Christmas Tree Pass Off-Road Adventure
On November 17th we hosted our first off-road driving adventure. The group met up on a windy Sunday morning and headed towards Laughlin, NV. After a quick stop to check fluids and do any final preparations, we were off to the trailhead. The short 17 mile off-road trail lended great fun and an amazing first experience for those of us who have never taken our Porsche’s off-road.

After completion of the Christmas Tree Pass trail, the group stopped for lunch in Laughlin then went our separate ways home. We would like to extend a huge thank you the guys at Trophy Performance for always assisting our members whether they’re in the city, at the track, or even off-road. The adventure would not have been possible without our two fantastic trail bosses, Todd Trimble and Scott Hatcher. 
Porsche Entering Formula E
Friday was the opening day for the 2019-2020 season for Formula E. Both Porsche and Mercedes made announcements that they will both have factory backed race teams.

With Porsche's introduction to the electric car segment, the decision to compete in Formula E was a no brainer.

At the time of writing this the results of the race has not been run yet.
