PCA membership needed?
I found a PCA auto X location near me. I only plan to go once this year. Do I need to be a PCA member to play? Do they just charge a higher rate like SCCA?

My local region (pretty small) charges $5 more for non-members, and we still call it a good day when we have 40 drivers.

+1 on the per-region. My local region charged something small on top two years ago, but last year it was "members only". I'm not sure why, as they only had about 15 entrants anyways, and there's no way I'm paying $70 or whatever it is for a membership just so I can compete in one event.

1 year of PCA membership is $42 -
this pays for your National and regional dues.. plus you get Panorama magazine (an excellent Porsche read), your local chapter rag and websites too. For $42, it ain't a bad deal and no worse than other single marque clubs or SCCA for that matter.
Many regions will charge a few bucks more to non members. Some regions check for your membership, others dont.. so if you showed up in a Porsche and "improvised" when asked about being a member, they would likely only charge the member rate.

Same here with NCR and NER. Be a member and you can show up with any car you want, non member and show up with a Porsche and you will get in even if you show up the day of the event.
