Continuity and Change!
Happy New Year!
Change is inevitable. While I am continuing as the Zone 6 Rep, we have several new region presidents. My thanks to those who passed the ‘baton’, you left some big shoes to fill. Also, my thanks to those that stepped up to take the reins of leadership. Without our volunteers PCA / Zone 6 would not be enjoying the successes of the past, current and future. Speaking of change, we sold our 911 in December and hope to take delivery of my next ‘last’ Porsche, a 718 Spyder RS, this coming summer.
Zone 6 membership continues to grow. Two Zone 6 regions were called out as being in the top 10 nationally for growth. Pacific Northwest Region was in the top 10 for growth. BC Interior Region was in the top 10 for factored growth. My thanks to these regions and their membership chairs for their hard work in growing PCA and Zone 6.

Zone 6 2024 events are already popping up on the calendar. Nancy and I will be attending Vancouver Island Region’s Wochenende on the last weekend in May. Zone 6 signature events can be found at www.zone6.pca.org. Zone 6 abounds in great roads to drive and great automotive venues.
Parting shot. GT3 RS
Stay healthy and we will see you in the Zone in 2024!
