More Details:

As driving enthusiasts, what would be better than fusing fast cars with fast aircraft? Porsche at the Air and Space Museum is such an event. In the A.M., we'll have a private tour of the new museum featuring famed aircraft such as the SR-71 Blackbird, the Concord, a MiG 21, a B-29, the Space Shuttle Enterprise and much more. After the Museum, we'll exercise our Porsches throught the backroads of VA (the drive will be about 75 miles), then have lunch at Bonefish Grill in Gainesville. Bonefish was nice enough to give us reserved parking and the whole bar area to host the lunch. Plus, we will be watching LeMans with Steve McQueen. There is no registration fee. Hope to see you there. If you have any question, call Kevin Sims at 703 830-4285 or email him at porsche_driving_club@yahoo.com

Event Presented by the Porsche Driving Club. No Politics, Just Driving.

Kevin, I'll show up for the air & space museum part of the day's events. If I want to drive directly to the museum (10 minutes from where I live), is there a part of the parking lot that will be a good place for me to meet up with you guys? Thanks and see you tomorrow.

Jim,

Yes its ok to just do the Museum part. We will be parked on the far side of the parking lot. After you pass the entrance gates just go straight back and we will be there. The tour starts at exactly 10:30am

See you there,

Kevin
