2023 Q2
Zone Rep Reporting From Palm Springs Porsche Parade
I am submitting this report from the Porsche Parade in Palm Springs, CA. The venue is beautiful and the crowd is very enthusiastic – especially following the Concours and Historic Display yesterday. I attended two days of meetings with the other Zone Reps to share ideas and get updates from various Committee Chairs.
Q2 started with a wrap up of the Zone 2 Club Race at VIR held March 24-26. The event was a success with 125 racers in attendance. The event also included an Advanced Driver Education.
I planned to attend a Delaware Region Rally for charity on 15APR but had to cancel at the last minute because of a cold. I plan to reschedule a trip later in the year.
I attended the famous Central Pennsylvania Region Porsche-Only Swap Meet in Carlisle, PA. The new venue is well suited and there was a very good turnout of cars and vendors. Congratulations to the Central Pennsylvania Region for the continued success of their marque event!
The First Settlers Region, my home Region, has been very active. I attended the May breakfast and was pleased to see the number of attendees are back to pre-Covid levels. I was unable to join them for the 75th Anniversary Party because I was already driving across the county to attend Porsche Parade.
All is well in Zone 2!
Respectfully submitted,
Phil Grandfield
