POC History
In early 1955 a group of 50 Porsche enthusiasts gathered and formed the framework of the POC. We are the oldest Porsche Club in North America, and for more than 65 years, our membership has celebrated the Porsche experience with its Velocity magazine, nationally recognized driver education programs, racing instruction, and renowned racing series.
The Porsche Owners Club is a non-profit volunteer organization and it takes many dedicated volunteers to keep the wheels turning. We invite you to participate in the Club and volunteer your time, as it ends up enriching your overall driving experience with us.
Mission Statement
The Porsche Owners Club is dedicated to running racing and high-performance driver-education events, with safety as the utmost priority. We are committed to training and ultimately producing top-tier drivers that can compete at both the Club and Professional levels.
