Alden Sherman Classic - Weston, CT - Sept 22, 2013
Early S fans, for your consideration...
This is the second year for this show. Last year's version was a huge success. The organizers are active in the local Porsche community and wish to extended a special welcome to all Porsche owners.
If members are spectating at the show and want to bring a Porsche, there is a special car corral for us. Porsche drivers who desire corral parking should please pm me by Sept 15 so that I can tell the event organizers how many of us to expect.
Thanks! ds
