The Porsche Parade TY is in Palm Springs in June. I'd at a minimum like to attend, and at best take my Chevy V8 powered 914.
I'm not yet a PCA member. I've been told that the PCA does not recognize Porsches with non Porsche engines...even in their "Modified" classes. True? Can I join the PCA with a Chevy powered Porsche? Can I bring it to the Parade in some sort of "display only" category? Maybe this? (in the December Panorama in the article on the Parade)... "The Historics Display is again part of this perfect setting. Its theme this year is California Dreamin', representing the free spirit and creativity of Porsche owners. The display will feature restored older model Porsches with modern equipment, outlandish paint, and other appointments, often called "outlaws." No factory-stock Porsches at this year's display!" |

I agree with you on the separate ladies class. It was explained to me years ago that it was separated as a way to encourage the women to participate in what was traditionally a male dominated event. Interesting that it doesn't apply to Club Racing. I raced against plenty of women. Of course, you didn't know who was who when they're in the race car.
FWIW, when you join PCA, they only ask for a VIN not an engine number. Parade is a different type of national event. They have a rule book just for Parade and it's four competitive events. |
