High Gear - Rocky Mountain Region Porsche Club - Porsche Club of ...

unoff area Jeremy Rosenberger, Editor upcoming events
The original plan
for this month’s
issue of High Gear
looked a lot different
than what you’re
reading now.
As I’ve written
about in the past, the feature article
and other major content for an issue
are typically set a month or so
in advance. Some articles and event
coverage appear as space permits, but
I generally know the “broad strokes”
well ahead of press time. And that’s
the way the planning for this issue was
going.
Then a funny thing happened. Most
of you have probably heard of Rennsport
Reunion IV, which took place last
month at Mazda Raceway Laguna
Seca. But little did I know how many
RMR members were actually attending
(about a dozen of us, that I’m aware
of). Well, that’s interesting, I thought.
But then Dan Carlson reminded me
that back in June, he had offered to
provide some coverage of the event—
which he then delivered. Then, Diane
Collier (who incidentally is a former
editor of the RMR newsletter), upon
her return from Rennsport, offered to
do the same. How could I refuse?
And so this issue is full of all things
Rennsport. It’s clear that those of us
who didn’t attend missed a spectacular
event, but there’s always Rennsport
Reunion V! Start making plans
now—and if you find yourself in need
of press credentials, High Gear will be
here for you!

But since the next Rennsport Reunion
is still a few years away, you
may be pleased to learn (or you may
already know by now) that another
Porsche-related event of national significance
is coming to our own backyard
next year—or at least to our own
PCA Zone. I’m talking about Porsche
Parade, which returns to the West
next summer, specifically Salt Lake
City. Yes, I know I’ve written about this
recently, so I’ll stop now. You’ll be seeing
the Parade publicity articles appear
within these pages soon enough!
Back to the subject of the newsletter,
we have some exciting content
in the pipeline. So even though there
won’t be many events to report on
over the next couple of months, High
Gear will still bring you an evening’s
worth of reading enjoyment as you
warm yourself by the fire this winter.
Among the upcoming stories are a
member caravan to Miller Motorsports
Park in Utah, coverage of the Concorso
Italiano (which, despite the name, actually
included some Porsches), a pair
of RMR members’ Porsches with some
unusual powertrains, and a wrap-up of
October’s “Cones Are a-Fallin’” autocross,
which just missed the cutoff for
this issue. So stay tuned—and consider
sending in your own stories as well!
The pipeline can never be too full...
On a final note, hopefully this issue
will reach most of you in time to inform
you of the November membership social,
which (if all goes well) will include
a screening of the film “Senna.” Details
on the opposite page—see you there!
