Jack:
Any club {PCA included} has it's good points and things that someone in the group would like to change. Any club is what you make of it, or more over what you put into it. I attended the first Porsche Parade in Santa Barbara with my dad in his coupe in 1965. I have over the years come and gone a couple of times, leaving for good and bad reasons. Yes, Panorama needs to be freshen; it's lost some of the original feel of years past. But, in any region the members who put in the time to run the local chapters, set up the meeting, put together the Road Trips and events, and arrive at 5am to set up the Autocross course are the reason for being a member. I remember first meeting Joe Schneider when I was pushing a bike around the SB Airport races watching my dad. It's been a long time since someone flashed me coming from the other direction, but I still remember that as a kid {the '55 could flash as I remember, just shut them off an on}. And I still remember my new '66 911 that sound from the bursch exhaust or the punch of my 1976 Turbo Carrara!!!!! Over the years I have own more Porsche's than half my age, which includes just about everything but a water cooled Porsche. But at the end of the day it's about the people you meet along that long road, and PCA is a big part of that!
