An Evening with Justin & Derek Bell
We’re just a few weeks away from An Evening with Justin & Derek Bell here in Charleston on May 8, 2026.
Yes, that's right. Justin and Derek Bell, the Le Mans-winning race car drivers, are coming to Charleston, SC.
We’ve already had a number of members from clubs across the Southeast purchase tickets, and we’re looking forward to having them in Charleston - along with any additional guests they bring.
We still have individual tickets available, along with a limited number of full tables (8 seats) for those who may want to attend as a group.
For groups or clubs coming together, we’ve also created a Host Table Experience, which includes access to the Paddock Pass (5:00–6:00 PM) - a more intimate pre-event session with Justin and Derek before the main program begins.
Ticket link and details here:
https://www.pcapalmetto.org/palmettonews/an-exclusive-evening-with-derek-justin-bell/
We’d love to have you join us in Charleston. This is a joint PCA regional event.

IMAX film: 2DIE4 Premiere
Racing. For Real. 2DIE4 isn’t a traditional movie - it’s a raw, experimental cinematic experience that blurs the line between reality and film. No scripted actors. No staged drama. No CGI. Instead, you’re pulled into the first-person journey of a racing pilot, experiencing his fears, strengths, and mistakes as if they were your own. This is reality portrayed in the most cinematic way possible, an invitation to feel every moment, every heartbeat, every risk. All from the driver's perspective in a Porsche 963 in endurance racing at Le Mans.

Join the CERPCA for a behind-the-scenes tour of the premier business aircraft manufacturer in the world, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, at their facilities near the Savannah International Airport. The visit will be on Friday, 27 March, starting at 0900. We will visit the facilities for the wing build and the G400/500/600 production line, then tour the Flight Test hangars and go onboard a test aircraft. The buildings are not co-located, so you will need to register on clubregistration.net individually and sign the waiver, as we will be driving as a group from the production facility on the north side of the Savannah Airport to the Flight Test hangars on the south side. At the conclusion of the tour, we will drive to a local Mexican restaurant, Los Bravos, for a pay-as-you-go lunch (not required). Please wear soft-soled, comfortable shoes and clothing as there will be quite a bit of walking required on the tour. We are limited to 25 adults attending and will have a wait-list in case of cancellations. Parking details and further information will be provided prior to the day of the event. We look forward to hosting you on this unique opportunity!
