I plan to join soon. I went to one of the last autocrosses of the year last fall in Stockton and it was a hoot. Parked next to this gray haired fellow who was putting on kneepads and protective gear to change out the tires on his old red 911 targa. I commented, "Man, you are serious about this stuff, would you like a hand?" He laughed and said no, he had it covered. We talked about cars and various things until it was time to run. Dude could really pedal that 911 around a course.

Turns out he was Terry Zaccone(I was telling someone he was Tony Zuccini, or something like that, and they told me that red targa is famous, has a name, and he was a long time fixture in the Porsche community. Rob also found it hilarious that I said he looked really serious about this stuff.)

I plan to join the PCA this year, just because. I am told you get a discount on stuff at the Porsche dealer, which would be nice. Of course I will never do any business with Niello Porsche because I have had prior dealings with businesses owned by Roger Niello and none have been positive, so that may not help me out that much.

Not to hijack or anything, but does the local dealership get brownie points from Porsche for members of the PCA in their region? If they do, I will be forced to join in GGR instead of Sac Valley Region.
