Our Valued Club Sponsor Of The Month
Drive and Tours include Saturday Drives, Midweek Drives, Multi-day Tours, and SUV Group Tours. New tour types are in development as well. For information on these events and the specific events planned for each type, please click on the event on the left in the tours calendar.
There are also Drives and Tours organized by PCA including Treffens and Porsche Parade, the yearly PCA convention.
A Drive / Tour drive group is typically 12-15 cars and participants usually have a navigator with them, thus allowing the driver to drive! For high demand events we have multiple groups. Fow some drives we also support a digital navigation app.
Since Drive and Tours take place on public roads, the prevailing traffic laws must be obeyed. That still leaves plenty of room for fun driving on the spectacular twisty roads you’ll find on nearly every Tour. And even at normal speeds, it’s quite a rush to be in the middle of a pack of gleaming Porsches snaking their way through forests, along waterways and over scenic mountain passes.
The social aspect of Drives and Tours is seen in the various activities that accompany the driving. The casual atmosphere lends itself to relaxed conversations with your fellow club members, often in a setting involving food. A Tour isn’t considered complete unless it involves at least one and sometimes several opportunities for snacking, breakfasting, brunching, lunching, picnicking, or fine dining with wine tasting.
Our great state offers an incredible variety of driving and sightseeing experiences. Our local Tours cover the beaches of the west, the forests of the Coastal Range, the farmlands of the Willamette Valley, the towering Cascades, and the wine country and high plains of eastern Oregon. Our multi-day tours can extend to our neighboring states Washington, Idaho and California.
Drive and Tour planners put together spectacular routes covering sweeping highways, scenic byways, and the curviest secondary and forest service roads you can imagine. No matter how many miles you’ve logged in this state you’re sure to be amazed and thrilled by our tour routes.

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.
