Rennsport posters
What the hell?
I was there all 3 days and didn't pick one up because I didn't want to carry it around or wait in line for that matter. Figured I'd just buy one online later. Nope, they aren't selling anymore. In fact, they sold out the first day of the event. It's just paper! Print some more!!! |

You want to hear whining. Talk to some one about the unobtainium Rennsport t-shirts...
I go up there and I can't get a t-shirt and I can't get a raincheck for one.

Why would they not bother to make enough or re-issue more? Do they have a problem with profits?

I make it a point to hit the store as soon as I get there - selection / availability goes down very quickly at LS.

Got a poster the first day, then waited in line for two hours on Saturday for a shirt.
Glad I got both. The highlight of the weekend was getting Dr. Porsche to sign my press pass at the PRCC. ![]()

Wow, I didn't have any idea t shirts and posters were so limited. They aren't numbered are they? I just can figure out why Laguna Seca Retail would short themselves so deeply...posters alone must have been $100K in lost revenue, I mean Sat and Sun both had double the crowd of Friday, when they sold out.

I wouldn't stand in the line for two hours - and I was there for all three days.
Now I hear you can't get one online as well??? No wonder folks stayed in the line that long. For me there was waaay too much eye candy to waste time sitting in a line. I guess I have my photos as my momentos. ![]()

I picked up the poster a few months back. It's been offered on the LS web site for months.
As for the T-shirt, I picked one up at the little cloths store in the Porsche park. I was in and out in under 5 minutes on Sunday. Got a VIN number lookup right before that from right next door.
