Colorado roads are legendary. We have some of the twistiest, highest, and most dramatic roads in the world, with backdrops to match. Perfect for a fun drive with your Porsche friends. These roads were made for our great handling cars. Alpine Mountain Region and Rocky Mountain Region have a reputation for putting on some of the best tours in all of PCA, and we plan to give you a sampling of what we do every year, traditionally drawing PCAers from all over North America to our tours.

We plan to offer an array of tours during the 2009 Parade unlike any ever seen at previous Parades. This will include a full slate of guided tours, all of which will be available to attendees as self-guided tours as well. This will satisfy both those who like to drive with other Porsches, and those who like to take tours at a time of their choosing, and at their own pace.

• Georgetown Railroad Tour
• Gamblers’ Tour

Full-Day Tours – guided (also available as self-guided)
• 10th Mountain Division Tour

5K Fun Run/Walk
July 4th, 8:30 AM Start

Start off your 4th of July Celebration by joining fellow PCA members in a mountain air 5K fun run or walk at the 2009 Parade.

This beautiful course starts off from the Keystone Lakeside Village and winds through pine forests, along the Snake River and finishes up at scenic Keystone Lake. The 3.2 mile course is on a paved running path away from traffic and is mostly flat.

Prizes will be awarded by gender, age group, and PCA region.

Take home a free event logo running hat and a goodie bag for your efforts.

Bring the whole family out for the morning, and run or walk in the Colorado Mountains at the 2009 Parade.

Parade 2009 Golf Tournament

The Parade 2009 Golf Tournament will reinstate a longstanding Parade tradition of hosting a spectacular golf tournament. In past years, this has been a very popular event for Parade attendees, including none other than Peter Porsche himself (an avid golfer)!

Want to hit it as far as Tiger (the ball goes about 20% farther up here)? Want to play golf in a truly spectacular mountain setting? Plan to tee it up with us at the spectacular high-altitude mountain venue!

The site of the 2009 Parade Golf Tournament will be a truly memorable one. The Keystone River Course. The course has won many major awards. It is also one of the most dramatic in the country, with several tee to green drops of 50+ feet, including the amazing 16th, with a 194 foot drop, and an 18th hole featuring no less than 12 bunkers! You have to see this course to believe it.

This is a round of golf you won't soon forget. A world class course, a perfect setting, and Porsche friends. It doesn't get any better than that! To make the tournament fun and approachable for participants of all abilities, it will be held in a scramble format, with trophies awarded at the conclusion of the round. This is sure to be a popular Parade event, so plan on signing up!

2009 Parade Gimmick Rally
A Cleverlike Pic-Tour Rally*

Our rally takes you through ski towns, mining towns and some of the most beautiful scenery that our wonderful state of Colorado has to offer and includes part of the 82-mile “Top of the Rockies” Roadway. This year’s Parade Gimmick Rally differs slightly from past formats in that it is shorter and only mildly competitive. We plan to have awards for the most observant and lucky entrants.

The rally has been designed to fit YOUR schedule. You may run it at anytime during the week except Wednesday, because on that day, there will already be a lot of our cars out on the roads doing the TSD Rally. If you perchance pass a checkpoint manned by volunteers, confusion may reign.

There will be two versions of the Gimmick Rally (one short, one longer). If you wish, you may also stop along the route for shopping, eating or whatever. Notes on some historical places you pass will be provided.

Rallyists will be given a set of Route Instructions that CLEARLY provide the way to go with no tricks or traps intended. You will be asked to identify where photos of objects, landmarks, signs etc. were taken on the route. There will be twelve, out of order, color photos and the point where they were taken must be determined by indicating what Route Instruction they come after. Because this is intended to be a low key event, no tire warm-up, no odometer check and no calculations will be necessary. All photos can be easily identified on the fly. There will be some harder to find ones and some questions to be answered, but it is anticipated that greater than 50% of the cars will be observant enough to answer the questions and get all the valid photos at the correct location.

This brings up the “lucky” part. Each car number in this aforementioned “all correct” group will be allowed to participate in a drawing for prizes scheduled on Friday. Therefore, even the better competitors must also rely on luck to take home a prize.

The Gimmick Rally is also open to non-Porsches to allow those attendees who have chosen not to drive to the Parade or wish to use their tow vehicle rather than their race car so they may be able to enjoy additional events. Non-Porsches must still have a limited type safety inspection.

So, sign up during registration and get out and enjoy the driving, take in some nice scenery. There is just enough competitiveness to keep things interesting but the frustration level low.

Radio Controlled Porsche Events

Recognizing that car nuts, and we are car nuts, enjoy their cars in many flavors, Radio Controlled Car Events have been part of many past Parades. After a hiatus, the Steamboat Parade marks the third Parade in a row to offer an RC Cars event. Some think of it as a “kids event.” Again this year it will be open to “kids of all ages.” We will have classes for various ages, with course modifications as needed to present the correct amount of challenge.

Eligibility:	Each car eligible for awards must be a replica of a full-sized “real” Porsche. All years and models are eligible, including unique Porsche powered racecars, such as Lotus-Porsche, March GTP, Porsche Indy cars, etc. Very special Porsches, such as tractors, “Cars” movie replicas are also welcome. Due to varied participation in this event, classes may need to be changed at the time of the event to provide best competition, and fairness to all competitors. PORSCHE BODIES ONLY
Classes:	RC Kids Autocross Classes: 8 years old and younger – Toy Class 9-12 year old- Toy Class 13-17 year old – Same as Adult RC Teenage & Adult Classes: Toy Class Toy class is defined as a pre-assembled model that is NOT designed for rebuild or significant upgrade by part replacement. It is typically smaller than 1:12 scale. If there are enough entries, this class may be divided by car size/scale. 1:12 - 1:8 scale Electric 2WD and 4WD All Gas Powered 2WD and 4WD (depending on the availability of an appropriate site, Gas Powered cars may not be able to participate)
Format:	The format of this event will be designed to challenge those new to RC and also the experienced. A smaller portion of the adult course or a separate course will be used for the Kids classes. Change of class will be by request and must be approved by the event master. Overall fairness will be the main criteria.
Awards:	Will be presented at the conclusion of the event.
Timing:	Hand timing will be used.
Radios:	Will be impounded during the event to prevent interference. Participants should label their radios to assist in retrieving them.
