To determine what changes move cars between V, S, P, I and M classes see the complete PCA classing rules. The complete PCA classing rules can be found in the 2019 PCA Parade Competition Rules: 2019 Parade Competition Rules 1st Edition. Autocross rules are on pages 16-30. The section on Event Size Classing is missing. We use a modified version of the Small Region classifications that were last published in the Parade Competition rules from 2017 on page 28. Please note: There was no Parade Competition Rules for 2020 and the 2021 one will not available until later this spring.
Porsche Classes
Oregon Region PCA Autocross runs under a modified version of the small region rules. Be sure to check the allowed modifications section in the Parade Competition Rules (see link above) if you have made ANY changes (including R tires or larger tire sizes) to your stock vehicle. The intent of the Showroom Stock class (S01, S02, S03, & S04) is to create a class for automobiles as normally delivered and specified for use in the United States and Canada. Factory options as normally delivered for a specific model year are permitted. However, anything beyond this, especially anything that could be reasonably perceived as being performance affecting would not be allowed in Showroom Stock. For example, Automobiles must run with their spare tire, jack, lug wrench, owner’s manual(s), tools, etc. Cars running out of class will not receive Championship Points. If you have questions contact your Autocross Chairman prior to the event at: Autocross Chair

Maintaining Momentum
Oregon Region is marching through the year at a steady pace. March turned out 11 events, which may be a record for this time of year. Even though it is still early, we have seen a couple of new events on our calendar including the new dining event, Road and Fork, and an out-of-town tech session in Tacoma. I was thrilled at the number of new faces attending the New Member Orientation. Be sure to check out stories about each of those later in this edition.
I realize now one of the key elements of having so many events on the calendar is maintaining momentum while not over- burdening our volunteers. The processes and procedures are ever- evolving, and while much of it is becoming routine, keeping all the balls in the air at once is challenging. The Drive Team and the Social Committee have been working overtime, and it shows. If you see any of the drive team or social committee members out and about, be sure give them a thumbs up and a smile – they deserve it!
This year ORPCA is celebrating 65 years and PCA is turning 70! The cars, the people, the clubs have a lot to celebrate. Back in 1955 and 1960, there were no 911s, no 914s, 944s, Boxsters, Caymans, Cayennes, Macans, Panameras or Taycans and very few variations on the models that did exist. There were a handful of regional clubs and not many members. Today there are 148 regions under the national umbrella with over 160,000 members participating in over 4,000 events every year.
In the area of Club history and how PCA and Porsche have evolved in 70 years, there are two great things every Porsche owner should check out if you haven’t already. One is the fantastic history of Porsche Club of America found on the PCA website: https://ww2.pca.org/pca- history (login to PCA.org, drop down the “Membership” tab to “PCA History” near the bottom.) This is a long read, but worth it. The other entertaining and education place to spend some time is PCA’s YouTube Channel: If you have not visited the PCA YouTube Channel, be forewarned, it is an addictive spot. https://www.youtube.com/@ PorscheClubofAmerica/featured
With nine more months of this exacting year ahead, I trust I will bump into many of you more than once and that alone makes it worthwhile. As you know, it’s not just the cars, it’s the people.
