Porsche 917 Demo Day at the Simeone Museum! Saturday April 6

Porsche 917 Demo Day at the Simeone Museum

I hope everyone is well and as excited as I am for the spring season! Our next event will be at the Simeone Museum on Saturday April 6, 2024 for their Demo day, which includes bringing out their Porsche 917! Demo days are a regular occurrence at the Simeone, but it is rare that the 917 comes out and is driven around! It is part of the presentation of the Homologation of STOCK cars/RACE cars that the museum will be presenting that day and I highly recommend attending . You will be able to see the car up close and take great photos. We we will have reserved parking so we can park all of our cars together as well as access to the full museum. Since there is a limited amount of parking, I will need to give the museum an idea of how many cars and people to expect, so I will need you to respond to nkatsikis@comcast.net and let me know if you plan to attend and how many are in your party by Friday, March 29th. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing you there!

Schattenbaum Summer Tour

Schattenbaum Summer Tour: the Lobster Run

Our annual favorite, the Lobster Run, was another success! The event sold out, and this year, thanks to Rob and Kim Lerman, we had two tour groups again.

The south group was rather large, but we all arrived at Bar Anticipation in time for a delicious lunch! A massive downpour close to the shore didn’t dampen our spirits and once at the restaurant, guests enjoyed a drink on the club with their choice of entrees and a good time was had by all!

If you missed this fun event, it will be held again next year, make sure to sign up early. Thanks to all who participated, it’s the people that make our social events fun and entertaining!

Our next social will be the annual Oktoberfest, details will follow. And don’t miss out on the “big” one, the Holiday Banquet on December 2nd, a great way to close out a year that was filled with many great activities, hope to see you all soon!

Meet our Treasurer

Meet our Treasurer Tom Stolz

I became a member with PCA Schattenbaum in 2015, when a Club member invited me down to a DE. I thought it looked like a blast, driving around the track as fast as I could, with no police and radar traps…what could be better?! 

Not really certain where my love for Porsches began, but after graduating from college in 1977, and getting my first full time job with a public accounting firm, I bought my first day driver, a 1976 BMW 2002. Soon after, I bought a 1976 911S with a credit card, as my sunny day car. I drove that thing all over America, from Key West, to LA, to San Fran and Yosemite, to Oregon, and back. Marriage, kids, and becoming a CPA in 1982 was a “fun car” detour, until 2014 when a Club member suggested it was time for a fun car again, a Carrera S. Everyone in the group at the track warned me of the slippery slope, that became a spec Boxster and trailer, and a Macan. Then I circled back around to using a single car, a 2007 Cayman S.

The common thread through this journey has been working as a practicing CPA, and having an accounting office in Flemington for years, so I thought I would like to be helpful and give back a bit, with a stint as Schattenbaum treasurer. As a member, its all about paying this fun forward and keeping the spirit alive, so I’m happy to join in and help.
