It was a hot day at the track with good attendance. On Saturday we had the Mark Taylor and Erik Behrendsen’s tour bring about 20 cars from the Breakfast Club breakfast to High Plains Raceway for some lunchtime parade laps. We hope this will help bring more track addicts to our ranks. Thanks to event chairs Brian Sulley and Art Van Dyke for organizing a great DE event and all the volunteers for helping make it happen. On June 6th the annual Ability Connection charity Concours was held at Arapahoe Community College. I heard that there were almost New to RMR-PCA? 500 cars on display. I counted over 20 356’s and about 40 “newer” Porsche’s on display. I am always amazed at the array of automobiles Page 37 describes the various types that are entered in the event – in addition to the Porsches. Thanks to of activities our club members Jerry Medina for organizing the judging. regularly enjoy. Come to our next event and get involved! The deadline for this month’s newsletter is a little early and it finds me en route to Parade. We are doing it in four days and Tours, Rallies, Autocrosses, travelling through Canada north of Lake Ontario – according to my mapping programs it is the shortest route. I found out that Toronto can Driver Education Events, have traffic jams as bad as any in the U.S. Tomorrow we arrive in Jay Club Races, Car Shows, Peak a couple of days in advance of Parade. Socials and Gatherings, On June 25th there will be a Northern Colorado social at Poudre Charity Support and more! Sports Cars in Fort Collins. This is a great opportunity for those north of the Denver area who find it difficult to make our other socials, to get together with other Porsche enthusiasts. Thanks to Poudre for putting this on. Our May autocross which was cancelled due to weather has been rescheduled to June 25th as well. While it is unfortunate that it is the same day as the Poudre event, airport availability drove that date. And don’t forget we have Ladies Day coming up on July 10th. Event chairs Lisa Hunsicker and Luann Dodge have been busy for months planning this event. Ladies are encouraged to come out to this low pressure, less intimidating track to improve their driving skills and experience the full performance of their Porsches.
