Call 911, the Porsche show comes to Lincoln City

Car shows can feature a wide range of makers and models or cater to the true fan, as is the case for the Porsche show happening at the Lincoln City Cultural Center this Saturday, Aug. 17.

The show will also have a raffle and silent auction, with proceeds benefiting the center. Live music will be provided by the local band No Big Deal. Pioneer Coffee and other vendors will be on site.

The event, returning to the Central Oregon Coast for the first time in several years, is being organized by the Cascade Region of the Porsche Club of America, which includes both the south and central chapters. Besides Porsches from the Medford and Eugene areas, as a PCA-sanctioned event, it is open to both club and non-club members.

And since Porsche owners don’t have to be members to participate, the Lincoln City gathering is likely to attract drivers from throughout Oregon, other parts of the Pacific Northwest, Idaho, Utah, California and beyond – even Canada.

This isn’t a concours-level event. Considered a Show & Shine, it’s a chance for people to simply display their Porsches. There will, however, be judging of the vehicles based on various categories depending on the make being shown, from 911 GT2 RS and 911 Carrera to SUVs and classics.

Porsches come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and most, if not all, get personalized in some way with graphics, specialty wheels, unique paint schemes, lowered suspension, state-of-art audio equipment and much more.

Vehicle registration is from 9 to 11 am and the show is from 11 am to 2 pm. Registration is $35 per vehicle. For more information or to register, email greg2rs@yahoo.com.
