Get Out & Drive

by Bob Kitamura, Editor

Here we are headed into the end of the year. After a very busy and successful year of Porsche related events, I am ready for some rest and relaxation during the holidays. The reason why this issue is later than usual is because I caught a bad cold for about a week which put me flat on my back! So I will hold back on cartoons for a couple of months and just focus on what we have going on and family. Next year will be another very busy Porsche year with the Porsche Parade in Palm Springs in June and the Porsche Rennsport Reunion VII happening at the end of September. In addition there is the PCA Werks Reunion will happen the end of of Car Week in Monterey on August 18th. Whew!!! That’s going to be a very busy Porsche year for some of us! We had another extremely successful year with our Autocross and Drivers Education programs under the masterful leadership of Chuck Jennings and Bob Bruington. We are so very lucky to have these two very capable and very nice guys to head up these two programs. Their leadership has made it into one of the best in the PCA nation. As they get ready for next season they will need volunteers to help during the season and more of you to participate. Especially those who have not had the opportunity to take your Porsche onto the track. It will not only be fun but it will help you to be a better driver on the streets and freeways …….. which is getting harder all the time. I will probably do this again next month but a big thanks to Jason and Bonnie Len for the use of their home for the New Members BBQ. Having it there makes it such a great event for our club and a gathering where members can easily get to know other members. I hope all of you have signed up for our Holiday Party at the San Luis Obispo Country Club that is coming up right after “Turkey Day.” I wanted to share with all of you that the most important reason for our monthly publication is to provide information of upcoming club events as well as to show all of you enjoying our club events. We also have articles from time to time of other things that our members are doing related to Porsches and car events both outside of our club and in other groups. I want to thank all of the people that it takes to get this publication done. If you go back to page 2 and look for the contributors list you will be amazed at the amount of people it takes to get this out the door monthly. None of us get compensated for what we do, we do it because we enjoy doing it. But more than that we love our club and all that we are doing for you and our Porsche-community. Thanks for all of your support over the years, those of us on the board appreciate all of you!

Now……Get Out and Drive!,
