January / February 2016 40 Ever wonder what to do in November to enjoy your Porsche. How about a drive to Eureka Springs, Arkansas? Sounds like a really bad punch line headed your way, but never fear, its real. Every year for the last 11 years an event has been happening in Eureka Springs. PCA Palooza, is a must see event for every Midwest Porsche enthusiast. What makes this event so special is the enthusiasm of its leading pair, Leonard and Melody Zechiedrich. They, along with a team of cooperative members from PCA's White River, Ozark, and Cimarron Regions host a relaxed, casual weekend with a fun group of Porsche people driving the spectacular Ozark mountain roads. My friends and I talk about, and eagerly anticipate, Palooza for several months at our weekly Saturday Porsche breakfasts. How many will attend? Will the weather once again be fantastic? What Porsches will we catch a glimpse of this year? The anticipation of this year and the many great stories of years past are indicative of what Palooza has become. The last Porsche hurrah for the year. The trip to Palooza from Kansas City is short enough for a quick morning run and long enough to really enjoy the ride. To say that there was a true variety of Stuttgart's finest is an understatement. The glorious simplicity of the 356s, the timeless lines of air cooled 911s, the rumble of eight cylinder 928s, the turbo spool in 951s and the modern sophistication in today's Cayenne, Macan, and a stunning 918, all in attendance. This year Palooza events started on Thursday morning. First up, an extended Ozarks Wine A November Getaway PORSCHE PALOOZA By Agelon "T" Jones & Fred Quintana SPECIAL INTEREST
