Assuming all remains as it currently scheduled, all I will have to do is jump in my '89 Targa (it's being delivered Sunday night) and drive down from Sunnyvale! I can't wait. Been to three out of the our - they are simply AWESOME events.

On the phone now, trying to change my reservations....

Thanks for the heads-up Matt. Let's hope they leave it alone now.

Damn! The change causes a conflict with the NASA/PRC event at Sears Point. Decisions, decisions......

Default Here is the "Party Line"

Do these clowns know how difficult it is to get a room, rent a house, this time of year in Monterey? Makes me wonder if they know what the "F" they are doing. I came close to committing on a shared house, glad I didn't. Fell sorry for those that did!

Subject: Rennsport Reunion V Update - Date Change
Date: January 23, 2015 14:04:25 PM PST

Hello Porsche Family and Friends:

As the subject of this e-mail states, we’ve taken the unpleasant but necessary step(s) to move the date for Rennsport Reunion V, resolving the conflict with the World Endurance Championship (WEC) race in Fuji.

The new date is two weeks earlier, September 25 – 27, 2015.

I assure you the decision was not made lightly. We understand many of our enthusiastic fans have already made their hotel reservations, travel and vacation plans based off the earlier date. However, the fact that our 919 Hybrid LMP1 and 911 RSR teams, along with the factory works drivers and engineers that go with them can now attend our greatest celebration was just too powerful to ignore.

As we checked for alternative availability, rumors began circulating, especially in the past week and we wanted you to hear it from us first. There will be an official press release distributed shortly after 6:00 pm, EST today.

As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. We are looking forward to seeing you all, more than ever, in Monterey in September!

Warm regards,

Dave

I am sure the folks at PAG are aware of the difficulties.

I urge folks to move quickly as room rates will likely go up several fold.

Not sure about home rentals-- they may go up as well.

A nice shared house on the beach in nearby Marina could be "just the ticket."

I think its group 7 and that's the PCA club group GT to GT3, and then group 8 was the smaller bore Porsche club racers. (like red and orange in a PCA or POC race I think...... but im going on how it was set up in 2011.
anyone know? I also know it filled up pretty fast last time.

Plenty of affordable hotel rooms if you don't mind Salinas.
