September 2025 President’s Message

It is hard to believe it is September already. This summer has blown by in a flurry of PCA events. Last month I was just returning from the Porsche Parade and now I’ve returned from Montrey Car Week.

I’ve been attending car week since it began and it is always a highlight of my summer. Werks Reunion was beautiful. A postcard perfect day in Monterey. We had a great turn-out from Redwood Region. Two of our members won their classes, Richard and Margo Maxey with their beautiful blue 912 and Ed Boracchia in his 964. Also showing their cars from Redwood wee Laura Parker, Peter Habicht, Angelo Carpinelli and Bruce Mooers.

I am a racing fan, so I always enjoy the vintage races. These are the cars I grew up watching that made me fall in love with Porsche. This year featured historic F1 cars but they also had some of the current F1 cars on display. I was shocked at the size of a contemporary F1 car. No wonder they can’t pass on a street circuit. There was also a vintage IROC race. Not as many of the original IROC Porsches as I would have expected but a great race between Nascar legends who actually still own the cars they made famous in IROC.

I am really looking forward to our events in September. The 70th Anniversary of PCA is upon us. Pat Burke and team have worked hard on our celebration, and I know it will be fantastic.

One of my favorite events last year was the Murphy’s Tour. I’ve been waiting all year to return. This year the featured marque at the Ironstone Concours is the Porsche 356. I am certain we will have plenty of photos in the next issue. Enjoy these last few weeks of summer.
