A major upcoming event is our annual Holiday Party, which returns this year to Tatum Ranch Golf Club. Thanks to There was the Monthly Meeting at the Spoke & Wheel in Jan and Jerry Mackulak for planning the 2015 gathering, where Phoenix (arranged by Penny Solem), breakfast at the popular we will celebrate the holiday season, present awards, and have Soul Café in Scottsdale (thanks, LaVonne Shelker), and a the installation of officers for 2016. drive to Jerome planned by Sunday Drive Chair Gary Solem, which featured lunch at the Asylum restaurant in the historic Autocross and Driver Education performance driving series are Jerome Hotel. back in full swing after the summer hiatus. Time to dust off the helmet and see how much fun you can have on a challenging On September 19th, 75 members celebrated Oktoberfest at course at speed. Kim Kemper, Rick Althouse, Andy Schermuly, the PERA Club, a private park venue in Tempe. Yes, the and Dale Willis are the principals for making these events September date seems odd, but Sept. 19 is when the Germans happen. If you have not taken your Porsche out to one of these began the festivities in Munich! Our event featured some events, a note of caution: try it and you may become obsessed great German food provided by David Fisher (thank you to (guilty!). Kim Kemper and Michael Lucey for manning the grill), and a display of members’ Porsches organized by Jack Aman. An important note regarding the administration of the club: Dave dubbed the display, “Pre-Flight,” referring to our Travis Tonzi has turned over membership duties to Bryce annual Concours event planned for late October. There were Brown. Great thanks go to Travis for the great work he has some real nice examples of the German marque on display, done over the past few years, and to Bryce for taking over this in a German festival atmosphere. very important responsibility for the club. Special thanks to AZPCA First Lady Debbie for all her Returning from Rennsport, Debbie and I left Monterey with a help with the event. We have talked about things we can do couple other AZPCA friends. We picked up Rob and Gwen in next year to make it even more fun for everyone. After all, their Guards Red 911 when we stopped for a quick meal along I say how can you have a German car club and not celebrate I-10. Another Boxster joined our caravan on the long stretch Oktoberfest?! from Palm Springs/Indio to Arizona. Turned out to be 12 hours from Monterey to Phoenix. A long day of driving, for sure, but At the end of September a large contingent from the AZPCA with our PCA friends along the way the miles clicked off that headed to the Monterey, California area for Rennsport much faster. Reunion V, hosted by Porsche Cars North America at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Rennsport is the largest gathering of Let’s go for a drive. We’ll see you at an AZPCA event. its kind anywhere in the world, featuring celebrated Porsche racecars, renowned drivers, and Porsche collector cars. The Porsche Club of America has a presence at the event, where volunteers helped manage the 57,000 attendees (and their cars) who came to view the collector cars, the races, and the drivers who piloted Porsches to victories in races around the world. The gathering of Porsches in the various corrals was an awesome display in itself. 34 Arizona Region members met for dinner at Tarpy’s Roadhouse, and some of us spent time watching the Porsche racers above Turns 9 and 10 where Andy and Carrie Schermuly hosted us with food, beverages, and the typical AZPCA camaraderie. For me, there was too much to see and do, but too little time! I am already looking forward to the sixth edition of Rennsport Reunion.
