The San
Francisco Bay Area based PRC is helping Porsche racing enthusiasts
find a regular schedule of high quality racing events organized with
local racing clubs such as NASA, POC, SCCA, etc. and to ensure that
participants have a safe and enjoyable experience at each event. The
PRC is not a sanctioning organization. We are simply individual
Porsche racing enthusiasts acting in a collective manner to maximize
our fun. The goal for the Club is to attend about one event per month
run by well organized sanctioning organizations that set aside a group
for Porsches only. Competitions between the Porsches use a very simple
car classification system and class-based awards are presented after
every race.
Spec911 is intended to be an
entry level wheel-to-wheel racing class with an emphasis on fun,
competitiveness, and cost containment. Below is a glimpse at some of
the rules for Spec911:
