Oh baby what a hot Kreuzer time at the Taj!
The only losers at the Taj Kreuzers 2002 were the people that stayed home. And the way we figured it, that's where they should-a been. Anxious to get you fellow Kreuzers all the data on the event, the Taj is posting the raw evidence right away. Click here to view a gallery of Kreuzers having one HOT time at Carillon park! Documented by our Taj friend and Master Porsche® photographer Jon Neidert, Studio 35 Photography of Dayton Ohio. If you see something that you would want a quality print of, the Taj encourages you to contact Jon. Of course if you have photos you took and think they should be included for all to enjoy, please send them to the Taj.

A Big Taj Thank You!
Stay tuned for next month’s issue of the Bent Pylon. At press time we were still awaiting some outstanding invoices to finalize our donation for the Ronald McDonald House of Dayton. Look for Ronald, some Girl Scouts, a list of all the volunteers, and a BIG FAT CHECK in the next issue.


We didn’t cheat… I SWEAR!
“The food was better than good, the cars were super, even the Complaint Department Girl was seen smiling. The trophies were cool, but we didn’t cheat. The results were audited… honest.” said an unnamed Schardt spokesperson. This was the flimsy excuse given to Events Officials after the Schardt family suspiciously spirited away three different Best of Class Awards at the 2002 Taj Kreuzer. “I don’t know why everybody is giving us a hard time. Ric Zimmerer registered his ‘67 Shelby and didn’t bring it. For Cripe’s sake he’s the Prez! I think he must have heard about that ‘32 Street Rod and pupped out in the Porsche® Wannabe Class. I’m not lying, call him, his number is on Page Two of the Bent Pylon.” Dave Schardt opined.
“If you really want to kick some tires, ask that fat, old, white haired, big butt guy running the show who stole my dad’s golf cart. If anybody had a butterfly ballot it had to be him. He returned the cart but it was on empty, there were pork rinds and Bud Lite cans everywhere.” Mr. Schardt fumed.

Taj Officials have reviewed the results with our accounting firm: Dewey, Cheatum & Howe, and are satisfied that the only cheaters at the event was Paul Loubier and Dick Weiss. Dick swears it was a misunderstanding and Paul said his tee shirt didn’t fit again.

TWENTY PLUS 356’S !!!!!
What a turn out of 356’s at the 2002 Taj Kreuzer. Twenty of the one hundred and ten jewels from Stuttgart to participate in the event at the beautiful Carillon Park were those built before 1965. They braved terrible temperatures and uncertainty as they came from all over the area and then some. The projected snow accumulation never materialized and many came topless. Fortunately the women and children were kept close to the conservative few with bras. Fred Uhlmann would never be caught without his prosthesis and Dick Weiss had been seen sashaying around with one on as well.

The Dickster was caught on film attempting to abscond the Best of Class award. Easily identified, he was directed to park his Carrera in the penalty box with Ed Mauer who couldn’t find victory circle with MapQuest. Most of those who attended were real ladies and gentlemen and excepted the Schardt family run-away with humility, grace and blood oaths of revenge. Some of the more well intentioned attendees included Jim Perrin, Jon Vargas, Ken Haselwander, Mike Robbins, Glenn Jividen, Marty Huelsman, Rob Ellis, T Zombeck and Kathie Hunter, Ron Jones, Tom Oether, David Jones, Bob Bryant, and the aforementioned guys with the man melon protectors.

Once again, thanks to all of you bathtub aficionados who helped make this an event to remember. We were using the arrest warrants to publish the names of attendees of merit and we apologize for those of you we failed to mention. You are free on your own recognizance.
