- Comments Off on Meet The Members – Harris Schwartz
Hi, my name is Harris Schwartz, and I am a new member of the LV Porsche Club, but certainly not new to Porsche. I think I am on my 4th Porsche now, and currently driving a special “edition” spec car – 2023 911 Carrera S with some special equipment you would never find on any non-GT car. My car operates and drives and performs as a GT car. It is my all time favorite. Of course, if you asked my husband (Dat), he loves it too, but he loves his GT2 RS even better. I fell in love with Porsche once my husband bought his original.
My first ever car was a 1974 Plymouth Duster in Fire Engine Red. It was a great, solid car for that time. The only other vehicle that I really enjoyed was a Toyota Tundra in Forest Green color.
I joined PCA in 2022 officially. I have been enjoying the [...]

- 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!
There were so many great stories today…but here is just one. A couple, Ken and Betty Hollman, moved to St. George from Reno where they had been active with the Sierra Nevada PCA region for years…both serving as President. They sold their Porsches prior to moving [...]

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 [...]
