WHERE: Pasadena, MD
REGISTRATION: Will open 7:00 PM EST Friday August 9th on Club Registration www.clubregistration.net Note that this is not your PCA account. If you do not have a Club Registration account, then you should set one up in advance of the registration day as our Garage Crawls sellout very quickly. You will need to register every driver and passenger who will take part in this event. This event will be limited to 50 people. If you have any questions contact the Tech Chairs, Randy Richter and Jim Earlbeck, at tech@pcachs.org
Chesapeake’s Garage Crawls are extremely popular for many great reasons. Sure, the cars the fantastic, but more uniquely the Garage Crawls give us the chance to see what a person values in a car and to contemplate why it is important to them. Often it will make you reflect on what is meaningful to you. The Garage Crawls also allow us to see how others embrace the automotive lifestyle. This Crawl promises to deliver on all fronts. We will be visiting a singular collection of more than 140 cars! They include numerous rare high-performance Chevrolets, Lamborghinis, McLarens, Cobras, Vipers, Aston Martins and Packards. While Porches did not make the cut in this gentleman’s collection, I do not think that you will be disappointed. If time allows, we may be able to view his collection of vintage wooden hull racing boats.
This Garage Crawl is a singular Pasadena venue that has several separate buildings that are all within walking distance of each other. To preserve the privacy of the collection, neither the owner’s name nor the location will be announced in advance. Only those that have registered through Club Registration will be provided the address of our gathering location. Plan on being at the Pasadena area gathering location at 8:15AM Saturday September 7th. At 8:30AM there will be a launch meeting at the gathering location in which the attendees will be provided with directions to the Garage Crawl venue. This event will not include Tech’s usual coffee, donuts or gift certificate. The launch meeting will also review the rules of this event which include-
- No public release of the address of the facility
- No public release of photos and/or videos. That includes not only the cars and boats, but the inside and outside of the facilities. Attendees are permitted to take photos, but only for their personal use.
- No public release of the owner’s name- either first or last.
- No public release of the types of cars or memorabilia.
- No food or drink at the facility.
There is nothing new about these rules for our Garage Crawl events. Our ability to have future Garage Crawls depends on our ability to treat each facility with the respect that it deserves. Please remember that you are visiting someone’s home. While this may not be where they live, it is their home, it is where their heart is. We are their guests.
As a reminder, Tech will be charging a modest fee for this and all future events. This is not an attempt to turn these events into a profit center; however, there is a need to recoup the money that is spent for the $250 gift certificate that is given away at a hosting vendor’s facilities and the coffee and donuts that are typically provided at the venues.
Your Tech committee would like to have more Garage Crawls, especially on the Eastern Shore, but we need your help. Please inform us if you know of any garage(s) that would suitable. They do not have to be a singular super collection like this one. Stringing together a few garages makes for an enjoyable morning as well.
