January / February 2016 42 morning. Saturday morning was all about options. Option 1 was War Eagle. This drive leaves early and follow some of the tightest twisty roads you can image. Its half way point ends at War Eagle Grist Mill for breakfast and tall tales of how you squeaked through the last set of corners. The second half of the drive was more about long sweepers, eventually taking you through Withrow Springs State Park before heading back to Eureka. Option 2 was the popular Roaring River drive over the Little Golden Gate Bridge in Beaver, AR. Then wind through the Mark Twain National Forest and Roaring River State Park in Missouri. Eventually you will head across the White River back into Arkansas. Option 3 Rooster Run heads South through the Ozark hills arriving at The Country Rooster Antiques and Cafe in Green Forest, AR. You'll then head north to Missouri and enjoy Table Rock Lake before heading back to Eureka. Option 4 the beautiful Crystal Bridges drive. This one takes you along highways 62 and 72, as it leads to Bentonville, AR. Here you enjoy the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Galleries, restaurant, nature trails and the museum store all contribute to this drives popularity. Option 5 was the Beaver Dam drive. This one is casual, short and scenic. It crosses the Little Golden Gate Bridge in Beaver, AR and the Beaver Dam on Beaver Lake for great photo opportunities. Lunch time on Saturday was open. Many folks took this opportunity to tour the town, while others polished and prepped their cars for the parade through main street. Those that did a little extra polishing and not do the parade had their eyes on a larger prize, the "People's Choice" awards. This is a shine and show where cars are stationed in categories and everyone votes for a best car in its class. Voting is subjective to your taste for originality verses modified, verses daily driver, verses "what were they thinking?" As the voting winded down the evening's list of activities were just getting started. Saturday night was the banquet with dinner, awards, and the Palooza raffle. Sunday morning normally starts with an autocross. This year the autocross was dropped altogether, instead it was time for Porschephiles to say their goodbyes, with plans to see each other over the next year. Overall there were over 400 people, 260 Porsches presented, from 13 states, representing 27 PCA regions. Sounds like a pretty good gathering, right. Eureka Springs has well maintained, and very smooth roads, so next year, early in November, take a drive to Eureka Springs for the weekend. - AGELON JONES & FRED QUINTANA
