Recognizing and
Celebrating our Members
Every year we hold an Awards Banquet to recognize winners from the Zone Concours, Autocross, and Rally competition series.

Some would call these individuals “crazies”. In particular, we look for a strong supporter of the Zone activities, and through whose interest inspires other to participate as well. Enthusiasts are the lifeblood of our organization; without them we would not have the high quality events we often taken for granted. · 2003: Larry Adams (Golden Gate) · 2004: Kurt Fischer (Redwood) · 2005: Ted French · 2006: Louise Sousoures (Golden Gate) · 2007: Mark Gersh (Golden Gate) · 2008: Paul Czopek (Yosemite) Lifetime Achievement Award The Lifetime Achievement Award was instituted in 2000. It is not an award that will be given every year and is intended to be awarded to truly special people. The criteria considered when awarding the lifetime achievement award are a demonstrated lifetime commitment to the marquee and the club, long time service to PCA-Zone 7 and its regions, demonstrated achievement in PCA activities, and distinguishing oneself at PCA-National level through service and achievements. It is our way of recognizing PCA members who have been active at the region and Zone levels, and who have distinguished themselves on a National scale. Recipients of this most prestigious award are Brian Carleton, John Clever, Gene Gilpin, Dwight Mitchell, Bud & Mary Ann Behrens, and Terry Zaccone. Wall of Fame In January 2003, the Zone 7 Presidents approved a new award to recognize those members of PCA Zone 7 who have made a significant, lasting contribution to PCA and/or the Porsche community at large, through active participation in social, technical, or competitive events. This special award will be known as the “Zone 7 Wall of Fame”. This “wall of fame” is intended to honor those individuals showing a long-time passion towards the marque, displaying that passion and distinguishing themselves in some visible manner for a significant time. Although PCA and Zone 7 membership is a requirement of this award, the activities demonstrated by the recipients can be outside of PCA (i.e. racing in recognized competition series, etc.). This award is our way of recognizing PCA members that have distinguished themselves in the “outside world”. The recipients also should have demonstrated a recognition and appreciation for PCA and its fundamental philosophy “it's not just the cars, it's the people”. The Wall of Fame will consist of a perpetual plaque maintained by the Zone Representative as well as an appropriate personalized plaque bearing the Zone 7 logo for each awardee. Consideration for membership “on the Wall” will require nomination from a Zone 7 member in good standing. Nominations must be forwarded to the Zone 7 Representative no later than November 1 of each year, and should include the nominee's name as well as a brief history chronicling his or her involvement in Zone 7 or member regions, as well as his/her contributions to PCA and the Porsche community at large. The region presidents will consider all nominations. Awardees will be announced and presented by the nominating member at the annual awards banquet. · 2003 Inductees
