Hello everyone! Great news about the event. We are now officially sponsored by Porsche Cars North America! WOOO HOOOO!

[mikeycfl]

That is awesome, keep us in the loop.

UPDATE: PCNA has promised to bring some of the cars they are showing at Rennsport Reunion to us. That should equate to some truly historic race cars that will be in the parade and on display, maybe even running the autocross!

[Apollo Kevin]

[4re308]

Thanks Kevin! We need as many Porsches present as we can get. See you there!

Anyone heading down from North of ATL Sat. morning? We were thinking of leaving about 7-7:30 Am from Roswell area.

[MBAtarga]

I signed up today. Live near Duluth/Suwanee. I'm interested in meeting up somewhere along the way.

[ASD]

I am leaving Roswell about 7:30, want to meet along I-75 somewhere about 8? I could get off at say 14th St in midtown and then get back on the same ramp further down.
If that time works.

[MBAtarga]

I'm interested in meeting up - 75/85 somewhere in town works just fine. I've sent an email out to a group of Atlanta Pelican and other Porsche car guys to see if any of them are interested as well. I referred them to this thread as well as the RennSouth forum post. We can firm up plans within the next two days or so.

Sounds good to me I will watch for the post here. A nice line of P- cars rolling down 75 would be a great way to start the day.

I'm sending you a PM with my cell number so you can give me a call please.

hey everyone, I sincerly appreciate everyone coming out for the event. It was a tremendous effort and while the event had some issues, it still went off and we still had a great time. This was a first time event, they always have some hiccups. Sorry to anyone who is upset with me and the event. I really tried to give the Porsche community something different to do. Thanks again for coming out!

[ASD]

We had a great time, any hiccups were no big deal to us. Hope it can happen again sometime. I do appreciate the work u put in.
I would bet the negative folks are in the minority.

I just got my Porsche two weeks ago and would have loved to go to this...definitely sign me up for the next one!
