Meet the Members: Susan and G. “Doc” DeAndrea 

I am from Far Hills, New Jersey. I have loved Porsches since childhood at the New York Auto Show and watching the 917s with Gulf livery at Watkins Glen Can-Am. I am a Hoya, spending 11 years at Georgetown University – undergrad, Medical School & Neurology residency, and a Husky, 4 years at University of Washington Seattle, Neurophysiology Fellowship & MBA. Susan is from a large family in Oklahoma, where she graduated from Central State University with a Business degree. 

We met in Seattle with a weekly ski group. We married / honeymooned in Tasmania at the end of the 1993 Sydney-Hobart yacht race. In Seattle, Susan ran my private medical office. We had huskies Panama Red & Nanda Devi, we hiked, sailed, remodeled houses and landscaped. When we grew tired of grey skies, on a motorcycle Laughlin River Run from Seattle, I discovered Medford OR. We [...]

September 24-25th provided exceptional weather for our HPDE at Spring Mountain Motorsports. Having no wind in Pahrump NV, is a rarity! We did not have a beginner’s class this time because we offered an instructor training school. It is vital that we have a cadre of competent instructors because we require a 1 to 1 student/teacher ratio to teach the skills required for students to be track ready.

Although we started Saturday run groups with a very dusty track, we cleaned it at high speed with over 90 cars!  Join us for our November 18th-20th HPDE. Look for more info to come.

Congratulations to the newest group of Nationally Certified Driving Instructors for the PCA.  Thanks to Scott Mann for running the school and we appreciate all of the experienced instructors who served as mentors – helping to train the new candidates.   These new instructors are ready to help train you at our next [...]

Sunday Salad- Car Nut and Porsches

What happened at the September Brunch and will happen in October

Sunday September 11th was a beautiful day. Weather- a bit cool- only in the low 100s. But really sunny- break from the “monsoon” rains. With summer over for many, it was time to get back to semi-normal.

We gathered in the window-lined dining room Of Red Rock Country Club to greet each other over micro-sized cups of hot coffee. There were many familiar and getting-to-be-familiar faces gathering, as the brunch is becoming a must-do event each month.

We settled down to the highlight of the morning- delicious food. After that President Reid Smith greeted the awaiting crowd with news of upcoming events- a drive to California on twisty backroads, a nudge to enter your [...]

Please join us for our September brunch at 10 am September 11th at beautiful Red Rock Country Club. Our speaker will be our very own Phil Reese who is a very long-time member of PCA and LVR. He will be presenting “Tales from a Car Nut”. Be cautioned that Phil will be using archaic terms such as “three on a tree”, may refer to a “clutch” or talk about a “slick”. For older members it may be a trip down a car-memory lane. For younger members- you may want to sit next to some old guy who can translate for you.
