I hope that you are beating the heat and staying cool this summer. We had some technical issues with our newsletter/website, and have decided to combine the July and August Desert Drives. Let’s just call it the SUMMER ISSUE!

First Lady Dana and I spent a week in Palm Springs while attending the PCA Porsche Parade in June. When gathering the names of LVR attendees I was amazed at the number of members I had never met before! So, we planned a “Starlight Winedown” for our region members and friends. It was great to see many of the 38 members that attended the Parade, and meet some for the first time. We had a fantastic time. I Love a Parade! See our Parade write-up and pictures in this issue.

Memorial Day weekend was very busy for the club. We ran our three-day High Performance Driver’s Education event at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch. The weather cooperated with some ideal temps and everything went smoothly. If you missed it, see our activity calendar for our October and November dates. A special thanks to Michael Myers and Brian Schmidt for running such a successful event. Also, a special thanks to our club volunteers for their time and energy at the track.

Taking a break from the track, Dana and I attended the St. George to Kanab Tour that weekend. Craig Shanklin and crew from Southern Utah organized an enjoyable event with a Saturday night dinner and Sunday drive which included a BBQ lunch. At the end of the event, we stopped for wine tasting at a winery in Hilldale UT. 

The Yosemite High Sierra Tour will take place September 5-8^th. Check out the details in this issue of Desert Drives and JOIN US!We are making plans for AUTOFEST, which will take place September 16^th on the fairways of Red Rock Country Club. We are working on a discount and complimentary lunch for display entrants. With over 500 entries (over 80 Porsches last year), AUTOFEST has proven to be a spectacular Las Vegas auto show!
