Default Who will be at RRVII?

Who all is going to RR VII?

My wife and I will be there early Friday morning and will be attending Saturday and likely Sunday as well.

We have a bunch of friends racing in the PCA group-- both of their races are Friday.

PAG/PCNA have apparently given a sub-group of them their own "tent."

After Friday's PCA race we will likely be hanging out there in the late afternoon.

The famous Finn and racing fan Pauli, owner of Fred's Place in Mountain View, CA, will likely be there making Manhattans.

Best medicine for Spec Boxster, Spec 911/911Cup racers after a hard fought battle.

If you have never been to Fred's Place, you should check it out. There is an F1 car wing hangin' on the wall.

It is on the famed Old Middlefield Road… BMW shop Dinan and Porsche racing teams/shops Rennwerks and Garretson Enterprises were in that same area back in the day.

RR VII will be a big one.

Perhaps that last one at LS for a while… perhaps the next one will be at the Speedway.

Free concert in the paddock Saturday night.

Ping me if you'd like to connect down there.

Happy to meet some Rennlisters.

Been doing this PCA and Porsche thing for over 52 years, with the same car, and this will be my first Rennsport reunion! People are surprised I haven’t made one yet. Looking forward to it. Will be there all four days and will get to lap on Sunday morning. It won’t be fast, but at least I can say I drove the corkscrew.

Will be parked in the 991 corral. Getting a little old to take the 914 without air-conditioning :-)

I’ll be there! My Dad and I are going to be taking it all in from Wednesday to Sunday, staying in a trackside RV spot in Rainey Curve.

My only other Rennsport Reunion was RRIII at Daytona. Really looking forward to this one!

I'll be there, a few other Rennsport Region Reprobates heading down too as I understand.

Love me some Reunion. Missed LRP I, but Daytona on have been great. Will look forward to a change of venue though, time to mix things up.

Cool.

I raced in the RR IV. Will never forget.

I have not been down to LS since last year before the remodeling and repaving, but reports are that the results are excellent.

Thanks to the folks involved including Mr. Canepa and Mr. Merrill. Both Porsche fans. Both fans of track driving and racing.

For those that may be in the area of Carmel, and interested in shopping, there is women's boutique downtown that is or was owned by Mrs. Merrill-- Pampelmousse.

I have not been there but I suspect it is a great biz.

I suspect that the entire area will be awash in PAG products.

Happy 75th!

We will all be under the tent! No other choice. No room for any of trailers in the paddock It’s the long skinny one right in the middle.

Looking forward to it! Sounds like it's going to be huge, many cool things to see over the weekend. RRVI was a lot of fun.
Will be paddocked near @519Kris since we are sharing race support along with another PCA buddy. Logistics in and out for cars/trailers and people in general sound a little crazy.
Thursday and Friday will be busy with our practice / qualy / race sessions. If you care to catch the PCA group racing, Friday at 2:30PM is your best option unless you plan to be there at 8:00AM sharp... Friday evening Manhattans 👍🏻
Will surely run into @Mahler9th and @smilin and who knows else there.
Come by and look for the #95 SPB.

I have attended all previous six starting with Lime Rock in 2001 and got to drive at RR6. We have five of us flying out from Florida attending all four days. I am going to pack and wear one of my original Porschelist t shirts the name before Rennlist, God I am getting old 😀

I was registered to race but canceled. Won’t be attending RRVII. Probably won’t be continuing to race PCA.

I'm planning to drive down Saturday to check things out. First time going with a general admission ticket -- where do you even park with that ticket?

The Doobie Brothers will play the Saturday night concert in the paddock at RR VII.

The first "rock" concert I ever attended was Doobie Brothers at Summerfest 1973.

I did not enjoy the crowd but the music was great.
