I went to one a few years ago. It's a good way to see the people running the local PCA group. Nothing spectacular but worth a trip if you have nothing else going on that night.

So it sounds like its mostly just for schmoozing. Thanks Dan.

....and its been cancelled.

The summer picnic is a good event. June 26th, I think.

Funny thing,, I was invited to Summit Point this Sat by the local Jaguar Dealers for a free day on the track, breakfast and buffet lunch. There is a vintage race (afternoon) and individual driving of the Jag of your choice on the Jefferson Circuit all day long. I will chose the 390 hp XR.

Anyone been to this event in the past? I got an invite in the mail last month and decided it was something to do,, especially for free.

I went to the Seneca Park picnic a few yrs back and its a good time. A mini concours and a great spread. Don't OD on all that good cooking tho, there is plenty of food. So, if you are a PCA member be sure to go. It may be open to all Porsche owners.

Thanks for posting my fun run pics!!!

Gill, did you get the 993 delivered yet? I am waiting for my call pal...

See you all soon, Cabman

Cabman:

I have been in the paddock when the "taxi service" for those invited to the jag test want to return to the hospitality tent (conveniently located in the hot paddock). :evil:


This year, I will have NO MERCY for the idot mini-van drivers they have shuttling people back and forth. This is a large race event with race cars flying all around the paddock and the shuttle drivers .... well let me just stop there. :lol:

Probably the WORST situational awareness I've ever seen by a group of drivers ...above and beyond what I see on the beltway.

Now, Re: jags

My family (in CT) just picked up an '04 Type S R Supercharged 4.2 V8. Nice car. I think it is the one with 390 hp. My father already stopped driving it b/c WAY TOO MUCH HP for a race driver on the go on the street. Mind you, in CT you can speed as many of the roads there have traffic that actually moves. :wink:

Better check the Potomac website! The newcomers party is canceled. Intersports parking lot is getting repaved. I think the plan is to have all come to the picnic

Jace: Thanks for the info on the Jaguar Event. I am going just to see what it's all about and I bet there is a lot of confusion with the Vintage Race and the testing of Jags going on at the same time. I am not sure how complicated that gets.

But I hope its a positive experience. Besides, I get to take the 911 from Annandale to Summit Point and back which is always exciting. Route 9 in WV is hilly and windy and in the early am is fun to drive.

Having never driven a XR 390 turbo I want to experience it first hand and compare it to the 996. I know that do not retain value after 2 years, you can get one for peanuts so they must not be too reliable. Anyway, I will let the board know how this venture turned out after Saturday...

TGIF (its 4:27 am but still a good day),, Cabman
