In the Zone September 2023
Hello Zone 7
August is in the books.
The highlight for me was Werks Reunion Monterey. If you attended you know that yet again this is a high benchmark event, I did volunteer to help set up and knew the event was going to be BIG. I assure you the team removing the flags had their hands full because the team I was a part of really sunk those well. Day of the event I was thrilled to see so many Region / Zone members. Judging was very fun and what privilege to learn about the cars and their owners. How to pick a favorite? Well, I do really like the “Werks format judging” as it isn’t a traditional Concours as we know at a Region / Zone or National level. It is about, of course, preparing the car but also the story of the car and/or owner. The Corral was a show as well. Rows and rows of cars made for fabulous photos. Thank you to PCA and all the sponsors who made this event all come together. There are some great photos shared on the Zone 7 Facebook page.
August had me attending other Region and Zone events as well. Including the Golden Gate Region DE at Sonoma Raceway and the West Coast Series Club race, Diablo shut down Main St in Pleasanton for a concours. Made the rounds to multiple events during CarWeek in Monterey. PCA, Zone 7 and your Regions have so much to offer. I hope your memory book and calendar are full.
And coming up fast is perhaps the BIG one.
Rennsport Reunion 7 is September 28th – October 1st. Laguna Seca for tickets. Porsche corrals are SOLD OUT. If you swap / buy “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.
Well, I am off to Salinas to the Zone 7 2-day Autocross events held by Golden Gate region and Loma Prieta Region info on that series on the Zone 7 Website
Thank you and see you at an event soon.
Brian
