In the Zone May 2023
Hello Zone 7,
Just returning from CRAB The Zone event hosted by Sacramento Valley Region. An army of volunteers had this multi event signature Begegnen (Gathering / Meeting) working like a Swiss Watch or more accurately humming like a Twin Cam 356 …and that is no small task. The history of the event is storied in legend. Ohhh and did I mention there was crab at CRAB? Well there was, and every face there was smiling … I can’t encourage you enough to put the next CRAB on you must do list.
Is your calendar now filling up?
I can’t encourage you enough to visit and bookmark the Zone 7 webpage. https://zone7.pca.org/
There is also a Zone & Facebook page along with a Zone Autocross and Concours page. SO much info of upcoming happenings , photos of past events and often real time activities updates. Come follow us.
Also look at the other Region Webpages and Social media pages for even more news / info / and event notifications.
How wonderful to have SO many different activities to do.
Look below for some of the big events!
Remember!
If you are already registered for Parade, Phase II you will register for banquets and events that https://www.porscheparade.org/ You can return to that site and add or edit your choices of activities.
Attending Parade ??? Be sure to be at the Zone Gathering on Sunday June 18th 6pm to 7pm, that is just before the Welcome party. I will have a special raffle for all Zone 7 attendees.
The IMSA races are coming to Laguna Seca May 12, 13, 14,
Porsche will have a PORSCHEPLATZ (Saturday and Sunday) Corral parking available. Porscheplatz and Corral are on Saturday and Sunday.
All PCA Members and Porsche owners are welcome to the Porscheplatz tent with the purchase of their general admission ticket to the race. PCA membership is not required for access, just Porsche membership.
Attendees will be required to show proof of PCA membership or Porsche ownership at the Reception Desk at the entrance to the tent. (PCA membership card, key, insurance paper etc.) They will be given a special wristband, which is their admission to the tent during all days that the Porscheplatz tent is open.
You will be able to enjoy the hospitality and events and to register to win hot laps / garage visits AND sign up for Parade laps.
Ticket sales AND CORRAL passes are purchased through Laguna Seca, NOT PCA! Be sure to select the ticket / ticket package you want. If you want to be in the corral, be sure to purchase the ticket labeled Sports – Admission & Corral.

I wanted to give a HUGE shout-out THANK YOU to all who responded to my call for volunteers. The sheer number of you raising your hands to help is truly amazing. I wish I could put you all to work but there will be more opportunities to help in the future. There is now a full volunteer team.
