Racing is part of Porsche - and it should be in Pano. Count me in for another "yes". I've just started doing DE's, and I'd like to learn more about club racing before deciding to try it... I would definitely be helped by some club racing articles.

Absolutely! Pano needs some help - I usually spend all of 5-10 minutes looking at it before I throw it away. Club magazines from BMW and Audi linger much longer on the coffee table; the BMW magazine in particular covers racing (and many other topics) quite nicely.

I am not certain what survey you are referencing - could elaborate on when it was taken and the results?
It has always bothered me that the club should set up a series but not provide regular coverage. These do not need to be long detailed articles, I would settle for just the results and standings.

ABSOLUTELY! Club Racing is one of the most asked about activities in my Region....and as I recall, other regions that I have belonged to. Why? Because people are interested in learning about this important activity within the Porsche Club, and there is a general void of information. Bring it up in your home Region sometime and see how you are received.....let's get some coverage of the races, profiles of racers, and "how to get started" info in our publications!

Since club racing, my three kids, and day job do not consume all my free time, I also am on the executive council of pca as secretary. Much like any other volunteer position in pca, we're there to have fun and serve the members the best we can. It's quite an eye opening experience when you see how much is involved in keeping a national organization of this size running every day. What's even more amazing is how we have so many volunteers who put in some serious hours every month for the club. Heck, just look at the club racing side....God bless those stewards, scruts and T&S folks who give up their weekends so we can have fun on the track.
The best way to start making a change is to send a note, doesn't have to be long, to Betty Jo Turner and any member of the executive council. contact info is posted at
https://www.pca.org/members/club_officers.html
Betty Jo's email is porpan@mindspring.com (this is posted on our webpage).
We're there for you all. But we need to hear from you. It sounds like an cliche, but it's true. You can make a difference.
One final thought to consider. Our club is big. 54,000 members. There are less than 3,000 licensed club racers in this total. Unlike SCCA or NASA, we're much more than just club racing. There are many people who have no interest in pro or club racing. This is why I believe the articles have to be interesting enough to reach non-enthusiast and maybe turn them into enthusiast. You don't have to be licensed to enjoy the sport. I saw alot of spectators in Sebring who were there to enjoy the cars and the racing.

Hey, Panorama published my article on "Hey Wait For Me" Racing's sponsorship of The Racer's Group car at Le Mans in '04.
We're mostly Club Racers.
In my opinion club racing coverage doesn't get any better than that.
On the other hand, last weekend at Sebring, I believe my fastest lap was quicker than Manny's slowest. I would appreciate coverage of that.

I always wondered why Club Racing had it's own newsletter "ghetto," and was never mentioned in the main publication. It's a part of the Club - why not cover it?

I would definitely like to see more coverage of Club Racing. I think there should be a writeup, pictures and results of every race.
Right now I find Pano to be pretty much worthless. Every time I see a copy of Roundel, it makes me realize how good Pano could be but isn't.
