John Mackin, Membership Chair 2009
2009 is shaping up to be an exciting year. April kicks
off the driving season with our Spring Rally and our
Autocross School and Autocross. Also out first Drivers
Ed at High Plains Raceway!
Work on the facilities at the new track is proceeding
at a feverish pace. As I am sure you all know, paving
was completed last fall. Recently some mobile units
were moved in to serve as registration, training and
control facilities. Also tire placement is nearing completion.
Our first Drivers Education at the track will
be April 26th. After just a week registration opened
over 87 people have signed up. Don’t miss out – there
is a cap at 120. So sign up now. It looks like a fun
track to drive!
One of the things the board is wrestling with are the
fees for the new track. Track rental costs for HPR are
more expensive than other tracks in Colorado in order
to retire the debt in a reasonable period of time. Consequently,
you will see that event fees for our Drivers’
Ed events will be higher than last year.
Another big event this year will be the Porsche Parade.
Rocky Mountain Region is hosting Parade 2009
in Keystone from June 29th to July 4th. If you have
not been to a Parade this is an excellent opportunity
to go to one in your own backyard. There will be
many great events, excellent food, and hundreds of
fantastic Porsches to admire in a beautiful mountain
setting. The Parade Planning committee is working on
putting the final details into place. Registration started
early in March but there are still spots left. Again, sign
up soon.
There will be also be many opportunities to volunteer
at the different events both at Parade and at regional
rmrporschenews
events. At Parade working two ‘shifts’ will entitle you
to attend the Volunteer Party where lots of great
Door Prizes are given away (like tires).There will be
events for everyone: Concours, Autocross, TSD Rally,
Gimmick Rally, Tours, and Tech Quiz among others.
Please join us for a great Parade.
