I pulled into the parking lot of a local business the other day and the owner (whom I know owns several Porsches) ran out and began recruiting me to join the new local chapter of the PCA. I went to a car show put on by the PCA chapter in Louisville, KY about 25 years ago and felt really out of place. It seemed as if you did not own a 911 or a 356, they were not interested in even speaking with you let alone giving your car any attention whatsoever. Have attitudes changed since then? Does the 914 get any respect at all from the PCA? This guy told me that they only had one member who has a 914 but no one has seen it yet and assures me that the other members appreciated any Porsche. I would really like to show off my car to someone who even knows what it is and am thinking about joining just for that reason. What are you thoughts? Is it worth it and what are the benifits?

I've been a member of the Potomac region for almost 20 years and we have about 2300 members. As a general rule the larger regions are east of the Mississippi. The larger the region the more activities. Smaller regions just don't have the resources, members or dollars, to put on a lot of events.
Paul's comment about the old pharts in PCA is marginally true. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) 20-30 years ago you needed to be at a comfortable financial level before you purchased a Porsche so the owners were a little older. The people that are buying their first Porsche today are considerably younger and they have a large "previously owned" market that wasn't available 20-30 years ago. POC started on the west coast because there wasn't club racing in PCA until 11 years ago so a lot of people out there don't belong to PCA. This year the Potomac region will host 11 de events, 9 2-day and 2 3-day, either Sat-Sun or Fri-Sat-Sun. All events will be sold out with waiting lists in green, blue, and white run groups. These events are Porsche only and you have to be a member of PCA to run. Give PCA a try but don't just sit on the sidelines, get involved, de, ax, concours, social, rally. |
