Tech Inspection

Hi Schattenbaum Members!

Welcome to March. It’s cold today, but temperature forecasts are heading up.  Nicer days for driving are coming, including our first Driver’s Education event at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville. That’s on the weekend of March 22-23.

All drivers who are registered for this DE must have a tech safety inspection in order to get on the track. For Schattenbaum members who are registered, the club will be hosting a free tech session at Bonomotors from 11-2 pm on Saturday, March 15th to perform the necessary safety inspection. You must be registered for the event to have your car put on a lift and looked over. We will not be performing any other services at this time.

Please confirm if you intend to attend by calling or e-mailing Mike Bono in advance. His contact information is below.

In other news, we will have our regular member meeting on Thursday, March 20. Members will be discussing their experiences buying, owning, and even selling water-cooled Porsche cars, from the 996 on.  More details will be coming. 

Hope you can join us at the meeting and at the track. You’re always welcome to attend a DE event, as a driver on the track or a spectator in the stands.

New Members and Planning Meeting

Our first member meeting of the year was on January 16 at the main facility at Valenzano Winery. In spite of the snowy weather, we had a great turnout, including a dozen new members to the region.

In addition to welcoming new members, this meeting introduced the incoming Schattenbaum Board and discussed plans for the upcoming year, including our Driver’s Education program, concours events, and social calendar.

Good Food

Members enjoyed the food and hospitality. Judging from the bill, a few sampled wine too!

 

 

Our next meeting will be on February 20, also at Valenzano Winery. Hope to see you there.
