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.

The Las Vegas region tour participants arrived at the venue at approximately 7:00 am, where were we parked amongst some of the most beautiful cars in the region. This also served as the base for checking in and planning for the next two events of the tour – a fun run to Fountain Hills, AZ and the secret car collection that we were to see [...]

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. Both are professionals in their fields and are LVRPCA members. How lucky can we get! I took time to view the newsletters of the 16 regions in PCA Zone 8 and we are among the best. If you do not take time to click through each monthly issue of our Desert Drives, you are totally missing out.

January started out with a bang!

Las Vegas Region members Dave and Jan Sunderhaft created much deserved attention with their 968 since their 2nd place finish in the PCA Parade Concours in Palm Springs last summer. The 968 Registry Newsletter had glowing things to say about the gorgeous cabriolet. They included two photos in their December issue.

“David Sundershaft was there with his concours Horizon Blue cab which looked spectacular. David worked very hard on the preparation for his car and took 2nd in class.”

We joined at about the 2-year mark and below is a recap from us of the LVRPCA.

The Las Vegas Region was founded in April 1974 by about 25 Porsche owners who did all the usual new region things by getting organized, having elections, figuring out funding, setting meeting times and places, etc.

Organization was no easy task. Founding member, Carl Young advertised in the paper looking for prospective members. He would also chase down Porsches to ask if the driver/owner was interested in joining a national club. Once there were enough interested people, a meeting was held to select the officers. Funding, meetings and meeting places were discussed at the early meeting.

Completing all the necessary forms, application was made to the PCA national office for a charter as the Las Vegas Region of the Porsche Club of America. 

Two years later, new to Porsche and fairly new to [...]
