PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE BY ANDREW TOTH<br />

T<br />

he recent passing of my brother and the ensuing<br />

trip home from Phoenix gave me a lot of<br />

time to think about what we do with our time<br />

on this planet. While my brother and I were as different<br />

as a 914 and a 928, we shared the love of cars<br />

and driving them hard. Like me, he was active in car<br />

clubs, and always had time to talk cars.<br />

While car clubs center around cars, they provide us so much more than<br />

just a chance to look at exquisite hardware. They help us to experience<br />

life in a unique way and build friendships through those experiences. "It's<br />

not just the cars, it's the people" perfectly expresses the value of <strong>PCA</strong> and<br />

other clubs like it.<br />

I lived CC40 through email messages of Bob Gutjahr and Steve Kinsley.<br />

Cheryl Taylor brought it all home with excellent pictures that captured the<br />

essence of the day. Those pictures should be available on the web site by<br />

the time you read this. But if you missed Challenge, the fun doesn't stop<br />

there...there's more.<br />

We have three more tours before the year is over: the Friendly Farms Fall<br />

Foliage Tour, the Blackwater Refuge Tour, and the lights of Antietam<br />

Tour. Each one is sure to be memorable. We also have two more autocross<br />

events - one each at the Dorsey MARC lot and the Police Academy<br />

Training Facility.<br />

Each of these events are brought to you by the hard work of volunteers.<br />

To keep them going, and to keep improving our offering to you, the members,<br />

we need people to continue to volunteer. So if you have a few hours<br />

to spare - it doesn't take many - I suggest you talk to the chair of an<br />

event you enjoy. Ask if there is some way to help, regardless of how few<br />

hours you may have offer. I'm sure your help would be welcomed. If you<br />

can support the club with a little more time, consider filling one of the<br />

open board positions, like Publicity, Sponsorship, or Treasurer.<br />

Hope to see you at an event soon.<br />

EDITOR’S CORNER BY JAN BORCHARDT<br />

Doing the PATTER every month has become much more of a<br />

Challenge than I expected when I took it on. Speaking of<br />

Challenge, if you did not attend the 40th in Frederick, you<br />

missed a great day in spite of the rain. Pictures and stories<br />

from the event fill most of the pages of this months Patter. Everyone had<br />

a great time looking at the cars and talking and shopping. Some people I<br />

know are even going back for MORE shopping.<br />

Back to reality. The time needed to prepare the Patter every month<br />

has been preempted by getting my work situation into shape. Tele-<br />

commuting takes a lot more time than I imagined, even though I<br />

had previously been connected via T1 to servers in another state. I<br />

remember when we all thought computers were fast. Now we ex-<br />

pect them to do much more and complain when they seem slow.<br />

Besides all the time for work, we have a future garage queen in the<br />

works; restoration is progressing on our ‘63 356SC Sunroof<br />

coupe— slowly, but surely.<br />

Thanks for listening—See you at an upcoming event, I hope!<br />

OCT 25TH ▪ FALL FOLIAGE FRIENDLY FARMS TOUR<br />

EVERYONE is invited to join us for the FALL FOLIAGE FRIENDLY FARMS (NEW<br />

ROUTE) drive & dine in Upperco MD. Sunday <strong>October</strong> 25th. The first drive to<br />

Friendly Farms was led by Stuart Fine, I believe in 2003, and The <strong>Chesapeake</strong><br />

<strong>Region</strong> has continued with this popular location. This year a new route is charted<br />

to make everything new and interesting for those that joined us for the previous<br />

colorful drives. Located off Mt Carmel Rd. not far from Rt. 83, they have an as-<br />

sorted variety of selections and desserts. We will meet at the Grauls supermarket<br />

parking lot on Mt Carmel Rd just east of RT 83 at 9:30am and leave sharp at<br />

10:00am. The restaurant will open at 11:15am, 45min earlier than usual to get<br />

us checked in and seated. Check the web site http//friendlyfarm.net/ for selec-<br />

tions, you won't be disappointed. Please e-mail Allen Gunzelman Tourmeister to<br />

give us a head count at: Tours@pcachs.org<br />

NOV 8TH BLACKWATER REFUGE TOUR<br />

Members and guests! Sign up for the spectacular<br />

fall drive thru Maryland's own nationally acclaimed<br />

BLACKWATER NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE on<br />

the beautiful Eastern Shore of Maryland<br />

(www.friendsofblackwater.org/) and dine after-<br />

wards at the HYATT Resort in Cambridge MD.<br />

Robert Vigorito, who organized this tour 4 years<br />

ago is promising the same wonderful experience. On Sunday, November 8th,<br />

<strong>Porsche</strong> families will gather at the Hyatt Resort in Cambridge, Md, at 9:30am and<br />

leave for the Refuge at 10am. The migration of birds and other wildlife will pre-<br />

sent great photo opportunities worthy of framing. We will end back at the Hyatt<br />

Resort around 12:30pm, for lunch and conversation about beautiful sightings that<br />

make memories. For those so inclined, Maryland's Eastern Shore offers great<br />

sightseeing at the Refuge and many quaint waterfront towns like Oxford, St<br />

Michaels & Cambridge for exploration after the lunch. Please let the Tourmeister<br />

know ASAP if you plan to attend, and the car you will be driving.<br />

UPCOMING EVENTS<br />

DEC 5TH ▪ TOYS FOR TOTS LITERACY DRIVE<br />

The beauty of the Toys for Tots Literacy Program is that each dollar donated pur-<br />

chases a book for a needy boy or girl, inspiring them to learn through reading.<br />

“When we worked with the Toys for Tots organization to create this year-round<br />

effort, our hope was not only to put books into the hands of our most economi-<br />

cally disadvantaged children, but also to raise awareness of a significant issue<br />

facing our nation, an issue that has become even more critical in these economic<br />

times,” said Stuart Mathis, president of Mail Boxes Etc., Inc., which franchises<br />

The UPS Store and Mail Boxes Etc. brands.<br />

Our second Annual TOYS FOR TOTS LITERACY DRIVE has now been routed for<br />

December 5th. Cars will gather at 9:30am near the BelAir Md Starbucks (620<br />

Market Place Dr) adjacent to Barnes & Noble and Einsteins Bagels. The<br />

shopping center is at Rt 1 & Rt 24. We will leave at 10am for a scenic<br />

drive ending at Honeygo Village Center where donations to the Toys for<br />

Tots Literacy Program can be made at THE UPS STORE. Receipts will ac-<br />

knowledge monetary donations. Then lunch/happy hour at Libratore's<br />

resturant. <strong>Porsche</strong> friendly parking will be provided. New, Unwrapped<br />

Toys will also be accepted.<br />

EVENING OF DEC 5TH ▪ ANTIETAM ILLUMINATION<br />

On Saturday evening December 5, <strong>2009</strong>, Antietam National Battlefield will<br />

host the Annual Antietam National Battlefield Memorial Illumination in<br />

honor of the 23,000 soldiers who fell during the Battle of Antietam- the<br />

single bloodiest day in the Civil War. This is one of the most unusual and<br />

moving traditions during the holiday season in our area. The 23,000 illu-<br />

minaries- one for each soldier- line the battlefield in rows and are a<br />

PORSCHE PATTER ▪ OCTOBER <strong>2009</strong> ▪ Page 11


poignant reminder of the sacrifice of these brave soldiers who died on<br />

September 17th, 1862. The driving tour through the park is approxi-<br />

mately 5 miles long, and the spectacle of the luminaries is an experience<br />

you will never forget. See information at this link: [http://www.nps.gov/<br />

anti/planyourvisit/luminary.htm]<br />

UPCOMING EVENTS<br />

Although the Memorial Illumination is a tribute to our history, it is also a<br />

tremendous venue for a <strong>Porsche</strong> <strong>Club</strong> of America tour. Our plan is to dine<br />

and drive, providing attendees a memorable holiday dining experience at<br />

one of area’s nicer restaurants and then touring the park in the later eve-<br />

ning after the lines dissipate. We have selected the highly rated Comus<br />

Inn at Sugarloaf Mountain [http://www.thecomusinn.com/] in Montgom-<br />

ery County for its ambience and proximity to the battlefield. Check it out<br />

at: We’ll meet at the Inn at 7:00 PM on 5 December, and then leave the<br />

restaurant parking lot at 9:00 PM for the hour’s drive to the battlefield at<br />

Sharpsburg. We will probably have to wait in line for 30 minutes or so to<br />

enter the park. While we wind our way through the park, vehicles are to<br />

use parking lights only, to the extent technology permits. If all goes well,<br />

we should be done by 11:00 PM. Event brochures will be distributed at<br />

the event entrance and contributions will also be accepted by the Park.<br />

There will be more information forthcoming on this event as details un-<br />

fold. Please note that while we encourage <strong>Porsche</strong>s at this event, all ve-<br />

hicles are welcome to accommodate families and friends who want to ex-<br />

perience the lights. If you do not want to join us for dinner at the Inn,<br />

please meet us at the parking lot at 9:00 PM for the tour. RSVPs for din-<br />

ner at the Inn and/or just the tour is mandatory.<br />

We must provide the Inn with a headcount by 1 December, so please<br />

RSVP to Bob at silber_pfeile@yahoo.com by that date."<br />

OCTOBER EVENTS<br />

S E PTE M B E R 2 6 TH ▪ CC40 – ON THE BRICKS<br />

by Joanie and Bob Purgason<br />

If you didn’t believe that <strong>Porsche</strong>s came<br />

in all shapes, sizes and colors, then you<br />

should have attended the 40 th Special<br />

Edition of the <strong>Chesapeake</strong> Challenge on<br />

the bricks. This year’s event was<br />

chaired by Ellen Beck and Bob Gutjahr,<br />

and was held in the Historic Frederick Everedy Square and Shab Row.<br />

The date was September 26, <strong>2009</strong>, and all that can be said is that it was<br />

a perfectly planned and executed event, and who would have expected<br />

less from these two experienced chair people. Colorful it was, historic it<br />

was, enjoyed by all who attended, it was. The only minor downside was<br />

something no one can control, the weather. At least the really bad part<br />

did hold off until the Concours judging was finished. Even though the<br />

Gimmick Rally was run in less than desirable conditions, it was still enjoyed<br />

by all who selected that from their menu of activities. These included<br />

the morning Concours/Car Show, the afternoon Rally, an early<br />

evening Tech Quiz, and the optional dinner at the Frederick Cellars winery.<br />

Almost a weekend of activities squeezed into one day.<br />

Before going on with our CC40 description, we would like to salute the<br />

volunteers who made this, and all events, so successful. Showing up<br />

early at 7:00 AM, helping in all phases of the event from traffic control,<br />

parking line up, registration, Concours set up and judging, designing the<br />

rally, and event scoring. All of these special members deserve a big pat<br />

on the back for what they do; because without them the rest of us could<br />

not enjoy what we do, participate. Next time you see one of them, give<br />

them that pat on the back and a big Thank You!<br />

The cars were in all colors - red, orange, blue, silver, white, black and so<br />

on. Grey skies sometime help to enhance colors and make them more<br />

vivid, and that was a magic ingredient that helped all the cars look wonderful.<br />

The shapes were impressive also, front engine, mid engine, and<br />

the rear engine sorta dictate the shapes of our <strong>Porsche</strong>s, and that’s always<br />

unique to see. There was not one bad <strong>Porsche</strong> there (nor will you<br />

S E PTE M B E R 2 6 TH ▪ CC40 – ON THE BRICKS<br />

(Continued from page 13)<br />

ever see a bad <strong>Porsche</strong>) and the close Concours judging proved that out.<br />

We joined in with the others who decided to do the Concours, and it was<br />

quite an experience. The competition was working hard to show their car<br />

at their best, and we think everyone succeeded. It was interesting to find<br />

out what products your competitors were using, it appeared to be a fairly<br />

wide range, and we picked up some good tips for our next Concours.<br />

For a first timer, the Concours can be both nerve-racking but fun at the<br />

same time. You find yourself sweating - trying to anticipate what the<br />

judges will be looking for is “Challenging” (no pun intended). And when<br />

they’re finished with their judging, there’s a big sigh of relief. It’s over!<br />

Whatever happens, happens! You will accept the outcome, and you will<br />

learn how to do it better next time. You can generally tell the competitors<br />

who have done this before; they’re cool and calm. You wish you<br />

could be this way. Next time it will be easier, you keep telling yourself.<br />

This years Concours and Car Show went smoothly and without a “glitch”,<br />

thanks to chair Ron Gordon. The judging team moved from section to<br />

section, and they handled themselves with calm and dignity. Boy, if only<br />

we could be that calm and dignified. The final results proved that the<br />

<strong>Chesapeake</strong> membership takes this event very seriously, and congratulations<br />

go to all the winners. Concours and Car Show results are posted at<br />

the end of this article.<br />

The afternoon Rally was a back road tour of many local Frederick county<br />

landmarks, but with a twist as well. You were looking for answers from<br />

signs along the way, some easy and some difficult. Because of the<br />

weather, it wasn’t exactly a “top down” day for our cabrio members, but<br />

all cars got through the course in good time. Ending at the downtown<br />

Frederick Cellars winery, everyone had smiles and good thoughts for the<br />

Rallymaster, Steve Kinsley, who was ablely assisted by our own Jon Patterson.<br />

Together they pulled off another terrific event within an event, so<br />

congratulations to both of them. Rally results are also posted at the end<br />

of this article.<br />

The advertised “<strong>Porsche</strong> at the Movies” Tech Quiz proved to be a different<br />

twist on a normal <strong>Porsche</strong> Tech Quiz. Everyone had an equal chance at<br />

this one, but knowledge of <strong>Porsche</strong> appearances in various movies gave<br />

PORSCHE PATTER ▪ OCTOBER <strong>2009</strong> ▪ Page 14<br />

(Continued on page 15)


(Continued from page 14)<br />

you the advantage. It tested you being able to distinguish models by<br />

year, and your <strong>Porsche</strong> knowledge of things like where the color of the<br />

911 that Steve McQueen was driving at the start of the movie “LeMans”<br />

came from. I learned it was from a Bentley, but we still haven’t made the<br />

association, but we’re sure we will some day. It was “Challenging” to say<br />

the least, but all took it well and enjoyed the experience. Tech Quiz results<br />

are also posted at the end of this article.<br />

The finale of the CC40 was the gathering and dinner at the Frederick Cellars.<br />

The wine and hors d’oeuvres started the group off in fine style. The<br />

meal to follow was equally in fine style as well, which was topped off with<br />

a “chocoholics delight” dessert. No one seemed to wait at their table for<br />

this ending to a delicious meal.<br />

The grand finale was the announcement of the award winners. Like the<br />

rest of CC40, the trophies were unusual and beautiful. Brass plaques on<br />

authentic and historic Frederick brick pavers, a perfect keepsake reminder<br />

for those who got to take one home. We were among the recipients, so<br />

now we have a CC40 treasure to keep. A listing of all the winners is<br />

posted below, but a special recognition should be given to Dan Dazzo for<br />

his “Lufthansa Award” (which is not his first), for the highest placed member<br />

competing in all the events of the day. Congratulations Dan, and to<br />

all who came and competed or just came to be part of the Special Edition<br />

of <strong>Chesapeake</strong> Challenge 40. We hope to be with you and see you all<br />

back next year.<br />

Special Note: For those Boxster owners who made the effort to attend<br />

this years CC40, I also say Congratulations and Thanks. As the Boxster<br />

Register Advocate for the East Coast, I was very happy we made such a<br />

wonderful showing of 15 cars out of the total of 60 for this year’s event.<br />

It was great to meet some members I’d not met before in person, to see<br />

others that I have met before, and to overall see the reception the Box-<br />

sters received from everyone. Our cars looked spectacular! Thank you to<br />

the Chairs, Ellen and Bob, to Andrew Toth for his support, and especially<br />

to all who brought their Boxsters out to be part of our special event. Let’s<br />

top this next year!<br />
