Hello Zone 7!
I hope this message finds you well, enjoying some great weather, and—most importantly—getting some time behind the wheel.
By now, the season is fully underway. Calendars are filling, engines are warming, and across all 10 Regions we’re seeing exactly what makes PCA so special—people showing up, getting involved, and making the most of every opportunity to drive, connect, and participate.
Whether you’ve already been to your first event of the year or you’re still planning your kickoff, there has never been a better time to jump in.
Zone 7 Series in Full Swing
The Zone 7 Autocross Series is now underway, and cones are already being chased across the Zone. Whether you’re a seasoned driver or considering your first run, autocross remains one of the most accessible and rewarding ways to experience your car.
The Zone 7 Concours Series is also ramping up, with beautiful cars, passionate owners, and growing participation at each event. From preservation to preparation, the level of detail and pride continues to impress.
If you haven’t yet participated in a Zone 7 Series event, I strongly encourage you to give it a try this season. Visit another Region, meet new people, and expand your PCA experience.

🚢 PCA Treffen @ Sea – Pacific Wine Country Cruise
Don’t forget about the PCA Treffen @ Sea Pacific Wine Country Cruise, sailing September 19–25 aboard the Grand Princess.
This unique experience blends travel, relaxation, and PCA camaraderie, with Regions already planning group shore activities and shared experiences along the way.
If you’re considering it, now is a great time to secure your spot.
