Porsche Escape and Fall Color Tour Pix

Spring Up Pix!

Dan Phillips supplied a bundle of great pictures of the annual journey to Traverse City, Amber Door coughed up a CDs worth, and we've just added an additional large batch from Jeff Simonis. Check them all out! 

Psssst!  Looking for a Good Dinner?

The gang descended on the Clover Bar in Grand Haven in September for the Dinner Drive.  Dinner was good!  Amber Door and her ever-present camera were present.

IROC 2009 Is a Wrap

The 2009 IROC race season has ended with lots of smiles, and lots of improved drivers.  Big fun was had by all.  Consider joining us next year.  Colin Carpenter, IROC Lackey, has provided the official results which are posted here.  And Amber Door has provided some pictures of IROC III.

Metro Cruise

Delta Porsche hosted a huge turnout of WMR Club members on Friday night, and a lot of us gathered along 28th Street on Saturday.  To say we saw a little bit of everything is an understatement.  See for yourself!

How Can You Tell...

...that Greg Koning is at the track?  Look for the large group of guys pushing his dead Corvette around the paddock.  (Sorry, Greg!  You know we love ya!)  Lots and lots of new memories were created at Grattan for the 2009 Grand Prix driver's education event.  Three of the most beautiful days in the history of Michigan allowed what seemed like unlimited track time.  Lots and lots of photos from Jeff Simonis and Amber Door are now online.  I'm telling ya... it was RADICAL!

Happy, Smiling Faces

Driving your car the way it was meant to be driven can really make you smile (see above).  That's what happened at the last IROC event of the year.  Check our the new pictures from Amber.

ONE MILLION PICTURES!

Our website now has over a million pictures!  OK, technically it's only 7,798, but it sure seems like more.  Be sure to check out the Pix! page.  Recent additions include the trek to Oxford, Ohio for "Porsches to Oxford," over a hundred pictures from the always fun "Spring Up to Traverse" event, and a bunch of pictures from the Gimmick Rally

The Porsche Club of Kalamazoo

The Porsche Club of Kalamazoo had a great dinner drive to the Boatwerks in Holland in August.  Wait a hold it!  The Porsche Club of Kalamazoo?  Not exactly, but it does have a nice ring to it.  Amber Door has contributed a boatload of new photos from August events, including the WMR Picnic and the 28th Street Metro Cruise.  Check 'em out on the Pix! page.
