Greetings to all you wonderful Porsche People!

Welcome to October! This usually means a drop in temperatures that we’ll all be delighted about.

September was an incredible month for us. We had many great things happen and some wonderful success stories.

First of all, our September HPDE set a new record for a late summer event. Despite the temperatures being in the 90s, we had 101 cars and drivers attend. By all accounts, it was a very well-received event, and people had nothing but positive praise for their experience. One person even wrote to PCA National to praise the event—haven’t heard of that in a while!

We must give a special shoutout to all the volunteers, but a special mention goes to Brad Cameron, who is the new CoChair, along with Brian Schmidt, who stepped in to run the show while many were on vacation or busy with other things. He did an amazing job, [...]

7081-mile Road Trip with our Boxster 986

Ever since riding in the backseat, yes, the backseat of a 1970 Porsche 911 E Targa at age 16, I have been a 911 guy. Even when I couldn’t afford a 911, I bought 914s and dreamed. I have had “affairs” with other car brands from time to time but have always come back. It was during one of those non-Porsche times in my life – while owning a C7 Corvette – that I started dreaming of a cross-country road trip. A big road trip, one that would encompass at least 6000 miles. We would head toward Washington D.C. via a southern route based loosely on interstate 40, spend lots of time on good sports car roads in the Appalachians, and hit the Atlantic near Washington D.C. where my son Ben and his family live. After a visit of a few days, we would head west in a northerly arc, through Ohio, Illinois, on through South Dakota, and stop [...]

PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA – A SEVENTY-YEAR ROMANCE IN THE USA

Seventy years ago, a group of Porsche enthusiasts in North America came together to form what would become the Porsche Club North America (PCNA). Since its inception, the club has grown exponentially and now boasts a membership of over 100,000 Porsche owners and enthusiasts. The official date falls 4 days after my 71st birthday. Ironic in a way. I have been a Porsche loyalist since I can remember. It has been a wonderful ride and an awesome relationship. We were estranged for a few years but now that we are back together? Well i am sure that this time it is till death do we part!

In the early days, the club was a small, tight-knit community of Porsche owners who shared a passion for the iconic German sports cars. They [...]

Happy September!

Greetings to all you beautiful Porsche enthusiasts!

August was a month to remember for many reasons.

Where do I even begin?

One of the highlights of August was this year’s Monterey Car Week, particularly the 2025 Porsche Club Werks Reunion. I’ve got a recap of it in this month’s issue.

We’re now into our ninth month of the year, and time seems to be flying by. As we age, the concept of time changes with each passing day. It’s as if time is speeding up, making it harder to find the brake pedal!

Our Mix and Mingles events continue, but attendance varies. If you know of an establishment with great ambiance that would like to be a future event venue, please let us know. We’re always looking for new places to add to our list and avoid monotony.

Our Aviators Night was a great success and filled up the VIP suite. Cannot wait [...]
