I have been a member since 1976. I would have joined in 1974 but I could not find the club in the era before the internet. I was at an SCCA event and a PCA member gave me an application. I even asked the local dealer and they looked like I asked them about membership in the bigfoot hunter club. It was a VW dealership back then that also sold Porsches.

I attend the nation conventions (Parade) and enjoy those a lot. We have a small region and I have been on the board or an officer of our region since the early 1980s.

PCA is a major part of my life, and I have met many dozen friends that are more than just PCA friends. PCA was just the force that brought us together. I have never sensed and derision that I had just a lowly 914 or or the old 85 911 I have now. Usually it is just the opposite, and people tell me they used to have a G body 911 and miss it, or that they always wanted one. One of our members just picked up his GT3RS Weissach edition yesterday, and he reminded me that someday soon he want to come drive my 911 because he has always wanted an air cooled 911.

The club is about the people, and the cars are just the catalyst that brings us together. Because of the club I have met Seahawk at his farm in MD, Pete at his house in VT, and many other Pelicans at many other states from So Cal Chicago and the Florida Keys.

So 45 years of membership and counting up!
