Great tech session today! Loved having Maverick Region come down and join us. Total blast!
Great event! Werks11 and Julian Avent are a fantastic resource for the community and always go above and beyond!
Julian Avent is the most knowledgeable and conscientious person I have ever encountered in my Porsche experience….which is >40 years. I was late in registering for this event, which I regret. However, Werks11 has a Coffee & Cars the 1st Saturday of each month. Always cars and interesting people to see.
Great day at Werks11
Big shout out to the Werks 11 team for great event this morning, and many thanks for hosting HCR and Maverick in style, as always!
Quick run up to Werks 11 in Temple for an interesting discussion on the correct to paint a car!

Well deserved and great news! We have an outstanding chapter.
While Charlie, myself and several other HCR members who attended the banquet were fortunate enough to go up and receive the award, the ROY award is first of all a tribute to all those volunteers and participants that supported our Region during 2020. Without you, none of this would have been possible. Hats off to those of you gave your time to organize and deliver the events and those of you who took the time to participate.
