November 2007 http://ltr.pca.org/ FEATURES Presidents Page By Mike Matthews Hello everyone. I’m Mike Matthews (region VP) and as Steve stated I will be writing the President’s newsletter while he and Jeanne are in Florida for the winter. Steve, I hope you enjoy Rennsport III and please do share your pictures. I hope those of you who went to the Fall Derby with the Kentucky region had a great time. The board of directors are in the process of setting the calendar for the next year and we need your input. What is it you want to do? Are you into social get togethers? Into driving your cars? Are you into getting together for monthly dinners? What about driving experiences (Des)? Autocrossing? Are you into track events? A club is what you make it and without your input we may not be doing the right things. If you have any suggestions please send me email ([email protected]) or give me a call (217-419-6110) so we can discuss it. One of the events the board is considering for next year is a teen driving school. This school will take place in the late March or early April time frame. The purpose of the event is to teach teenagers how to control their vehicles in various situations. This is still in November 2007 the early planning stages and if it does happen it will be in conjunction with another group that sponsors this type of event. We will let you know more as it develops. Each year we elect three members to the board of directors. These positions have voting rights and are designed to help run the Lincoln Trail Region. You will find a list of current nominees in this month’s newsletter. We are accepting nominations for the board of director positions until November 15. At that time we will mail out ballots to all region members. The mailed ballots must be received by Nov 30. We will also accept ballots at the December 1st Christmas party. The ballots will be counted and results disseminated to the membership shortly afterwards. If you have an interest in one of these positions please contact Darren Sawyer (rnhockey@ yahoo.com), Dana Sawyer (rnracer60@ yahoo.com) or Mike Matthews (mikel@ mchsi.com). This is the beginning of November and many of us are getting ready to put our Porsches into winter storage. Are you http://ltr.pca.org/ AAHHHH! Finally a chance to relax while the ready for that? Is your car ready? Or are you wanting one more drive before you put your car up for the winter? If so give another club member a call and go for a drive! Enjoy your Porsche and go for a drive, Mike Grandpa’s Addiction My grandpa has an affliction, Well it is more like an addiction. You will see him when he is coming, The motor will be humming. He has had all the colors of the German flag, And a silver one too. Some have been used, And some are brand new. By now you may have guessed, He spends a lot of loot. Because it is a Porsche, There is no substitute!!

For those that haven’t attended a Parade in the past two years, the Zone Challenge is an event that pits one Zone against another in a variety of activities with the overall winner being announced at the end of Parade. Next year, there was talk of possibly having a virtual driving simulator contest as part of the Zone Challenge. tain national and local media coverage for PCA activities and people, and to help our Regions do the same.
