2009 Central PA PCA
Porsche-Only Swap Meet
Hershey Park, Hershey PA, April 25, 2009
The Central PA Region of the Porsche Club of America is once again bringing its world-famous Porsche-Only Swap Meet to Hershey, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, April 25th, 2009. This is without exaggeration the largest event of its kind on the planet. It typically brings nearly 650 vendors, around 1,000 Porsches, and over 6,000 visitors together in Hershey every year. (In 2003 the long-distance award went to a 968 driver from Albuquerque, NM!)
If you’re seeking an obscure Porsche or an obscure part for your Porsche, this is your best chance to find it.
Every dealer and Porsche packrat in a 250-mile radius will be bringing their odds and ends for sale or swap. You’ll see exotic Porsches found nowhere this side of Stuttgart, and Porsche personalities ranging from PCA muckety-mucks to (sometimes) celebrities like Jerry Seinfeld. We’ll once again be featuring a People’s Choice Concours on Saturday, and a Sunday Autocross on the same site. So come Saturday for your parts, install ’em Saturday night, and run ’em Sunday!
People’s Choice Concours
This charity event is designed as a People’s Choice. Voting ballots for Swap attendees will be available at the “People’s Choice” headquarters at the head of the Concours parking area. The ballot instructs voters to select their favorite participating Porsche, in each of eight Award Categories, from those vehicles registering for the event. All Porsches driven to the Swap and parked in the Concours parking area are eligible for this event.It’s that easy. Winners receive trophies and an assortment of swag well in excess of the price of admission -- just $10! You’re going to park your Porsche at the Swap anyway—why not win a Concours while you’re at it?
Swap Autocross, same site, Sunday April 26th
That’s right, motorheads. The hottest autocross course east of the Mississippi is open for business. This is your chance to quit telling everyone how good you are and prove it, on the largest single paved area in the state of Pennsylvania. Assuming you aren’t driving your mom’s Hyundai, you can build up a respectable head of steam on our long straightaways—but the real test comes when it’s time to turn the wheel. (You know how to do more than just step on the gas, right, Speed Racer?)
Porsche Caravans welcome!
You say your Porsche model is the coolest ever made? You've gone so far as to find a whole bunch of other owners of the same model? And now you all run together like wolves in a pack? You’re our kind of Porscher! It doesn’t matter if your group is based on a Porsche model, a PCA Region, a bunch of friends, or however you define it. Just let us know you’re coming and how many are in your group. We'll arrange a parking area just for you and your party! (Minimum 10 cars, please.) The 968 Club typically brings 30 or so cars alone! Are you air-cooled guys gonna let a bunch of water-pumpers dominate the Swap?
