Day Tour to Porsche 356 FOG Concours Event
2019-02-23 08:00 | FL
In the Porsche world of street driven rear engine production cars there are three basic groups of progression. Many of the owners concur that although technology generally gets better in each generation, much is lost in the past. Some feel the 356 was the beginning and is the true classic Porsche, others feel the introduction of the 911 though 1998, the air cooled models, ended the true 911 Series. Many find that the liquid cooled 1999 on up versions are the most drivable and offer a new comfort and performance level.
Each year the Porsche 356 Florida Owners Group (FOG) has a “Gathering of the Faithful” event.
Two years ago, 35 Porsches got together and attended the FOG event. Those who went were left with two vivid impressions. The great road tour and beautiful 356`s we viewed.
Last year we did Tour 02 to Howie-in-the-Hills to view the 356 Florida Owners Group Concours Event “The Gathering of the Faithful” It was a display the of 356 models that are among the best in the country. Rarely do you see this many 356 cars together.
This year I have planned a tour to their Concours event in Historic Downtown Lakeland on Saturday February 23. The setting will be at the Amphitheater on Lake Mirror.
Details: We will meet at Fords Garage Restaurant in Wesley Chapel at 8:00 am, with a departure at 8:30. This is across from the Outlet Mall at I-75 and SR 56. We will take a leisurely and scenic (trailer parks to strawberry fields) tour to Lakeland. After the Concours there is shopping and lunch where everyone will be on their own.
Notes: approx travel time 1 ½ hours, 60 miles.
THIS IS NOT A PCA OR SUNCOAST REGION EVENT. THERE IS NO INSURANCE PROVIDED.

Tire Rack Street Survival
2019-02-23 09:00 - 16:30 | Sebring International Raceway, 113 Midway Drive, Sebring, FL, 33870, United States
Please note that Porsche Club of America (local host for this school) does not allow anyone under the age of 16 to participate. Drivers 16 years old and older who hold a valid learners permit or drivers license that have no restrictions during the hours the school takes place are eligible to participate. (i.e. If the participant is allowed to drive to and from the event without an adult required to be in the car with them)..
The primary emphasis of the Tire Rack Street Survival® is a “hands-on” driving experience in real-world situations! We use your own car to teach you about its handling limits and how you can control them. The students will become more observant of the traffic situation they find themselves in. They will learn to look far enough ahead to anticipate unwise actions of other drivers. As the students master the application of physics to drive their cars, they will make fewer unwise driving actions themselves. They will understand why they should always wear their own seatbelts, and why they should insist that their passengers wear seatbelts, too.
It’s about more than driving – it’s about LIVING!
Three parents, including Scott Goodyear, former Indy Car Champion, share their perspectives in this video.
All Schools $95.

Anyone who has ever participated in one of our region’s Autocross events will know how instrumental Mark has been to the success of that program. All proceeds for this event will go towards helping Mark with his ongoing expenses.
See attached lists. Many interesting cars and tools will be available. Cheap Bricklin, Shelby Dodges, Mustangs, Triumphs, Merkurs and more. There are also many car parts, especially Ford, Merkur and Triumph TR7.
When is the last time you saw a Studebaker Lark, or even a Dodge Omni? Come see garaged “barn finds” including Delorean, TR8, 1967 Fairlane and Avanti! Tell your car friends! Even better, bring a friend!
Most of the cars have not run in a long time and will need some work to get running again. Some will need a lot of work. Please plan to see them on sale day. We have a car trailer, so we might be able to negotiate delivery.
The 1998 Porsche Boxster is a special case. It is a good looking car, ready to go, running great and available now. The price has been dropped to just $5900. Where else is someone going to drive away in a Porsche for that kind of money?

Attention All G Body Porsche Owners (1974-1989)!!! Do you currently own or have you ever owned a Porsche 911 from 1974 thru 1989? These cars are sometimes called Impact Bumper or G Body 911’s. It includes Coupes, Convertibles, Turbos and Factory Wide Body cars of the era. If so, then here’s a little something that may interest you. Recently, there has been some interest being generated around the idea of having a social gathering where interested parties can get together and share information, stories, contacts and advice about this era of vehicles. Maybe you’ve wondered what a certain exhaust would sound like on your car, or how someone handled the rust in the lower corners of the windshield, etc… It’s an opportunity to compare notes and enjoy a nice evening with friends that share the love of these wonderful cars. So, if this sounds like you, then bring your car and let’s have some fun!
You’ll need to register online because we need to give the restaurant a count of how many cars and people we are expecting. We also want to make sure we have a place for you to park. The restaurant has great reviews and is “A modern take on classic American comfort fare, Grillsmith dishes out comfort food and drinks with a fiery passion for flavors crafted by fire.”
