Our first 2019 back roads scenic drive on April 13th will start at Leith Porsche in Cary at 10:00am and end up at the Pik-N-Pig BarBQ at the ‘off the beaten track’ Carthage airport (73 miles each way). Once we’ve had our fill of watching small aircraft takeoff and land while enjoying some of the greatest BBQ (on our personal tabs, cash only) that NC has to offer, for those willing to continue we’re back onto the back roads to Southern Peak Brewery in Apex for a local brew (or two) to cap off the afternoon! Although this is primarily a Porsche Club event, non-members and other makes are welcome to help us raise as much as possible for Parkinson’s Disease!
The 2019 PCA Los Angeles Region Drive Toward a Cure Tour will kickoff after our monthly members breakfast on April 27, with a route leading up north to Ojai, through some spectacular driving roads, and back down to Los Olivos and wine country. We are investigating the option of an overnight stay in Buellton for a great weekend away! Watch for more details as this develops…
Take part in a drive that starts in Sacramento, traversing some wonderful Gold Country Roads culminating with BBQ at the new “Corsa and Strada”. More details to come.
