”Evolution of Porsches” is coming Save the dates

By Steve Kidd, GCR Historian

As part of the recognition of GCR’s 60th anniversary, we will be offering our members a three-part historical/technical event series: The “Evolution of Porsches”. Here are the approved dates and a summary of what we are planning. Our Club Historian will serve as Chair and Moderator, while volunteers and our host facility will endeavour to make each half-day experience both enjoyable and educational. We hope to have a PCA National or PCNA official as a speaker/presenter at one or more of the events.

Event 1 * 2/25/2023

Tentative time 9:00 am-12:00 pm, with breaks in the middle and afterwards a Q&A, socializing, and tour of the new state-of-theart Zweck facility in South Miami. This first event will present the air-cooled era, covering Porsche models 356 through 993, and everything in between. We plan to have examples of cars from across this period and have the owners of the cars and experts talk about the series in general and the specific cars being presented. The plan is to go from car to car showing the “Evolution” and technical advances. Registration opens on ClubRegistration.net in early February. Limit of 75 participants.

Event 2 * 5/20/2023

At Hagerty Garage and Social in Delray Beach. Same time frame and structure as above and we expect to accommodate more members if the first one is as successful as we think it will be. This session will cover early water-cooled 911s, all trans-axle cars and early mid-engine water cooled car (boxster/caymans) probably up thru 991/981. Attendance plan is for 75 to 100 participants, with registration to open in early May on ClubRegistration.net.

Event

3 * 9/23/2023

This final event should be the biggest and will cover all four-door cars, all SUVs, all hybrids, all electric, and the newest and most exotic Porsche models. Look for examples of the Panamera, Macan, Cayenne, Taycan, and the latest in the sports car line up, with maybe a race car or two. We hope to have this event at a dealership or a surprise facility that can accommodate 150+ members.

Plan on the following:

Breakfast goodies

A registration fee of $20.00 per person per event to guarantee your spot

A swag item, such as a commemorative T-shirt or ???

Door prizes, fun, socializing and camaraderie

A possible afternoon session or open house if demand is high and all organizers/hosts are all in
