Member Of The Month

Kim and Rachel Nelson

"I first joined SVR-PCA in 1986 with a 914 but didn't have the time to participate in events so I let the membership lapse. Fast forward to 1999 and with a lifestyle change and the purchase of a 1965 356 C coupe and a 1998 993 C2S, I rejoined SVR and immediately got involved with social events, concours and autocrossing. I remember the 2000 Porsche Parade in Sacramento and my first CRAB like they happened yesterday - fabulous events and I met so many wonderful Porsche friends.

At a SVR dinner meeting in August of 2003 I met my future wife, Rachel, who had just purchased a 914 and was checking SVR out. Over the years Rachel and I have enjoyed participating in many SVR events as well as National events such as Porsche Parades, Treffen at Seas, Werks Reunions and Rennsports. Anyone who knows us know that we are also very passionate about the early 356 Porsches and are very active in the Northern California 356 California Alta Region club. Both Rachel and I agree, it's the cars that bring us together but it's the people that keep us coming back."

Porsche Parade 2026 – Lake Placid, June 14^th to 20^th

The West Coast Series is a PCA club racing points competition comprised of the all the PCA club races that occur on the West Coast of the USA. Historically, club racing in the PCA has been most popular in the East Coast and Midwest. This series was created in 2014 to encourage West Coast club members to take up club racing by providing them with the increased competition and sense of camaraderie that comes with having one’s own competitive series. All PCA club racers are eligible to participate and all entrants to any of the club races tagged as a West Coast event are automatically entered into the series.
