WELCOME

The Shenandoah Region of the Porsche Club of America (PCA) is a non-profit organization in central Virginia dedicated to the enjoyment of Porsche cars. We organize scenic driving tours, run four autocrosses each year, and take part in high-performance driver's education events at the Virginia International Raceway. Our premier summer event is the Richmond Porsche Meet (RPM), a weekend including a concours, lunch, driving tour, tech session, banquet, and an autocross at the Southside Speedway. We also hold a Christmas party and several social/business meetings annually.

Non-members are welcome to participate in a social meeting, a driving tour, or an autocross at the Augusta Government Center. Visit JOIN PCA to learn how you can become a member.

To learn more about our club and its activities, investigate our web site, look at the on-line issues of our monthly newsletter, or contact any club officer. We are part of the larger PCA Zone 2 and the PCA national organizations.
