Phoenix Fun Run

By Dana Smith

The LVR Phoenix Fun Run got off to a fabulous start. All Fun Runners were ready to go in the chilly morning air, after waivers had been signed, goodie bags had been handed out, and the driver’s meeting concluded. The bumpy, yet at times spirited, drive from Railroad Pass Casino to Kingman AZ went well. After a second stop in Wickenburg AZ, we safely arrived in the Phoenix area. Everyone made it to their lodging, got settled, and regathered for a fun and yummy Mexican dinner. Everyone appreciated the drive, the dinner, and our time together. We parted company to get some rest for Saturday’s early start.

Meet the Members – Randy and Martha Burba

By Randy and Martha Burba

Hello, we are Martha and Randy Burba, members of the Las Vegas Porsche Club. We love being members, we love living in Las Vegas, and we love the amazing people in the Porsche club.

Day 2 of our AZPCA fun run started with Cars & Coffee at Alpio’s at Troon. This location is a venue that can be rented out for special occasions and events. A Cars & Coffee event is held twice a month there. Alpio Barbara, the owner of the venue, is a local businessman and car enthusiast, with a dedicated love for all things Ferrari and Porsche.

FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK – February 2024

From the President’s Desk,

First of all, I want to thank JP John Polnik, and Mikey Patriquin of Interpolnik LLC for their creative talents with editing and publishing our Desert Drives.

January started out with a bang! 

Week 1

First Lady Dana and I set out for sunny CA during the first weekend to attend the Zone 8 President’s meeting. One of the topics was for each President tell of improvements needed in their region. When it came to me, [...]
