The Porsche Club of America has over 139,000 members across its 141 Regions. The Riesentöter (RTR) Region is the ninth largest and one of the most active regions in the country. Originally founded in 1957 as the Eastern Pennsylvania Region of Porsche Club of America, we were the second region of PCA to be founded, and we consisted of 15 members. Changing our name in l973 to Riesentöter (say Ree-zen-toat-er) which loosely translated from the German means Giant Killer -- a whimsical reference to the race track might of the little Porsches over the big Corvettes, Ferraris and Jaguars of the day. Many of our members reside in the 9 counties of southeastern Pennsylvania, specifically: Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Lehigh, Northampton, Philadelphia and Schuylkill. However, Porsche owners residing anywhere in the world are welcome to apply for membership. Riesentöter strives for balance of activities to offer its members. Owning a Porsche and being a member of RTR/PCA presents the owner/member with the opportunity to participate in events such as:
* Monthly meetings featuring interesting topics and speakers
* Annual social events such as our Summer Picnic, and Holiday Banquet
* Road Rallies, Concours de Elegance, Autocross, Driver's Education and much more
Long perceived by other regions as a drivers' region, Riesentöter promotes heavily the use of the car -- driving it, not just showing it. Although completely independent of each other, RTR Autocrossing flows beautifully into Drivers' Education (Track Events), and Drivers' Education flows into Club Racing. RTR members are often National Champions in whatever realm of competition they may enter. Perhaps the most important thing that Riesentöter Region, Porsche Club of America has to offer is the camaraderie that is generated when over 1,400 people with a common affection for one of the worlds finest automobiles come together to celebrate that affection, and to share their experiences with each other. We hope that, you will consider joining us in that celebration.
