'Fifty Years of 911' . . .
Got this notice in my e-mail, this AM . . .
This year’s Zone 8 California Festival of Speed will feature a display of ‘Fifty Years of 911’ on Saturday, April 6th at the Autoclub Speedway in Fontana. Display hours will be from 9 until 4. Display participants will get free admission to the Festival, a commemorative T-shirt and free parking at the edge of the racers’ paddock, virtually in the shadow of the grandstands.
We would love to have a car represented from each year of 911 production. Cars with a unique history, distinctive options or that are limited editions are especially desirable. Displayed cars may also enter in the Zone 8 Concours happening that same day; and are eligible for the special ‘50 years of 911’ people’s choice award.
If you have a 911 that you would like to display in this fantastic event, please contact Bruce Herrington at: BHerrington@telis.org
Please include the car year, body style, color and any unique or special attributes about the car. It also wouldn’t hurt to include a picture.
Additionally, Bruce will also need to know your name, email address and cell phone number, so don’t forget those . . .
So --- I wrote in . . .
Hello, Bruce . . .

Well . . . I've got a '70 --- if you don't already have one
911S coupe, green/black, std int, elec windows, LSD, all stock except for seat (early '70s vintage Scheel --- FG + wood) + steering wheel. 5 owners, Euro import . . . repainted but not restored --- tidy driver
Lemme know?
Thank you, Sir

We'll see if I can get a free tee . . . but I think we're goin', regardless
Wonder if they take pets?
Your '1970' Representative . . .
Just got this . . .
. . . Dear Porsche Enthusiast
Congratulations, your car has been selected for inclusion in the 50 Years of 911 display on Saturday, April 6th, at the Zone8 Festival of Speed, at the Autoclub Speedway in Fontana.
Don’t get too smug, because the selections were based largely on how to mix body-styles and colors; some were even selected by coin toss. That being said, all the cars were great, and it was a real chore to make selections for years with as many as six applicants.
Official display hours are 9-5, on Saturday only. If anyone feels they have to leave early, let me know now and I may be able to get a replacement. You will be given free admission and free parking for the Festival. You will not be required to stay with your car, but if you wish to, bring a chair, and maybe even a sun shade. Ear plugs would not be out of place, because the display area is adjacent to the racer garages and the track entrance. The food concession, Vendor Booths and the Zone8 Concours will all be close by.
From here on out, I will be contacting you individually for details about your car from which I will make Data Sheets explaining how wonderful your car is, and how it fits into the evolution of the 911 design.
I would like to have some volunteers – on the day of the display I also have commitments with the Concours. I would like some assistance with directing the cars to their places, and basic ‘checking-in’ of the exhibitors, as well as placement of the Data Sheets that will go with each car.
Any questions, send me an e-mail.
Thanks for your enthusiastic participation!

Woo-HOO!
Actually . . . pushed pretty hard for this. :o Even went so far as to drop a dime about the 'dealer 100 = factory use' business :o:o
And not just 'cause I'm cheap --- though do really like free stuff
I keep hoping that, some day --- at some swap-meet/cruise night/car show/Porsche-type thingy some where . . . some Ole Guy's gonna come strolling on up, look at the car + me 'funny,' stick out his hand, then say . . .
. . . Hiya. I'm Donald Anderson --- and I used to have a car just like that

This is a Pretty Big Show, so . . .
. . . here's hoping
Still Looking for '67 and '68 . . .
Got this note, yesterday . . .
. . . Put your 911 in the 50 Year Display!
We still need a few year’s worth of 911s to complete this historic display: 1967, 1968 and 1994
Somebody has these cars! Let’s find them and get them into this display. Contact Bruce Herrington: bherrington@telis.org . . .
Not sure how many people are going to this --- Fontana's no Pebble Beach. On the other hand, there are a sh!t-load of Porsches in SoCal and notta lotta places to take 'em that time o' year, so . . . .
I'm jazzed about the swap-meet :p;):D
We'll see
