BREAKING NEWS from the Y. O. Ranch Hotel in Kerrville TX –
5 STARS & 2 THUMBS UP for HCR’s CO-CHAIR GORDIE ROBBINS and his PYT TEAM,who contributed to ensuring a safe and successful 3rd Annual 2025 PICK-YER-TOUR WEEKEND !
Together with our friends from the Maverick Region (Dallas), over 175 vehicles and more than 300 participants enjoyed a weekend facing off against the Twisted Sisters, following the pavement and then intentionally venturing off into the dirt, leisurely winding their way through the Hill Country, or, as the bravest of brave Porsche owners, taking their vehicles completely off-road only to return with the dirtiest Porsches ever seen!
THANK YOU GORDIE, the HCR PYT TEAM, and the many, many HCR members who stepped up and volunteered the entire weekend. You made us all proud to be HCR members!
MANY THANKS also go out to our PYT SPONSORS: PORSCHE AUSTIN; XPEL AUSTIN & XPEL DALLAS; and ClubReg. Your continued support for the PTY Event and the “Dirty Porsche Contest” is invaluable. We appreciate all you do for us!

296 W Mercer St. Dripping Springs, TX 78620
We will meet in the parking lot between EDWARD JONES and NESTHAVEN PROPERTIES.
DOIN’ COFFEE & DONUTS IN DRIPPIN’ meet on Dripping Springs’ HISTORIC MERCER STREET. “Taking a step back in time,” is a common phrase you will hear as you stroll down Mercer Street in downtown Dripping Springs, enjoying the architecture of buildings, many of which were built between 1870 and 1940. Mercer Street was home to some of the first businesses in Dripping Springs. Downtown, you will find unique and eclectic storefronts and businesses full of energy, entertainment, and accessibility for folks of all ages.
Also, located downtown is the actual “dripping springs”, the landmark that gave Dripping Springs its name. Located on the west end of Mercer Street, this specific area consists of lush, fern-covered limestone ledges which consistently drip water into a small stream. This area of Dripping Springs is located at the west end of Mercer Street near The Homestead and is delineated by a granite marker. You can get a glimpse of the springs by parking at the Visitor’s Bureau parking lot, locating the FedEx mailbox and following the limestone stairs down to the creek. Coffee, breakfast items, and restrooms are available across the street at MAZAMBA COFFEE ROASTERS.
This is a very informal “come as you are” gathering, providing a great opportunity to chat with your fellow Porsche enthusiasts while drinking a cup of coffee & showing off your own Porsche beauty! Swing by at your leisure.
GET TOGETHER IN DRIPPING SPRINGS is a standing “no host” get-together in The Hill Country on the 2nd Sunday morning of each month. No reservation is needed, but please contact Social Chair Bill Foster with any questions at bill.foster@hcrpca.org. Thank you, Bill! More Details HERE

Travis County Expo Center
7311 Decker Lane, Austin TX 7872
Join us for a repeat performance at the Travis County Expo Center. HCR’s Winter Autocross confirmed that the designated parking lot is perfect for running many laps. It features a series of lanes with parking spaces, but no curbs, so wide sweeping turns are out; however, all of your favorite features—slaloms, different radius turns, a few straightaways and of course, running over a few cones —should make this a fun and exciting event. We love having experienced and novice Autocrossers join us. We will have our usual group of instructors, a novice walk, loaner helmets, coffee and donuts, and more. The price remains just $45 for PCA members and $55 for all others.
