After a really hot July, we did enjoyed the August beautiful weather. Took a very nice vacation road trip with the family starting with Niagara falls, then Lake Placid (a favorite for us), Vermont and ending with Watkins Glen. We took back-roads between Syracuse and Lake Placid and yes it is a blast to drive, nice roads, great views, but a lot of cops which I found somewhat odd. Don’t remember seeing that before. Fun fact is that I only saw one 996 the entire time in Lake Placid among many Cayennes and Macans.
That will change for sure next year during the Porsche Parade 2026. However in Stowe Vermont I spotted a lot of 911s.
Back home we really enjoyed our Crabfeast event. Food was delicious and the little and “big” kids all had a great time.
Meeting Alwin Springer at TPC was a great opportunity to learn about Porsche Motorsports history. His great stories delighted us. Such a great guy!
Well looking forward for the month of September, packed with great events and celebrations.

President Chesapeake Region, PCA
September is the month we welcome our wonderful Autumn weather and it is the kick off of a very busy season. This month, we pay special attention to the PCA’s 70th Anniversary on September 13 with two major events, first with the PCA Open House in Columbia and second with our Chesapeake Region celebration hosted by Porsche Hunt Valley. The following week on the 20th, we will hold our own premier event, the 56th annual Chesapeake Challenge, and lastly a New Member Party on the 29th hosted by Porsche Annapolis.
I’m writing this on the Sunday after our 18th annual Crab Feast, since we will be PCA Cruisin’ to Canada on the Treffen At Sea for the first week in September when this is due to the Editor. Back to the crab feast. WOW. We cleared the waitlist and had nearly 140 members and families attend in the largest ever crab feast. Many thanks to Ellen and Bob & Linda and Ron for leading this event again this year. And many, many thanks to the volunteers who arrived early to set up and stayed late for clean up, grilling burgers and dogs, taking photographs for the Patter, and judging cars for the all-for fun show. We had perfect weather and huge crabs and shrimp and much fun and friendship. A huge thank you to our valued sponsor, Porsche Silver Spring for supporting this event.
The 56th annual Chesapeake Challenge is the longest running multi-event activity in the PCA. Planning for this year’s event is under the leadership of Kristen Allen. Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 20th, at Frey’s Brewing Company in Mt. Airy. Kristen is looking for volunteers, so thank you in advance for considering supporting this exceptional PCA event. If you are not able to commit to a full day of challenges and would like to view the beautiful cars and socialize during the Concours, you are welcome to register and attend in the morning.
Registration is open until September 10th at https:// www.motorsportreg.com/events/chesapeakechallenge-56-sep-20-freys-brewery-pca-759471. We are grateful for our valued sponsor Porsche Hunt Valley for sponsoring this event again this year.
The National Porsche Club of America will continue celebrating its 70th Anniversary with the 4th Annual Treffen at Sea departing NYC on August 30th. Parties and celebrations will be held across the USA and Canada to commemorate this occasion on September 13th. I hope you will plan to join us at the PCA Open House at National Headquarters from 10:00-2:00 (registration is required) and at Porsche Hunt Valley where the celebration continues with food, drinks, music and friendship from 4:00-7:00pm. To join the waitlist, register at http://www.msreg.com/70thAnniversary. We will do our best to clear the waitlist for this grand celebration. We currently have over 200 members registered. This will be the largest Chesapeake Region event ever.
Welcome new members! We added 21 new members in July, the most in a month this year! And also, a big thank you to all the members that renewed this month, our best month ever for renewals. We value your membership, and I look forward to meeting new members at the new member party.
Our next New Member Party will be held at Porsche Annapolis on September 27th starting at 9:00am. I look forward to meeting all the new members this month and passing out our terrific swag bags. You will have the opportunity to meet the Service Manager, Rob Blizzard and the new General Manager, Ben Miles. The Region’s Officers and Board Members will be in attendance to provide an overview of all the activities we organize throughout the year.
Our next Board Meeting will be on September 24th at the Green Turtle in Hanover beginning at 6:30. All members are welcome to attend. All I ask is to let me know at president@pcachs.org so I can reserve a seat at the table for you.
A huge thank you to all our volunteers! The PCA is run by volunteers and you all are an enormous part of our success and growth. Club participation is way up and we are seeing our numbers rise steadily, so please consider volunteering and help provide exciting, wellrun activities for our 1900+ members. On a related note, the position of Community Service Chair is open, so please let me know if you are interested.
Our Patter Editor, Bogdan, is doing a terrific job and is always looking for new content, so he is asking members for news articles, pictures, member profiles, anything Chesapeake newsworthy, so please do not be shy and share a story with us.
The 2 year term for your Executive Council comes to an end on 31 December. The Nominating Committee has completed their process for nominating candidates for the 2026-2028 term. The names of the candidates and the notice of election will be published in the October Patter.
The number of activities scheduled by the Club is truly remarkable. Too many to include here so please check the Club calendar and MotorsportReg for all the details.
Thanks to all of you for making Chesapeake Region so much fun! It’s the cars that bring us together, but it is the people that make it special.
Let’s be careful out there.

We recently had the opportunity to go to Stuttgart Germany with PCA. I won’t bore you with the details of the nightmare it is getting to and from the US to Europe. Suffice it to say we were in transit for 21+ hours door to door, both ways. This is an article about the most amazing experience for Porsche enthusiasts.
We arrived in Stuttgart Sunday July 13, checked into Schlosshotel Montrepos. Monday (day 2) was tours day, first the factory where they make the 911. 500 per day. Would love to show you photos, but inside all Porsche buildings they confiscate and lock up your phone. Then a short bus ride to the Porsche hidden storage warehouse where they store all the cars for the museum. There are over 500 cars there, including at least one of EVERY MODEL Porsche has ever made. And 15 918s! The warehouse is not marked outside, nothing to indicate there was a billion dollars worth of autos inside! And again, no pictures. After the tours we headed back to the hotel for drivers meeting and dinner at the hotel. Apparently the restaurant had just lost their Michelin Star, but the food was still excellent.
Day 3. In the morning we looked outside to see 6 beautiful brand new Carrera 4GTS (and one Targa) waiting for us. There were only 14 people on the tour, and we could drive any/all of them over the course of the week. We were assigned one in Carmine Red, and Craig was in love. While some of the others swapped cars (convertibles), we weren’t giving this one up. It was OURS for the next 4 days!
We were divided into 2 groups, #9 and #11. All the cars were equipped with walkie-talkies, so the lead driver (a Porsche employee) could be the voice of GPS, telling us when to change lanes, change speed, when to turn, etc etc. No music to distract us. Then off we went, departure time 9:11 (of course). First drive was through the winding roads of the Forest of Odes. Lots of twisty turns and elevation changes, and small towns.
Lunch stop was at Schlosshotel Steinburg in Wurzburg within the vineyards of the region. Afterwards the drive continued towards the Thuringian Forest. (It felt like we were driving through some of our National Parks). We eventually arrived at the “Relais & Chateaux Hotel Schloss Hohenhaus, our place for the night. Dinner was at the hotel, a Michelin Star restaurant. Excellent.
Day 4. A common misconception is that the Autobahn is a singular road, but it’s more like our interstate system, all the highway roads are “autobahn”. Drivers in Germany are very civil, no tailgating, weaving in and out of lanes, passing on the right. And EVERYONE uses turn signals (like here, right?). Each lane has its own speed limit (in kilometers) – right lane usually 80, middle lane 100, left lane 120 + (or NONE). Outside of cities was where everything opened up and it was pedal to the metal. Morning drive was through the Saale Valley, to the ultimate destination the Porsche Experience Center in Liepzig. (If you order a car in the states and plan to pick it up at the factory, this is where you’d go). Lunch was provided in the center, followed by a private factory tour of where all the Macans and Panameras are made. Afterwards the Porsche Track Experience was ours for the afternoon, under the guidance of experienced instructors.
Craig was doing all the driving on the roads, but track day was MINE. Of course, I’d never driven on a track before, so the driving drills we did on the skid pad were exactly what I needed. Then it was track time, so we lined up behind the instructor in the pit lane and off we went. We’d do 2 laps, then pull into the pit lane and do a Chinese Fire Drill – first driver went to the last car and everyone else moved up one, that way we all got to drive all the different models. In addition to 911s, there was a Taycan and a Boxster on track so we got to drive them all. YES, IT WAS A TON OF FUN! Then the instructor invited anyone brave enough to do hot laps with him. Most of us did, but I know my limitations so I passed on that one. Barbeque dinner at the track (no hamburgers and hot dogs for this group – think steak and salmon…), then transfer by bus back to the Steigenberger Icon Grandhotel Handelshof for the night.
Day 5. Bus transfer back to the Porsche Experience Center to pick up our cars, all freshly detailed and ready to go for a full day on the Autobahn back to Stuttgart, about 250 miles. The goal was to get the car up to 300 kph (186mph). WE TRIED, REALLY HARD, but sadly only got to 296 kph (184 mph). First thing everyone asks me, “was it scary?”. Oddly, it wasn’t. But someone described it as “an out-of-body experience”. Yup, that sums it up. Ended up back at the first hotel for a farewell dinner and a very well deserved rest.
Day 6. Another nightmare traveling back to the US, but the trip was worth every single second. Thoughts 2 weeks later – this was awesome beyond all our expectations. We saw things most people don’t get to see, and drive incredible roads IN THEIR CARS (at speeds that would land us in Jail in the states)! Luggage was all handled by Porsche, local beer and wines at every dinner, excellent hotels and food.
Six Porsche employees traveled with us, all very knowledgeable about all things Porsche. Would we do it again? Hard to say no if the opportunity arises…

It was the best of tours, it was the worst of tours. Well, that’s maybe overly dramatic but I couldn’t resist the Dickens reference. I’ll try to restrain myself for the rest of this article, and you can be the judge at the end.
In late May, my wife Suzanne and I drove our 2001 Boxster S to Little Switzerland, NC for the Blue Ridge Boxster Summit (www.brbs.org). This event started in 1998, with an online group of owners of the then newly-released Boxster deciding to meet in real life near Asheville, NC. Since then, with the exception of a few COVID years, BRBS has been an annual event on the last weekend of May.
Rally Sport Region member Jim Long told us about BRBS, having attended some in the past. The stars finally aligned in 2025 and we were able to attend ourselves. We took two days to drive to Little Switzerland, visiting Suzanne’s mom in Cincinnati along the way. We also took a detour through the Tail of the Dragon (aka Deal’s Gap) to get some beauty shots of the car.
Exiting one of the 319 curves on the Tail of the Dragon
Thursday,
Unfortunately it wasn’t a race day, the Coca-Cola 600 having been the previous weekend. But, we did have fantastic views of the track and could imagine the excitement of watching a race from the 6th floor panoramic windows. After lunch, the local Hagerty Insurance rep organized a private tour of the Rick Hendricks Heritage Center, a 58,000 square foot collection of about 230 cars and seemingly as many guitars, most signed by well-known musicians. The tour was over too quickly—we could have spent all day inside and still only scratched the surface—but was an unforgettable experience.
Friday dawned with the potential for some rain— which materialized as we were blasting up Roan Mountain Road with James Beavan and his wife Anna (from PCA Chesapeake Region), on the way to the Grandfather Mountain nature park. In addition to a wildlife rescue and sanctuary, one of the highlights of Grandfather Mountain is the Mile High Swinging Bridge. We just barely had time to cross the bridge on foot before it was closed due to high winds.
On the way to a late lunch after Grandfather Mountain, the battery light started flickering on our car. I knew the battery was at least 6 years old (I had intended to replace it prior to the trip but didn’t manage to actually do it), so with fingers crossed we stopped at a Walmart and bought a replacement. Surprisingly, Walmart had the correct AGM battery in stock! Although that didn’t solve the problem, it did get us back to the hotel. There we confirmed that the charging system, well, wasn’t charging. We borrowed a high-capacity battery charger from the event organizer Scott Ishler to get some juice back into our battery. In the process, I managed to cut my hand through klutzy use of a pocket knife—badly enough to need stitches. Our new friend James kindly offered to shuttle me to the ER and back —never let it be said that PCA folks look don’t out for each other!
On Saturday we split off from the BRBS folks and went to Porsche of Hickory, NC to see if they had a replacement alternator in stock. Sadly, they did not, but they did find a nail in one rear tire! We returned to Little Switzerland a bit despondent. We considered trying to leapfrog home between our 2 batteries, but in the end (at the suggestion once again of James) rented a giant U-Haul box truck and trailer to flatbed the car back to Michigan. You may recall that hurricane Helene devastated western North Carolina last year. Every charity in the country seemingly rented a 26’ UHaul truck and sent it there full of food, water, and 2x4s. All those huge trucks are still there, and no smaller ones are to be found anywhere. U-Haul did give me a price break on this giant truck—only charging me for the smallest truck in their fleet. But with the box full of just air, it was a very bouncy 13.5 hour drive home—at 7.9 MPG.
We had another tour planned at the end of June so we had no time to dilly-dally with the necessary repairs. More on those in a tech article next month. We did get the car back in ship shape for our next tour, the Michigan Mille. This event has been going on for almost as long as the BRBS, but we joined it after getting our Boxster in 2018. It was started by Steve Shugg and some of his Chrysler buddies as a guys’ trip, and has grown (and shrank) over the years—always at the founder’s discretion. We learned of it while looking for Midwest car rallies and passed Steve’s rigorous interview process (actually just a 15 minute phone call, after which he welcomed us to the Michigan Mille community). We have attended every year since then except when it was suspended during COVID, and we also missed 2023 due to our son’s graduation from University of Oregon.
Similar to BRBS, the Michigan Mille is a 4-day event with a mix of good driving roads and interesting stops along the way. Also like BRBS, each day ends with a banquet dinner followed by evening socializing. Unlike BRBS, the location changes each year. In past years we have gone to the Hocking Hills of Ohio, Traverse City, Battle Creek, Nashville (adding an extra day for that one), and Grand Rapids. This year we went back to Ohio—specifically Canton, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Having been bitten by a shortage of tools and repair manuals on BRBS, we didn’t make that mistake again. They say that fortune favors the prepared, and I’ll end any suspense right now by saying we didn’t touch a single tool on the trip.
Although the Michigan Mille officially started on Thursday, Steve hosted a kickoff dinner at his home on Wednesday evening. Afterwards we stayed at the nearby cottage of a fellow Mille participant. Thursday morning we reconvened for a light breakfast and short drivers’ meeting, and then headed for Canton on mostly back roads. As the drive to Canton was lengthy, we didn’t have any tourist stops other than lunch in a park near Toledo. We arrived at the hotel in the late afternoon, and enjoyed the usual banquet dinner and socializing--a heady mix of wine, bourbon, cigars, and conversation.
On Friday morning we headed for the National Packard Museum in Warren, OH, where Packard was founded before moving to the famous plant in Detroit. There we had a dedicated docent take us through Packard’s illustrious history and sad decline. Afterwards we had lunch in the shade, and then drove some more back roads before having dinner at the Canton Classic Car Museum, right next to the hotel. Thanks to some fortuitous timing, Suzanne and I also got a quick tour of the well-preserved Art Deco studios of WHBC prior to the evening socializing in and around the Canton Classic Car Museum restoration shop.
Saturday was the real highlight of the Mille. Our first stop was The Age of Steam Roundhouse in Sugarcreek, Ohio—locally known as Little Switzerland, reminding us of the BRBS. This is a collection of roughly 30 steam locomotives, housed in a purpose-built roundhouse, sitting in the middle of Amish farm country. I have wanted to go there for years, ever since Suzanne gave me a large-scale photograph of several locomotives taken in the roundhouse. It hangs in our dining room directly in view of my seat at the dinner table. We barely scratched the surface in our guided 90 minute tour, and it’s on my list to return for an extended 3 hour tour. 3 days would not even be enough to see everything. Afterwards, we continued the steam engine theme at the Ernest Warther Museum & Gardens, 30 minutes away in Dover, OH. Mr. Warner was a master knife maker and wood carver, who made scale models of about 60 steam trains over his lifetime. The detail in his models—each made from thousands of individually-carved pieces of wood, ebony, and ivory—was astonishing. Even more amazing, he carved these trains from memory.
The Saturday night banquet includes awards for attendees. Some of the awards are based on the car (such as best domestic car), and others are based on the people (such as the Barney Oldfield award for, shall we say, enthusiastic driving). I took home the Spectacular Supporter award for beating multiple recalcitrant Garmin GPS units into submission.
On Sunday we returned home safe and sound, and returned all of the unused tools to their proper places.
So there you have it—a tale of two tours. We plan to do both again next year—recognizing that our issues on the Blue Ridge Boxster Summit were not related to the event itself, which we enjoyed a lot.
Stay tuned next month for what happened in-between the tours…

The time has arrived to select the next set of Executive Council members for the 2026 and 2027 calendar years. As prescribed in our Bylaws, these candidates were vetted by the Nominee Committee and approved by the existing Executive Council. Both club members and co-members will have the opportunity to vote using MotorsportReg. The voting process will begin on October 1 and close Nov 5th. The results will be announced at the Volunteer Lunch and in the December issue of the Patter.
Please find listed below the candidates for President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary of the Porsche Club of America – Chesapeake Region.
***
Steve Buss – Candidate for the Office of President Two years ago, at this time I was debating whether I had the knowledge and understanding of what it took to be an effective President of the PCA Chesapeake Region. I arrived at the decision to be a candidate because I had the ambition and desire to contribute to the Club’s growing success by volunteering my time to work with the Executive Council and the Board of Directors to organize and coordinate the Club’s many activities. Over the years, the Club has provided so much enjoyment to Marsha and me that I felt compelled to give back.
The two guidelines I live and lead by are simple… Family First because there is nothing more important. The second is Have Fun! When you are having fun, you are engaged and motivated.
Marsha often reminds me my job as President is to put smiles on members’ faces. And I try very hard to do that every day.
I am very grateful to have met hundreds of members, and I’m thankful for their friendship and appreciate their support.
I enjoy leading this exceptionally talented group of volunteers and I’m continuing to have fun! Therefore, I would be very honored to be your President for the 2026-2027 term.
Thank you,
Steve ***
Rob Carter – Candidate for the Office of Vice President I am writing to express my enthusiastic interest and self-nominate for the Vice President position. Having been an active member of the PCA Chesapeake Region, I am deeply committed to our shared objectives. I believe my experience and dedication would be particularly valuable in supporting our continued club growth, fostering enhanced collaboration among members and committees, and ensuring robust succession planning for future leadership. I am eager to contribute to the strategic vision and operational excellence that will drive our club forward.
I am confident that I can effectively support the President and the Executive Council in achieving our goals. I welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications and vision for the role further.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Rob Carter aka "Handsome Rob"
***
Jessie Sanchez – Candidate for Treasurer Greetings from Jessup, MD. I hope this note finds you all well and in good spirits. I’m writing to express my most sincere interest in the position of Treasurer at PCA Chesapeake and self-nomination.
As an active member of the club and membership cochair, I absolutely enjoy volunteering for our events and helping other members. My passion for the Porsche brand runs deep and it shows when I greet and assist other Porsche owners and club members. Having been with the club for almost 5 years, I’d like to continue my journey in a position of greater responsibility and leadership, while continuing to learn the intricacies of our successful chapter.
Although not an accountant by trade, I have over 25 years of experience in budget programming, execution and reconciliation. As a current federal employee, I serve as a certified Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and Program Manager for several multimillion-dollar contracts supporting the Department of Defense, U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.
If given the opportunity, I am certain in my abilities to excel in the position and learn from the incumbent, ensuring uninterrupted continuity and a smooth transition.
Please let me know if any of you would like to discuss my qualifications in detail or would like any additional information to support self-nomination.
Thank you so much for your time and thoughtful consideration.
Very Respectfully,
J. Sánchez

I am submitting my name to continue as your Chesapeake Region Secretary.
I have been a member of the Chesapeake Region since 2019. You can catch me at numerous events throughout the year, as I am an active member. I have previously served as the Membership Chair.
During the past term, I was honored to document the minutes of our meetings. I have diligently been able to generate a historical reference document of the efforts, by all the officers, to enhance and ensure the prosperity of the region. As such, I look forward to providing the same expertise during the next term of service. Volunteering for the chapter is very important to me and, as Secretary, I am able to provide my skills with the Executive Committee, as well.
Feel free to say hello at the next chapter event. Ken Wilmers

The Chesapeake Region invites you to attend the 56th Annual Chesapeake Challenge! This event has something for EVERY Porsche driver and enthusiast. People get together to look at and show their Porsches while having a fun-filled day of activities, good food, and great company! If only your morning is free, during the morning Concours event we welcome PCA members and their guests to view the cars and socialize.
For over 50 years, Chesapeake Region has invited its members and friends to celebrate the annual Chesapeake Challenge – the oldest running multi-event weekend in PCA history. The Challenge quickly became popular among MidAtlantic owners, and attendance grew to well over a hundred cars in the ensuing years. The Challenge has moved around Maryland throughout its history.

Join us on Saturday, October 11th, as PCA Chesapeake conducts its 14th tour of the season developed by our guest tour master, Ron Farb, where we will return to the Alleghany Mountains. The tour begins in Middletown, MD, and quickly makes its way north to the MD/PA border. We then skirt the border as we head west towards Hancock, MD, and our rest stop. After the break, we hop back on some fantastic roads along with great scenery as we travel north through the Alleghany Mountains and then we will drive south on the amazing PA-26. Our destination will be at the Locust Post Brewery for an optional lunch.

In September, we are returning to Loonasea in Essex at the request of a number of our members. You'll recall that Rob and Grace Carter arranged our first visit there - so please thank them when you have a chance. We were there during last Winter and folks wanted to return for the waterside vibes during nicer weather.
We are working hard to bring you dining experiences throughout our region - and we're always looking to expand our collection of favorite restaurants. We are mindful of $$, locations, and (most importantly) good parking and couples' checks! If you have a suggestion, please send it to social@pcachs.org.

Join us on Saturday, October 11th, as PCA Chesapeake conducts its 14th tour of the season developed by our guest tour master, Ron Farb, where we will return to the Alleghany Mountains. The tour begins in Middletown, MD, and quickly makes its way north to the MD/PA border. We then skirt the border as we head west towards Hancock, MD, and our rest stop. After the break, we hop back on some fantastic roads along with great scenery as we travel north through the Alleghany Mountains and then we will drive south on the amazing PA-26. Our destination will be at the Locust Post Brewery for an optional lunch.
The optional lunch will be at the locally owned Locust Post Brewery. This brewery was recently built by Tony & Denise Cromwell on their 26-acre farmstead, and their home is literally walking distance to it. They have been extremely accommodating and will have a reserved section of parking for us on the grass. They serve bar food for lunch including pizza, taquitos, and chicken bites.
For more on the Locust Post Brewery, see their website; https://locustpostbrewery.com/.
Given their limited pizza ovens and the normal crowds, they get on a Saturday, Locust Post Brewery would like for us to give them an idea of how many pizzas we want so that they can bake a few before we arrive and have them ready. Therefore, if you think you will order the pizza, please indicate so when you sign up on MSR. You are not obligated to buy a pizza even if you check the box. You will not be charged for the pizza when you register, rather this is so they can prepare for us. You can order a different pizza or something else from their menu when you arrive, as well as pay for your pre-ordered pizza.
Upon leaving the brewery, your GPS will have you take a right on National Pike to get back to I-68. However, take a left instead and drive about a mile to the Town Hill overlook on your left. There is parking and the view is spectacular! P.S. The Town Hill Bed & Breakfast across the street is supposed to be excellent if you want to spend the night in this area.
When: Saturday, Oct 11th, 9:00 am
Where: The Middletown, MD address will be sent to confirmed registrants by October 10th
Assembly Time: 8:30 am
Participant’s Meeting: 8:45 am

Wags, Wings & Wheels PCA-CHS 2025 Tour & Rally Event No. 12 – Saturday, August 9th
After an almost two-month break in racing, Chesapeake PCA AX#5 was held on Saturday August 16th. Actually, several of us stayed active, racing twice with Potomac at Summit Point during that period, so we didn’t exactly get rusty during that little hiatus. Even so, it was tough to get back into the swing of putting on the event, but as always, the Team did a first-rate job.
Pinto Soin and I arrived back-to-back at 4:45 AM. The weather really matters to us and this day was pretty good: We started with dry conditions around 75 F, cloudy and humid. The sun came out, a breeze came up, and the dew point dropped – it was warm, but not stiflingly hot. I’d call it summer warm, not summer hot, which was actually pretty good conditions for racing. AX Team member Phong Nguyen had it really tough. He came back from the west coast Friday night, landing about 9:00 PM, so he was really fried. Didn’t stop him from soldiering on and having a good driving day, though! He must have been on automatic pilot. ;)
We had a decent turnout for this event with 80 registered (registration is capped at 80), 66 Confirmed for race day, and 62 actually showed up to race. I was expecting the registration to be down a bit because the Mercedes Benz club was racing that day at Summit Point (which always draws away some of our regulars) and the Philly SCCA was racing at Ripken the next day. Funny story: We had one walk-on when someone who had registered for the SCCA event the next day showed up Saturday thinking that was the SCCA race day.
words by Greg Hartke photos by Jim McKee
Ha! Sounds like something I would do. (Just ask Marilyn…) I don’t normally take walk-ons, but the registration was lowish and (as usual) we had a few no-shows, so why not? Worked out OK and they had a good time.
Just to make life interesting, Ripken has a new management team after the recent sale of the Ironbirds. That means my contact person changed and something like that is always a concern. As it turned out, trying to get a response to any communication from the new contact has been a problem. A big problem. We went into this one with me not knowing if the lot was prepared for us or if anyone would be there to take care of problems or even open the facility for us to use the bathrooms. I was really worried! As it turned out, they sent an intern to take care of us (and he did a good job), but subsequent communication has continued to be non-existent. Phone calls unanswered, emails ignored… Nothing. I’m not enjoying this. We’ll see how it shakes out, but I remain worried.
Co-chair Mark Hubley had designed a big course for this race, really spreading us out over a large fraction of the lot. On paper, the course looked very fast, but was actually much trickier than it looked. There were only two really fast sections, a bunch of tight corners, and a diabolical finish. When the Team finished the course build (an all-hands-ondeck process for such a large venue), Mark and I went out as usual to do the test runs. We made small changes for navigation and really only changed a couple of spots on the course, including the finishing sequence. That finishing sequence was tough and was too extreme in the initial build, so Mark and I relieved it to make it more drivable (and safer). In retrospect, I probably should have relieved it even further. We had a couple of spins there, but nothing too dramatic, so it worked out OK.
This was a very long course, but the fast design allowed us to get a second car on the course rather quickly, so we were able to do 8 runs with the relatively small registration. Surprisingly, this course had so much going on (i.e., violent changes of direction) that I actually got a little queasy over the course of my runs. Not sure I remember that ever happening before! In fact, one driver had to stop for a while due to motion sickness. I don’t think I’ve seen that before, either!
The start was pretty straight, so I rolled on full throttle very quickly out of the gate and into 2nd gear well before the second double gate. That corner at the top of the lozenge around Worker Station 1 (WS1) was tricky because you had to be a bit wide at the top to enter the jog on the backside of the lozenge. If you did that, you could carry a lot of speed through the jog and into the turn around the bottom. I actually wanted to carry a lot of speed through that bottom section and let the car drift wide (surprisingly close to the pointer cones) to straighten out the section back up through the double gates. Doing it this way, I could roll on full throttle and stay there ‘til I got up to the slight jog approaching the little slalom above WS2. I then tapped the brakes to get down to the proper speed for that slalom and prepared for the sharp right above WS3.
I deliberately lined up the entry to that turn a bit wide, turning it in to backside the apex cone as much as possible to prepare for the stretch down the right side of the course. That little slalom was surprisingly fast and I was careful to make sure I exited the slalom such that I entered the following sharp right-hander a bit wide to again backside the apex cone. Coming around, I rolled on full throttle as quickly as I could to push me into line for the very fast stretch up towards WS5.
The closing sequence was very tricky, requiring you to really look ahead if you wanted to be fast. Roaring towards WS5, I braked hard and threw the car around the right at the end of the fast stretch, then rolled on the throttle again for the short stretch heading towards WS2. Again, if you weren’t looking way ahead, you were going to make a mess of this section. The trick was to run fast and wide around the cones directly above WS5 to set up the finish. If you didn’t do that, the run into the stop box was an absolute mess. Do it right, and you were rewarded with a fast finish. When I came around WS5, I was able to snake through surprisingly fast and I’m still not sure how I managed to miss those final cones run after run, nor avoid hitting the left cone at the entry to the stop box. I did it, though!
We had a few spins on that finishing sequence, which was no surprise to me. Chris Markwood was one of those who had a big spin there. If you went in just slightly out of shape and tried to make it anyway, you were guaranteed to either hit cones or lose it. No big deal, though, because there was plenty of room.
I did not drive this course particularly well. Sheesh! Oddly, I kept bogging it down slightly out of the start (no excuse for that!) and that little gaffe probably cost me more than any other mistake I could possibly make. Oddly, my best run was my first and that never happens to me. I take that as a sure sign that I was over-driving. Dave Critcher told me that this course was one that was really easy to over-drive and I agreed. To be fast, you really had to be patient and accept what the course gave you. I must have taken his advice to heart because I drove really well at the two POT races after AX#5. ‘Course, it’s also easier when you’re not the one in the worry seat. ;) Even so, my best time for AX#5 was within shouting distance of Chris Nolan and that guy is really good, so I don’t feel too badly. Phong had a great day, finishing 4th among the Porsches. He obviously figured it out. Good on you, Phong!
One irritation at this race: we noted some asphalt coming up in a couple of places. As I was heading up that fast slalom above WS2, I saw a big chunk right in my line and I really couldn’t avoid it. It made a nasty noise when I threw it up in the undercarriage, too. I should have taken a rerun because it really distracted me and made me hesitate and change my line, but I didn’t think to do it at the time. Dumb! I also hit a smaller chunk on a different run in the slalom below WS3. We actually stopped the race at one point to have workers clear some asphalt debris.
The pace for this race was incredibly fast which made it very hectic in the timing trailer when we started, with plenty of cone hits. As I said, the design had cars getting on the course very quickly – there were three cars on the course at one time for the most part. Hey, that was OK, the fast pace is what gave us 8 runs while still getting done at a reasonable time and who would complain about that?
The first car was off at 9:38 AM and we finished at 2:28 PM. Pretty good for 8 runs! AX Team Member Phong Nguyen quickly assembled the results after the event and the top 10 placing Porsches for AX#5 were:
1. 1st overall, 1st in Class S5, 51.389 sec: Dave Critcher, 2016 GT3
2. 2nd overall, 1st in Class P5, 51.963 sec: Paul Kozlak, 2022 GT4
3. 7th overall, 2nd in Class P5, 54.039 sec: Leonard Roy, 2025 Cayman GTS
4. 8th overall, 1st in Class I, 54.089 sec: Phong Nguyen, 2005 Boxster S
5. 9th overall, 1st in Class P4, 54.131 sec: Chris Nolan, 2014 Cayman S
6. 11th overall, 2nd Class I, 54.612 sec: Niels Johnson, 2018 718 Cayman S
7. 12th overall, 1st in Class P3, 54.927 sec: Michael Ignatysh, 2002 Carerra
8. 13th overall, 2nd in Class P4, 54.979 sec: Greg Hartke, 2014 Cayman S
9. 15th overall, 1st in Class S4, 55.360 sec: Dan Ruddick, 2015 Cayman GTS
10. 16th overall, 2nd in Class S5, 55.482 sec: Scott Borden, 2018 GT3 Touring
In addition, Dan Mattes was 1st in Class P2, Michael Ricketts was 1st in Class P3, Lee Goldberg was 1st in Class S1, Dennis Allen was 1st in Class S2, and Randy Gould was 1st in Class S3.
I’m always happy to have good weather for a race and AX#5 had a good turnout under the circumstances. We really had a great time and the drivers really enjoyed Mark’s course design. As always, the Team (Mark, Phong, Pinto Soin, John Cho, and Doug Slocum) did a stellar job with all the work that goes on during the event behind-thescenes. Lisa Gritti again spoiled us with her spectacular chocolate chip cookies and you know how much we hate that. She also provided some critical help when we were a bit shorthanded, too. Lisa will be absent from our next race and I’m just not sure how we’re going to manage. Gonna be tough! ;)
Again, attendees at this race had more reason than usual to have a good time besides great racing. Long-time AXer Scott Borden enjoyed the pizza at our last AX so much that he bought pizza for everyone at AX#6. That was really generous of Scott and we all thoroughly appreciated it. Thanks a bunch, Scott! As before, a bunch of hungry racers made short work of his generosity between heats 2 and 3.
We had a lot of Taste of Autocross participants at this one. I think I had a passenger with me for every run but the first. As always, they really enjoyed the opportunity and I think we may have even picked up a recruit or two.
As a serious aside, I’m sorry to say that Mark Hubley will be stepping down as Co-chair after this year. Taking care of AX in Aberdeen this year has just been too much, and family and work commitments make it impossible for him to keep up the pace. Remember, Mark has been driving up early Friday afternoon before every race to rent a cargo van to pull the equipment trailer, then hauling the trailer to a hotel. He then drives the trailer to the venue in the morning and after building the course, is ferried back to the hotel to pick up his car. He then goes through the reverse of this procedure after the race, then spends 2 hours driving home. (Racing in Aberdeen has its logistical challenges.) I’ll really miss working with Mark. I think he and I have worked well together and he’s done a spectacular job with course design and with the AX School. He’s going to be really hard to replace. Mark said he’s also going to be cutting back on his racing activities in general, maybe coming out only a couple of times a year, which has to be really tough because he’s been doing this a long time. Thanks for everything, Mark! We’ll really miss you!!!
By the time you read this, AX#6 (September 6th) will be in the books and we’ll have only one more event to go for the 2025 season. There are still plenty of opening for AX#7 (on October 18th) and as always, if you’d like to get out and tear around like your hair’s on fire at a CHS PCA AX, come on out and try it with us. And don’t forget our Taste of Autocross program! If you’d like to come out and see what autocross is really like, for a $5.00 fee (mandated by National) you can have all the rides you’d like in the passenger seat with our Instructors. Come join us and see what it’s like!
See you next time at the races!

CHS AX Chair
Burgundy but has since been repainted in a beautiful shade of Oslo Blue and fitted with a fiberglass longhood, Carrera-style rear flares, and backdated metal bumpers. What really sets it apart, though, are the 911 R-style polycarbonate rear windows and a set of 16-inch Group 4 wheels.
Inside, the car features aftermarket Sport Seats trimmed in Black leather with Pepita inserts. It also includes RS-style door panels, a Numeric Racing shifter, and an aluminum footrest. Out back, there’s a replacement engine from a 1975 911, fitted with dual Zenith carburetors, an auxiliary oil cooler in the passenger-side fender, an MSD 6A ignition controller, and a free-flow header paired with a modified sport exhaust.
We’ve seen this car before, as it sold for a final bid of $128,911 back in December 2024. Since then, the market for backdated G-bodies has remained fairly steady, with plenty of cars bringing strong money. This time around, though, our Spotlight car sold for a final bid of $93,500. Someone got a sweet deal on a sweet ride.
Had this been a run-of-the-mill 991.1 Carrera S Coupe, you’d expect it to land somewhere around $70,000, maybe $75,000. But this 44,000mile 2013 911 Carrera S Coupe came equipped with Porsche’s X51 Powerkit, PCCB brakes, and a stunning Espresso Natural Leather interior paired with a Platinum Silver Metallic exterior. It sold for a final bid of $84,000, right in line with comps for X51-equipped 991s.
This 2002 911 Turbo Coupe 6-Speed also sold right on the money. Finished in Seal Grey Metallic over Black leather, this 36,000-mile example featured the Turbo Aerokit and 18-inch Sport Techno wheels. It sold for $83,000, just shy of high comps. This 1988 911 Targa 5-Speed, on the other hand, beat high comps by a solid margin, selling for $92,000 against a high of $80,000. That shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, though, as it was finished in Paint-to-Sample Metallic Gray over a Beige leather interior and showed 63,000 miles on the clock. It also appeared to be in excellent condition, backed by a gallery full of detailed photos, paint meter readings, and a stack of service records.
