Editor letter from the With some big shoes to fill, I take the torch from Jack Roberts and attempt to build on the Heinmiller Award-winning Escape Velocity. As I ease into the role of editor, I want to thank Jack for his help with our first issue. I know that my constant push for high resolution, high quality images and my insistence on ads submitted to proper specifications likely bordered on “nagging.” Looking forward to an increase in the overall quality, visual impact and engaging content during the coming year… the extra effort will be worth it. This is your magazine and my job is to work hard to make it the best it can be. Warm regards and best wishes, Craig Kempf CEO & Art Director, CK Communications
what we do...by the numbers By Tom Gorsuch The Space Coast Region collected data this year to better profile what we do. The following is an accounting of the 47 events held in 2009 -- 64 total event days. Our goal is to increase participation. As we all know, it’s not just the cars, it’s the people. We began the year with 366 primary members and estimated a 20% increase by year’s end. As of November we have 710 primary, family and affiliate members. We have been leading the 2009 factored growth contest for most of this year and hope to bring the trophy back to the Space Coast. The Space Coast Region runs from Volusia County down through Indian River County. Each area offers its own unique opportunities for events and participation. There is, literally, something for everybody. The charts below illustrate event distribution and event type. Our social events include banquets and monthly Kaffee gatherings and we are continuing our efforts to hold these events throughout the three-county region. Our driver skill development events include autocross and drivers education (DE). Our driver skill events are held in cooperation with other Zone 12 Regions. Thanks to Citrus Region for including us in their autocross series and thanks to Gold Coast, Suncoast and Citrus Regions for welcoming us into their DE programs. Technical events are typically educational in nature and include car care, shop talk sessions and group participation at the race track. The final category, touring, is very popular but occurs less frequently due to logistics. We are considering a monthly mid-week “Dash and Dine” for 2010. Our most popular event is the December Holiday Party and we recorded record participation for the Collier Collection Tour, a twoday event, which included a tour to Naples and a pre-tour party with special guest, Derek Bell. The popular Sunrise to Sunset Rally had 85 cars from Suncoast, Citrus and Space Coast Regions. These events can require substantial planning but the appreciation of the participants makes the effort very rewarding for all involved. Our Region has raised over $6,600 on behalf of our 2009 charity, the Women’s Center in Brevard. We have promoted five charity events for the Women’s Center including the Venetian Masked Ball, the Sunrise to Sunset Rally banquet, Summer Banquet, Panamera Test Drives at the multi-region Daytona OktoberFAST, and the Oktoberfest Picnic and Concours. We have won the prestigious Heinmiller award for the best newsletter in all of the PCA. Twentytwo authors contributed articles for Escape Velocity in 2009 and advertising revenue has continued to increase each quarter for the past two years. Help us to continue to be the best that we can be. Let us hear your ideas, join us in upcoming events and be sure to bring your Porsche enthusiast friends.
