AT NATIONAL CONCOURS

By Dave Sunderhaft

Our ‘92 968 Cabriolet was awarded 2nd place in Class at the National Porsche Parade Concours.  The Class consisted of 924s, 968s, 944s and 968s judged for Preservation. The Preservation Classes at Concours are judged based on originality, use, and presentation. Parade concours also has classes for Restoration and Presentation. Unlike those classes where judging is done on a demerit point system, Preservation is judged more subjectively comparing totality of one car’s originality, use, and preparation against the others in the class.

Our 968 fell a bit short in originality in that it lacked the original radio and the locking lug nuts.

As to Use, the winner was a 924. It was an original family-owned car from new that included pictures of the presenter detailing the car when he was 7 years old. While we have owned our car for 9 years and have driven it over 20,000 miles, [...]

Our region to the north, IRPCA, planned a wonderful Memorial Day weekend which included a dinner, drive and wine tasting. And they invited our region. What could be better?

On Saturday evening we had an excellent dinner at Ovation restaurant in St. George, prepared by IRPCA member Jeremy Lawrence, who is the executive chef. Sunday, we met up and headed on a non-interstate route, which took us through Colorado City, and Hilldale UT. Then we took a road less traveled with beautiful scenery skirting the Coral Pink Sand Dunes area. Lunch in Kanab included a wonderful buffet in a rustic atmosphere.

On the way back to St. George we couldn’t resist stopping at the Water Canyon Winery. Owners Shane and Kalie Tooke rolled out the red carpet (and wine) for us. They have developed an excellent product. Their challenge is to produce enough wine for the high demand.

A special thanks to [...]
