- Comments Off on 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. Gary Lea did a fabulous job of organizing the Porsche corral which included a judged show & shine complete with trophies. Gary, thanks for all you do for our club! A big thank you goes out to Gaudin Porsche of [...]

- Comments Off on 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!

- Comments Off on SOUTHERN UTAH TOUR RECAP
By Reid Smith
Last month we had a successful drive to many points of interest in Southern Utah. On Day One we departed at the Lake Mead NP entrance and had an enjoyable drive on the North Shore Road. After a rest stop in Mesquite, we took Hwy 91 which is the old highway toward St. George. Taking the Gunlock Road, we arrived at Vejo for lunch and pie! Then we swung to the west on SR 18 and eventually arrived at Cedar City. This means we only were on Interstate 15 for about 15 miles!We had a superb dinner at Chef Alfredo’s Italian Restaurant.
On Day 2 we headed uphill to Brianhead and Cedar Breaks. After being stuck behind a slow-poke for the 10-mile uphill climb, we were turned loose [...]

SPANISH COOKING AT IT’S BEST!
By Reid Smith
If you have not eaten at Tres Cazuelas yet, you need to! What a great experience in Iberian Peninsula cuisine. Club members started with a wine tasting and then proceeded to the cooking presentation. Chef Angelo Reyes took us through the steps of preparing paella. Originally, this dish from the 1800’s combined your weekly leftovers, but now it is quite a delicacy. The right ingredients and careful preparation is the key to a tasty dinner. Rather than leftovers, our paella included rice, chicken, pork belly, jumbo shrimp, mussels and clams seasoned just right. Yum!
