Summer Rally

Yes, we’re all bored to death and need some exciting Porsche events to relieve the stress. How about a rally?

We’re planning a simple “All About Speed” rally for Saturday August 29. The starting location will be Traville Gateway Center in Rockville at 9:30am. The drive will meander its way over all our favorite back roads and end at the home of PCA member Tony Pagonis in Monrovia, MD. There will be a BBQ food truck at the finish, and the property is large enough with lots of outdoor space to properly practice social distancing.

The cost of the rally will be $50 per car, with lunch included for both driver and navigator. Entry will be limited to the first 25 cars to register at msreg.com/SummerofCovidRally

Date: Saturday, August 29

Time: 9:30am

Starting Location: Traville Gateway Center in Rockville, MD

The Porsche Club of America’s ninth Treffen North America will be hosted at the historic Greenbrier resort, deep in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia. This is the first ever PCA Zone 2 Treffen and our very own Potomac Region is excited to join the First Settlers and Shenandoah Regions in supporting the five day event, September 16-20th, 2020.

The German word “Treffen” is a verb that means, “To meet.” Porsche Treffens are organized by various Porsche groups around the globe each year.

For those unfamiliar with the PCA Treffen, they are prestigious, multiday events at premier locations in North America, open to members from all regions. PCA National organizes two per year; in Spring and Fall. You may have seen invitations for this year’s Spring Treffen at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. Treffens are very popular and attract a wide diversity of Porsches and Porsche people.

Virtual DnD

The Drive & Dine program organizers, led by Glenn Havinoviski, decided enough with the lack of socialization and created a virtual event with many of the usual drive and dine suspects.

This was the second such event held by the Drive & Dine program, the first was less advertised and as a result a smaller gathering.  But folks enjoyed it so Glenn organized another get together and requested that participants register for the event just like an ordinary Drive & Dine event.

Participants were asked to share the following:

  1. Their favorite adult or child beverage
  2. The latest on how they and their family have been holding up
  3. The latest news on what they've been doing with their Porsche
  4. Any cool face mask designs they were wearing?

  4. Drive, Dine and Wine to Fox Meadow Winery
  5. PCA Potomac Member is the PCA National Raffle Winner!!!
