The best possible weather that anyone could ask for made this year’s All German Car Show one to remember! The Sunday morning, October 2nd event had a record turnout of cars and spectators. By the time the show started at
9:00 am, 74 Porsches belonging to KCRPCA members were on display on the open-air top deck of The Underground - which is the Kansas City Automotive Museum’s classic and exotic car storage facility at
31st & Broadway in Kansas City, Missouri.
Being the “All German” car show, our colleagues from the Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen clubs joined us, and they appeared to have record turnouts as well. For some participants, their beautiful vehicles were just two or three levels down
in storage and it was great to see these cars fired up. This was the third year of using The Underground as the event venue, and it did not disappoint, with beautiful views of
downtown Kansas City to the north and a wonderful shady, grass lot
to the south where the BMW Club and KCRPCA both set up their headquarters’ tents.
This year, Chicane Motorsports sponsored a pancake breakfast by Chris Cakes that was free for all show attendees, especially those volunteers who started early setting up the show positions. KCRPCA event organizers Mike LeMoine and Stan Stanton did a masterful job of keeping everything running smoothly with all the registrations. They also had water and coffee on hand for the Porsche faithful. For those interested, The Underground was open for visitors to tour its collection of over 240 classic and exotic vehicles in storage and on display. With all of the car clubs’ tents set up and flags flying, and the beautiful cars and the fantastic weather, it was a sight to behold. This year everyone turned out in a spectacular manner. Smiles and laughter were abundant as old friends
