My chapter is a driving one, meaning we do more drives than social events.
Most of the members do their own work and are car guys/gals. I've met folks that I wouldn't have had I not owned the 911. I consider them friends now.
Another Pelican(Chemman) and our spouses hosted the Fall Color Tour this year. Sure, we were nervous, being our first event and all, but we had great responses from the members.
I have never NOT felt welcome at any event involving the PCAand or our group, the mighty Rally Sport Region.
