• RSAs at Parade Portland Article

Parade 2006 was a lot of fun. Portland is a nice place and the surrounding countryside is littered with “Porsche” roads. If you like to drive challenging roads with twisties, Oregon has some of the twistiest - if you prefer a more sedate scenic drive - OR comes complete with some of the best scenery. Portland International Raceway (PIR) was within 2 miles of the Headquarters Hotel for the track junkies, and was enjoyed to varying degrees by autocrossers and Drivers Ed participants. There were tours, rallies and concours (complete with an RS America corral) to suit almost all tastes, plus numerous other activities all crammed within one single week.

• Upping the ante in the highest mileage RSA contest.

After hearing about Dennis W of CA's RSA which has 127,000 miles last month, I heard from Ken M of CA who has 159,500 miles on his - which I think is remarkable. Then, I heard from Ed M of IL who said

“I have owned my guards red RSA since new - so I'm sure the mileage is correct. I turned over 181,000 on Sunday, July 2, on the way home from the US Grand Prix at Indy”

Which makes Ed our new high mileage champion! If you can beat that with more miles on your RSA .......... please e-mail me and let me know.

• RSA personalized license plates.

If you have a personalized license plate on your RSA and would like to add it to our gallery, simply snap a digital pic of it and email it to me.

• On October 8th there will be a gathering of RSAs at the Coronado Speed Festival in San Diego

Each year in October San Diego's North Island Naval Air Station hosts the Coronado Speed Festival this year it is on the weekend of 7 - 8 October and in conjunction with San Diego Region of PCA there is pre-event brunch and caravan to complimentary reserved Corral Parking on Sunday 8th. For details including the meeting place and time, how to get your complimentary Corral parking pass and how to purchase event tickets - click here.

The PCA RS America registry will be there in force and there could very well be a record breaking number of RSAs gathering in San Diego.

So mark your calendars and please e-mail me if you are interested in participating.

Remember, 30 RSAs gathered in Hershey PA at Parade 2005 ....... so 30 is the number to beat ........... let's see if Southern California RSA owners can give those PA lads a run for their money!
