If you plan to participate in our Chicago Region Autocrosses or in our Driver’s Education events at Blackhawk Farms Raceway, Road America, Autobahn and GingerMan, you should attend this first driving event of the year. Chaired once again by Ed Leed and Christy and Ed Russ, our Autocross Driver School is a fun, must attend event for new members and anyone who just bought his or her first Porsche! This driver education event is an excellent opportunity for all 16 to 18 year olds in PCA’s Junior Participant Program to gain some safe hands on experience behind the wheel of their parent’s Porsche as well. For Junior Participant Program info and waiver forms, log on to www.pca.org/members and click on library.

The PCA Chicago 2010 Event Schedule is here.

The first event of 2010, The General Membership Meeting, was a huge success! In the past, we have had approximately 150 people in attendance at this event. But this year it was literally standing room only with 228 people filling our room to capacity.

When I asked how many new members were in the audience I saw at least 10 – 15 hands go up. So it looks like many of our new members came to this event to hear all about the events we have planned for this year. And by the looks of all the socializing that was occurring, many of the newer members were getting a lot of their questions answered by our coordinators and event chairs. If for some reason, you didn’t get a chance to get your questions answered or if you wanted to talk to someone about an event and you didn’t, just email or call the respective coordinator and ask the question.  Their names and contact information is in the front of this months Scene. If you, for some reason, still don’t get the information you are looking for, please call or email me and I’ll make sure you get the information. We are trying to make your Club easy to participate in, so just ask questions.
