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!

In the past months we’ve jumped ahead from the beginning years of our region to see how things were going after, say, 10 or 20 years. Now let’s go back to 1975, when the fledgling Las Vegas Region had two solid years under its belt.
For its third year, the LVR had its third President, a fellow named Paul Riley. His opening column promised a number of events for the year 1975: 5 autocrosses, 3 rallies, 3 tech sessions, a ski tour, dinner meetings (presumably several), a swim party, summertime picnics (how many?), a fund-raising dinner (although he referred to these in the plural), a Christmas party, and a gathering specifically for the officers’ installation.
And in the next paragraph he invited members to suggest other events, especially if the member was willing to chair the event.
All this with a total membership of 64 primary and 38 associates [...]

May has proven to be a busy month for our club with numerous activities. We started with a false alarm monthly Brunch! My apologies for the date mix-up. Mike Dugan and I stood at the RRCC roundabout to inform each member that did not get the last-minute email. No members read us the “riot act”, which we would have deserved. A big thank-you for your understanding.
We had perfect weather for our annual Club Picnic Honoring New Members at Mountain Crest Park on May 13th. Besides the tasty BBQ catered by Road Kill Grill, our Board members and Zone 8 Rep, Lori DeCristo, refreshed us on the many facets of our club. Also, on May 20th, many of our members had a very interesting tour of Atomic Motors, in Henderson. We had a very interesting presentation about digital license plates at our May 21st Brunch. It was quite informative and a little sobering to learn [...]

Luftgekühlt 9, the annual celebration of air-cooled Porsche vehicles, took place this year on the historic Mare Island in the San Francisco Bay. Mare Island is a unique location for an event like this, as it is a 3.5-mile retired naval shipyard that has seen it all, from sailing ships to submarines, and now Porsche. The industrial backdrop of Mare Island provided an excellent setting for the event, with the rusted metal of the old shipyard buildings providing a striking contrast to the sleek lines of the Porsche vehicles on display.
