to stay within IRS rules so that sponsorships don’t affect our non-profit status, where we should have our Concours d’Elegance this year and next year, and our relocation to a new autocross venue. We also talked about tech events, community service, socials, the After Holiday Party, new member par- ties, tours & rallies and certainly a few other things I may have dozed thru. My point here is that some of these folks travel over an hour each way to attend these meetings just to make PCACHS the fantastic and incredibly active organization that it is. All of the activities that we run may appear seamless to the members but I just witnessed first hand how much work really goes into them. So if you get a chance, thank a Board Member.

Casey Parkin - A shout out to Casey and Porsche of Silver Spring for hosting an amazing Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona party. This year they held it a Jailbreak Brewing Company and the food and beer were out- standing (as always). Definitely a must do for all us moochers out there at a first class event.

Cruising - And my final ramble, I love taking P BXSTR out on the weekends and just driving around After Holiday Party Diorama

on some of the back roads in Howard and Carroll counties. I would also love to do this occasionally with some other Columbia or Ellicott City folks if there is any interest in joining me. This absolutely is not a PCACHS sponsored event, it would just be a bunch of Porsche car enthusiasts enjoying a good drive together for an hour or so with no real destination. I have a couple of routes I like and would certainly join you on your favorite routes as well. If you are interested, then please drop me an email to my personal account at [email protected]. Perhaps we can get a small local group together who like to do this.

16 Chesapeake Region Porsche Museum Visit

Our Visit to the Porsche Museum - Zuffenhausen, , Germany on 28 Dec 2017

We rolled out of bed Thursday, 28 December 2017, walked downstairs to have a cup of fresh coffee and sud- denly thought to visit the Porsche Museum with such great weather (45 degrees) in Bavaria - at the time when Maryland was in an artic freeze. We jumped on Autobahn A3 to A81 heading south towards Stuttgart. Autobahn 81 is a fantastic stretch of road at limitless speed for the most part. We arrived without a speed- ing ticket at high noon and marveled at the gorgeous facility. The building itself is a beautiful and sophisticat- ed architectural design.

The Porsche Museum - a must encounter for Chesapeake members. To visit, the cost is 8 euros per adult and 4 euros for parking (which is underneath the Museum). As a member of the PCA, I whipped out my club card and received a 50% discount on the bill.

The detailed information of each car and seeing the evolution of various Porsche sports cars – both street and race machines was overwhelming at first, but by the time you reach the top deck and review the nut to bolt restoration of a built in 1964 – you wanted more. The self-guiding tour was a very informa- tive and takes about 2 hours.

In the Museum there were all sorts of Porsches of various ages, all of which are in absolutely pristine condi- tion as the photos show. There were also "sound silos" where one could hear the roaring engines of various Porsche cars as well as a Porsche Tractor.

The Museum has a nice gift shop with postcards and a variety of Porsche pens, clothes, luggage, posters, books and miniature cars. There is also a coffee shop in the lobby, a cafe and a nice restaurant.

22 Chesapeake Region Tech Event—Reflected Images

TECH Event at Reflected Images Detailing

WHAT: TECH Event at Reflected Images Detailing on professional versus over the counter coatings, demonstrating the proper steps necessary to maximize the results. WHEN: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10th WHERE: Reflected Images Detailing 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM 128 industry Lane Unit B The doors will open at 9:30 AM for coffee and donuts Forest Hill, MD 21050 Presentations will begin at 10:00 AM Lunch is served 12:00, Beer Tasting @ 2:00 Concludes at 3:00

REGISTRATION: Register via ClubRegistration.net or drop Jim Earlbeck, our Tech Chair, an email at jearl- [email protected] so that he knows who is coming and how many donuts to buy. Registration will also make you eligible for the $250 gift certificate raffle! Our first Tech Event of the year will happen at Reflected Images Detailing. This is not your average Tech event. We are starting this year off in strong form. Brian Daly, of Reflected Images, has realized that Porsche owners are amongst his favorite customers as our cars are not garage queens. We routinely drive our cars, race our cars and yet we still demand that they look their best. Brian has pulled together a fantastic Tech Event agenda. He will start with a brief introduction about himself and his business. He’ll quickly move into the “why”, “what” and “how” of professionally installed coatings and the differences between the over the counter and the professional products. Brian will convey the necessities of each step for the Porsche owner. A warning here- his process is not a ten minute tidy. His technique is a full wheels off, head lamps out sort of thing . No corners are cut in his pro- cess. Two cars will be used to show his tricks of the trade. Keep your fingers crossed, but hope- fully both cars will be the same color, same model Porsche. That way you will be able to see the before and after. Working on the “before” demo car he will demonstrate the machines, lighting, pads and chemicals used in each step. As the coating cures we will be offered a catered lunch provided by Reflected Images. With our bellies full and our heads swimming with answers to our questions that he will field over lunch, Brian will move back onto the car to finish the process. He will recap the entire process and dis- cuss the proper coating maintenance program. Did I say that Brian is fond of Porsche owners? He is arranging a small beer tasting to wrap things up in style and give us some more time to pick his brain. Not only will the Club be running its famous $250 gift certificate raffle to the attendees, but Brian has decided to sweeten the deal even more. Reflected Images and CQuartz coating will be giving away a special gift to each registered attendee! Brian has also arranged for a representative from the DuPont Registry to be present at this meeting. The DuPont Registry is interested in how we function as a club thru Tech and our other events. They will be posting social media of what occurs that day. So put on your best Club togs and made it to this event. It is go- ing to be big! Maybe too big, so register early as we are going to limit it to 60 people.

24 Chesapeake Region March Tech Event Our past is our future

March’s TECH Event is at Porsche of Towson discussing the new factory backed Classic Program and what it means to keeping your Classic Porsche running properly.

On March 24th 2018, Porsche Towson welcomes the Chesapeake Region PCA to join us for a tech session which will focus on the Porsche Classic program. We at Porsche Towson see this as a tremendous opportunity to serve our core client, the Porsche enthusiast, and have eagerly embraced this factory backed initiative. On- ly around 100 Porsche dealers worldwide will be awarded Classic Partner status. The Porsche Classic program is for cars discontinued from standard production at least 10 years ago. In other words, the 356, 914 and 911 up to and including Types 964, 993 and 996 / 986; as well as four and eight-cylinder Porsche sports cars such as the 924, 944, 968 and 928. Porsche has a commercial that summed the Classic Program up rather nicely. See- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgtdsmFuk_4

Some of the topics that we will discuss are the history of the program, the training involved, current Porsche offerings- which already includes around 52,000 Por- sche Classic Genuine Parts- and what it means to be a Porsche Classic partner. Priority 1 Auto Group has oth- er initiatives to encourage servicing of older models in a factory-backed facility, which we will also go in to de- tail on.

WHEN: SATURDAY, MARCH 24th 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM The doors open at 8:30 AM for coffee and do- nuts Presentations will begin at 9:00 AM Conclusion by 11:00 AM

NEW Trailer With the additional equipment needed to run our ever expanding events, it was time to trade in our 10’x6’ trailer for something a little more roomy. After some persuasive communicating to the board and generous contribution from our friends at Porsche of Annapolis we were on our way to having a new trailer. Getting a trailer is easy- trying to get rid of one for what you think it’s worth is hard. After several kickers, checked out the trailer and either wanted work put into the trailer, or offered a ridiculously low price, an ad appeared from a Before! Boy Scout troop that needed a trailer for their camping gear. After several dozen phone calls and emails, we had sealed the deal with the Boy Scout troop and they were ready to take the old trailer off our hands - but what about the new trailer? Due to delays at the factory our trailer was running

Pat Walker Return to Ripken (A.K.A. Rumble at Ripken) After an extended hiatus (approximately 7 years), autocross co-chair Ryan Golom reached out to Ripken Sta- dium management and was able to set up a contract for the use of their lot. This was, by far, our largest event ever. With close to 100 drivers with skills ranging from rookie to pro, a wide range of cars were on hand to test their mettle on our largest course the Chesapeake Region PCA has seen in some time. It appears man- agement of the stadium is changing hands again this year, but we will not let that stop us from getting anoth- er event out there for your driving enjoyment.

Pat Walker Coming in 2018

So with all of the accomplishments made in 2017, we’re going to be facing some challenges in the up- coming year. First off, we’ve enjoyed a really nice 8 year run at the current BWI lot, but as with all good things - they always come to an end. I was recently notified by BWI contracts that another entity was interested in leasing both of the lots at Matthison Way “in their entirety”. Further negotiation was useless because word on the street is that this is part of the Amazon expansion that we heard was going on at BWI. Yes - it’s a blow, but the Autocross team is actively working on securing property for our 2018 Season, and may have something positive to report soon. Stay tuned to the Region homepage at pcachs.org and our Facebook page for updates! The Chesapeake Region PCA Autocross team is deeply grateful to the BWI organization for their 8+ years of outstanding support providing us decent sized lots without asking for an arm and a leg.

Speaking of arms and legs, that’s what it takes to efficiently run an autocross program. I have been fortunate to have a great team to help out, but I am going to lose a very valuable mem- ber of the team soon. The other half of the Autocross chair, Ryan Golom, has announced that he is separating from the military and relocating out of the area. While he will be here for the first couple of events of the season, and has offered to help out with a sequel to “Rumble at Ripken”, he will be busy with his new life as a civvie. I announced at the After Holiday Party that we were looking for someone who wanted to take on the challenge of Autocross co- chair, and was pleasantly surprised that I had an immediate volunteer. Bradley Martinez, son of past Region President Gary Martinez, has stepped forward. Once the Board has approved his assignment to the position of Autocross Co-Chair, Brad will become an integral member of the Autocross team. Please take a moment to thank both Ryan and Brad for their dedication to supporting a program that brings enjoyment to so many people.

31 Chesapeake Region After Holiday Party Donna Brandt

The Chesapeake Region, PCA celebrated the beginning of a new year of events on January 13, 2018 with their famous After Holiday Party (AHP) and Awards dinner at Turf Valley Resort and Spa. This year’s event, as for the last 6 years, was once again managed by our past Secretary and National Concours Champion Donna Brandt. To allow more of our members to attend, Donna arranged to have the event this year in the Cameo Ballroom and Reception area which easily held the all-time record of 134 participants.

What a night! As everyone arrived they were greeted with a per- formance by an all-female barbershop quartet serenading them adjacent to the on-site registration. Thanks to Potomac Region PCA Member Lara Pierce for participating and arranging this. About 140 or so PCA Ches- apeake Regionaires, PCA National representatives, Porsche of Annapolis represent- atives and other Region 2 dignitaries gathered at Turf Valley for the After Holiday Party and Yankee Swap. This being your editor’s inauguration to the Yankee Swap, the proceedings created quite an impression!

Awards were presented, contributions were recognized and the crowd cheered as Aniano was crowned Enthusiast of The Year! A well deserved tribute to a member who has provided such a dedicated effort to our Tours and Rally’s, as well as being a pioneer in the use of the Porsche GTS App.

While Minta Miller and Arlene and Doug Ehmann adeptly handled the check-in, our members and guests enjoyed cock- tails and hors d’oeuvres during a very lively happy hour prior to entrance to the dining area. Minta also sold the 50/50 Charity Raffle Tickets with proceeds going to the chosen charity this year: For Pete’s Sake, a cancer respite charity. A special shout-out to Atena Bosak—winner of the 50/50. She kept $63 of the $563 and donated the other $500 back to the charity! Very classy move, and sets the standard for next year… :-)

Following dinner, Bob Gutjahr and Manny Alban carried on the tradition of being the MCs for our “Yankee Swap”, where their running commentary on the “gifts” donated by the attending members keeps everyone laughing.
