Balmoral Park was a new venue for the Chicago region last season and was given a huge thumbs up by all in attendance so we are once again embracing this gigantic parking lot which provided one of the best events we had all last season. Another stellar course will be set up that will be long, fast, challeging, and above all, fun! Come out and join us for another wonderful time.

This will be an Easy Rallye with-out a lot of traps. (How many times have we heard that!)  No, as a Novice you really should be able to finish it! Come out and find how much fun it can be!

Pre-registration is required for this event, as on-site registrations will not be accepted. This is a Porsche sportscar only event. Novice drivers, who have never been on a road course, are strongly encouraged to attend the Autocross Drivers School, as well as, Novice Drivers School at Blackhawk Farms Raceway.

Hi All, Happy Anniversary! On May 25, the Chicago Region turns 55 years old. We are the second oldest Region in the Porsche Club of America. We have 3 current members who joined in the 1950s and 47 current members who joined in the 1960s.

So to our founders, I have a favor to ask of you.  Remember the Picnic you founded in 1958...Potter's Picnic. It's still going strong in its 54th year...as the longest running event in the entire Porsche Club of America. So if you've missed the last few picnics, please attend this year. It's still the biggest concours of the year, still in July, still offers brats, German beer and ice cold beverages, and is still attended by the largest cross-section of club members and their families. Please come and see what you created.

The season begins Friday, May 4th with our Novice Day event. This event is dedicated to the novice driver. This is the event to attend if you are new to the club. We typically have 40 or more novice drivers at this event so in addition to learning how to handle your vehicle; it is also a great way to meet fellow club members. Again this year we will be incorporating one experienced group at this Novice Day event. This group will be open to all who have previous track experience but have not reached the Instructor level.
