Of the 11 tours and rallies planned for 2017 by the Tour & Rally Committee of PCA's Chesapeake Region, our premier event was the June 2 to 4 West Virginia Grand Tour. Participants drove on twisty and scenic back roads through Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, and Washington counties in Maryland as we headed toward West Virginia. We spent two nights at the Stonewall Resort in Roanoke, WV, dined at The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, had a barbecue party in Chuck Goldsborough’s historic Annamede Mansion, ate lunch in a mountainside Swiss restaurant, and enjoyed driving our Porsches to the hilt on some of West Virginia’s most awesome back roads and mountain roads. Forty-four members in 23 cars took part in the fun. One participant described the BBQ party as “beyond belief," no doubt partly because of the spectacular fireworks unleashed as soon as the sky turned dark.

Altogether, this three-day event involved 962 miles of driving, from the starting point at the Collectors Car Corral in Owings Mills, MD, to the concluding dinner at The Main Cup in Middletown, MD. Including the trip from home and back, practically all the participants drove more than 1,000 miles -- the length of the Mille Miglia.
