ORPCA PRESENTS
SPRING BREAK OUT 2010
March 12 - 14, 2010
This event is on it’s way to becoming the premier Track and Autocross event for the local area and we anticipate it filling up so register early to ensure you get in.
SBO is a multi day event. Where we will provide you the opportunity to exercise your car and your mind in pursuit of automotive control excellence at the track.
For the Track crowd we will host an HPDE at this event. Novice and up drivers can register for a full HPDE on Saturday. This will feature four run sessions of approximately 25 minutes each, divided into four run groups by driver skill, experience and car potential. This will be a fully instructed HPDE so put on your learning hat and come prepared to build your skills at speed. In addition we will be holding our annual instructors certification clinic on Saturday for both BMWACA and ORPCA in parallel with the HPDE.
For the Autocross folks there is an opportunity to get started on the points for this season. On Saturday morning we will be holding our famed Driver Skills Clinic. This teaches vehicle behavior as you pass the limits that physics has placed on our vehicles as well as recovery skills when you exceed these limits, under instruction from our friendly autocross instructors. Attendance will be limited to 16 drivers for the clinic so we can exercise you and your car properly. Saturday late morning and through he afternoon you will be able to participate at the limits of adhesion and practice the skills you learned in the DSC as we tear up the south paddock course for fast fun and Top Time Of the Day on the tarmac…register
On Sunday IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT DRIVING … IT’S ABOUT LIVING
Last year, over 6,000 teenagers died in motor vehicle crashes, the leading killer of American youths aged 16 to 19, accounting for more than 40% of fatalities in that age bracket. To reduce this number, Tire Rack Street Survival® (TRSS) has developed a non-profit, national driver education program aimed at teaching teens the skills they need to stay alive behind the wheel. We will be delivering this program for your young drivers in a safe, controlled environment with our friendly instruction staff. This will be our third installment of this program in the Portland area and every single young driver that has participated has learned valuable survival skills. This is the stuff they don’t teach our kids in commercial drivers education classes.

PLEASE NOTE DATE!
This March we will be trying something a bit different on two fronts- a new date and a new place! The task of finding a place that would take us (and that we could take) on St. Patrick ’s Day was nothing short of Herculean, so we’re moving back to the fourth Wednesday of the month – mark your calendar! April will see us back on track again… Also, through the efforts of Member-at-Large Susie Groover we will be heading to Buster’s Barbeque for some genuine, Texas-style barbeque in a relaxed, casual atmosphere. I can’t wait to try it!

SPRING CLEAN & DETAIL
Saturday April 10
Despite our wishes for good weather for kicking off the driving season, we often find ourselves fending off the rain instead
of trying to block out the sunshine. So we are foregoing the April A&D to bring the club another event - Spring Clean & Detail. Mark your calendar, take the cover off the Porsche, recharge the battery and bring your car down to Matrix Integrated where we have brought together many car detailers to freshen up your ride ! There will be experts on hand to take care of paint chips and scratches, a paintless dent removal pro for those annoying parking lot door dings, a windshield chip and glass reconditioning pro and a wheel repair
person for those nasty nicks and rashes.
Bring your Porsches to the pros and get some great tips and tweaks to make it even better than you imagined ! Special Porsche Club pricing !
Even consider getting your oil change done as well.
Matrix Integrated is centrally located at 4000 SW Macadam Ave Portland 97239 503.443.1141 and we will kick this event off @
9am and run it to 1pm, or when everyone seems content ! We are asking people to register at springcleandetail@gmail.com
Deadline April 7 Club contact Mike O'Connor 503.320.2447
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ARRIVE & DRIVE WILL START THE SEASON ON SATURDAY MAY 8 WITH A GARAGE TOUR
