile Assciates and Farnbacher? Thanks for the tip on the Regional Pubs, I plan to go to everyone's website. Thanks

You will find it easier to keep all of this data in a database. I, and I dare say several others could help you with the data model, which is more work up front but will be a godsend in the longer term

I agree, I had started using my ACT database. I used that last year when I co-chaired our Roebling Race. It made it a lot easier. I am not as familar with setting up adobe acrobat files, but had planned on used that for sending out to anyone who wanted the list.

Jim,
Are you really going to call each one? Not trying to be an ***, but I know that at some of these shops time spent on the phone = loss in productivity and you might not get the warmest reception.
