THE 33rd ANNUAL COLORADO CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE & EXOTIC Lamborghini Denver SPORTS CAR SHOW On June 5 2016, the 33rd annual Ability Connection Colorado Concours d’Elegance will take place on the grounds of Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, Colorado. The Concours benefits Cerebral Palsy of Colorado & Creative Options Child Early Education Services, which in 2015 raised $158,830 with net for the charity of $119,595. Approximately 446 cars were on display, and there were approximately 14,000 paid spectators. Of the 446 cars, 118 were Porsches. The Concours was founded by RMR/PCA members Tom Scott and Stim Kennedy 33 years ago and has broken records for money collected, cars displayed, and attendance every year since. The Concours is the largest charity car event in Colorado, and the goal is to make this a national quality event with registrants from the other PCA Regions. This year we would like to feature the “Mid-Engine Cars,” to include 550 Spyders, 904s, 914s/916s, Boxsters, Caymans, Carrera GTs, and 918s, along with any special editions of the models. These Porsche Models will be displayed within a special display area with the rest of the Porsches. We would ask for the membership’s assistance in locating some of the limited/ rare variants of these cars, or if you own one, to please consider registering your car for this very worthwhile event. Also, again this year, for an additional $25.00 added to the regular $50.00 registration fee, you will be able to have your car judged not only against your Porsche peers, but instead, against the field of other marques. For example, your car judged against BMWs, Jaguars, Corvettes, Ferraris, etc. Registration for this year’s Concours will began on March 04, 2016. Go to www.coloradoconcours.org.

Alpine Mountain Region Porsche Club of America April 9th and 10th, 2016 at PPIR

First HPDE event of 2016 with PAID CORNER WORKERS at PPIR! Sponsored by Elite Deck and Fence

We’re going to start the 2016 High Performance Driver Education season once again in style! We are very happy to announce that we are hitting the track at Pikes Peak International Raceway for our first HPDE of the season WITH PAID CORNER WORKERS (worked fantastic last year). PPIR is a great track for the beginner and experienced driver alike. We will be running about 2/3 of the famed oval, plus the challenging infield road course section, so you get the best of both worlds. If you haven’t felt the thrill of going flat out around a banked oval, then hitting a tight road course, it’s something you need to experience (personally experienced last year for the first time and now hooked). The facilities here are the best in the state, with a fully paved paddock, spotless NASCAR garages, a large indoor viewing area, and a view of the entire circuit from atop the scoring tower. Plus, it’s only an hour south of the Denver Tech Center, just south of Colorado Springs, right off I-25. As part of this event, we’ll be hosting a “Hawaiian-themed” dinner on Saturday night in the track’s beautiful banquet room right after “Beer:Thirty,” where every participant will be “LEIed” at the front door. This dinner is open to everyone, so sign up for the festivities even if you’re not participating in the HPDE. Each driving day will end with the traditional “Beer:Thirty” celebration. As with all HPDE events, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from our dedicated corps of high performance driving instructors, who will give you one-on-one instruction on how to drive your car in a safe, fun and fast manner around this exciting 1.3-mile track. There will be a mandatory new drivers’ meeting held on Friday April 8th for all new drivers or participants who have not been on this track in the past (pizza and sodas included). Registration Opens February 1st, 2016 at Motorsportreg.com Details: • 2 Days: $235 for Primary Drivers, $215 for Co-Drivers • 1 Day: $180 for Primary Drivers, $160 for Co-Drivers • Driving Instructors save $50 for one-day registration, $100 for two-day registration • Non-Driving Instructors will receive a $50 per day credit • Saturday night “Hawaiian-themed” Dinner is $20 per person • NASCAR Garage space is $50 for the complete weekend starting Friday night • Non-PCA members additional $10 • Please see Motorsportreg.com for details on Free Tech Inspections at multiple area locations • On Site Tech Inspections $50 If you have any QUESTIONS please contact Dwight Kasten Jr. at [email protected].
