ANZEIGER MARKETPLACE

ORPCA’s June Dinner Gathering was held at Catfish Lou’s in Beaverton. Catfish Lou’s is more than a restaurant, they also have a HUGE billiard room. In addition, they host karaoke nights, poker nights, paint nights, and comedy events. We had a smaller intimate group of 25 due to other Porsche events going on. Michelle Bean, the owner, roped off the entire parking lot so we could all park side by side for photos and even set up a keg outside just for our group. Everyone seemed to love the catfish and socializing!

A special thanks goes to Julie Madrid, Carlos Santayana, Anh Le, Peg Ryan and Heinz Holzapfel for help before and/or during the event. From ORPCA to Jeannine - Thank you for all your work organizing and hosting. n

Autocross #4

Summer seems to have finally arrived in Portland, as we were greeted with some morning clouds which cleared by the time we kicked off the fourth autocross of the year. Your autocross team created yet another technical yet fun course for the entrants, and rewarded those who were the most tidy with their lines. There were five Porsche Caymans in the top five – are you seeing a trend here? The top ten times were all within 1.5 secs – very close competition! A tip of the hat (again) to James Paulson, who is on our course design team and managed to get by all of the Porsches in his very quick Camaro SS 1LE. V8 grunt does the job for TTOD!

Many thanks to everyone on our AX team that consistently make this program work and welcome all entrants, regardless of skill! Without all of them these events would not happen! We encourage our members to come out and experience the thrill of getting around those orange cones, and finding new skills that come with driving in this environment! Many thanks also to Stacy and Danielle who took photos for us. n
