IT'S NOT JUST THE CARS, IT'S THE PEOPLE

As we continue celebrating the success of the 29th Richmond Porsche Meet, I want to take a moment to personally recognize the planning committee members who helped bring RPM 2026 to life. An event of this size does not happen by accident. It takes months of coordination, communication, problem-solving, and teamwork. From registration, parking, autocross, the Fun Run, the Corral, the Friday Owners Social, the Torque Room, sponsorship, charity support, photography, volunteers, and every detail in between — this team made it happen. Please join me in recognizing the RPM 2026 Planning Committee:

Jonathan Perelman — Shenandoah Region President

Rich Cao — First Settlers Region President

Manuel Calo — Western Area First Settlers Vice President

Cecile Graziano — Shenandoah Region; Owners Social, Sponsorship, and Torque Room Coordinator

Rick Ebinger — Shenandoah Region autocross Coordinator

Richard Tabor — Shenandoah Region; Traffic Control and Corral Coordinator

Dan Graff — Shenandoah Region Corral and Fun Run Coordinator

Steve Marcom — First Settlers Region Fun Run Coordinator

Jason Robson — Shenandoah Region Guest Speaker Coordinator

Derek Arnold — Shenandoah Region Photographer and Video Coordinator

Mike Ball — First Settlers Region Photographer

James Border — First Settlers Region Volunteer Coordinator

Jenny Kay — First Settlers Region Charity Coordinator

Steve Upman — Shenandoah Region PCA Juniors Coordinator

I also want to recognize and thank every volunteer from Shenandoah Region PCA and First Settlers Region PCA who signed up, showed up, and helped during RPM. Whether you supported parking, registration, traffic flow, hospitality, Track Heroes, autocross, the Fun Run, photography, setup, cleanup, or behind-the-scenes execution — your time and effort mattered.

Thank you to this committee, our volunteers, our sponsors, and everyone who supported the event. RPM 2026 was sold out, well organized, and a complete success because of the people behind it. This is what PCA is all about.

It’s not just the cars, it’s the people.
