From the President’s Desk
I am writing this the day after the day after. I mean day after the AFTER HOLIDAY DINNER PARTY. Oh, my goodness, what a bash! The LUX at the M Resort is hard to beat. The view of the Strip from the top of the M Resort is priceless. The buffet banquet was a first class culinary experience featuring turkey, roasted tenderloin fillets and salmon along with varied dessert selections that were to die for (at least enough to kill my New Year’s resolution!). Our present and past leadership were appropriately honored, along with our incredible Porsche shops, dealership and Desert Drive publishers. It is a reminder to me that I can’t take for granted our phenomenal Porsche community. No other car club I’m aware of can come close to what we have.
Our first drive of the year will take place on February 4th with a run to Topack, AZ. We will drive to Kingman, head to Oatman and arrive at the Topock 66 Colorado River Bar and Grill for lunch. This drive took place yesterday, so we will have a recap in our March Desert Drives.
Join us for the Valley of Fire Day Drive on March 21st. Arizona PCA and Southern Utah PCA members are joining us for the morning drive through Lake Mead Recreational Area and then to Valley of Fire Nevada State Park. Because of the number of cars, we are asking you to buy NPS passes (if you do not have an annual or lifetime pass). Also, please prepay for the Nevada State Park pass. See the registration in this newsletter for details.
Our first HPDE event will take place March 18-19th at Spring Mountain Motorsports Raceway in Pahrump. Details to come.
Also, we are planning a tech session on ceramic coatings at Gloss-It Design and Detail Studio on March 11th. We are working on the details for this event. Check your enews blasts for event information.
