MMEMBERSHIPEMBERSHIP MMESSAGESESSAGES Welcome to new and returning members! I can’t believe how quickly this summer is going by. I’d like to encourage everyone to come out to our Club Race this month. This is our only wheel-to-wheel race in Colorado – for those of us who don’t club race yet, this is a great event to watch and see what it’s all about or just to watch some good racing. This event requires LOTS of volunteers – corner working, pit & grid, help with the social events and prizes. If you’re not driving in the DE portion of the event, you may even get a free room! Watch your newsletter for infor- mation, or contact me and I’ll get you in touch with the right person. Feel free to call me at (303))554-7464 or email [email protected] with any questions, problems, or suggestions. Tamela

RENDEZ-VOUS À LE JUNTA Prepare yourself for a thrill-ride, as we zoom through the busy streets of Paris… err wait. Well it’s not quite the same, but you will be assured of a good time, as we push our Porsches to the limit at the scenic Le Junta (that would be French for La Junta). This is the final DE of the year, and the last RMR DE (first if you missed Aspen) and the last chance for DE Challenge Series points. After the rousing Saturday of fun, enjoy dinner and a short movie with your new and closest race friends to compare stories of the track.

FFOSSILSOSSILS,, FFELONSELONS,, FFOODOOD,, && FFUNUN AA FFABULOUSABULOUS FFALLALL FFLINGLING!! The annual RMR dinner tour is rapidly approaching. Your hosts are the Wrights (Janet and Steve) and the Rossiters (Andrea and David). The date is October 14th and once again we will meet at the Wright’s house in Castle Rock for a day of Fossils, Felons, Food and Fun. What does it all mean? Well, you’ll just have to join us to find out!
The tour commences at 8:30 AM, and will meander through the Rockies with a few surprises along the way. Also, back by popular demand, the tour will be followed by a dinner and special wine tasting at La Petite Maison in Colorado Springs. This was a big favorite in last year’s Fall Tour.
Cost for the tour is only $40 per car. If you would like to join us for dinner and the wine tasting, it is $40 per person. You may do one or both it’s, up to you. Those of you who joined us last year had a great time. Come back and join us again-and tell your friends.
On line registration will be available.
