Join us for a drive through spectacular twisties along the Umpqua River, ending at Henry Estate Winery. Bring a picnic lunch or pick up a snack / light lunch at the Lighthouse Bakery, just before the winery. If you’d like to taste wine, the cost is $5 for 5 tastes, with the fee waived if you buy a bottle. We will have two drive groups from which you can choose: Enthusiast and Touring. Overall pace will be similar, but the Enthusiast group will feel a bit quicker. RSVPs to centralchapter@cascade-pca.org are essential.

Remember: Safe driving is always paramount.

Join us as we drive some of our favorite back roads to Cottage Grove, then turn south past Cottage Grove Lake and enjoy twisty bits to Sutherlin, ultimately arriving at Reustle-Prayer Rock Vineyards in time for lunch. Reustle Vineyards will offer gourmet burgers for purchase as well as wine tasting opportunities. Early RSVPs are essential so we can let the winery know how many people are coming, how many plan to purchase food, and how many plan to taste. Please RSVP now to centralchapter@cascade-pca.org.

Plan to arrive at 9:00 AM at Lowes on West 11th in Eugene for a brief driver’s briefing and prompt 9:30 AM departure.

Aaron of Aarons Autowerks 4556 S. Pacific Hwy. Phoenix Oregon, has generously offered to conduct a Tech Session for Porsche Club Members on Saturday August 7th, from 10:00 to 12:00 pm. The topic fas not been announced yet but expect it to be something on how to make your car look, perform, or run better.

Join us for a tour of twisty backroads along the Willamette and Santiam Rivers, arriving at Oregon Garden just before noon. The route was put together by two former members and was enjoyed by all who participated the last time it was a featured PCA Drive! There are several lunch choices… picnic in the Garden, purchase a lunch at the Little Leaf Cafe in the Garden’s visitor center, eat at the Oregon Garden Resort, or choose from several good restaurants in Silverton. Admission to the Garden is $12, with discounts for AAA and Seniors; an $8 rate if we can get early RSVPs for a minimum of 15 people. So RSVP to centralchapter@cascade-pca.org soon.

Assemble at the old Shopko / new Winco on Coburg Rd near the Human Bean at 9:00 AM. We’ll roll promptly at 9:30 AM.

NOTE NEW DATE! September 25… Join us for a Drive! to the unique Steamboat Inn on the bank of the hypnotic Umpqua River.

Then we’ll hone our technical skills on a low speed, tight and twisty, autocross-like route through the Umpqua National Forest, arriving at the Steamboat Inn on Highway 138 for lunch. RSVP to centralchapter@cascade-pca.org.

Our spring Tech Session will be at Aaron’s Autowerks and will feature David Haydukiwecz who will discuss coatings (paint) and related subjects.  David has been in the coatings business for many, many years and this seems to be a good opportunity to get all your questions answered on a topic we haven’t examined before.
