JULY BOXSTER REGISTER NOTES BOB PURGASON When this article is published on-line, we will be into the summer months of great Boxster weather and the region membership will be enjoying many of the activities that come with summer. Our Chesapeake Region calendar offers some of everything - autocross, touring, tech, social, and the upcoming 40th edition of the Chesapeake Challenge. I certainly hope all Boxster owners are joining me by putting those tops down and getting the cars out for all the fun they can provide. The really good news for our Boxster owners is that we will be having our own event tied in with the Chesapeake Challenge 40 (CC40) event. When I had a recent discussion with the Chesapeake Board about bringing a Boxster event in for next year, the comment was “Why don’t we do it this year?” It was an easy question to answer, “Yes let’s give it a try”. So the wheels are now in motion (no pun intended), and I anticipate we will have terrific support from our Boxster owner/members from the Chesapeake Region, with as many other close by regions as we can draw from, to make this a well attended first event. Our plan is to have a Friday “after work” gathering of Boxster owners, with a speaker TBD, a group dinner, and some time to just kick tires and talk about our cars. On Saturday September 26th, we’ll all join in with and enjoy the spirit, friendship (and competition) of the CC40 headquartered around Frederick, Maryland. So please, Boxster owners, mark Friday evening September 25th on your calendar of “mustdo” events – with a follow up date of Saturday September 26th for the CC40. I am personally looking forward to the Zone 2 Rumble At The Oak Tree PCA Club Race (VIR – June 26-28), which I will be attending as a Volunteer Worker. A report of my experiences will be in the next Boxster Register Notes. It appears at this time that we will have one of the new “Boxster Spec Race cars” in attendance at VIR, so that will be very exciting and interesting. That will surely be a focus of my attention while I’m there. Hopefully I will have more information about the new BSR class, and pictures as well, to pass along. In late July, Joanie and I will be traveling over to Oxford, Ohio for the “Porsches2Oxford” event as mentioned before. I certainly hope I will see some Chesapeake members going along as well. It looks to be a very well attended event, with some 500 Porsches expected this year (that’s a bunch). The town of Oxford seems to be very appreciative of having all those Porsches and the Porsche people invading their town, so look for more on this in an upcoming report. Don’t forget, when you read this in early to mid July, there is likely still time for anyone to join in firsthand for the “P2O” experience; the date is Saturday July 25th. Let me know if anyone has any questions I can answer. Please continue to enjoy those Boxsters at our Region events. If you haven’t joined the Boxster Register, we’d love to have you do so. A simple email or phone call is all I need to send you the information you need to join. No additional fee is involved, so how could you go wrong? And, we’ll all be together on Friday September 25th for the Boxster Bash, just before the CC40.
