We were the host of a multi-Region drive to the Valley of Fire State Park that included members of Arizona, Southern Utah and Las Vegas Regions on March 21St. Our plans for the drive changed rapidly on that Tuesday morning as the rainy forecast caused great concern. I had planned to be at the meetup location at 7:00am to get everything organized by the 8:00am call time. Leaving home at 6:15am, Dana and I were not aware of three major accidents on the 215 Beltway. After sitting in traffic for a couple of hours, we finally arrived at 8:35am! Luckily, we had an excellent team of club volunteers who had everything organized with cars lined up, so were able to get the paperwork done and started moving at 8:45am. A special thanks to our team for all they did!

A total of 61 cars had signed up, but only half that number actually arrived, most [...]

From the Archives #14, April 2023

We’ve chosen this month to look through 1984, at least the first half of that year, a time when the Las Vegas Region was ten years old. The most striking thing to us was the sheer number of major events/activities that the rather small (about 100 members) LVR managed to put on the in first half of 1984.

In mid-February 1984, the LVR folks put together what was called the “West Coast Weekend.” This was a 3-activity event, not counting the eating, drinking, and gambling that was very favorably reported on. The venue was at Laughlin (hence the gambling); the activities were a slalom, a rally, and a tech quiz. The number of workers was huge, and all were thanked individually in the subsequent issue of Sandscript.

In mid-March there was the “Holtville Weekender.” The three activities at this one were an autocross, a rally, and a slalom. Again, [...]

From the President’s Desk,

It is an understatement to say that March was a busy month. I am writing this a day after our Valley of Fire Drive with members from three PCA regions: Arizona, Intermountain and Las Vegas. I was contacted by the Arizona region in December and we put together an eventful two days culminating with a drive to the Valley of Fire State Park. We had 61 cars signed up for the event but only about half participated, probably due to the rainy forecast. Or it was because there was delays for hours on the 215 Beltway due to some major accidents (I was stuck in traffic so can attest to the delay). Anyway, the rain let up and everyone enjoyed the beautiful scenery. A big shout-out to our LVR volunteers who did an exceptional job of organizing the drive while I was “parked” on the 215.

IN ST. GEORGE!

By Reid Smith

Some of us climbed out of bed at 0’Dark Hundred on February 18th to drive St. George for coffee and pastries.  We have joined with the Southern Intermountain Region PCA group a number of times over the past year.

We were blessed with cool but sunny conditions that morning. As 64 Porsches arrived, members headed to the Farmstead Bakery and selected from an array of pastries, sandwiches and coffee. A special thanks to Craig Shanklin and his crew for keeping everything organized. And thanks for inviting us!
