Happy New Year 2023! A new beginning with a new club board and adventure. As the new president, we will work to continue our growth…
Our board is here to serve the new and current members. We will be adding exciting drives to create comradery among members. We will also get our members more involved on leading drives. Plus, we are working hard to have a charity car show that we have missed, a couple of years now, due to Covid.
Central Chapter cars and coffee will be held in different locations to accommodate and meet other members from Corvallis and Albany. And, we will schedule a couple of Tech sessions to learn more about our cars and newer technologies.
Let’s make 2023, a good and an unforgettable year. As Porsche says, “There is No Substitute.“

NOTE NEW DATE! September 25… Join us for a Drive! to the unique Steamboat Inn on the bank of the hypnotic Umpqua River. Our route first takes us to jewel-like Dorena Lake, where we’ll make a short pit stop. Then we’ll hone our technical skills on a low speed, tight and twisty, autocross-like route through the Umpqua National Forest, arriving at the Steamboat Inn on Highway 138 for lunch. RSVP to centralchapter@cascade-pca.org.
NOTE: Assemble at E 40th Ave and Donald St in Eugene in front of Highlands Pub at 9:00 AM for a 9:30 AM departure.
Our spring Tech Session will be at Aaron’s Autowerks and will feature David Haydukiwecz who will discuss coatings (paint) and related subjects. David has been in the coatings business for many, many years and this seems to be a good opportunity to get all your questions answered on a topic we haven’t examined before.
Join us for our inaugural Drive! of the season to lovely Dallas (Oregon, not Texas!). This is a repeat running of our most popular drive of 2021. We meet at Lowe’s on West 11th in Eugene at 9 AM. After signing insurance waivers and a brief drivers’ briefing, we’ll roll at about 9:30, taking interesting two-lanes to Philomath, then Kings Valley Highway into Dallas. Lunch will be at the Washington Street Bar and Grill. RSVPs are essential so our host restaurant can plan for our group. RSVP to centralchapter@cascade-pca.org
Come and learn about the latest approaches to protecting the paint on your favorite investment… your Porsche!
Xpel, a leading supplier of Paint Protection Film (PPF) and ceramic coatings, has partnered with Porsche to provide solutions for its customers. Body Guard Paint Protection is a factory certified installer of Xpel materials. You’ll learn about preparation, available Xpel templates, custom installations and more. Bring your questions! RSVPs are essential so that we can arrange coffee and morning snacks for attendees.
We are planning a drive on May 21 from Eugene to Reedsport, for lunch at the Harbor Light Restaurant. To be honest, I haven’t finalized the entire route yet. But I wanted to get this notice out now so that you can make plans.
The UPDATED plan at this point is to gather at Lowe’s on W11th in Eugene at 9:00, with a 9:30 departure time. With a short rest stop on the way, that should get us into Reedsport a bit before 11:30 for a slightly early lunch. The Harbor Light Restaurant indicated that it will easier for them to accommodate a group if we don’t arrive right at 12:00. Depending on how many of us there are, there could be a delay in getting seated.
This will be a bit longer drive than many. Due to the length of the drive, you should expect to get back to Eugene no earlier than 3:30, maybe a bit later.
For our Central Coast members, feel free to meet us in Reedsport for lunch and a bit of a meet and greet!
RSVPs are required for lunch, as I need to give the eatery some advance warning. Click this link to RSVP, and note whether you will be driving from Eugene or just meeting in Reedsport for lunch.
See you then!
