Winter is Coming!
I am writing this as we are receiving our first measurable snowfall of the year. My driving season has come to an end. I have my 911 scheduled to get a new windshield and oil change, hopefully the snow is short lived.
How many of you share my malaise: I am always looking for my next, last Porsche. Yes, I love my 991.2 911 GT3 RS, however, at Rennsport Reunion 7 (RR7), I fell in love with the new 718 Spyder RS. Overwhelming is perhaps the only word that comes close to summarizing RR7. It was a constant succession of racing, discussion panels, car displays and the list goes on. There was something for every type of Porsche fanatic from Porsche tractor racing to the new GT4 e-Performance. I ran into at least one member from each of the Zone 6 regions.
This is the time of year we should be considering making submissions for national recognition. Each year PCA makes the following awards:
- The Ferry Porsche Trophy (PCA Region of the Year)
- The Glenn Lazar-Harry Blanchard Memorial Trophy (PCA Enthusiast of the Year)
- The Porsche (PCA) Family of the Year Award
- The PCA Public Service Awards
Zone 6 regions have received each of these awards except for Family of the Year! You cannot win if you do not enter.

Parting shot. 718 Spyder RS
Stay healthy and we will see you in the Zone.
