I hope that you are beating heat and staying cool this summer. As I write this, Dana and I are spending the week in Palm Springs while attending the PCA Porsche Parade. Yes, I’m sure it is warmer than Las Vegas, but we can take 100 degrees with a little sweat. When gathering the names of LVR attendees I was amazed at the number of members I had never met before! So, we planned a “Starlight Winedown” for our region members and friends. It was great to see many of the 38 members that attended the Parade, and meet some for the first time. We have had a fantastic time. I Love a Parade! See our Parade write-up and pictures in this issue.
Memorial Day weekend was very busy for the club. We ran our three-day High Performance Driver’s Education event at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch. The weather cooperated with some ideal temps and everything [...]

Hi, my name is Harris Schwartz, and I am a new member of the LV Porsche Club, but certainly not new to Porsche. I think I am on my 4th Porsche now, and currently driving a special “edition” spec car – 2023 911 Carrera S with some special equipment you would never find on any non-GT car. My car operates and drives and performs as a GT car. It is my all time favorite. Of course, if you asked my husband (Dat), he loves it too, but he loves his GT2 RS even better. I fell in love with Porsche once my husband bought his original.
My first ever car was a 1974 Plymouth Duster in Fire Engine Red. It was a great, solid car for that time. The only other vehicle that I really enjoyed was a Toyota Tundra in Forest Green color.
I joined PCA in 2022 officially. I have been enjoying the [...]

By Reid Smith
What an interesting morning we had at Atomic Motors in Henderson, April 20th. We got there early and watched all of the Porsches roll in. 49 LVR members had signed up for the event and were not disappointed. Also, one of our members is president of an exotic car club in town and displayed about 20 of their incredible cars including Lambo’s, McLarens and of course, Porsches. Atomic Motors is an expansive operation with 5 separate buildings housing all sorts of services. Display rooms with cars for sale, a machine shop that can perform just about anything, detail, high end paint shop, body shop, upholstery, and much more! A shout out to Jack, Bill, Kat and Lance of Atomic Motors for making such wonderful memories for us!
