Keystrokes

Roger Fabel, Editor

Welcome to the November issue of the Kassette. As I begin my Keystrokes column, I have a question for you. “Are we providing you with the material you are looking for?” Remember, it’s not only our PCA club experience but also the feedback from our readers that helps develop the magazine’s content.

Thankfully, we receive feedback from our readers, which we review and make appropriate changes. We always try to improve each month, and your feedback is greatly appreciated. I would encourage more of you to share your ideas so that the content meets your expectations. I would like to thank you for taking part in the election process by voting for next term’s Officers and Directors. When I first joined PCA about 22 years ago, the zone rep, who also became a great friend, provided me with some great advice. “The club needs experienced leadership, but the club also needs a balance on new ideas.” That philosophy has proven to be spot on. I am very pleased to see the talent and hard work demonstrated by many of our volunteers that have stepped up to be part of the club. As we reach our 60th year, I know the founders from 1963 would be very pleased. After all, we are named GOLD Coast for a reason. Registration to sign up as a volunteer for the 48 Hours is now open. Please go to the website (https://www. goldcoastregion.org/) and sign up to be part of the largest club race in the world. As one of the national staff members told me, they consider this the Crown Jewel of club racing. If you plan to volunteer for more than one day and need a hotel room, make sure you book it early, as they fill up quickly. We had many great events in October that have been covered with articles and photos. Of special mention was the check presentation to the Ronald McDonald House in Miami. This was made possible with funds raised at the 48 Hours at Sebring. This month we also want to take a moment to thank our sponsors and advertisers for their continued support of the club.

Steve Kidd has been a part of PCA for 50 years this month, and we did a lowkey interview with him. At one time or another, Steve has held most offices in our region, including being zone rep for Zone 12. During his interview, Steve failed to mention that he and Dottie were selected as the PCA National Family of the Year in 2015! This includes being awarded the National Family of the Year and presented their award by the Porsche family. Congratulations Steve! Roger
