He really has done a great job of revitalizing Pano. Between Excellance and Pano, I can enjoy plenty Porsche related articles.

I do wonder if PCA National is having issues as the annual Parade seems to have more drama than necessary (registration, housing, etc.), though they did a great job of moving the concour site at the last minute at French Lick.

No drama, just smart planning. The mid-atlantic/northeast is where the bulk of PCA membership lives. Even though there was over 750 rooms, we wanted the members to know as soon as possible if there would be an issue with finding housing. Better to find out in December than April, right?

The Parade crew is an amazing group of volunteers who do a job that would exceed that of a paid staff (passion is always the driving force). Heck, I was the Zone 2 DE registrar for seven years. That was one event and 250 cars AND a whole heck of a lot of work (over 400 emails for each year)....can't imagine how the Parade registrar does it with over 1000 entrants each year.

Well,
Who could have known that the venue would come under investigation from both state and federal law enforcement, as well as the SEC....
It's a sad situation up there, I hope the parade staff get it all straightened out.

Sadly there are many more stories behind this...
It was an ugly scam.
