Default Long Beach Grand Prix April 15-17

The latest car I helped build, the PINK BSR #423 will be displayed in the Porsche Owner's Club booth at the Long Beach Grand Prix this year. The car will be there April 15-17, as well as driver Regan Steedman. She will be celebrating her 22nd birthday in style! (I'll be there too, but not near as cute)

The booth is in the convention center, space #1311, close to the Indy Lights garage and Tamiya gaming display.

Please stop by and check out the car and Porsche Owner's Club! We are very happy to support our favorite driving organization. If you haven't been out with POC yet, come and see what you're missing.

Thanks Mike!
It was certainly a lot of work. Complete color change and a full tilt Spec Boxster build.

Glad it will at least make it to one car show!

That was a color change? I never would have guessed.

Didn't see that color in the Porsche catalog? Above Mary Kay pink, and just under Barbie Pink haha

It was repainted in factory style though. The chassis was completely stripped and everything got covered in pink except the primer gray underside and engine compartment. Those were repainted in the same primer gray, with pink fogging just like it rolled out of the factory.
We did actually paint and clearcoat the trunks in pink, so I guess a little more than factory...

So is this pink, or more like Rubystone from the 964 days?

Having seen it in person, it is a little like Rubystone in doors and is a slight purplish hue but it has so much metal flake and pearl that it changes into a completely different shade of OH MY GOD that is pink in the bright sun light. I kinda like it when it is in the shop (and I normally don't like pink) but out in the sun, it could only be a girls car.

Based on the cars in the background she's in good company, especially that midnight blue 996 over her shoulder....

Pink Power!!

Does POC (or PCA for that matter) offer any ticket packages or discounts this year? Will there be a Porsche corral again?

The car could win a concourse for restoration this car looks so good.

When delivered this car was cleaner than factory cars I have seen delivered.

AWESOME!

Very nice. Shifter is way high like a sequential shift. Is that allowed in BSR?
