RECAP

By Reid Smith

The first Saturday in November marked an incredible Porsche gathering in St. George, Utah. Many LVR members attended this three-state event that featured over 100 Porsches! The Southern Utah members of the Intermountain Region brought us together to raise funds for Intermountain Cancer Center of St. George. We were treated to a tasty German themed brunch prepared by the hospital staff.

A big thank you to those who made this a fantastic event!

OUR OWN FORMULA F 1/10th RACE!

Our November Monthly Brunch ended with a new twist. UNLV students from the schools of Engineering and Computer Sciences have been working on developing their skills with autonomous race cars. They build and program the cars and test them on a closed race course. Professors Dr. Corey Tessler and Dr. Prashant Modekurthy explained the process and organized the students. Our club decided to purchase a track developed by FASTSIGNS in the shape of a “P” (of course). The student were divided into teams for the time trial contest. The track can easily be broken down and reassembled at different locations.

A special thanks to all of our club members who raised over $6000 through donations and sponsorships for this project. A big shoutout to Lynda Colucci for making this event happen!

Members Picnic Recap

By Reid Smith

What a crowd! Our Annual Member Picnic Honoring New Members took place on October 5th. We had a record breaking 89 Members in attendance for our BBQ feast catered by the legendary Road Kill Grill. We were hoping to enjoy mild Fall temperatures but not 100 plus! At least we had plenty of shade under the Pavilion.  

Our officers took turns informing everyone about our club activities and members of the Gaudin Porsche team gave updates of the construction on our second Las Vegas Porsche dealership.

HPDE September Recap

Spring Mountain September HPDE a Success!

By Reid Smith

The last weekend of September marked our 3rd High Performance event of the year. Although we experienced hot temperatures, it didn’t stop us from having a fun and uneventful DE. The 3.4-mile configuration of the Charleston Peak track at Spring Mountain Motorsports Raceway is truly world-class. Thanks to our leadership team, our HPDE’s have a reputation for safety and a focus on improving driving skills on all levels.

Michael Myers, who has been our DE Coordinator for a number of years will be stepping down. We thank him for his dedication and countless hours that he has contributed to make it all happen. He has truly been the heart and soul of our DE’s. We wish him the best, and hope to see him at future events.

We are looking for volunteers to step up and help us continue to offer HPDE’s in the future. Interested? [...]

Hofbrauhaus Recap

HAPPY TIMES AT THE HOFBRAUHAUS!

By Reid Smith

Beer and brats can do wonders to lift your spirits. We celebrated Ocktoberfest with our Mix and Mingle at the Hofbrauhaus of Las Vegas. If you have never been there, you are missing out on quite an experience. A wide range of Bavarian specialties with German beer to wash it down. The oompah band was a nice touch complete with an alphorn introduction. Pictures tell a thousand words (maybe a few too many)!

VegasAUTOFEST – Recap

AutoFest was an incredible event this year held on the fairways of Red Rock Golf Course. What a selection of unique autos to gaze upon. Eye Candy! Although the car show is open to all marques, 86 Porsches were on display. Our Porsche corral drew hundreds of car enthusiasts and spectators. 

This year’s event experienced a near perfect day of warm but not Vegas-hot temperatures.

SANTA BARBARA PCA 60TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

First Lady Dana and I got out of the heat and headed to Santa Barbara last month to celebrate their 60th Anniversary. Party crashers from our area included Mark Coronado, Richard Burns and Craig and Di Shanklin (IRPCA). Dana and I were not able to attend the morning drive but we were informed that half of the approximately 50 cars got lost. Sounds like it should have been a gimmick rally! We had a fantastic lunch in the Reagan Room at the Santa Barbara Hilton by the beach. Our good friend, Lori DeCristo, Zone 8 Representative, presented the 60th plaque on behalf of PCA. 

LVR member, Brian Schmidt, won one of the big raffle prizes, a trip to the Porsche Experience Center in LA. Congratulations, Brian!
