Toy Drive Event: 

At our December brunch, our club came together for a heartwarming toy drive event aimed at spreading holiday cheer to children in need. Although our plans to work with Toys for Tots directly didn’t work out, another local group in Clark County was also in need of toys. With your generous donations, we were able to help bring joy to 3,200 foster children this past holiday season. Thank you for your incredible support in making our Toy Drive for foster kids such a success. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and commitment to making a difference in the lives of these kids. Stay tuned for more ways to get involved, and once again, thank you for spreading hope and happiness!

Our first High Performance Drivers Education of the year was a complete success! Absolutely perfect weather was enjoyed by all. Congratulations to Peter George on his first time as HPDE Coordinator. The two-day event was flawless. Also, a big shoutout to Brian Schmidt, Chief Driving Instructor, and Lisa DiSabatino, Registrar for their countless hours and attention to detail to make it a success. Also, thanks to the many volunteers who were invaluable in organizing over 120 participants!

MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR!

And Reception at GAUDIN PORSCHE HENDERSON!

April 12, 2025

Las Vegas Region members want to welcome our visiting AZPCA friends and have planned a short drive the morning of Saturday, April 12th. We will meet up at 8:30am at Gaudin Porsche on Redwood Steet (the “old” dealership). The itinerary will be given out at the driver’s meeting and we will depart at 8:45am. The drive will be a little unusual and include a variety of beautiful southern Nevada scenery. We plan to return to Las Vegas before noon so you can enjoy lunch on your own and then meet at the new Henderson Gaudin Porsche for the reception and tour of the new facilities.

As your zone 8 representative I was excited to share my journey with cars. 

My love of sports cars started when I was in elementary school and my brother drove me in his TR4 from our home in Pennsylvania to Watkins Glen for the 9th U. S. Grand Prix race.  Since then, I have always been fascinated and interested in all types of cars.    Porsche came into my life in 2013 when I decided that it was time that I owned a convertible.   A good friend of mine found this “perfect red convertible” and after driving it in Newport Beach on a sunny summer day, the rest is history.

Not knowing much about car clubs, or, for that matter, the Boxster that I just purchased, I joined PCA in 2013.  At my first breakfast meeting, I was warmly welcomed and thought, what could it hurt to go to the board meeting.   In [...]

In 1996 I ordered a brand-new Porsche Boxster while living in the SF Bay Area.  I was lucky to break with family history to own a P-Car.  My Mother admitted more recently that my father, who was a big car and motorbike guy always wanted a P-car, but all she had to say was, do you really need that?  That was the end of that discussion.  I waited 13 months to take delivery of that car from Rector Motors, but the good news was the Boxster saved Porsche according to experts, and I went on to have a couple more.

Somehow, while living there I never joined the Porsche Club of America, but I did get hooked on going to the track after attending the Skip Barber 3-day SCCA racing school at Laguna [...]
