CVR is way too painful, even with a Porsche. Stick with Metro, NNJR, Schattenbaum, Niagara, Hudson Champlain.

Now now Anthony, we all have our favorites here. I prefer driving with CVR so we don't want to go casting aspersions on certain regions. Every region has its own personality and people are free to choose the one that fits best for them.

Nah, nobody's ever been behind a 996 GT3 that dropped coolant. 944's never drop anything (or everything) either.

The 3 Ohio PCA groups don't require you to be a member to participate.

Every member is allowed to name one Co-Member.
who is allowed to participate in DE events.
In my experience, restriction to PCA members is unusual. Our region, RTR, allows any car and has plenty of variety at most events. All events are open to non-PCA members.

As mentioned above, it's entirely dependent on the participation in the region. Some regions don't even have DE programs as their either isn't enough interest or isn't a viable track in the region.

UCR is restricted to members driving Porsches because there's so much interest that every group gets wait listed so it would be unfair to allow others in.

And they are all great groups, as is Allegheny.....and I like others have my favorite groups, along with those that I prefer not to drive with.

I think the main point has been made over and over and over, BUT, of course, that won't stop me from making it again . . . the differences between PCA clubs are HUGE. Not better or worse but like choosing your favorite sports team. I may like the Mets and my neighbor may look at me as if I have 2 heads 'cuz he's a Yankee's fan, but the truth is we both like baseball. Answer: just ask and you'll probably be ok in most cases.
