SHENANDOAH REGION

Rolex 24 at Daytona – Live Streamed at Pro Re Nata Brewery & Taphouse
2022-01-29 08:00 - 17:00 UTC
Pro Re Nata in Crozet, VA welcomed the region with a wonderful reception. They agreed to purchase Peacock + (exclusive live stream source for IMSA) to accommodate a region get together on Saturday, January 29. We had snow over night which was a concern, but we only had 1” or less. The roads were clear and the group had a terrific time. Pro Re Nata owner, John Scheob, is a car guy and visits VIR every year for the IMSA Michelin GT Challenge race. John has invited us back to view the IMSA races for 2022.

We had the Canas’s from Fairfax, Virginia drive down for our event. They saw the event posting on motorsportreg and decided to join us. They are Potomac Region members and said they would very much like to participate in our drives this year. We welcomed them and will look forward to having them back.
This was a great gathering for the end of January. We hope you will join us on March 19 for the 12 hours of Sebring race.

Mount Ida Winery & Taphouse

What a spectacular day for the first weekend in March. Early March can be
risky planning an outdoor event in Virginia. This was our second social
gathering for 2022 and the weather gods were looking out for our region. Mount
Ida proved to be a beautiful venue south of Charlottesville in Scottsville,
VA. Dan Graff suggested we place this destination on our calendar. This was a
two part endeavor. Our first stop on the Mount Ida grounds was the Craft
Cville presents Galentine’s Redo Pop Up Market. The women crafters of
Charlottesville were displaying and selling their creative work. The level of
artistic talent was very apparent. After perusing the craft displays, members
drove to the Winery and Taphouse. The beverages were delicious and everyone
enjoyed the culinary selection.
Those members sitting with David and Susana Weber were invited to play croquet
at their home upon departing Mount Ida. The Webers transferred to the
Shenandoah Region from the Northeast after finding Virginia to be such a
wonderful place to settle. They love croquet and have a professional croquet
course. Those in attendance all thought they knew how to play croquet until
they played with the Webers. What a wonderful experience to cap an already
fantastic day.

Members enjoying a spectacular March afternoon.

Merrie Mill Farm and Winery

New member, Cecile Graziano stopped in at Merrie Mill Farm returning from our March 27 driving tour in Orange and Madison Counties. Cecile felt the venue was worth a visit by the Shenandoah members. We have not done many events on a weeknight, but we thought we would give it a try. We began at 5:30 PM on Friday evening with registrations for the event reaching capacity early in the week. The objective was a venue we could mingle and socialize. The second-floor balcony was reserved for our group which provided a gorgeous view looking west over the vineyard and the mountains. We had nothing short of perfect weather to complement the evening. Merrie Mill had live music playing on the ground level. The winery brings in food trucks to compliment their offerings. Friday, we were treated to Salty Bottom Blue Oysters from Gwynn’s Island, Virginia. Their selection was either roasted or raw oysters on the half shell. The oysterman was actually shucking the oysters. The oyster lovers in the group were in heaven! A fantastic evening was had and something we will need to do again.

Tech Session - LED Lighting for Classic Porsches

Region members were provided a very in depth and interesting session on exterior and dash lighting by fellow member Engelbert Meulhaupt. Engelbert has been assembling LED lighting kits to retrofit into classic Porsches for 8 years. He has determined the correct LED for each application. To our amazement, he also has an LED manufacturer producing to his specifications. The kits he provides are all pre- engineered with complete instructions.They are literally plug and play.
We were given demonstrations on the different headlight illumination systems over the many years lighting has evolved. Engelbert has built a Porsche gauge display showing the level of illumination of the original incandescent bulbs and the engineered LED systems. When it comes to taillights, we learned that amber and red must be the color of the LED, not a clear bulb as with used with incandescent lighting combined with a colored lens.

Tech Session - Madison Automotive Apprentice Program (MAAP)
2022-08-28 08:00 - 17:00
By: John Odden
The Executive Director of MAAP, Cole Scrogham, invited the members of the Shenandoah Region to a tech session at their facility in Harrisonburg, VA. We had an excellent turnout for an outstanding overview of what is involved in a Porsche pre-purchase inspection, commonly referred to as a PPI. When considering the purchase of a pre-owned Porsche, many levels of uncertainty exist. Was the car a garage queen, a daily driver, a track car or a weekend pleasure vehicle. How many previous owners? Are all of the maintenance records available? Does a scan of the ECU indicate any over-revs and if so, in which gears. Is the vehicle properly represented with it’s history and documentation relative to origin. These are all questions we anguish over when considering a pre-owned Porsche. Anything overlooked can have a major impact on the actual and proper valuation of the car.
Cole broke down the components of a proper PPI. Having had a lifelong exposure to Porsches places him at the level of expert. He explained the basics of paint, suspension, interior and engine. There are factory welds on the front fender that are an indicator of a fender replacement if ground off. He shared that certain model years of 911’s will not show consistent paint thickness on the doors compared to the other body components. Cole noted that a paint thickness meter is an important tool, however, one must know the historical methods Porsche used over the years so as not to ascertain a deviation as a problem.
Our session was spectacular and I know everyone gained knowledge from Cole’s expertise.

Flow Porsche of Charlottesville Launches the New 911
2024-04-07 08:00 - 17:00
Flow Porsche of Charlottesville sponsored the new 911 launch event at the scenic King Family Vineyards on the evening of April 7. Several dozen Porsche fans, many of them Shenandoah Region PCA members, braved the fickle sunny/windy/rainy weather to socialize, drink some King Family wine, eat munchies, and see the new 911 for the first time. Click here to see the photo gallery covering this event.
To meet new European limits on fuel consumption and CO2 emission, all new Porsche 911 Carreras (model 991.2) have 3.0 liter turbo engines instead of the old 3.4 liter or 3.8 liter normally aspirated engines. The new turbos have only slightly more peak horsepower but significantly higher mid-range torque, so they should be much livelier for normal road use. Later this year, most Boxsters and Caymans will switch over to 2.0 liter (regular model) or 2.5 liter (S model) four-cylinder turbos. Again, the power increase will be small but the torque increase should improve performance in everyday use.
The evening concluded with a raffle drawing for several prizes, the best of which is a free Porsche Driving Experience at the new Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta.

About this event

Join us for a driving tour from Charlottesville to Dominion Raceway through some amazing back roads of Central Virginia. We will meet at the Giant Food Parking lot, 1900 Abbey Rd, Charlottesville, VA 22911 at 10:00am and depart at 10:30am, arriving at Dominion Raceway in Spotsylvania at 12:30pm. Lunch will be on your own between 1:00-1:30pm.

The Track Attack starts at 4:15pm in the classroom and is a Dominion sponsored event, NOT a PCA event, and requires a separate registration. In short, Track Attack is driving on the race course, behind a pace car, with no passing allowed, at speeds a bit higher than what you might be able to do legally on the street.
The cost for a brief classroom discussion, and 3 – 15 minute sessions is only $99. Helmets are not required, and if you can drive on the street without hitting the guard rails, you can have a blast at Track Attack. It is NOT a High Performance Driver Education event (HPDE). But it will create some awesome memories!
Here is the link to register for the Track Attack which will fill up soon and is limited to 20 participants:
Track Attack 6/8/24 SAT. JUN. 8, 2024 @ 4:30 PM – 6:15 PM ET
