Quarterly Report
Author: Stephen Kemp
Subject: Zone 10 2024 Q4 Quarterly Report
Report: Based on the trip to BIR in July, the Red River Region is interested in starting a DE program at their local track. A major roadblock for this is the lack of HPDE insurance in Canada. Thanks to Peter Spencer for the lead, I was able to track down a new program from Acera Insurance for HPDE track insurance. The cost of insurance is higher than in the US. The cost is similar for a 1-day event, but much high for 2nd and 3rd days.
Helped coordinate 2025 Ozarks International Raceway Club Race discussions between Kansas City and Ozarks region. The current plan is for one club race at OIR in September of 2025.
Attended Schonesland Region Holiday Party. A speaker at his event was Ryan Pemberton who is the general manager at the new Porsche dealer opening in Des Moines in May of 2025. Building on the great relationship for this dealer network in Omaha with Great Plains, the cooperation with Schonesland is off to a great start.
Attended Central Iowa Holiday Party. With the disperse spread of this region’s members, this event is moved each year around the region. Hosted in East Dubuque, this year’s event brought in many members from Illinois part of the region.
Upcoming events I plan to attend scheduled for Q1:
Great Plains Holiday Party in January
Nord Stern Holiday Party in January
PCA Winter Meeting in Atlanta in February
Zone 10 Presidents Meeting February2024
Highlights:
Visited 6 of 10 regions in 2024. Dakota, Red River, Wichita, and St. Louis will be high priority in 2025.
Supported and attended 3 of the 3 PCA Clubrace events held in Zone 10.
Attended winter national meeting.
Attended Parade.
Attended two holiday parties for Iowa regions that were a great opportunity to meet lots of members
