PCA Chesapeake’s Tour and Rally Committee and Concours Committee held a joint undertaking on Sept. 5th – the Porsche Heritage Concours &Tour. It was our 10th Tour and Rally event of the year. The day started out with a bit of unsettled weather, but 39 people in 28 Porsches showed up as the morning unfolded. Porsches from every decade since the 1960s were represented. PCA member Skip Conrey kindly provided the Marriottsville venue. He had hosted three previous Chesapeake events at his wonderful Valhalla Farm, including the 50th Chesapeake Challenge, in 2019. A breakfast of coffee, doughnuts and bagels was furnished by Concours Co-Chair Doug Ehmann and wife Francesca. Doug then held a concours judging school for event participants. During his educational presentation, Doug was assisted by fellow Concours Co-Chair Ron Gordon and a number of experienced concours judges. After the seminar, Doug gave the attendees their judging assignments, dividing them into six groups. Of the 23 cars that appeared on the show field, 18 were categorized among six classes and judged. The whole exercise was meant to serve as a warm up for the Chesapeake Challenge Concours to be held on Oct. 23rd. For more details, please read Doug’s article on the concours portion of this event.
