    Daytona 24HRS

    Think that I have scored a corral pass for the Porsche area at the Speedway. Will any of you be there? Am looking for recommendations for a hotel. Taking the AutoTrain with my RS Clone on Wed. Thinking of the Best Western Abu Tiki hotel. If there are plans for meet ups, would like to hear when and where.

    My Inspiration

    '86 44 Turbo, black/red,7's and 8's fuchs, autothority - sold (rocketship)
    '97 Boxster, first delivered in DC Metro, silver/red -sold (huge mistake to buy this one)
    '99 C2, silver/black, RoW M030, limited lip, short shift - sold (good ride, but...)

    '69 912, 3.2 with all the trimmings
    (finally got air cooled)

    Daytona Heritage Exhibition

    I'll be there there will be a few guys from the Philly area. I have a car in the Daytona Heritage Exhibition and if you check out the http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...aytona-Replica thread I'm guessing you will find others who will also be there. I'm not aware of any plans to collect up the Early S contingent, but I'm sure it would be easy to make a time for us to meet up in the Heritage Display area if others are interested.

    I do not know Daytona Beach, but will throw a suggestion. Dinner at the Chart House on the Intercostal Waterway, 1100 Marina Point Dr. 32114. If someone has a better location, please suggest. I will stop around 7 on Thursday to see if there are any takers. Dinner, chat and figure the race weekend.

    Thanks Chuck.

    As fun as the race will be, the main goal is to raise Alzheimer's awareness. Hoping many in this community will donate to this worthwhile cause.

    Check out the link below. Commercial was shot last Saturday while we were testing at the Roar.

    http://www.beckseuropean.com/race-events/

    For all of you who are going to the event, please stop by the Fifty Plus Racing / Highway to Help paddock hospitality area for food and drinks.

    DavidRS - I will be in Daytona on Wednesday afternoon, Jan 23. (in a rental car)
    If you have scored a PCA Corral pass, that is the way to go. Never
    considered the car train, let me know how that goes. Usually, I hang out at the west end between the turn 1 tunnel and the PCA tent. See you there.

    Frank Beck - Thanks for your Alzheimer's charity effort. That is so important.
