../.. The weekend following Labor Day, twenty Typ 356 members plus their spouses and guests motored to Watkins Glen International Raceway for the annual Vintage Grand Prix Race festivities, where Porsche was the featured marque. Our group participated in the activities on Friday which included a 25 mile police escorted rally, three laps of the track at speed, plus three laps of the historic 6.6 mile road course through the streets of town, also at speed. It was a remarkable weekend with perfect weather too. - Peter Crawford <br><br> Tom Gentz, TYP356NE, Tech Chair volunteers as a crew member on Peter Dawe's Porsche race team. Peter hosted lunch for out Glen members at the track on Saturday. Tom believes that Peter is the best Porsche 911 engine builder in the country and is currently building a 2.7 liter motor with Peter at his PA shop for his 1966 Polo Red 911 Coupe restoration. Tom says if you need any questions about 911 motors, or other race motors, you can reach Peter through Tom or at:<br><br> Peter Dawe<br> Dawe's Motorsports<br> 1 Foundry Street<br> Stroudsburg, PA
