The 2009 54th Annual PCA Parade, being held June 29th to July 4th in Keystone Colorado, is fast approaching. This year, the Parade’s Time Speed Distance (TSD) rally on July 1st is sponsored by Mobil 1. As most of you know, Porsche and Mobil 1 have a long and storied partnership dating back to 1996. 13 years later the relationship is stronger than ever with Mobil 1 used as the exclusive factory fill, and recommended service fill, for all Porsche engines and a sponsor to Porsche Motorsport.
To help celebrate this working relationship, and showcase Mobil 1’s involvement with the PCA 2009 Porsche Parade and TSD Rally, FlatSixes.com’s Valerie Roedenbeck and Christian Maloof are attending the Parade and Rally courtesy of Mobil 1 and will be reporting live here on the blog, Facebook group and Twitter on their experiences and adventures. It should be very interesting to see how a Grand-Am KONI Challenge driver (Christian) does trying to stick to the time/speed rules of the rally (assuming they even let him drive) 🙂 We’re kicking things off and revving up the excitement by giving away five cases of Mobil 1 oil.
That’s right, free Mobil 1!
If you’re one of the five lucky winners*, just pick your favorite flavor/viscosity and we’ll ship it directly to your door, courtesy of Mobil 1. Here’s how you can win:
- Spread the word. We want people to know about Mobil 1’s involvement with Porsche and the PCA so help us spread the word by posting a link to this article on another Porsche related web-site, Porsche based forum or other automotive enthusiast site. Once you post the link, let us know by commenting below (be sure to include your email and let us know where you posted the link). We’ll randomly pick two winners from this group of entries on the day of the TSD.
- Follow-us on Twitter. Do you Tweet? If so, you can win a case of Mobil 1 oil. How? Simple. Follow PorschePurist on Twitter. We’ll keep a list of all those who start following us as of the publication of this post. We’ll randomly pick one of the next 100 people who sign up to follow our updates and announce the winner on the day of the TSD. It’s that simple.
- Find us at Parade. Valerie and Christian will be participating in the TSD on July 1st and enjoying the other events with everyone else. They will both be wearing FlatSixes.com polo shirts (and also have some goodies to hand out). The first person to find them at Parade, mention this post and ask for a case of Mobil 1 will win. Make sure when you see Valerie or Christian you give them your preferred choice of oil and your address!!!
- Random Reader. If you want a case of oil and feel like telling us why we should send one to you, comment below. The best reason, as determined by our judges (that’s me) wins!!!
If you can’t make it to the PCA Parade this year, be sure to check out FlatSixes.com as we will be live blogging when we can, tweeting when we can’t and giving a daily round-up while we’re there.

Looking forward to meeting a lucky Porsche Purist reader at the Porsche Parade!
Good stuff guys !
@Andreas, you're starting things off. Definitely an advantage to being the first poster! :-)
@DJ, how about a shout-out on Team Speed? Your members deserve a chance too? :-)
@PorscheGirl and they're looking forward to meeting you too....
I could use the case of Mobil 1 because I was running on the redline most of the time I was out on the track for the 944Fest! She needs a brake fluid flush, too -- it's hard to go fast in a 944 NA when you have the transmission for a 944 S2 and your engine's running some thick 'n rich 15w 50 oil (Mobil 1!) -- but I did it anyway!
If that isn't enough, I am less than 2,000 miles away from the much-anticipated 100,000 mile mark. What better way to usher in another 100,000 miles of (mostly) problem free performance than with a case of oil?
:-D
hey john... well, i just passed this post on to my webmaster at Metro NY PCA.. not sure when it will get posted.. i also just sent it to 6 Metro members who will be going to Parada with a special note to find Christian and Valerie.. good luck to them!!
but do i qualify??
@Jackie,
That's awesome. In my opinion, if you don't win, Mobil 1 should give you a case anyway considering that the Metro NY PCA region is one of the largest in the country I believe!! :-) Let me know when it posts so I can add it to the list.
It looks like it's going to be a great race to see who finds Christian and Valerie first. I just got an email from four 993 owners making the drive to the Parade from Texas. They are going to be looking for them too. :-)
You, most definitely qualify. Don't forget you can get another entry by commenting and explaining why you deserve a case. Remember, I'm judging that one!!
@Andrew, given your propensity toward verbosity and wit, I expected something much more "pithy" from you...
@DJ, how about a link back on http://www.TeamSpeed.com
My Cayman S is my very first Porsche, and I certainly tend to "spoil" this car (with deluxe car detail jobs; etc; etc..). A case of Mobil 1 will be quite a nice treat for my silver bullet.
John, I didn't want to offend anyone this time, in case it hurt my chances!
ok, can't wait for Pete, posted it myself on the PlanetPorsche.net website..
http://www.planetporsche.net/pca-members/33718-porsche-parada-2009-colorado-mobil-1-a.html#post371525
but you have to be a member to view it..
so why should i win it?... cause i love my porsche.. and i never win anything!!!
i'm usually just the cheerleader for everyone else.. kind of a 'porsche-yenta'..
photog's need credentials to a race, no worry i'll get them for you... or i'll hve my other region editor friend apply for you..
need to rent a p-car for a race, no worry, i got a friend...
want to get the word out on someting, no worry, i'll put it in the Post, or the Cayman site..
dealer X screw you on service, no worry, go see my guy, he'll take care of you...
i dont know, i like to see people get what they want.. feels good to do for others.
that's it.
so if you want to fly me a case of oil... i'll take it...
or you can fly me press credentials when i'm overextended!!!
either way, you're the best!
and it's OK to drive your P-car in the rain.. just not on slicks!
: )
