[Mahler9th]

Hello Stacy:

I have lived in the SF Bay Area for 20+ years, and been in the PCA years for 30+ years. I see two of my local Porsche friends have already responded.

I think you will have a complex situation trying to get your car smogged. Happy to introduce you to the area, and the local scene when the time comes. I have a very extensive local network which includes the best shops and other resources like dismantlers, body shops, detailers, racing shops and teams et cetera.

I started track driving back in 1987 or so, and started racing in around 1998. I have a smog exempt '75 that I occasionally drive on the street. It is primarily used for racing with a group I helped form in 2001 called the Porsche Racing Club.

I have a pretty good professional network too, so perhaps I can be helpful there.

Depending on logistics and availability, happy to take you on a Bay Area Porsche tour. Last time I did this for a Pelican participant I got to meet an ex-F1/now America's Cup technical professional-- very nice and accomplished young man.

Feel free to send me a PM.

Welcome in advance and happy holidays.
