I joined PCA in 2006 to learn more about my new car at that time, a 85 Euro Carrera cab. At first, I didn't attend meetings and events as I figured these guys must be snobby old farts. When I did come out to a meeting, I found them to be genuine, warm and inviting.
I was formerly a BMW CCA chapter President for about 6 years and hosted the HPDEs in our state. BMW, Porsche, and Corvette owners loved the events until the only track on our island shut down. I too thought the BMW owners would be a bunch of snobs when I first joined the club and found them to be quite different from my perception. We were all a bunch of BMW enthusiasts from different backgrounds.
IMHO, any club is what you make of it. If you are a member, it is your club and if you don't like the type of events, do something about it. If you don't speak up, you will not be heard. I'm sure there are many others that share the same feelings and together, you can make it the club you want it to be.
