Four spots have opened due to cancellati ons! &rarr\;\n(The Cliff House remains fully booked)\n\nWhat is NER’s An nual Spring Ramble\, aside from the obvious: 140+ Porsches (some Ramblers do drive vehicles other than Porsches)\, good friends\, good food and a we ekend at a top-notch resort hotel? You’ll arrive Friday (or earlier at o ur inviting rate)\, meet up with other early arrivers if you’re one\, an d begin your social and partying activities.\nThere are plenty of activiti es on the property and nearby including The Spa at Cliff House (request ou r 10% discount)\, the indoor pool\, golf across the street at Cape Neddick Country Club (weather permitting)\, the shops and galleries in nearby Ogu nquit\, hikes of varying levels of difficulty in the surrounding countrysi de\, the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge\, and plenty of outlet sto res to visit in nearby Kittery if that strikes your fancy.\nOur Overall Ev ent Sponsor is once again European Performance Engineering in Natick\, MA. Give these talented folks a call at (508) 651-1316 for anything from an o il change to a full street-to-track conversion. Or visit their website at www.epe.com.\nOn Friday from 6:00–7:15 p.m.\, see old friends and meet s ome new PCA’ers at the Welcome Reception – sponsored by Porsche of War wick. We’ll be in the Oceanview Terrace Salon serving complimentary ligh t hors d’oeuvres and snacks along with a cash bar. So please stop by\, p ick up your name tag\, and say hello before you head out for dinner on you r own. There are lots of great restaurants in both York and Ogunquit (rese rvations are recommended) offering various cuisines and price points\, or you can choose to eat on the property casually at Nubb’s Lobster Shack o r in The Tillers Restaurant for finer dining.\nOn Saturday morning\, regis tration will be open from 7:00–8:30 a.m. in the Cape Neddick Salon\, wit h continental breakfast continuing until 9:00 a.m. The mandatory drivers a nd passengers safety and route briefing will convene at 8:45 a.m.\, after which drivers will head out on a self-guided tour to our lunch destination in Plymouth\, NH via the scenic back roads of Maine and New Hampshire.\nF or those of you who are interested in driving your car on a race track\, w e’ve arranged to do parade laps at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudo n! When you register online\, you’ll be able to select this option for o nly $30/car ($5 going to Homes for our Troops\, the club’s chosen charit y). You’ll have the opportunity to drive 5 laps behind a pace car at hig hway speeds during the lunch break of the motorcycle races that will be ho sted by the track that weekend. If you’ve never driven through the tunne l to enter the active paddock of a track during a race day\, it’s really quite a special experience – not to mention the exhilaration of driving the track itself.\nFollowing the buffet lunch\, you’ll embark on anothe r enjoyable back road\, self-guided tour heading back to the Cliff House\, which includes the breathtaking Kancamangas Highway. Or\, if you prefer t o get back sooner to begin your partying\, massage\, hike or whatever\, si mply take the more direct route that will also be provided.\nFor you first timers – a hearty welcome. Your registration packet will include a deta iled route to and from our lunch stop\, that my wife Carol and I have trav elled many times\, revising and correcting along the way. Unlike many grou p tours\, we drive on our own (not as a convoy) though usually you’ll fi nd yourself part of a multi-car pod. Make a pit stop\, or pull off to take a photo when you want\, and pick up the next pod coming down the road. Wa nt to spend time with some different Porsche models of varying configurati ons and colors? Just pull off and join the next pod to come along. However \, if you do decide to take an extended off-route excursion\, you will hav e “officially” left the tour for insurance purposes.\nAt 6:00 p.m. Sat urday evening\, we’ll meet for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the Oce anview Terrace Salon\, followed by a plated dinner in the Atlantic Ballroo m\, and more socializing on your own after dinner. From 7:00–10:00 a.m. Sunday morning\, a full\, hot\, buffet breakfast will be served back in th e Atlantic Ballroom\, after which you’re on your own again to head home\ , or stay longer and enjoy the charms of southern Maine.\nRemember\, this is a Tour\, and we expect you to follow all the laws and regulations perta ining to the public roadways we’ll be traveling. We’ll be on many narr ow\, 2-lane roads\, so please give pedestrians and bicyclers a wide berth. If you have the urge to exercise your Porsche more fully\, we would highl y recommend attending one of the many Driver’s Education or Autocross ev ents hosted by the Northeast Region. Imprudent or dangerous driving behavi or will not be tolerated during the Ramble. \n\n Unless you like being on a waitlist\, register early for one of the 150 rooms in our block.
