Drifting: COTA 2014 By John Hamilton, Region President Yes! We have gained agreement in principle to return to the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in 2014 for a combined Club Race and Drivers’ Education program. We are scheduled for Friday-Saturday- Sunday, May 2-3-4. Watch for more details as plans get finalized. “What does this mean to me?” you might ask, if you’re not a Club Racer or DE-er? By renting COTA, it gives ALL our members the opportunity to visit one of the newest (1-1/2 years old) and best-designed race tracks in the world. You can watch Porsches race there without paying an admission fee, with the added benefit that the COTA track is right in our back yard in Austin, Texas. So pencil it in on your calendar and watch for more details as they emerge in the upcoming weeks. It would make a great family outing!!! “Inclusion”: our key word for 2014. One of the ways in which we’re promoting the “inclusion” of more Porsche owners in 2014 is by adding special articles to Slipstream each month on some of our historic and famous Porsche models. We’ve asked the 356 Tub Club, the Porsche 928 Club, and Porsche 914 owners to contribute articles about the happenings in their clubs, as well. Porsche has an incredible history, and the historic significance of each of these models cannot be over-emphasized. Look for the inaugural article on the 356 Tub Club in this issue! Mav of the Month As many of you know, our charitable effort is primarily focused on supporting the Huffaker- Hughes Hope House in Mineral ALEXIS A. V. CAMPBELL, Proprietor 1235 William D. Tate Ave Grapevine, TX 76051 Wells, which supports families in many of the surrounding counties. For the past two years, that effort has been headed-up by our Charity Chair, Chris Hamilton. Thanks to her efforts, and your very generous contributions of gently-used clothing, bathroom supplies and Walmart gift cards, we have been able to help provide support for the families who desperately need our help throughout the year. So for her many trips to the Hope Shelter, and her work on drumming up support for the home, we honor Chris this month with our token of appreciation, Mav of the Month. Congratulations, Chris, and enjoy your gift card to the Silver Fox restaurant in Grapevine! 2 February
