Observation Report for April 7th 2024
Twenty-four hours before the celestial spectacle of the total eclipse, the CNYPCA congregated to inaugurate the opening of Watkins Glen Speedway in their signature style – with a spirited rally. Despite a crisp chill in the air, the sun radiated warmth and brightness, setting the perfect tone for the occasion. Gathering at Kohls in Ithaca, twenty vehicles convened where the day’s regulations and routes were meticulously outlined. A diverse array of Porsches, ranging from the classic 914 to the timeless 911s, adorned the gathering. Notably, the convoy was led by an unconventional “cousin,” the Audi R8, adding a dash of variety to the mix. Blessed with picturesque routes winding through the majestic mountains between Watkins Glen and Ithaca, the kickoff to the 2024 season couldn’t have been more auspicious. Upon arrival at Watkins Glen Speedway, the group was greeted with open arms and whisked on an exhilarating tour of the race track. With a blend of novice enthusiasts and seasoned drivers, the convoy followed the pace car with gusto, embodying the essence of those fortunate enough to grace Watkins Glen’s hallowed grounds. Undoubtedly, this spirited start marks the beginning of yet another remarkable year for CNYPCA enthusiasts.

2021 EuroCar Show
Fathers’ Day this year was hot but man, the cars were really cool! The EuroCar Show had about 350 cars on display at the Lafayette Apple Festival venue. The EuroCar Club had the most cars on display but CNYPCA got the award for Most Cars from Another Club! We got a blue ribbon for showing up with our 35 different Porsches. And to top it off, CNY member Jim Rockdashil, of Constantia, NY won the European Pre-1996 concour event with his pristine 1986 Guards Red 944 Turbo. Way to go Jim! He led the winners’ parade. Other first-place ribbons to Porsches were: Brad Hall for air-cooled models and Jeanette Malfitano for water-cooled models. The CNYPCA logo was well displayed and mentioned by the announcer as he thanked all the organizations that helped to sponsor the event. The Apple Festival Venue was a great place to hold this event. I have a hunch it’ll be there again next year as well. If you missed it this year, you missed a good one but next year will be better. The EuroCar Club is already starting to plan for next year.
