We also host a club race in August, and a club race as part of the Rolex Grand Am! (how cool is that-race your Porsche as part of the Grand-Am weekend)
There are cars and coffee type events, a few a month within driving distance of Philly, a very active Early 911S group nearby and driving tours for classic Porsches all summer, all up and down the east coast. The enthusiasm is there, just pick your fun (racing, concours, touring events) and jump in.
No one wants your old Pano's? I don't even want the NEW Pano's I get :-) Have you noticed this forum is approaching *2 million* posts?
Times are changing, but thank goodness people still enjoy filling a machine up with gas, taking it out and having some fun.

Todd has eloquently stated a perspective that I rarely state; the perspective of an enthusiast. So far this year, I have rallied in CA, in New England, I will go to the Rennsport Reunion and another Rally in VA. A group this summer is going to the Tail of the Dragon, BBQs are being planned. Every event I did last year is bigger this year.
Last Friday, I went to drop a starter off at a shop in Allentown an hour & half from where I live. My Friend Lee drove me in his 1960 Roadster and another friend Lewis drove two hours to meet us. All because of the passion.
