P2O SET TO ATTRACT RECORD CROWD
PORSCHES2OXFORD SET TO ATTRACT RECORD CROWD
On Saturday July 26th, upwards of 350 shiny Porsches are expected to line the quaint brick streets of uptown Oxford. P2O registrar Marty Reich said, “As of June 10th, we are running more than sixty percent ahead of this same time last year”. Cars are coming from as far away as Florida -- with registrants coming from 17 states and Canada.
Marketed by Mid-Ohio Region Porsche Club as a ‘casual Porsche party’, P2O is celebrating its fourth year in Oxford after two years in Pinckney Michigan. In 2007 more than 250 Porsches attended this nationally recognized event. Co-chairperson Brice Kadel said, “MORPCA has gotten a lot of great publicity in the last year for hosting a great event in a unique venue. The fact that PCA National President Prescott Kelly and his wife Pam are returning again this year for the second time speaks volumes about P2O. The Kelly’s have the opportunity to attend ten PCA events each weekend in the summer and the fact that they are attending P2O two years in a row is a testimonial to what’s been created.”
Returning again for a third year as a major sponsor is Griot’s Garage of Tocoma Washington. Cincinnati’s Beechmont Porsche is returning for their second year. Autobahn Extremists of Rocky River have graciously agreed to be the third major sponsor this year. All three major sponsors will have product displays. Local sponsors include EPR Automotive, Edward Jones (Mike Doseck), L. Lynn Reich State Farm Insurance, Landers and Associates, and The Peoples Savings Bank.
The registration fee is only $20 per car and includes a goodie bag, event T-shirt, and event poster. “All proceeds from this event are reinvested back into the event in the form of door prizes – enabling us to award more than $3000 worth of great Porsche goodies again this year!”, commented Kadel.
For those spending Friday night in Oxford, there will be a pre-P2O party at the Smokin’ Ox restaurant located in the N.E. corner of the uptown Oxford area beginning at 6:00 p.m.
On Sunday morning, there will again be a ‘fun rally/tour’ that is professionally handled by Scenic Road Rallies. A separate fee is required to participate. Those interested in participating are encouraged to register soon -- as space is limited.
