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 [...]

From the President’s Desk,

September was an incredibly event-packed month! Brian Schmidt, our Chief Driving Instructor, held a very informative Tech Session on Car Control at our monthly Brunch. From what I have heard, practically everyone learned something new at this excellent presentation.

The Gunlock, Utah Drive and Picnic took place on a hot morning when we met at Lake Mead. When we arrived at the picnic gazebo at Gunlock State Park, a nice breeze was coming off the lake and it was quite enjoyable.  A group of our friends from Southern Utah joined us for some good comradery. A shoutout to Gary Lea, who came up with the plan and organized the drive. He said we will do it again!

This month we’ll continue our look at the Region’s year 1995, the 21st anniversary of our Region. 

In the July 1995 issue of Sandscript there was a telling article about the President’s new Dodge van. Carl bought it in his first-ever shopping trip for a NEW car. He said new car shopping was eye-opening, in that he had a lot of questions, but the dealer salesman had only answers to questions he didn’t really ask. Such as, since he intended to use the van to tow his race car, he asked: “Does it have a towing option?” And the salesman replied: “It comes in eight beautiful standard colors and three more at extra cost.” Oh….. to go back to the 20th century car shopping adventures.

But I digress. The comment that caught my attention was that, during his first towing trip with his new 1995 Dodge V-8 powered van, [...]
