GCR F1 VIEWING PARTY

Steve Kidd , GCR Historian

On May 7th, Gold Coast Region did a repeat of their very popular F-1 Race Viewing Party and People’s Choice Car Show. While very similar to last year, we had a couple of new and exciting changes.

Many of the race fans arrived early to watch the Carrera Cup Race where 40 identically prepared Porsche racers battled it out on the Miami circuit.

While we had a People’s Choice car show like last year, the big difference was that the men and ladies voted separately with different colored ballots. The mens’ choice and a ladies’ choice were both selected. The Ladies chose Nick Thilen’s 993 as their favorite, while the men chose Jeff Lewis’s GT3 as their favorite car.

Since Mother’s Day was only a week away, the male hosts prepared a special cocktail for the female attendees. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY.

Watching the F-1 race on ten plus big-screen tv’s with so many of your favorite friends is about as good as it gets. Plenty to eat and drink, great socializing, and an activity that could very well become a yearly event. By the way, the People’s Choice winners each received a set of GCR 60th Anniversary wine glasses.

Until next year, Steve & Dottie signing off as your Race Party Coordinators.
