    HEY GUYS!! Amazing news: The Mille is now sponsored by Porsche Cars North America. They are going to bring out a lot of "historically" significant cars to the Mille event. They are also going to have all the 2012 Porsches there for test drives. Its going to be one hell of an event.

    Hi all just wanted to bump this. We are getting an amazing response, lots of people signed up already, lots of amazing sponsors on board for this event. Please help me pass the word out about The Mille 2011. Its a smaller, grassroots version of Rennsport for the east coast. So far I've got about a dozen confirmed PCA regions around the country who are sending a caravan of cars for the event. The sponsors are really stepping up to make this an amazing event. Special thanks to Porsche Cars North America and Automotivation Body Shop (http://www.autobodymd.net) for their help in making this a great time. Kirk at Automotivations does concours paint jobs for Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, Audi , Mercedes. They are painting my super rare 88 944 Turbo S for display at the show.

    I'm not sure if I'm going to be in the US or not in early November. If I am, I'll definitely be trying to get my dad (and his 993) along to the event. :D

    What's the closing date for registration? I am aware any ticket sales are final once we're into September. :)

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Hey thanks guys, its been a wild ride planning this and working closely with so many companies. Its going to be an outrageous event that is for sure.

    Andrew, I will close the online registration about 2 weeks prior to the event around Oct. 17th. You have plenty of time. I do hope you can make it. The GADOT has allowed me to put race cars on the street in the parade, that should be a sight to see!

    UPDATE!! I just confirmed with a large collector that we will have some extraordinary Porsches at the Mille. He is bringing a Carrera GT, 935, 962, 356 Carrera GT, 997 TT with 850hp and the Jagermeister sponsored 944 Turbo from the Cup Series in 86-87. I'm SOOO excited and cannot wait to see and hear them on the track! Thanks for everyone's support!

    I have to say that speaks volumes for that car's aerodynamics. You can stick power in most anything but at those speeds every little thing counts!
    Certainly excited about the event coming up, I wouldn't miss it for anything.
