High Performance Driver Education

An Insider View

By Gary Lea

This weekend I took the plunge and did the HPDE event at Spring Mountain. I have been meaning to do it for five years, but work always seems to get in the way. This time I decided, now that I am retired, I would do it . I was the third person to sign up and most likely will be again in our next event.

When I was young, I would do anything I could to get the adrenaline rush. Skiing, cycling, kart racing, a weekend at Jim Russell School, and driving anywhere I could get away from traffic and police to go as fast as I could. I was lucky to grow up in Lake Tahoe and to have the Washoe Flat on 395 between [...]

THE JUST ONE PROJECT VOLUNTEER DAY

On Tuesday, October 14th, a group of us from the board arrived at The Just One Project at 7:30 a.m. at 1401 N. Decatur Blvd. Bright-eyed and eager to help distribute food to those in need, we set out to make a difference.

We had been aligned with this group since the beginning of the year and had mentioned them in these pages a few times. They are truly remarkable in their efforts to feed those in need. In addition to food distribution, they also offer housing assistance, job training, and placement assistance. Their dedication is evident in the fact that they distribute over 6 MILLION pounds of food annually to the community.

🎃🎃🎃Friday Night at Trunk or Treat 👻👻👻

🕸️Tivoli Village 🕸️

🧙🏻🧙🏻🧙🏻🧙🏻🧙🏻🧙🏻🧙🏻🧙🏻🧙🏻🧙🏻🧙🏻

Scissors and Scotch

Our group arrived between 3:30 and 4:30. The center had blocked off the streets, and we found our way to Scissors and Scotch. We backed in and opened the trunks.

By the time we started (5:30), we had lined up seven Carreras and were ready to hand out candy.

We all thought we had too much candy and would be taking it home. We provided between 150 and 200 pounds of sugary delights in total. Little did we know that in 2024, they had over 4,000 people and expected the same [...]

The Annual Lake Mead North Shore Drive: A Post-AUTOFEST Tradition

Every year, the day after Vegas AUTOFEST, a group of car enthusiasts gathers for a beloved tradition: a drive along the scenic North Shore Road of Lake Mead. This year’s outing, blessed with ideal weather, brought together a close-knit crew of friends, their distinctive Porsches, and a shared enthusiasm for the journey—despite feeling the effects of the previous night’s late celebration.

Romi led the group in his striking 934 turbo race car, its bold presence setting the pace. Following him was Anthony from Hour Smiths, a sponsor from Idaho, who joined the drive in JP’s well-worn but reliable Porsche 964 C4 Cabriolet, enjoying the open top in the crisp desert air.

Deeb and Sahand, who traveled from San Francisco to help with the show, joined the convoy. Deeb, JP’s Bid Nerds partner, drove Romi’s 997 Turbo convertible, while Sahand took the wheel of the rare Ruf 993 turbo coupe. Both navigated the road with evident [...]

September HPDE Recap!

Brad Cameron

Porsche Club of America Las Vegas Region sanctioned a High-Performance Drivers Education (HPDE) weekend at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada, on September 6 and 7, 2025. Held in near perfect mid-90s weather, the event attracted a solid turnout from such places as Dallas, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Utah, Southern California, and of course our locals. Our reach for drivers is expanding with each event thanks to the efforts of the HPDE volunteers.

 Over 90 drivers, including eight beginners, had the opportunity to practice their skills in the art of performance driving. The club provided twelve instructors, led by Roger Garrell (covering as Chief Driving Instructor while Brian Schmidt was on an exciting Safari in Africa, driving Porsches of course!) Roger and the team of volunteer instructors did a magnificent job guiding the student drivers from the skid pad to the track as well as orienting experienced drivers with the Spring Mountain Charleston [...]
