Mid February 2025

 

 

Greetings members of the ARPCA,

If you missed the vintage mini-Porsche 911 auction, I have good news!

Meet the Nine64 Turbo Junior.  It’s an electric go-kart designed for Porsche enthusiasts. This mini replica of the Porsche 964 is 7.2 feet long and 3.6 feet wide, making it suitable for full-sized adults with a 650-lb weight capacity. It comes in two versions: a 3,000W model reaching 45 mph, and a 4,000W performance model that can hit 65 mph. Features include LED headlights, an engine sound simulator, and a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive setup for an authentic driving experience. The go-kart offers a range of 18.5 to 25 miles per charge, and you can customize it with different paint and livery options. While not street-legal, the Nine64 Turbo Junior is perfect for private tracks or parking lots.

These go-karts are made to order and delivery takes about 40 days. So, in the meantime we have plenty of events to take your mind off the anticipation of delivery.  Examples include but are not limited to:

  • The Mid-Winter Party at Rosedale Technical College on February 22nd. Registration closes on Thursday 20th.
  • Dan Yaworski, Director of Sales & Training at Autoality, has invited ARPCA members to participate in Autoality Club Day on March 1st.
  • The Women of ARPCA has updated their Driving Academy at PittRace. It will now take place March 16th

Here’s to seeing you out there,

Porsche Touring Crew – Atria’s – February 25th

After some discussion and believing that the weather in late February might still be iffy at best, the call was for a more or less local establishment with a strong menu and good close by parking. Atria’s in Peter’s Township just below Donaldson’s Crossroads was the call. Good burgers, great steaks and an exemplary crab cake made this decision easier.

Our initial reservation is for 25 as we are in our own private room so please reserve your spot early at MSR, so to not be disappointed.
