Peter Ridgway
President
Porsche Ownership History: My first was a 1990 Carrera Cabriolet. Had the motor rebuilt to add extra torque, put lightweight Fiske wheels on it for much improved handling and “drove it like I stole it”. A friend told me that was the only way to drive a Porsche. I still concur although I traded the Cab for a new Macan Turbo. Still drives the same way. Just more comfortably.
LPR PCA History: Joined PCA in 2009 after I retired. Became LPR Secretary in 2011 and held Concours and Tech chairs since then. I was elected LPR President in 2017 but continue to hold the tech chair because it’s fun for me to hang out with our advertisers.
Favorite Weekend Drive: Tied between hwy 160 from Antioch to Freeport and almost any other LPR tour.
Conversation Starter: Talk about travel. I’d like to say I’ve been everywhere but I haven’t. Still working on it however.

Activities
Porsche Ownership History: I’ve wanted a 911 since 1970 when I saw my first one up close, but I really fell in love with Porsche when I saw Steve McQueen’s movie “Le Mans” in 1971. I finally bought a Silver 1979 911SC Targa in 1999, a Red Wine Metallic 1982 911SC Targa in 2004, and my current one is a Cobalt Blue Metallic 1999 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Her name is Sally.LPR PCA.
LPR PCA History: I joined the Porsche Club in 1999, with my wife, Karen as affiliate. We attended our first LPR event in September that year, and felt so welcome we had to come back. I’ve been on the Board of Directors, in various roles, from 2001 through 2009, and this year as the Activities director.
Favorite Weekend Drive: Laguna Seca! I remember watching Mark Donohue win a Can-Am race at Laguna Seca in the Sunoco 917. When I joined PCA, I was hoping to get to drive a parade lap just to see what the corkscrew was like. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven when I drove there in my first Driver’s Education event.
Conversation Starter: How do you like how your Carrera handles?
