Las Vegas Region members Dave and Jan Sunderhaft created much deserved attention with their 968 since their 2nd place finish in the PCA Parade Concours in Palm Springs last summer. The 968 Registry Newsletter had glowing things to say about the gorgeous cabriolet. They included two photos in their December issue.

“David Sundershaft was there with his concours Horizon Blue cab which looked spectacular. David worked very hard on the preparation for his car and took 2nd in class.”

We joined at about the 2-year mark and below is a recap from us of the LVRPCA.

The Las Vegas Region was founded in April 1974 by about 25 Porsche owners who did all the usual new region things by getting organized, having elections, figuring out funding, setting meeting times and places, etc.

Organization was no easy task. Founding member, Carl Young advertised in the paper looking for prospective members. He would also chase down Porsches to ask if the driver/owner was interested in joining a national club. Once there were enough interested people, a meeting was held to select the officers. Funding, meetings and meeting places were discussed at the early meeting.

Completing all the necessary forms, application was made to the PCA national office for a charter as the Las Vegas Region of the Porsche Club of America. 

Two years later, new to Porsche and fairly new to [...]

We have been blessed to have volunteer speakers at our monthly brunch at Red Rock Country Club. Our Board of Directors believe this is an important feature that is of great interest to our club.

WE NEED HELP!

There are many club members who can share their automotive experiences. Or you may know of non-club acquaintances who can be of interest. This could include a short technical talk, racing stories, or interesting stories about travel experiences. We are will consider other subjects that would be of interest to the brunch group, but our goal is to try to keep it ‘automotive’ in mind. It could involve travel experiences with recommended locations worth touring. Although cars are our common interest, other subjects would be welcome. The more Porsche relatable, the better.

What we do not want are solicitations or speakers trying to sell their product. We would like to know about the product without feeling pressured [...]
