🎉 Let’s Hit the Road for Richard’s 60th Birthday Drive! 🎂🏁

Join us as we celebrate our amazing friend, longtime club member, Autocross Chair, and Chief Driving Instructor Richard Lutz, who’s turning the big 6-0! And what better way to celebrate than with the thing Richard loves most — driving Porsches through the mountains!

We'll kick off the morning at David Crockett High School in Jonesborough, TN, before heading down some of the region’s most scenic and exciting roads, including the legendary Rattler (NC-209) — a driver’s dream filled with:

✔️ Pastoral valley views
✔️ Tight, twisty technical sections
✔️ Thrilling climbs
✔️ A stop in the charming town of Hot Springs, NC

📍 Meeting Time: 9:00 AM
🚗 Departure: 9:15 AM sharp
🍽️ Lunch Stop: General Store in Trust, NC at 11:15 AM
🏁 Finish Line: 2:30 PM in Erwin, TN
🛣️ Route: View Map (118 miles of fun)

Fun Fact from Richard’s Birth Year – 1965:

Porsche ended production of the iconic 356, after 17 years.
The now-legendary 911 officially became Porsche’s flagship sports car.
Porsche introduced the 912, a more affordable alternative with the 356SC engine in a 911 body.
Let’s honor Richard with a birthday celebration he’ll never forget — full of good friends, great roads, and plenty of Porsche passion. 🎈
