Mainly PCA.
I have some friends that were very active here in the Northeast...yet they told me they recieved a not so warm welcome at the event in SF and are looking elsewhere.

Is there a club near Santa Clara???

If so, would someone care to reach out to these guys...they are really nice...they ran the autocross here for many years and just need a nice group of people to join so they are not so homesick for our club.

They are also perpetual volunteers...alas Boxter owners.

Thanx in advance.

i'll say that most of the PCA events around here are pretty welcoming, feature quite impressive competition...

i agree on both counts. but that means if you "just show up" when guys are trying to set their cars up to compete for points, they may be a bit too focused to be really gregarious and welcoming.

(i've found that few West Coast guys realise that only Zone 7 & 8 have Zone-wide yearly competition series...)
