Greetings to all you wonderful Porsche People!
Welcome to December! In our family we wish everyone a Feliz Kuanshannukamas! I believe that covers most of the winter celebrations.
November was a bit of slowdown for us as far as activities. With the Exception of Reid’s Birthday and the November HPDE it was a slower pace…..Thankfully
At this moment we are looking at a very good turnout for our November HPDE with an expectation of 85 cars for this last of the year event. that means we will have run all three events this year in the black and no red in sight. I am even finally taking a turn driving the track this weekend.
We must give a special shoutout to all the volunteers, but a special mention goes to Brad Cameron, along with Brian Schmidt, who continue to do an amazing job on continuing the success. Many notable people help out and not all get intro’ed during the Saturday morning meeting. We will make sure they get their due mention.
Our elections will have happened and the Board will be announced after the final count of the ballots.
We’re still in need of volunteers and a Webmaster to help us manage our website and social media. If you’re interested in helping us take the club to the next level, please let us know.
