Well this years’ Concours d’Elegance event could be
called an event of 90’s; 90 plus entries, 90 plus degrees
temperature and an accompanying 90 plus percent
humidity. Yet in spite of the rather uncomfortable environment
Porsches came out in force and from as far away as Maryland
and Montreal. As in past years CVR member and 928 Club
founder Dave Lloyd marshaled his fellow “German Corvettes” in
another “Sharkfest reunion at PorscheFest, and this year many
of them participated in the judged classes and helped with the
Park and Wipe judging.
Past Concours chairman, Kim Saal, worked as hard as ever, at
registration, briefing the various judges, and awarding the trophies.
Tom Tate did his usual traffic patrolman impersonation
by directing entrants to their designated parking areas, this
year by model and in the case of the 911s, by year ranges. Dave
Weber, our scorekeeper and official photographer, whisked
through the 80 or so judged vehicles so that a timely award
presentation could be accomplished, and one of his prior year
photographs was the basis of Susana Weber’s trophy picture.
Passed down from generation to generation
Susana also ran the ever popular Kiddy raffle, in which all the
younger Porsche club members and guests won a fun toy.
Finally George Markely organized the Full Concours judges in
their tough job of picking a winner from all the immaculate
The Whooton’s once again won “Best of Show’ with their immaculate ‘86 930
