- Comments Off on INTERMOUNTAIN REGION PCA SHOW & SHINE
By Craig Shanklin, IRPCA Representative
Wow! What a Porsche day in Southern Utah! We had a great showing for the Show and Shine and Porsche Car Show…so many attendees…several hundred if you count all the shoppers at the Tuacahn Market on Saturday, April 22nd. Such great exposure for PCA and Gaudin Porsche of Las Vegas.
I can’t say enough about the whole Gaudin team that came to Tuacahn! Wow! so much fun, so hard working and so professional. They impressed everyone. They answered so many owner questions…and Steve has convinced me I NEED an air-cooled! Also, the prizes were so generous and so appreciated by all of our winners!

- Comments Off on PORSCHE SPRINT CHALLENGE RECAP
Our Las Vegas Region club members were out in force for the Porsche Sprint races that were held at Spring Mountain Motorsports Raceway on April 21-23rd. We had great weather as we cheered for Premier 1 Race Team with club member Michael Londo driving the #111 in the Porsche GT3 991 class. The team and driver were well prepared for this first outing as they continue to compete in the Yokohama Sprint Challenge USA West series this year. A big shout-out to Kent Moore, Sam Weber, Amy Roberts-Moore and the rest of the team for their hospitality during the event!

I drive a 2017 911 S, with the Sports package, in silver with Bordeaux Red leather. It is my first Porsche, although I wanted one since I saw the Porsche Can-Am race cars in the 1970s. I love everything about my 911, especially the handling and acceleration, thanks to the twin turbos. I relax as soon as I sit in the car and close the door.
This spring, I have a 24-day road trip planned through 14 Western states, traversing the mountains and Pacific Coast Highway, where I will get to enjoy the great Porsche engineering. I grew up in the New York City area and have lived in 9 states. By the end of my road trip, I will have visited every state except Alaska. There are wonderful people throughout our country.
I just joined PCA, following my retirement in December 2022. I worked for many years in corporate marketing and strategic planning. For [...]

Our Porsche Club friends to the north have graciously invited Las Vegas Region to join in which should be a very memorable Memorial Day Weekend tour! Here is the invite that Craig Shanklin, IRPCA Southern Utah Representative:
On May 27, the Northern Utah PCA members are driving down to St. George and we will have a nice dinner social (all PCA members, especially Las Vegas, are welcome). The next morning, May 28, we will have a “tour” to Kanab with a nice lunch stop. All the details and registration

We would love to have Las Vegas members join the fun. They may not be familiar with scenic Kanab, Utah. We also have a discounted rate at a nice new local hotel in St. George.

Have you ever been to Atomic Motors? If you have not, here is a chance for a guided tour of the five buildings in the complex. We will get to view the process that results in top level restorations on autos and motorcycles. They are well known for their paint and machine shops. Do you need fabrication, upholstery or detailing? They’ve got it! It can also be classified as a unique museum and art show. At the end of the tour, we will be treated with hotdogs and sodas!
