PORSCHERAMA 2009
Sponsored by Ray Catena Porsche
September 12 and 13
Pocono International, Long Pond, PA
Porscherama 2009 registration is now open! We are extremely fortunate to have Ray Catena Porsche sponsoring Porscherama for the second year in a row: please stop by their dealership in
This year’s Porscherama includes the most requested features from past events and a streamlined schedule. Here are some highlights:
· Two days of Drivers Education, including the double infield (and bowl?) on Saturday and two courses on Sunday.
· The season’s best, and longest, Autocross course on Sunday. Fits nicely into the DE schedule, so sign up for both events!
· The north course Time Trial on Sunday (do I hear bragging rights?)
· A great Dinner / Party on Saturday evening (did someone mention door prizes?)
· A Saturday Trek for those who can’t make the whole weekend: a leisurely drive to the Poconos for some spectating, cocktails, and dinner with your Porsche friends. With the option to drive on track in a special Touring Group session.
· Sign up now at http://nnjr-pca.motorsportreg.com. Drivers, volunteers (we do need extra help, especially on Sunday), volunteer instructors, and Trek participants should all sign up online.

1. The registration page contains a number of 'packages'. The first screen you see will present the following packages (notice that a ‘package’ will have an open circle next to it):
- DE Student
- DE Solo Driver
- Autocross
- Touring Group
- Dinner
- DE Instructor
- DE Instructor Volunteer (Not Driving)
- Volunteer
2. For students and solo drivers (non-instructors), start at the top of the list and select the first (top-most) package in the list containing an event you want to sign up for. For example, if you want to do DE and AX, select the appropriate DE package (because the DE packages are the top-most choices on the list). You can only select one package, but fear not, you can still sign up for your additional events!
3. Once a package is selected, the remaining events will appear underneath, this time with open squares next to the selections. Use only these selections with squares to sign up for additional events and ignore the rest of the 'packages' with open circles. Also ignore the text next to each activity selection, this is a carryover from the 'package' descriptions.
For example, if you selected “DE Student”, the following additional selections will open up under this package. Choose any additional events you want to sign up for. You can hit 'clear' and start over if you make a mistake.
- Autocross
- Dinner
If you selected the AX package, then DE will not be available within the package, but the dinner will.
4. If you are an instructor, your only choices are Instructor or Volunteer instructor. Just as before, once a package is opened, you will be able to sign up for any other events (AX, Dinner, etc.)
5. Volunteer event workers (not volunteer instructors) will pick only "Volunteer".
6. Touring Group …
You may pay on-line by credit card (a 5% cancellation fee applies), or pay by check. If you are paying by check, please make it out to "NNJR-PCA" and mail it to the following along with a copy of your registration receipt:

All this is much easier that it sounds! If you have any registration questions, don’t hesitate to contact David Murphy at david.murphy@embarqmail.com or 908-735-9642 General questions on Porscherama can be sent to Porscherama@nnjr-pca.com
