Over the last few months, I’ve been finding new owners for two of my toys. Many of you know them by their license plates +6PSI and TOYNBR3.
+6PSI is a 1996 Mazda Miata I’ve owned since 1997. I modified it extensively, kept all the old parts, and used it for Autocross events for a decade. TOYNBR3 is a 1988 Porsche 911, also modified and used as a track car until last year. I still have all the parts that were removed.

This article is the first in a three‑part series exploring the evolution, capabilities, and inner workings of NCR‑PCA.ORG. Our goal is to give members a clearer understanding of what it takes to operate and maintain the website that supports so much of our club’s communication. This month, we look back at the site’s history—from its earliest days in the 1990s to the modern platform we rely on today.
