Please click “Submit” on each form once you completed your data entry.
On this page, please enter your and your navigator’s name and contact details as well as the description of the car you will be driving on the September NW Passage. This information will appear on the Attendee Page of the Route Book.
While we have your name from the ticket purchase, occasionally in the rush to get the purchase done there are typos, or the navigator had been omitted or was not known yet.
The NW Passage is a great opportunity to socialize with fellow attendees and club members, and we want to make sure your contact data is as correct as possible.
Thank you for your help!
If this is your first time attending the tour, this short orientation meeting will give you an introduction to the nature of the NW Passage.
The drive has more miles per day than the half-day drives ORPCA is offering. There will be two groups. The first group with the more spirited drivers, the second group with the more leisurely drivers. Passing inside the groups is allowed as long as it is safe to do so. It is important to understand how the NW Passage is different from the standard half day ORPCA driving events.
We are supporting two Digital Navigation Apps for the 2024 NW Passage. Scenic (only IOS) and RidewithGPS (both IOS and Android). The driving routes are preloaded and you can use the digital navigation to augment your navigation with the written driving directions. We will have cheat sheets available for the use of both apps and will be helping with install and demo the use of the apps.
PLAY A ROUND ON THE “SWEET SIXTEEN” COURSE
A reporter once asked Arnold Palmer what his favorite course that he designed was. He pondered for a few moments and responded that he loved so many of his courses that he could not single one out. He started naming some of his favorites. When he finally stopped, he had named sixteen of his most cherished designs. Running Y Resort was one of them and has fondly been known as one of Mr. Palmer’s Sweet 16 ever since. Considering he designed over 300 courses on five continents, it is obvious that the Arnold Palmer Signature Course at Running Y Golf and Spa Resort is truly a special place.
Cost of golf is $85 per person for 18 holes and includes cart and range balls. Club rental would be $40 person.
Box lunches, tee prizes and awards are included.
Consider following it up (or preceding your round) with a 10% discount at the Spa!
You can book spa services online or call 541-850-5547.

Maintaining Momentum
Oregon Region is marching through the year at a steady pace. March turned out 11 events, which may be a record for this time of year. Even though it is still early, we have seen a couple of new events on our calendar including the new dining event, Road and Fork, and an out-of-town tech session in Tacoma. I was thrilled at the number of new faces attending the New Member Orientation. Be sure to check out stories about each of those later in this edition.
I realize now one of the key elements of having so many events on the calendar is maintaining momentum while not over- burdening our volunteers. The processes and procedures are ever- evolving, and while much of it is becoming routine, keeping all the balls in the air at once is challenging. The Drive Team and the Social Committee have been working overtime, and it shows. If you see any of the drive team or social committee members out and about, be sure give them a thumbs up and a smile – they deserve it!
This year ORPCA is celebrating 65 years and PCA is turning 70! The cars, the people, the clubs have a lot to celebrate. Back in 1955 and 1960, there were no 911s, no 914s, 944s, Boxsters, Caymans, Cayennes, Macans, Panameras or Taycans and very few variations on the models that did exist. There were a handful of regional clubs and not many members. Today there are 148 regions under the national umbrella with over 160,000 members participating in over 4,000 events every year.
In the area of Club history and how PCA and Porsche have evolved in 70 years, there are two great things every Porsche owner should check out if you haven’t already. One is the fantastic history of Porsche Club of America found on the PCA website: https://ww2.pca.org/pca- history (login to PCA.org, drop down the “Membership” tab to “PCA History” near the bottom.) This is a long read, but worth it. The other entertaining and education place to spend some time is PCA’s YouTube Channel: If you have not visited the PCA YouTube Channel, be forewarned, it is an addictive spot. https://www.youtube.com/@ PorscheClubofAmerica/featured
With nine more months of this exacting year ahead, I trust I will bump into many of you more than once and that alone makes it worthwhile. As you know, it’s not just the cars, it’s the people.
