May 16th-18th - Schattenbaum Region Hosts 24th Annual Zone 1 Concours and 6th Annual Zone 1 Rally. On May 16 – 18, 2003 the Schattenbaum Region will host the Zone 1 Concours and Rally in Princeton, New Jersey. As the southernmost PCA region in Zone 1, Schattenbaum hopes to attract the usual complement of participants from Zone 1 plus many of the enthusiasts from the nearby regions of Zone 2. Together, the regional draw will likely end up in one of the largest Porsche only Concours in the United States. Weekend activities will include a fully judged Concours (no undercarriages, but wheel wells), a “peoples choice” car show (wash and shine), a rally though the countryside of Central New Jersey and after an absence of many years, an old fashioned swap meet. According to Henry Hoeh, the Zone 1 Representative, “the weekend will focus on competition, fun, socializing, and charitable fund raising.” Schattenbaum will continue the Zone 1 tradition with all excess proceeds benefiting Paul Newman’s Hole in the Wall Gang Camp (facilities and programs aimed to benefit seriously ill children)

Weekend activities include:
• Friday evening welcoming reception sponsored by Princeton Porsche, the area’s newest dealership.
• Saturday rally through rural and historic Central NJ. (time, speed, distance)
• Saturday car preparation for the Concours.
• Saturday morning swap meet at Princeton Forrestal Village
• Saturday shuttle bus service to downtown Princeton and Princeton University
• Saturday evening cocktail party, dinner, and rally awards. The guest speaker will be Leonard Turner, the Chief Photographer for Panorama. Leonard will present a slide show of his best photographs. The evening will be sponsored by Ray Catena Porsche.
• Sunday Concours d’Elegance on the lawn of the Sarnoff Corporation’s Research Center. (located about 3 miles down the road from the host hotel)
• On site sales pavilion, and lots of great food and drink.

The host hotel for the weekend will be the Doral Forrestal nestling the woods off of Route 1 in Princeton. The Doral is the finest hotel in the Princeton area with its Scandinavian architecture, a full spa, tennis center, indoor pool, gourmet food and a great pub for socializing. Best of all, the Doral Forrestal will have a dedicated parking lot with water and electricity for concours preparation. The weekend package for Porsche people will include a buffet breakfast each morning and a discount on spa services. To book a reservation, please call the Doral Forrestal at 609-452-7800 and ask for the Porsche Concours and Rally weekend rate.

Mileage points for driving will be awarded in the Judged Concours category. The registration forms for the concours and the rally are available on line at the Zone 1 web site (www.pca.org/zone1) or by contacting Donna Paterek, Event Registrar. Donna may be reached at 973-635-5918 or paterek@aol.com

Region Host: Larry Schmidt, 609-883-1242 or larryschmidt@att.net

Rally Coordinator: Bob Michaelson, 973-492-2014 or cupcar@optonline.net

Concours Head Judge: John Paterek, 973-635-5918 or paterek@aol.com

I was at a swap/show last year there and it was small. But this could be big cuz of the Zone 1 affair drawing a lot of interest. Very well run region, too.
