PCA National Upcoming Events:
Porscheplatz at the Hyundai SportsCar Challenge at Laguna Seca April 30th to May 1st
If you are planning on attending the Hyundai Sports Car Challenge at Laguna Seca on the Monterey Peninsula, PCA is looking for volunteers who can help at the hospitality tent. This event was moved from its traditional September date to the April/May date this year due to scheduling issues. Porsche Cars North America hosts the hospitality tent or Porscheplatz which is open to all PCA members as well as anyone driving a Porsche to the event. For more information on how you can volunteer to help contact Collin Fat at cfat1952@gmail.com.

For those looking to participate in an upcoming Parade that is closer to home, Parade 2023 will return to the La Quinta Resort and Spa in Palm Springs. The dates are June 18-24, 2023.

This Parade being located in southern California will likely be very well attended.
Zone Autocross and Concours Series;
Golden Gate and Loma Prieta Regions held their first Zone Autocross events at Crows Landing just outside of Patterson, California in the Central Valley. Golden Gate hosted the event on Saturday while Loma Prieta Region hosted the event on Sunday. I was not able to attend the Saturday event but was able to attend the Sunday event where Loma Prieta Region autocross chair, David Dunwoodie and his team revised the course from Saturday and had 60 drivers competing for year end awards. Top time of day went to Drew Powers with a time of 56.662 followed by Monty Pack, Praneil Prasad, Todd Winstanley, Himanshu Patel and David Dunwoodie. Top time of day for the ladies in the competition went to Connie Lu who had a time of 59.169 and finished in the top ten overall. The weather was fabulous with clear skies and mild temperatures. If you have not been able to attend an event at Crow’s Landing, it should be on your bucket list.
