2009 Concours d’Elegance of the Eastern United States  
RTR has been invited again to attend The 20[sup]th[/sup] Annual Concours d’Elegance of the Eastern United States in Bethlehem, PA, as part of their Car Club section.  The event occurs on Sunday, May 31, 2009.  This Concours benefits the Burn Prevention Foundation, and brings together a first class showfield of cars, including pre-war and post-war classics and sports and racing cars.  This 20[sup]th[/sup] anniversary year brings back past show award winning cars, including a Porsche 901 prototype you won’t want to miss.  In addition, Janet Guthrie of Indianapolis 500 fame is the Grand Marshall and will be on site.  Overall it should be a fabulous showfield and event.  More information on the show can be found at http://www.concourseast.org
 
As with our gathering there in 2008, the Concours is held at Northampton Community College (3835 Green Pond Road, Bethlehem, PA).  This year, we will not be receiving complimentary tickets, however we are able to purchase tickets at a discounted price of $10.00/pp.  Tickets will be distributed at our meeting spot and funds will be collected at that time.   As we did last year, the group will park together in a reserved location in the Car Club section and we can enjoy the day with our RTR friends, our Porsches, and the show field cars. 
 
We need to provide the show organizers with the total number of RTR cars by May 15 so that an appropriate parking area can be designated for us.  ** Please contact Pete Cheplick at 610-393-0030 or pcheplick@yahoo.com by May 15 if you will be attending and indicate how many people will be joining you.
