Cold temperatures combined with a little rain made for slippery conditions on Saturday at PGP Motorsports Park. No course records were set, but plenty of smiles from the 40+ Avants members who participated.

Congratulations to Avants member Jarrod Dailey for creating the winning design in a contest that we put together with Blipshift and Griot’s Garage.

Any gearhead who is a father will tell you that it's their dream for their kids to grow up with a passion for cars. Well, Mike wanted to increase the odds so he wore a Porsche t-shirt to the hospital when Andrew was born. Looks like the strategy worked.....at least for BMWs!

Christian is proof that car enthusiasts are just kids playing with grown-up Hot Wheels. Like all Avants members, Christian is a true gearhead who loves all cars, no matter their worth. From Mercedes-Benz W210 estates to Lamborghinis, he appreciates them all.
