In the Zone August 2023
Hello Zone 7
Anyone else been out and about? I sure hope so.
July, I visited multiple Regions and various events and as writing this, getting ready for the Zone 7 Mt. Hamilton Rally.
The Sierra Nevada Region held a Meet and Greet in Gardnerville. A tech quiz that had me digging deep into my grey matter. Beautiful location at the Carson Valley Country Club. The following day their Zone 7 Series Concours was held in Genoa Nevada was super fun. Yes, I was judged in a new to me (3 weeks) Boxster that I had been focusing on mechanical and service items, never actually doing deep detailed until the morning of the event. The judges had plenty to see. I do enjoy being a part of the events and now know what to clean.
Loma Prieta Region held their New Member picnic at Roaring Camp Railroad. BBQ, Bingo and even s’mores. Fun time had by all. So great to meet long time and new members.
Zone 7 series Concours this time with the Monterey Region’s Concours in Paradise … and it surely was. Beating the heat at home this time WAS indeed paradise. And with an actual detail on the newer to me Boxster, A first place trophy (a really cool piston / plaque trophy) was mine.
I do enjoy Social Media … that said some amount of caution is prudent when using it. On the Zone 7 Website I wrote a post that gives some insight on how to safely navigate this resource. Included are “Official” verified links to National, Zone 7 and all Zone 7 Region Websites and social media. Please be sure to use these when looking for information and connecting on social media.
Werks Reunion is just around the corner (links below) see you there!
Rennsport Reunion 7 is also fast approaching. This will be EPIC for sure. Rennsport Reunion 7, IN Zone 7, in 2023 that is a SEVEN year in numerology …. I am buying a lotto ticket or 7. Below are links to Laguna Seca for tickets. Porsche corrals are SOLD OUT. If you swap / buy or “find” a corral pass it needs to be for the MODEL Porsche car that you will have there.
A link to parade laps also below … you need to already have a Corral pass to purchase Parade laps. Each day will have morning parade laps; purchase for the day you want to participate.
Want to volunteer at Rennsport? That link is also below.
Thank you, and see you at an event soon.
