I sent an email to the chapter prez asking what was up with the work I did for the re-introduction of the autocross at a venue we lost a couple of years ago....the AX chair said he was actively working on it....

I got a shitty response back that they were not considering it all, not a thank you very much no, but NO.....

I answered back that I was no longer a member.....freaking club is more interested in whine and cheese concour and computer assisted rallies.....

What a worthless POS club.

Some blow. Some no.

Mine's a pretty good mix of bashes and crashes. We do Las Vegas Motor Speedway every year and a dozen or so auto-x's. Even do a bunch of tours. It's hard to find a bunch of wine guzzling Porsche fanatics here on planet Utah. I think I'll stick around for a while. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

Every year when my membership is up for renewal, I have to stop and ask myself why I belong to PCA. Sometimes it takes days for me to think of a reason. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

well - that's the thing, you see. people tend to have the impression that 'THE" PCA everywhere is like where they are. not so. there's a tremendous amount of local Regional diversity.

Mikey's in a part of the world where a ) there are no racing facilities and b ) most of the membership is about being seen in (or with) the car, and much less about driving it.

my old region was drivers - did a rallye a few years ago, a sho-noshine every 3-4 or so. lots of tours, lots of excuses to go somewhere through the twisty Sierra for lunch or over to wine country.

my new Region is drivers - and we've got the big tracks on which to do it. we'll probably do a 'show' event this year, and maybe a rallye. lots of semi-organized tours to places.

i was in Zone 8 for a long time; it was okay when i didn't know any better, but that was a long time ago and i do, now...

it was 5F this morning - i don't see Mikey surviving very long in his flipflops tho ...

Join up... it's a fun group. Plus we need more teeners at the auto-x events. Next "social" is February 21st at Lamb's Restaurant. Downtown SLC. It's the opening social. Next is the "weather-be-damned" autocross the following month at SLC Community College.

You join you get to see my exciting magazine n/c (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (whoopee). I'm the newssletter editor for the region.

POC is pretty much a race only group. Some of the guys are very nice. A lot of the long time members seemed to have a :finger2: attitude to new guys. There is A LOT of $$$'s in some of the cars. I found that a few to many of them take their racing to seriously for me to enjoy their events.

It depends on what you want to do. The POC is all race oriented, no wax and shine parties. It suits me real well, I wasn't looking for social events. If you don't want to be at the track there's no reason to join the POC. If you want to be at the track, they'll give you plenty of opportunity. The old time members have come to realize the value of a starter series to keep new blood flowing in. So they are giving a lot more support to the Short Track Series. I haven't gotten any negative attitute from any member in the 2 years I've belonged.

If you guys want to do autocross, SCCA does autocross. They AutoX at Qualcomm stadium in San Diego. Here is the website for the California Solo 2: http://www.solo2.com/ .

POC sounds fun, but do they have classes for modified street cars? Or is it kind of unlimited with different chassis' (ie a 914 class where all 914s could race)?

Clubs are whatcha make em. I belonged to one chapter, resigned, joined another. Some squids in both, some really great people too. Too many members can't see beyond the brand and I find that I like clubs that are not marque specific....so sez he as he enters his reply on the 914club page.... hmmmm.

If you join the POC they give you a rule book. You start at stock and add points for what ever mods you've done. Depending on how the points add up you could be in the same class as other similar 914's and maybe have 911, 944's also in the same class.
