Written by Craig Davidson

The second rally of 2017 is scheduled for Saturday June 10. We will meet at 9:00 at Merrifield Garden Center, 6895 Wellington Rd, Gainesville VA. After a short drivers meeting we will set out on a predetermined course for a spirited drive through Virginia wine country. The rally will end at Rappahannock Cellars in Huntly VA.

There is a café at the garden center that serves breakfast in case you arrive early. Participants can enjoy wine tasting and lite fare at the winery, but all food and drink are at the individual’s expense. Grounds are available for anyone wishing to picnic.

This rally was planned for October 2016 but got rained out. I’m sure the foliage won’t be quite the same this time of year, but all we hope for is good weather.

Cost of the rally is $25/per car. There is no online registration. Contact rally@pcapotomac.org to sign up.

This year’s annual Deutsche Marque Concours d’Elegance will be soon be upon us. Billed as the Potomac Porsche Club’s premier annual concours and hosted along with the DC Region’s Mercedes Benz Club and BMW Club for its 34th year, this is a great time to view some of the areas nicest German automobiles. Bring your Porsche out to the show to compete for awards or to display. The all-day event is complete with car displays, food and merchandise vendors and followed by an awards reception.

Potomac Porsche Club Concours Chairman John Truban has chosen a diverse and highly qualified group of Judges. The Judges will be scoring cars based on cleanliness of the exterior, interior, engine and trunk compartments. We do not score the undercarriage of the car. We have designed the car classes to allow for the widest range of Porsche automobiles to compete and be shown. We have many familiar classes while adding two additional classes this year. We have added a Modern Production Class for Cayennes, Macans and Panameras, as well as brought back the Outlaw Class for all Porsches that have been noticeably modified from the original specifications.
