WELCOME GREAT COLUMBIA REGION!
February brings exciting changes to Zone 6 – we have a new region. Great Columbia Region (GRCR) has been granted its charter by National. GRCR was created via the splitting of the Inland Northwest Region (INWR) into its natural geographic components. The Spokane centric areas will remain as INWR. The Tri-Cities portion of INWR is the new GRCR. Michael Hinton will be the president of GRCR and will be joining the Zone 6 Region Presidents at our March meeting.
Many are planning driving tours for the coming summer. First, my thanks to all those that stepped up to be Region Tour chairs. I appreciate your time and dedication. Driving tours are among the most popular of all PCA events. If one is so inclined to want to lead a tour, PCA has a wealth of information on how to lead effective tours. Reach out to me if you are interested.
PCA National has several events of note; Porsche Parade 2025 is scheduled for July 6-12 in Oklahoma City and Porsche Parade 2026 is scheduled for June 14-20 in Lake Placid, NY. Parade 2025 Registration will open on February 26th at noon EST. As usual, Parade registration will be a two-part endeavor. First one registers as an entrant and reserves their hotel room. In the second phase events and meals are signed up for. 2025 Treffen at Sea sets sail Sunday, August 30th from New York, NY, returning on Sunday, September 6th. PCA will celebrate its 70th anniversary on September 13th. Each of the 149 PCA regions will be doing something to celebrate this big milestone. Treffen at Sea registration is now open! Fall 2025 Treffen will be held at the Four Seasons Resort in Jackson Hole, WY. Check it out at: Treffen Jackson Hole (Fall 2025) | Treffen North America
If you have an idea for an event we should come to, please reach out to me. Zone 6 signature region events can be found at PCA Zone 6 – The Pacific NW Regions. Zone 6 abounds in great roads to drive and great automotive venues.
