Happy New<br />

Year!<br />

We trust<br />

that you, your<br />

family, and your<br />

Porsche survived<br />

the Mayan Apocalypse,<br />

because<br />

we have another event-filled<br />

year in store for you, your family,<br />

and your Porsche in <strong>2013</strong>.<br />

For those of you who can’t wait<br />

to hit the back roads, our Sunday<br />

Drive crew is planning a half dozen<br />

or so tours designed especially to<br />

put a grin on your face and a howl<br />

in your Porsche’s exhaust note.<br />

For those in a more competitive<br />

frame of mind, we have lots to<br />

choose from. Travis and Robyn<br />

Howard have scheduled six<br />

Autocross events, some at a new<br />

venue in Crandall, southeast of<br />

Dallas, as an alternative location<br />

for those of you in the eastern<br />

half of the Metroplex who have<br />

been reluctant to make the trek<br />

to Mineral Wells. And if you have<br />

been wondering what Autocrossing<br />

is all about, we are hosting<br />

another one of our very popular<br />

Autocross schools in Crandall as<br />

well. This is the year to give it a try!<br />

We also have six Time Trials lined<br />

up for you, including one at Motor-<br />

Sport Ranch, as well as three different<br />

course layouts at the Mineral<br />

Wells airport - something different<br />

every time! If you have been looking<br />

for a competitive driving event<br />

in which you have to use fourth<br />

gear, try a Time Trial on for size.<br />

If you want to learn how to safely<br />

and effectively drive your Porsche<br />

at speed on a racetrack without<br />

having to worry about actual<br />

wheel-to-wheel racing, we have five<br />

Drivers’ Education events planned<br />

this year. A trained and qualified<br />

instructor will help you get the<br />

most out of your Porsche in a safe<br />

and friendly environment on our<br />

two local racetracks, Eagles Canyon<br />

Raceway and MotorSport Ranch.<br />

For those of you who prefer<br />

to socialize outside of your cars,<br />

our monthly Happy Hours are<br />

a great way to get involved. First<br />

social event this year: the All<br />

Member Party on <strong>January</strong> 26.<br />

Finally, for a behind-the-scenes<br />

glimpse at how the 50 Years of<br />

Porsches event was staged at<br />

Texas Motor Speedway back in<br />

April, go to mav.pca.org and click<br />
