I would love to attend the workshop and am willing to pay to have fewer people. I did have covid and had almost no symptoms when I had it. Given that experience, I would prefer not to get the vaccine. I don't really think it would do much for me and my understanding is that even with the vaccine you can still infect people with Covid if you are infected. Can I get a covid test a day or 2 before the class and present that (if negative) so I can attend? If this will work please count me in for June 3 & 4 OR June 7 & 8, the earlier the better.

June 3rd & 4th please Tony. I’m assuming a couple hour drive is local enough. Thanks Jeff Noonan

Tom,

I don’t think it would be a good precedent to knowingly allow someone without the vaccine to mingle in close contact with other participants. However, I could accommodate you in the last group probably in July. Maybe I could form a special group for people in similar situation. This will all depend what the medical advisors helping me would tell me. Hope you understand my predicament. Why not just have the vaccine?

If you are willing to be in the “special group”, or last group, I would accommodate you. You should have PMed me instead of posting your situation. I might even give you a one-on-one private sessions.

Tony

Once COVID passes, I may be able to do this. I live in Northern NJ, < 2 hours away.

Disappointing Update..........

After discussions with some medical doctors who are acting as my advisors about having the next Engine Rebuilding Classes in June 2021, they unanimously agree that it is too soon to resume it. For the safety of everyone attending the classes, it would be prudent to wait for an appropriate time. Nobody knows at this point when it would be safe or a good time to do it.

It would better to err on the side of caution than regret later. So the plan to have the Engine Rebuilding Classes in June 2021 is CANCELLED . We will have it as soon as we could meet safely. Please accept my apology for the cancellation. Thanks.

Tony

Tony,

This is a hobby for almost all of us. Safety/health should always come first! Now that I'm back in the Porsche fold, I would like to attend whenever it is safe again.

Yeah, when I have my TWO shots I am back on board with this class.. I should get the second shot by early April sorry for my 'cold feet' earlier, but the pandemic was giving me the Whim-Whams.

I am good for all of June/ July and have both shots.


Perhaps you could do a group that wears masks and have both shots?

Fred,
Are you saying.you might organize a class in June? Would this be in North Carolina or PA? I just got my second shot,.and my 930 engine is in pieces, machine work completed by Nick. It would be less stressful to have some training before I do the reassembly.

As much as I'm looking forward to the class, I totally agree and respect the plan to put safety first. I'm still in whenever it's safe to resume.

Just curious, has PA opened up yet? My school year is almost over and the class would be a great summer vacation thing to do.

Unpredictable Situation.........

If it would be safe for us to meet and conduct these sessions, I would like to have them in September 2021. Not really sure at the moment if it is a wise decision to have them this early. I have consulted a few medical practitioners about doing the engine rebuilding classes this year. I was told September schedule is possible but unlikely. Maybe by June or July 2021, we would have better information to make a good decision.

Tentative schedule:

September/October 2021

or

April/May 2022

Thanks, Tony

depending on the setup a live video streaming of the classes would be awesome too.
