The Chicago Region of the Porsche Club of America was established in 1957 as the Chicago-Milwaukee region, making the 6th region in the country. The region was the host of the fourth Parade in 1959 at Nippersink Manor in southern Wisconsin. By 1960, the northern Illinois membership had grown so large that it could support it’s own region and a split at the border could be made. Beginning in 1960, the original Chicago-Milwaukee region became the Chicago region and a new region was created in Milwaukee. We are one of the largest regions with more than 3900 members and are part of PCA’s Zone 13.
For more on how the region started, click here.
The members of the Chicago Region of the Porsche Club of America are joined together and are mutually pledged to the furtherance and promotion of the following:
- The highest standards of courtesy and safety on the roads.
- The enjoyment and sharing of good will and fellowship engendered by owning a Porsche and engaging in such social and other events as may be agreeable to the membership.
- The maintenance of the highest standards of operations and performance of the marque by sharing and exchanging technical and mechanical information.
- The establishment and maintenance of mutually beneficial relationships with the Porsche dealers and service sources to the end that the marque shall prosper and continue to enjoy its unique leadership and position in sports car history.
- The interchange of ideas and suggestions with other Porsche Clubs throughout the world and in such cooperation as may be desirable.
- The establishment of such mutually cooperative relationships as may be desirable with other Sports Car Clubs.
- Mutual cooperation with Porsche Club of America, Inc. and with other regions of PCA.

Event Details
Friday 6-09 thru Sunday 6-11-2023*

We are on the road again to the elegant and historic French Lick Springs Hotel. Located in south central Indiana, It is a diamond in the rough! The resort also has its own gambling casino.
To book a room at French Lick Springs use this link: https://book.passkey.com/e/50334835
A block of 61 guest rooms have been reserved for the PCA at $209.00 plus tax per night. The room rate for anyone staying over Sunday night is $149.00 plus tax. It is anticipated that the rooms will sell out quickly, so it might be a good idea to reserve your rooms now!
To book a room at West Baden Springs call 1-888-936-9360 and provide Group Code: 0623PCA
I anticipate limited availability and the room rates are considerably higher in price. But remember, you only live once!
We will drive on Friday through the Illinois and Indiana back roads stopping for lunch at the Beef House Restaurant in Covington, IN. Then we are off to French Lick, IN. Friday night is a free night with no planned activities. There is plenty to see and do in the hotel and casino. Or take the free shuttle to The West Baden Spring Hotel and enjoy a meal or drinks in the atrium. You will not be sorry!

On Saturday morning we will drive the Ohio River Scenic Byway. These are some of the best Porsche roads you will ever drive! There are lots of elevation changes and hair-pin turns as well as whoop-de-doo’s in the rolling countryside. Some of you may have experienced theses roads during “Parade” and to blow my own horn, I wrote all the tours for the 2015 “Parade.” The roads are amazing and towards the end of the tour we are at or near river level which offers great views of the Ohio River! We will wind our way back to French Lick where we will stop for lunch at a great German restaurant, GERMAN CAFÉ which is across the street from our hotel. This place rocks!
On Saturday night, we will dine as a group in the Clifton Ballroom in the French Lick Springs Hotel. We will enjoy a wonderful buffet. They have a very nice bar as well! Want to check out the resort? Go to: www.FrenchLick.com
*If you want to stay another night, book a room for Sunday night. On Sunday morning I am tentatively planning a short driving tour to Joe Huber’s Family Farm, Restaurant, Winery and Distillery in Borden, IN. We can probably spend a few hours, do a little tasting and shopping and perhaps have lunch.
Upon our return to the hotel we could have a cocktail party on the front porch of the hotel, listen to some jazz and have a lazy, relaxed party….
So please make your reservations at your earliest convenience. These rooms will definitely go fast!
Please e-mail me as soon as you have a room at: j.diwik@comcast.net

Blackdog Speed Shop
Blackdog Speed Shop grew out of many years of racing cars where a high level of excellence is demanded from each team member. In 2006 that demand for excellence was extended beyond professional racing to include high-performance sports cars, late-model street cars, classic muscle cars, street/track cars, and customer race cars.
Our team of industry-leading automotive technicians, championship-winning race team, machine shop, and our enclosed soundproof AWD DynoJet dyno test cell are located in a spotless, stand-alone, state-of-the-art automotive facility.
We offer high-performance solutions including forced induction, suspension, alignments, performance exhaust systems, dyno pulls, and track-prep services.
In addition to our in-house performance car services, we also sell, consign, and can help locate a special performance car for you through our on-site Blackdog Performance Car dealership. Convenient vehicle pick-up and delivery are available via our enclosed trailer service. All vehicles are securely stored inside our climate-controlled shop.
So, whether you want to build a ’32 Ford, restomod or maintain your classic car, add more performance to your late model sports car, or go racing – contact Blackdog Speed Shop.

Autocross is an inexpensive opportunity to enthusiastically drive your Porsche or other make, in a controlled, and safe environment. Drivers navigate through pre-determined course outlined with road cones.
You will test and improve your driving skills while experiencing the impressive handling performance of your car.
Everyone is encouraged to attend, particularly if you plan to participate in any other driving events throughout the year. Join us for some fun while becoming a better driver!
Registration opens: 8:30 am EDT
Course Open to Walk 9:00 am EDT
Registration closes: 9:40 am EDT
Drivers meeting: 9:50 am EDT
First group starts: 10:20 am EDT
To improve our events, we have made the following changes:
- All participants must create a ClubRegistration.Net account, register and pay online. This includes onsite/day of, and registration the day before.
- Registration will promptly close at 9:00 am on the day of the event
- Events will be limited to 60 participants
- The success of our events is completely dependent on volunteers. Therefore, this year we are asking for participants to pre-register for several key volunteer positions.
- Please select one item from the “Event Options” section; see descriptions for details.
Please help us run a successful event by:
- Pay prior to the event to avoid an additional $15 day of registration fee
- Review the Tech Sheet and double check the “Registration Details” for accuracy. This form will be attached to your confirmation and is available at the PCA Chicago Region website
- Bring your completed Tech Inspection Form with you to the event. UTQG: This is the wear rating for your tires. This can be found on the sidewall of your tires. If you are new to autocross, the Tech Inspector can help you find where this is located.
- Make sure the positive battery terminal is completely covered with tape. This ensures that nothing can come in contact with the terminal. The PCA Chicago Autocross program reserves the right to deny participation to vehicles with excessive exhaust noise (95 db).
- Park your vehicle next to the vehicle that arrived just before you (e.g.. not in the middle of the parking lot). We would like to have all cars parked in the order of arrival. This significantly improves the flow of our Tech Inspection process and helps us start our event on time. If you want to park next to someone, please coordinate your arrival before entering the venue.
- Empty everything out of your car immediately after parking so that it can be Tech inspected. Anything that is loose must be removed from your car, including floor mats.
- Complete and place the Tech Inspection Form under your windshield wiper. This indicates that you are ready to have your car inspected.
- Wait for your car to be inspected. After obtaining the event sticker and signed Tech Inspection Form from the Tech Inspector. Apply sticker to the front top section of your windshield on the driver’s side.
- Proceed to the registration table with your signed Tech Inspection Form.
- Check in and look for your pre-printed name on the PCA Waiver, sign it.
- Apply your assigned car number to both sides of your vehicle. Numbers should be 8” or larger (if you do not have pre-printed numbers use blue painters tape)
- Relax, mix and mingle, walk the course or help setup the course until the drivers meeting at 9:20 am.
- And most importantly….Have Fun!
Participants are broken out into three groups: Drive, Rest, Work
Drive
- This group will start driving.
- After your driving session is over, you will rest.
Rest
- This group will start the day resting while the first group (Drive) runs the course.
- Use this time to eat lunch, but please be ready to work.
- As the Drive group is finishing please keep an eye on the staging line for the last car to complete the course.
- After the last car has run and the course is “cold” promptly replace the workers on the course. This enables us to quickly get the next driving group on the course.
Work
- This group will work the course when we start
- Please grab a safety vest before heading out to a workstation
- Aside from the Starter there are no pre-assigned work stations. Fill in any work station with less than two workers.
- After the session is over and you are done working it is your turn to drive.
We will cycle through the process of again in the afternoon. Drive, Rest, Work. We will cover this again in the drivers meeting and address any questions that you may have.
Thanks, in advance for your cooperation.

Event Details
For the first time in 20+ years, PCA Chicago is hosting a Driver’s Education event dedicated to and for ladies. Have you ever wanted to try your hand at driving on the track but maybe had some reservations? What were they?
- Too much testosterone at those male-dominated events
- Don’t own a Porsche
- Don’t have the need for speed
- Don’t want to or are intimidated to drive partner’s Porsche
- Don’t want partner’s judgement or advice about driving
Over the years, as we’ve encouraged women to come out and participate, these are the things we’ve heard. Well, now there is an opportunity just for you to get behind the wheel of your Porsche sports car, Porsche SUV, or non-Porsche sports car and experience what it is like to drive on the North racetrack in Joliet, IL. It’s a well-established fact that women tend to be better drivers on the track—just ask any PCA driving instructor! Not necessarily faster, though sometimes, but better because they listen to instructions and implement quickly.
This event also has an online classroom session on Tuesday, June 13th, starting at 7:00 PM where you will learn the basics of safely driving on a racetrack and what to expect during the event. If you have never driven on a race track, attending this session is highly recommended. Access information for attending the session will be emailed to new drivers in advance of the session.
This is an event just for ladies (18 or older with a valid driver’s license), run by ladies (and Dana).
Please consider joining us. You never know, you may love it as we all do!

We are invited back to the Westmont Crusin’ Nights & Street Fair. Sports Car Night, Thursday, July 6, 2023, from 5 to 9 PM. Live music, cool cars, festival environment – walk with your beverage throughout the event, food & beverage specials, kids activities, and 3 blocks of streets closed off and dedicated to classic car parking! This is a popular and long running Westmont community event.
PCA members who sign up will back-in park together starting in front of the popular NEAT Kitchen + Bar and on both sides of the street. The event is located on Cass Avenue in Downtown Westmont north of the BNSF railroad tracks to Naperville Road. Cass Avenue will be closed at 4:30. PCA members can then enter the event from Norfolk Avenue near Bank of America, 139 N. Cass Avenue. Volunteers in orange shirts will help direct you to the designated PCA parking area.
This is not a PCA – Chicago region event, but we need to let the Westmont organizers know how many PCA cars to expect, so please register on Club Registration so we can get a car count for them. Last year we had 43 signed up and a very good time was reported. Our friends in the Windy City BMW club are hoping to break that record this year. We can’t have that, can we? You know what to do. Registration closes July 4.

Come join us for our second-annual DE event on the North Track at Autobahn. This is the only event where we have both SUV and Sports car run groups.

There will be two novice run groups, one for sports car drivers and one for SUV drivers. There will also be two experienced run groups, one for sports car drivers and one for SUV drivers.
The SUV run groups are limited to Porsche SUVs only. No other marques will be allowed.
Classroom instruction will be provided for novice drivers and anyone else that wishes to attend. In-car instruction will be provided for all novice drivers.

The Chicago Region invites you to join us for our 28th annual Drivers Education weekend at GingerMan Raceway, which is located just outside the scenic Lake Michigan resort community of South Haven, Michigan.
This year’s event will be held on Saturday, August 12th and Sunday, August 13th.
We hope you can join us for one of the season’s premier DE events.
GingerMan Raceway is a challenging 2.21 mile road course with 11 turns, a number of elevation changes, and plenty of runoff areas. Not only is it fun to drive, but it was built with optimal driver safety in mind, which makes it a great choice for less experienced drivers. Expanded Passing Rules for Advanced Drivers!
This is an event to enjoy with your family and friends as the South Haven and nearby Saugatuck resort communities are filled with shopping, restaurants, beaches, family entertainment, and night life.
SUV Drivers! We are planning our Macan/Cayenne Lead/follow session that was so popular last year!
Sunday August 13th at 11AM sharp! $50! Cheap!
If you are planning to join us, we encourage you to make your lodging reservations as early as possible since many area hotels and resorts sell out months in advance!
Event registration is open to all PCA members, as well as non-members with track driving experience and an appropriate sports or performance car that meets the Chicago Region’s 2023 DE safety requirements.
Novice drivers are welcome to attend and will be assigned to work with an experienced PCA instructor for the weekend. It is important to note that instructor availability for this event is always very limited, therefore novices will be accepted on a first come – first served basis with PCA members given priority over non-PCA members.
We will once again be holding a non-mandatory orientation session on Friday evening in the track’s pavilion. Although this one hour session is designed for novice and first-time GingerMan drivers, anyone is welcome to attend. It will be hosted by PCA Chicago Region instructors who will review the track layout in detail and present a chalk talk to address the proper driving line, braking points, and other important information related to the weekend’s event. If you are planning to drive GingerMan for the first time, or if you are an intermediate driver looking to increase your knowledge of this challenging track, we encourage you to attend.
