Metrolina Area Update by Doug Strait – Area Director
FALL COLORS AROUND THE CORNER in Metrolina!!!
Our September 16th meeting at Red Rocks Café was a fun night with lots of updates on upcoming events & drives, club race and a guest presentation. We had 34 members including 1 new members join us for a fun evening and dinner. We gathered in the parking lot before and after the meeting to check some new cars in the group and sharing ideas on modifications & upgrades. We had the big 75” TV running highlights and details for the 2027 Germany Automotive Heritage trip and a the upcoming CAROLINAS CHALLENGE CLUB RACE at CMP, which will feature a Porsche Coral to park our cars and enjoy a lunch while watching the races.
Brian Powell our past president and future president in 2027, gave a presentation on the Germany Automotive Tour he has organized for April-May 2027. Be sure to check out the scan code for more information.
Claire Deskins and new Service Advisor at GMP introduced herself to the club, featuring a ladies perspective to your Porsche.
We covered all of the fun drives, tours and driving events coming up the next few months so be sure to check the Carolinas Region PCA calendar & clubregistration.net for dates & details.
TOBACCO ROADS BIG NOTE: September was the last month for our traditional Tobacco Roads newsletter to be published. We have moved into the digital world where all club information will be available on the internet thru Google Blogger. A monthly email will be sent with a link to each areas blog. Be sure to check it out, as all Metrolina events and updates will be available there.
