The 2003 DER Ice-Cream Run

What better an excuse to fire up the Porsche?

By Larry Theut

 The sun finally broke through the persistent overcast, and DER club members from Kennebunk to Boothbay Harbor met in Yarmouth on the evening of June 20^th for the annual DER Ice Cream Run.  The great ice cream (blueberry sundaes!) was surpassed only by the camaraderie of “Porsche-izing” with fellow DER members.

            Kudos go to Joe Thrift for organizing the event and planning the route.  By the way, that nice stretch of road under the narrow railroad underpass was reminiscent of a similar railroad underpass just after the “white house” S-curve on the original Watkins Glen road course!  It was a great drive and a very worthy event to participate in.

            I have two questions for Joe…

            1: Why Ice Cream only once-a-year?! This was just grand!  

            2: Where the heck was everybody else?  They missed a terrific event!
