The SGVR PCA is a friendly and relaxing group of Porsche enthusiast who just love to have a great time whether its chill’n at a Cars and Coffee or a weekend Fun Run getaway. Porsches bring us together and we never run out of wonderful Porsche things to talk about.

Club Drives are social events that get us driving our cars to unique venues to explore, have lunch and hangout. From short runs to longer overnight and weekend events. Some of our previous runs have been to Paradise Cove, Channel Islands, Big Bear, Vasquez Rocks and Idyllwild. Be sure to check out the Events Calendar so you can plan to take a Club Drive with us too.

When you arrive at the Club Drive the member leading the event will request all those in attendance sign an insurance waiver prior to the start of the event. Do not bring a signed waiver with you.

PCA regions host Concours events throughout the year. A concours (short for Concours d’Elegance) is a judged car show that celebrates Porsches for their beauty, condition, and attention to detail. Some divisions are highly competitive, while others are more relaxed “detail-and-shine”. For SGVR and PCA, concours events are not only a social occasion but also a way to honor the care and passion members put into their Porsches. If you’ve never participated, we encourage you to join the next one—it’s a lot of fun!

A PCA Concours Judging School is a training program run by the Porsche Club of America (PCA) to teach members how to judge cars at a Concours d’Elegance.

Here’s what it typically involves:

• Learning the Rules: Judges are trained on PCA’s official judging guidelines, including how to evaluate originality, condition, and presentation.
• Hands-On Practice: Participants often inspect real cars, learning how to spot subtle details and differences.
• Scoring System: They are taught how to assign points fairly, whether a car meets, exceeds, or falls short of factory specifications.
• Safety & Etiquette: How to handle owners’ cars with care and conduct yourself professionally during the event.

The goal is to ensure consistent, fair, and knowledgeable judging at all PCA concours events. Even if you don’t plan to be a judge, attending can give you insight into what judges look for—and tips for presenting your own Porsche!
