The Greystone wil have 3 Porsche Classes this year: RS, 911 and 356...They are celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the RS!! I know of 3 RS owners from this board who will be there, I heard 9-10 total. I entered my Targa, Lars W. entered his beige 911, Bob Smith will be bringing his freshly restored Targa. Bob may win 2 years in a row!! Last year his '71 S sunroof coupe took it home

BRM watches will be awarding a Best Porsche Award, to be awarded by some VIP...TBA


This REALLY is a First Class event, run by a GREAT organization...This is NOT like the PCA Concours that has been held there years past. The usual sponors are back!! Tiffany, Gooding, Lawry's, Stella Artois, and many more..
The Greystone Mansion is completely open to the Concours crowd..The views from the home are spectacular. Those people lived well..

All food and beverages, including Stella beer and the tequila bar are included in the ticket price. I believe Lawry's is again sponsoring lunch? All you can eat and drink..

The cars, ALL marques are competing..Several from the Petersen Museum. The food and drink, and location make the Value of the Greystone worth your while to come out and enjoy the day...

PS: Next year they are shooting for 60 Speedsters for the 60th Anniversary of the Speedster

This event gets better every year...

After the Saturday night reception, there was an extra treat..we walked over to the Garage of Bruce Meyer...He had his '73 RS entered. His collection is AMAZING. The First Cobra, the Testa Rossa, to the MB owned by Clark Gable, etc. etc.

The Garage is ALL that and more...I have to say that Bruce Meyer is just a REALLY great Car Guy. He invited basically the entire reception over. Said hello to everyone as we entered, and stood at the doorway to say Good Night to each of us as we left. A gracious host.
