Welcome to 2025!
As I write this, it’s January 4, and a chilly -25°F outside, having just returned from a week in Mexico. Now, it’s time to start thinking about and planning for our upcoming driving season.
Looking Back at Last Year
2024 was a busy year for us, with a record number of activities and events. Thanks to everyone’s participation and support, we had a fantastic season. If you have any ideas or suggestions for the coming year, we’d love to hear from you. We’re currently working on our driving calendar, and expect to have more details on other events as soon as possible.
Our region boasts nearly 180 car-owning members. It’s something we can be proud of. During our events last summer, we had at least 120 unique cars and members join in. When compared to other regions, that’s a high participation rate—thank you all for being a part of our vibrant community!
Upcoming Events to Keep in Mind
- Porsche Parade – Oklahoma City (July 6-12)
The annual Porsche Parade will be held in Oklahoma City this year. Registration typically opens in January and sells out quickly. If you’re interested, I encourage you to visit the PCA website, familiarize yourself with the Parade page, and learn the registration process. A few of us are planning to attend and compete in the Concours, so it looks like we’ll have a strong showing from our region. - Loonacy Race Weekend – Brainerd, Minnesota (July 11-13)
Hosted by the Nord Stern Region, the Loonacy race weekend is a great event to experience. Last year, we had 15 cars participate and sold out the accommodations available to us. We’re planning to include this event on our calendar again this year. Given that it falls close to Parade, it could be a fun idea for those of us attending Parade to stop by Brainerd on the way back home. - Run for the Hills – Black Hills, South Dakota (Late August, typically before Labor Day)
This event is hosted by the South Dakota Region and tends to sell out quickly. Last year, we had a great turnout with 5 cars from our region. Keep an eye out for registration dates as they become available. - Fall Treffen – Jackson Hole, Wyoming (October 5-9)
A few of us are planning to attend the fall Treffen in Jackson Hole. Registration opens on Wednesday, June 11, so be sure to mark your calendars!
A Special Thanks
A heartfelt thank you to our departing board members: Dennis Duncan, and Linda Hogue. Your contributions have been invaluable, and we wish you all the best.
Celebrating PCA’s 70th Anniversary
2025 marks the 70th anniversary of the PCA, and our region, along with many others, will be hosting a special event on the anniversary date—September 13th. Stay tuned for more details!
In Closing
Let’s make 2025 a year to remember—have fun, enjoy your cars, and take the time to meet new people. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
