Porscherama 2012 April

Porsche Club of America

After eating many expressed their utmost satisfaction and enjoyment with the event and how they looked forward to future runs.

Paradise Cove Run and Breakfast

The 18th of February, 2012 dawned sunny and promising. The Taft High School parking lot stood ready to accept the forty three Porsches with their pilots and passengers. After formalities and group orientation, the stage was set for our 2012 run to Paradise Cove and breakfast at Bob Morris’ Beach Cafe.

Keeping 43 cars together from Woodland Hills to Northern Malibu through the Santa Monica Mountains is a challenge no matter who’s directions or book of rules you’re trying to follow.

There were some missed turns and various offthe-route excursions ( that’s route, not road), but everyone who started finally and safely arrived at Paradise Cove and eased into the exclusive parking area in front of the small pier next to the restaurant. Everyone was hungry and anxious to sample the excellent fare of the Beach Cafe.

Zone 8 Rep Tom Brown

By Tom Brown Zone 8 Rep. In our ongoing effort to improve communication with the membership, PCA Zone 8 (consisting of the 13 regions in Southern California & Nevada as well as Arizona) now has a Facebook page, Google+ page, a YouTube channel and a Twitter account. With these tools we hope to keep you better informed about upcoming events throughout the Zone as well as report back to you on all the fun and excitement enjoyed by those that were there. Like our page, join our circle, follow our tweets! And if you have something to contribute, don’t be shy - post a comment! Or if you have video or pictures to share, please do. All you need to do is contact your Zone Rep. - that’s me, at

zonerep@zone8.org and I can get it posted. To sign up, please use the links on zone8.pca.org.

Email may be old fashioned, but it is still very important. Club news is sent out regularly by email from National, the Zone and your region.

National and the Zone (as well as many regions) rely on the email address in your PCA account on PCA.ORG. If you are not receiving you emails from the club, you should log into your account on pca.org, and make sure your email address is there and up to date. Even if your region uses a different system you should make sure it is correct on pca.org so that you don’t miss anything important from National or the Zone. If you have any trouble,the staff at the national office is eager to please. Drop them an email or give them a call. Keep current and you won’t miss out on the next car raffle or important news about Zone and Regional events.

These aren’t all that is happening, as our regions have full calendars of local events going on all the time. For more information, see zone8.pca.org for the Zone Calendar and for links to each region. Get out and about! There are a lot of fun activities happening all the time and you are welcome to join in almost any region event. Travel and see what your club neighbors are up to!

While we are talking about our Web calendars, I’d like to mention that the Zone web site will continue to grow and evolve. One goal of mine is to steal an idea from our friends in Zone 9.

The Zone 9 web site lists the favorite driving roads for each region in that zone. That seems like something we should do as well, as many of us find ourselves driving outside of our regions from time to time for one reason or another.

Might as well have a little fun while we are doing it! If you have a favorite Porsche road, please send it to me at zonerep@zone8.org Please include a description, such as the road name or number and the stretch that you find to be an absolute blast in your Porsche ( so that others may find it ). Also include your name and region and I’ll make sure it is posted on the ZONE8 website for all to share and enjoy.

As I am now the Zone 8 Representative, I need to hand off my previous Zone staff position of Rules Chair to a volunteer. Which means that I need to recruit that new volunteer, of course! If you think you might be interested in working on the Zone staff and volunteering to be our Rules Chair, I am now accepting applications. Please send me a note at zonerep@zone8.org, and I’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have and take you into consideration for the position.
