Good evening. Hope all is well with you. This pandemic just doesn’t want to go away. Looks like we may be on our second wave. Keep up your efforts to stay safe so we can put this behind us. Let’s keep up the good work and look forward to the day we can all get together in person.
CONDOLENCES
All of HCR sends their condolences to VP Charlie Sparks. Charlie’s Dad passed last night after a brief battle with cancer. We’ll provide more information as it becomes available.
BYLAWS REVISION
We are in the process of revising our bylaws. We look at them every 3 – 5 years. The primary revisions will be for the term limits for the HCR elected officers and changing the make up the Standing Committees. Per our existing bylaws, the process is review by the Executive Council and review by the Board of Directors. After those reviews, the draft is submitted to membership for their review. After the membership, reviews the final draft is submitted to the membership for approval. We anticipate submitting the draft to the membership about the second week of November. Then submission for approval by the end of November. If we hold to this schedule and the new bylaws are approved by the membership, they will take effect January 1, 2021.

Looks awesome. Cannot wait to read it!
What is "Panaroma"? A special issue for Porsche owners in Rome? LOL ;-)
A rare sight for central Texas but we love it!

It started with check-in (and coffee) at the Randalls in Leander. The weather was crisp - only in the 50s as we were listening to our instructions during the driver’s meeting. But the warm camaraderie of the HCR club members made up for the chilly temperatures.
There were two groups of about 10 cars each and we started our 97 mile drive through the beautiful northwest Hill Country around 9am. After a quick rest stop outside of Marble Falls, we continued our spirited, scenic drive on our way to the Canyon Grille in Rough Hollow.
Along the way, we encountered some new roads on our fun journey and even came across some friends in the middle of the road. - as they say, the cows were out standing in their field 😂.
This was just one more excellent event that HCR's team put together for the members. And it was a very safe outing, since it was just you and your favorite four-wheel friend spending some quality time together. A perfect way to escape from this crazy year.
Thanks to our friends at GT International for a great time. Sorry about the tech session.
Fun drive. Thanks Tuffy and Chris.
I must have forgot this event/drive was happening. I actually went for an early morning drive out to Marble Falls and was having coffee at a place on 1431 and saw both groups come by. Looked great seeing all the Porsche cars together. I’ll definitely join a future drive.
I always manage to miss these either to previous plans or bad planning in my part!
Are the drives themselves always capped? Bummed to be on the waitlist.
Looks like a great turnout & experience! Cheers. 🏎
When is something like this happening again !?
Wishing all a happy and safe Thanksgiving

Riley winds up an awesome season with a win and a second place. and second place overall in the standings. Not bad for an 18 year old gentleman. And I mean that. Riley is a real gentleman and Hill Country Region is proud to call him a member.
Congrats Riley!
