Notice the price increase. As we all know, our economy is still in an inflationary cycle. Red Rock CC has had to raise their prices due to their increased costs. Neither RRCC nor our club will make a profit. With a private room in a beautiful setting with Rock Star parking and our guest speakers, think of this as an event!!!

We have planned a drive for May that is a three-day, two-night event starting May 13th and ending on May 15th.
DAY 1
Our meetup will be in the parking area before the south entrance of Lake Mead NPS, 4910-4952 East Lake Mead Parkway, Henderson, NV, 89005. Our driver’s meeting will start at 9:30am with a planned departure at 10:00am.This is a National Park, so fees apply but if you have a park pass (especially the nifty Senior Pass) you are already good to go. Otherwise, you will pay a fee of $25.00 for a seven-day pass.
Once through the gate we take the first left which is State Route 167north all the way to Logandale and the junction of Interstate15. We will travel north on I15 north to Exit 112 Riverdale/Bunkerville just outside [...]

My first Porsche was a very special one; a 1965 911 GP white/Black tex only option chrome wheels and it even had the teak dash radio cover with gold 911 on it. This was in 1970 and it only had 2K miles with the threshold plastic on it. I kept it for about 8 years and sold it with less than 10K miles on it — hope it’s still the pristine car it was!
I’ve owned too many Porsches to remember, perhaps 25-30 who knows. I currently own “only” 2 a ’73 Carrera RS 2.7 lt.wt. & a ’23 911 Turbo S cabriolet wht.mt. & lipstick but just sold a Macan [...]

Hello Porsche Friends!
The 2024 Timeline Registration is officially OPEN. Our first event in Big Bear last year was a huge success. It was so big that we needed to expand our booking with the city to accommodate 200+ cars which means our costs have gone up. We have added a Welcome Party and a Farwell Concert to the roster so we hope you can spend the entire weekend with us on the mountain!
We will SELL OUT. Sign up and secure you spot soon!
