While the “new normal” keeps evolving and changing, the Club is pretty much back into the swing of things. Our twice monthly Cars and Coffees are well attended and Club drives are at capacity. I had not been on either the Gimmick Rally or the Poker Run and they were a lot of fun. There were 12 first-time attendees at the Gimmick Rally and I emailed to thank them for participating. Since Zone 8 cancelled its concours series, our board decided to cancel our concours that was scheduled for October 10. We just did not know how many cars and judges we could get outside our region. The Montecito Motor Classic at the Polo Grounds also popped up on the same day.
We always need to recognize and patronize Rusnak Porsche Westlake and Porsche Santa Barbara, our two dealer sponsors, as well as the many advertisers whose financial support helps subsidize the cost of producing Der Auspuff.
The board will continue to monitor and evaluate health guidelines for indoor events if we wish to resume sit-down breakfasts and lunches after driving tours. In the meantime, happy motoring and safe travels to your desired destinations.

The Porsche Club of America was founded in 1955 to meet the particular needs and interests of the owners of Porsche cars. Our general objectives are to promote the highest standards of courtesy and safety on the roads; the enjoyment and sharing of other events as may be agreeable to the membership; the maintenance of the highest standards of operation and performance of the marque by sharing and exchanging technical and mechanical information; the establishment and maintenance of mutually beneficial relationships with the Porsche WORKS, Porsche dealers, and other service sources to the end that the marque shall prosper and continue to enjoy its unique leadership and position in sports car annals; the exchange 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 with other Sports Car Clubs as may be desirable.
The Santa Barbara Region of Zone 8, Porsche Club of America covers Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. We are a region of more than 700 members plus over 500 affiliate members. We were chartered in June, 1964 and celebrated our 50th anniversary on July 19, 2014 in Santa Barbara.
This region exemplifies national PCA’s motto: "It's not just the cars, it's the people." Lasting friendships are the rule, not the exception within our club.
We meet for Cars And Coffee on the first Saturday of every month at Johnny Rockets and Panera Bread in the Camarillo Premium Outlets from 8–9:30 a.m., and on the second Saturday each month at Leadbetter Beach near Shoreline Beach Cafe in Santa Barbara, from 8:00–9:30 a.m.
Our region offers competitive driving events such as autocrosses, driver education, and even a gimmick rally just for fun. We go on numerous exciting drives on back roads throughout Southern California and hold various social events including a chili cook-off, a progressive dinner and our holiday brunch. A highlight every year is SBR’s Concours d’Elegance where Porsches are judged in competition or just placed for display on beautiful grounds for all to enjoy. We also organize several extended weekend trips to places of interest such as Yosemite, Zion and Bryce National Parks. Most of all we offer friendly people driving great cars. We invite you to join us for some fun driving your Porsche with other car enthusiasts.
