Our Valued Club Sponsor Of The Month
Saturday Drives usually take place on the 2nd Saturday of the month from April until October. Enjoy some of the best driving roads in the five-county area. Each drive is roughly 60 to 100 miles in length and finishes in under three hours (unless otherwise noted). You often have an option to join your group for lunch. These are a great way to kick off the weekend and a fun way for new members to get acquainted with ORPCA.
Registration for Saturday Drive events is required. Registration will close when drive is full or about 5 days prior to the event. The route and start location are not announced except to those who are signed up. You will get an email a day or 2 prior to the drive. It will have the start location and Printed Driving directions for you to print and bring to the start of the drive. You are responsible for any costs to park during the drive and for your lunch if we have a restaurant.
You will pick a group start time when you register. Bring your favorite Porsche (with plenty of fuel) and ideally, a navigator, to the start location. Each group has about 12 to 15 cars.
There will be a required participant meeting. At that meeting, the Tour Leader will explain the safety rules, explain the tour directions and point out items on the route that need special attention.
ORPCA has established a guide for Tour Etiquette. It is located at the bottom of this page. Please review this so you are familiar with the rules and process. We want everyone to have a good time and be safe. Knowing what is expected ahead of time will limit the potential for issues or conflicts.
Check individual Saturday Drives for all details and new requirements. If you have questions about Arrive and Drives please contact the 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.
