After a week of rain, the skies cleared and our club hosted a great event. Tom Zaffarano, our Zone 2 Representative and several First Settler’s Region members were also in attendance. Be sure to read about it elsewhere in this issue and see more photos on our website. I can’t thank Alex and Gail Smith enough for their tireless work in pulling this event off, plus the great help of Bob Duntley, Bryce and Gay Jewett. And a special thank you to Howard and Leeanne Faunce for allowing 75+ Porsche’s to park on their lawn and 200+ people to wander about. I hope we can continue to hold this event at the Faunce’s in the years to come. I believe the board will find the funds in our treasury to purchase or construct a set of low-profile ramps for the bridge crossing so that Bryce doesn’t have to stand duty at the bridge for half the day. Without Bryce’s help, the front spoiler from my 928 would be thrashed. I would like to take this soap box opportunity to thank the many businesses and others who advertise in the Heat Exchanger and who provided sponsorship funds for RPM. The club’s major revenue source over the years has been RPM and these sponsors help us pull this great event off each year. The Heat Exchanger advertisers allow us to provide a very nicely published newsletter each month. I ask that you support these businesses whenever you can, as they greatly support our club. As we head into the heat of summer, check out the upcoming events in the Calendar section. Mark your calendar for Phyllis and Weldon Scrogham’s Garage Mahal tour on the morning of July 19th, followed by another excellent Autocross at the Verona government center. Please RSVP to Phyllis at scrogham@gandw.com by July 15th so she can have a good head count for refreshments. Autocross signup is at www.motorsportsreg.com and greatly helps Erik in the registration process. My wife Jill is not a car person. She is however, more than tolerant of my affliction and has a good time at club events. She likes cars that start every morning and don’t spend a lot of time in the shop. “BB”, my 15-year old 928 GTS, is currently in the “dog house” with Jill as the repair bills and downtime mount. So while at Euroclassics for the RPM Saturday afternoon tech session, I knew she wouldn’t want to hear a technical discussion of the PDK transmission. I suggested she go test drive some cars. The folks at Euroclassics were very helpful and she really liked the Boxster S she drove. That test drive, in conjunction with the extended warranty for Certified Pre-Owned cars offered by PCNA dealers, has her on the lookout for something fun to drive. A late model Boxster or Boxster S in midnight blue metallic and manual transmission is perhaps in her future. Raif Antar, owner of Basil’s Mediterranean Bistro, tells me he is a few months from unveiling his 935, currently under construction at an undisclosed location. Stay tuned for the unveiling and other race car construction news. 6 MEMBERSHIP REPORT Rhonda Dunbrack Primary Members Affiliate Members Total Members 189 156 345 Welcome to the following new members Henry Haefele, Crozet, VA 1957 356 Mark & Gretchen Long, Front Royal, VA 2006 Boxster Rod Marshall-Roth, Charlottesville, VA 1981 911 Charles Volpe, Lexington, VA 1988 Carrera Richard & Leslie Bell, Charlottesville, VA 1986 Carrera John & Karen Witt, Richmond, VA 1973 914 IMPORTANT NOTE: When you receive your membership renewal notice from the PCA national office, please give it a high priority and renew your membership promptly.

A Some day I would like to find a used GT3. It would have to get a lot cheaper than they are now, and my two boys would have to be finished with college, but my 88 will always be a keeper. Q What is your all time favorite Porsche? Me, Laramie and Caleb at Grand Teton National Park in 2007 Q How old are you, Occupation and where do you live? A I am 39 years old. I am a Mechanical Engineer, and I live in Stuarts Draft, VA. Q What was your first automobile? A My first car was a 1981 Chevrolet Citation. It was bright yellow, and was one of the ugliest cars around in the mid 80's. But that car got great gas mileage and got me around. Q What was your 1st Porsche memory? A I remember seeing my 1st 911 when I was 4 years old in St. Louis, and I wanted a Porsche from that moment on. The 1st time that I ever rode in a Porsche was in 1990 in a friend's 1978 924. It seemed like a fast car at the time -- especially compared to a Chevy Citiation. Q What was your first Porsche and your Current Porsche? A They are the same -- I bought a 1988 silver 911 with a burgundy interior 2 and a half years ago. It had 62,000 miles on it and now has 75,000. I took the black rear flare guard off and added Carrera graphics. It is my goal to add a duck tail and bring the appearance of this car back to a 1974 look. Q Why have you chosen your latest Porsche? A I test drove Carreras, 964's, 993's and 2 996's. I liked the styling and driving character of the late 80's Carrera cars the best. Check it Out! Looking for Shenandoah Region PCA logo gear? http://shnpca.webstore.us.com 12 A My favorite Porsche is a 1973 Carrera RS. The tail, larger flares and Carrera graphics is what attracted me to Porsches at a young age. Q What non-Porsche hobbies do you enjoy? A Spending time with my family -- wife Michelle, and sons Laramie - 15 and Caleb 11. Growing up in the St. Louis area made me a Cardinals baseball fan for life. We enjoy watching them play on the road. We will see games in Washington DC and Pittsburgh this year, and I will watch most of the rest on Satellite TV. Our family also enjoys traveling to the historic sites in the area. Q Favorite Driving song? A I am currently listening to an Eagles CD in my 911. It is fitting that the title is "Hell Freezes Over", because that was when I thought that I would be able to get a 911.

Join your hosts Lou Giusto and Stephanie Sheridan to celebrate Shenandoah’s 14th anniversary on Saturday, September 26 at 2:00 p.m. The event will take place at their home, Hawkstead, overlooking the North Fork of the Shenandoah River in Woodstock, VA. Plan to enjoy their treat to us of brats and knockwurst, sautéed onions and sauerkraut, German potato salad, Caesar salad, sautéed fresh apples with crème fraiche, and assorted snacks and beverages. (By the way, Lou is a professional chef.) If you prefer stronger drink, you may BYOB. Of course, we will round out the celebration with a birthday cake.
