Mark Your Calendar for Treffen Bend in September
The 2022 driving season has begun! Since the last issue, we have driven our Porsches over 5,000 miles. Our first trip was to Treffen Colorado Springs. It did not disappoint. The tours we signed up for were great. In fact, our tour leader for Pikes Peak was on his class’s podium for five of his six Pikes Peak Hill Climbs. His insight was fascinating, and the personal stories were great. Next up was Vancouver Island Region’s Black Rock Charity event. VIR’s event is a multi-region, we met folks from Zones 6 and 14. The Black Rock event had something for everyone; tours, DE, and Autocross. One of the advantages of being a Zone Rep is, I get to go to wonderful locations like Black Rock, see great cars and meet wonderful people.
On June 29th, registration for Treffen Bend opens. This event is to be held at the Sun River Resort, September 14-18th. Treffen Bend information is now available at Treffen North America (pca.org). Treffen Bend is the first Zone 6 based Treffen. Let’s help make it a sellout. Make your plans, log on early, and I hope to see you in Bend, OR.
PCA has a wealth of materials for you to plan and successfully hold a tour, DE, or Autocross. These can be found at the PCA website, www.pca.org. After signing on, you will be presented with a list of Commonly Used Links. Select the ‘FORMS & DOCS’ link and you will be taken to a long list of available resources. Please review the PCA minimum standards for the event type you are planning to hold and develop your event so that it conforms. After the event is held, please make sure the After Event (due within five days), and Observer Reports (due within 10 days) are completed. These reports are required for all PCA-insured activities. By adhering to the minimum standards and filing post event reports, we are helping to keep PCA insurance rates low.
Nancy and I are off on an epic road trip to the east coast and the Poconos for the 2022 Porsche Parade. The next issue of In the Zone will be written from the road.
Stay healthy and we will see you in the Zone.
