Pheasant Run, St. Charles IL this summer? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Hi Paul,

Forgive me but I'm not sure what you mean by "participate" in the autocross. If you mean can you drive your car in the Parade autocross event without being registered for the Parade, the answer is no. However, if you are asking if you can be a volunteer worker at the autocross without registering for Parade, I believe the answer is yes.

Did that answer you question? If so, which case were asking about?

I hope to see you in St. Charles!

Cheers,
Henry

I believe the confusion occurred since "the show" and "the Parade" were not understood clearly.

The show is usually considered to be the Concours for which there is a fee to show your car and you must be registered for the Parade.

So you can run the autocross if you are registered for the Parade, but you do not have to do or pay for the "show".

Ok, thanks for clearing that up Paul. Henry sent me another email and there was some confusion that he clarified. As you said there is a concours event going on at the "parade" as well that caused some confusion. Anybody who wants to participate in the autocross must pay the $149 registration fee + pay the $30 autocross entry fee. You must also be a PCA member.

Hmm. I guess if I'm going to spend $200, I'll go to the DE at Autobahn.

I'll likely be at Autobahn since I instruct with Chicago PCA and also instruct for LAPS Inc, which is based at Autobahn.

The Parade Concours is quite a show...you do not need to register to go and have a look at some magnificently prepared Porsches. We in the Chicago Region are quite fortunate to have several National Parade winners available to us for sharing their knowledge and passion. John Takehara (who moved from out region a few years back) is the National Concours Judge and has won numerous events. Pat Yanahan, Jim Jacisin and John Diwik are all National winners and teach in our region, as well.

I used to be a concours guy, but fell in love with tracking many years ago (I still keep up on the tips and tricks though).

Auto-X is fun, but too much standing around for me.
