So, watch out allyou autocrossers. And keep your eyes on your rear viewmirrors at the DE events.After a full day of discussions, we all jumped intocarpools and were off to visit the garage of BrucePhillips and his wife Lisa Payne-Thomas. Both are avidClub Racers, making their garage a wonder to tour.Bruce and Lisa had two cars each, and all looked brutallyfast just sitting there in the garage. Not only were thecars exciting in themselves,but since Bruce is the leadingauto paint wholesaler in New Mexico, he had paintedall four race cars in iridescent rainbows that madethem works of art view. Finally, after we had all drooledfor an hour or so, we thanked Bruce and Lisa for theirhospitality and adjourned to a local restaurant to cap offthe evening with supper and socializing as guests of theRoad Runner <strong>Region</strong> membership. Fun flowed freely,and we were all sad when the evening ended. But timemoves on, and the next day I headed my Boxster backup I-25 to Colorado Springs, looking forward to the comingyear of great AMR Porsche activities.JIM MCDONALD, MEMBER-AT-LARGEBruce and Annette Larsen ready for another tour!!Dave Banazek &Art Schuster3945 Blake Street • Denver CO 80205303 296-1188www.dartauto.com info@dartauto.comPhoto by Phyllis Godfredson.<strong>March</strong> 23, 2002RMR’sSpring Tour& RallyWhere: Prestige Imports,9201 West Colfax, DenverWhen: <strong>March</strong> 23, 20029:00 Registration and coffee10:01 First Car out!What: Entry fee is $25 per car.Rallymaster: Lee SammonsReady to clear out the carburetors inthe car and the cobwebs in the head?Come on out to RMR's annual SpringTour and Rally’.
