Multi-day tours are typically drives with an overnight stop. Usually these are done over a weekend. These tours are varied and provide lots of fun. Registration is required and tours usually sell out quickly. If you want to join one of these, watch for the weekly email for the Registration opening.
The Northwest Passage is a special multi-day tour, done once a year, that runs for three to five days. Traditionally held during the summer months, this event is a combination of spirited driving on some of the best back roads in the Northwest, wonderful food, excellent wines, and accommodations at great hotels. This event includes a route book, a commemorative prize, and great company. Participants get to enjoy their Porsche for what it was designed and built to do: Perform and handle well on challenging back country roads. This event opens in December and fills up in a week. It is usually announced at the Holiday Party – another good reason to attend that party!
Tours often require a fee per car. In addition to the attendance fee there will be additional cost for hotels and meals. Read the description of the tour for details.
Tours have a mandatory waiver form that must be signed prior to departure, followed by a required participant meeting. At that meeting, the tour leader will explain the safety rules, explain the tour directions and point out items that need special attention. Depending on the tour there may be driving groups with group leaders and sweeps.
Check individual tour details as these are announced. If you have general questions about tours, please contact Tour 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.
