ZR Notes May 22
There are a lot happening in PCA and the Porsche world. If you are getting this newsletter, you have already taken the first big step to stay in touch, which is to keep your PCA membership valid. I was talking with a fellow Porsche owner at a gas station the other day (don’t we all do that?) and he mentioned that he wanted to get his car out more but had stopped receiving notifications of events. He acknowledged that his membership had probably lapsed and he needed to renew. I know that has happened to me over the years as I wondered why I hadn’t received a Panorama recently. When PCA added auto-renewal as an option, that helped me keep current!
So why is that important? There are so many great events coming up that I want to keep up to date on:
Sportscar Together Festival at Indianapolis Motor Speedway 2-4 Sept
Like last years event, the SCTF will focus on Porsche culture and Porsche racing, and coincidentally 2022 also marks 50 years of Porsche’s RS models. RS stands for “Rennsport,” which means racing in German, and those two letters when applied to a Porsche means that it’s one of the automaker’s highest-performing road cars. Starting with the 1973 911 Carrera RS (which came out in 1972), Porsche continues to build RS models, the latest being the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. If the plan to have the largest gathering of RS models in the world comes to fruition, you can bet it'll be a sight to behold.
Treffen in Bend, Oregon Sept 14-18 Registration opens June 29
Werks Reunion Monterey 19 Aug Registration opens 25 May
Parade in Palm Springs – Next June- Details to follow
Rennsport Reunion VII Sept 28- 1 Oct 2023
Rennsport Reunion is probably the biggest non- PCA Porsche event in the world, if not the biggest. Sponsored by Porsche and facilitated by PCA, this is a one of the coolest events around. Since it hasn’t been held since 2018, this one in 2023 is going to be hugely popular. I was fortunate enough to go in 2018 and my favorite part was watching this long line of 917 race cars headed out pit row to the track to race. I highly recommend going if you have never been. But I would book a hotel room sooner than later as I bet they will get hard to find. Ticket and other info will be available down the road.
I hope you are having a great Spring and getting out and enjoying your Porsches. There are many of you going to Parade this Summer in the Pocono’s and I hope you have a great time!
See you down the road.
