Welcome to 2025! It’s been a while since my last update, but GGR members have been anything but quiet. While the end of one year and the start of another might seem like a slower time for car enthusiasts, especially with the winter rainy season, that’s not the case for us!
Over 120 members joined us to close out the year at TRG (The Racer’s Group). For those who attended the Members Social Event, it was wonderful meeting you and hearing your stories of 2024. We hope you enjoyed the laughter, connections, and unforgettable moments. Unfortunately, Kevin Buckler was under the weather, and we didn’t have a chance to connect with him directly. However, thanks to TRG’s team, they shared stories with us, and everyone had an amazing time!
We also kicked off 2025 with the GGR Volunteer and Awards Lunch at Canepa’s. Congratulations to all the awardees for your outstanding achievements! The stunning cars at Canepa, combined with Bruce Canepa’s inspiring speech, made the event an unforgettable experience (—Photo by George Komoto)
