President’s Corner S P E CIAL PARADE E DI T I ON

Joe Di Maggio Children’s Hospital was the big winner One of the biggest surprises of the Parade was when I got a call from PCA National President, Tom Gorsuch, who said the custom surfboards on display were going to be auctioned off for a local region charity and asked what charity Gold Coast Region would like to make the donations to. ….. That answer was easy – JoeDiMaggio Children’s Hospital, our go-to charity for which a $20,000 donation goal had been set at the beginning of the year. At the autocross banquet one surfboard was auctioned off for $4,500.

At the Victory banquet, two surfboards were auctioned off for $7,500 and $7,100 for a grand total of $19,100. A huge thanks to all those who participated in the auction and particularly Gold Coast Region’s Lana Henning who stepped up and had the winning bid for the highly desirable “Pink Pig” surfboard. Lana’s generosity extended even further by giving the surfboard to a member from Hawaii who had a car wrapped in exactly the same “pink pig” design. The plan is that when the checks arrive, a special presentation will be made to the hospital. With the money raised with the surfboard actions and the recent Autofest donation, GCR has generously exceeded the $20,000 goal. Look for more charity/public service opportunities at future events

Steve Kidd - President

Competitive events..

For some folks, Parade is all about competition. The major competitive events are concours, rally, autocross, and tech quiz.

Lots of other competition in activities such as golf tournament, art show and 5K run/ walk to name a few. Other forms of competition occur in areas such as website and newsletter awards, public service, family and enthusiast recognitions as well as coveted awards such as PCA region of the year. I’m not going to spoil the surprises and ask all our readers to go to this year’s Porsche Parade website and see how GCR members did. I will tell you this, one of the most coveted competitive awards is the autocross fastest time of the day. After lots of practice and strategy, hometown favorite Rad Delgado won this award and I believe the first time GCR has won Parade AX FTD since the last time GCR hosted the parade back in 1968.

Tours and Banquets For those wanting activities without competition, there were many tours available just about every day. Some of these tours were rather lengthy drives, some visited car collections, and others were just plain FUN. Again, for the full listing of tours, please see the Parade website for photos and other information about

these tours. For those that like to eat and drink, there were various food and beverage tasting activities as well as more formal banquets on five of the seven nights.

At the banquets, awards and presentations were made as well as speeches from top officials at Porsche, PCNA, and PCA. At each banquet sets of tires and other cool items were given away with one of the best prizes being an all expense paid trip to Germany with a visit to the Porsche Factory included.

The 64th parade in our region...A long time coming...

As indicated before, the 64th Parade was the first time a parade had come to our region since the 13th parade was held in Palm Beach at the Colonnades Hotel in 1968. If history repeats itself, it will be many years before another parade comes to South Florida.

Next year the parade will be in Palm Springs California and the following year in French Lick Indiana. Hopefully many Gold Coast members took advantage of this unique opportunity and when possible will travel to other parts of the country for future parades. Parade is the pinnacle event for PCA and each year they get better and move to a different area of the country.....Hopefully Dottie and I will see some of you in Palm Springs next year.

Until next month.....Steve

A huge thanks to GCR volunteers Parades could not take place without a huge number of volunteer hours to plan and support each activity. Gold Coast Region had many volunteers that deserve special recognition, not only for the hours worked but also for providing local knowledge and assistance to other PCA members outside our area. Let me also mention that anyone who worked at least two volunteer shifts was entitled to attend the volunteer luncheon where lots of great prizes, including sets of tires were given away.

Editor’s Notes Boca Porsche Parade was a blast. This was the third Parade in our Florida area and will probably never be closer in our lifetime. I hope you were able to be part of the experience. We had a large amount of Gold Coast members that attended their first Parade.

If you attended and would like to write a paragraph about your Parade experience please submit it this month so we can publish your response next month.

It is hard to capture the full week of Parade in one issue of the Kassette so we will have more coverage next month.

Check out the web both Goldcoastregion. org and PCA.org for additional coverage.

Parade is supported by volunteers.

When working the volunteer shift, meeting

Roger Fabel- Editor

and working with members from other regions is a great benefit. I was able to bring back ideas on how to improve our charity program. Speaking about charity, check out the picture of surfboards that were auctioned off with the proceeds going to Gold Coast for our local charity. I was sitting at the table of a Gold Coast member who was bidding on one of the boards.

The bid was started by a member from Hawaii who had a car that matched the paint scheme of the board. After the price was raised by three people near me the first bidder dropped out. During the bidding process the MC, Mark Shevits asked the friend of the bidder at our table what she thought. She replied, “She’s going to win”. And she did with the winning bid of

$7500. The picture of that special moment is on page 13. The story of the charitable Gold Coast member does not stop there.

While she was writing the check she also presented the surfboard to a very surprised Gunther Mench from Hawaii.

One of our long time supporters, Tuners was on display in the vendor showcase along with PCNA and Porsche Design.

I attended most of the Tech Tactics events and gained some very good technical information. Pedro gave a great presentation on the history and development of IMS solutions.

We have included voting instructions and bios for the 2020 slate of officers and board positions. Please review and vote for the next directors of your region.

Vice President - Kyle Rathbun Kyle is our current Treasurer and would be honored to serve as your Vice President of The Gold Coast Region (GCR).

To say that Porsche and PCA CGR are his passion may be an understatement. Kyle joined GCR in late 1975 after purchasing his first Porsche, a 914 2.0, and bought his tenth Porsche, a 2018 911 Carrera T last year. Since joining, he has served in various capacities, either as an Officer or on the Board from the late 70’s through 2011, and has been your Treasurer since 2016, when he accepted the call to serve mid-term. He has ethically, enthusiastically and proudly served as President, Vice President, Treasurer, Board Member, Autocross Chair, Membership Chair, Sonnenfest Chairperson, Track Event Chairperson, Chief Driving Instructor (18 years) and served on the committees that started our Drivers Education program and the 48 Hours of Sebring Club Race. Kyle serves on the Club Race Committee (25 years and counting) in the position of Administrator. Over the years he has helped guide the Club Race, which has made such a huge contribution to the financial security of our Region.

Kyle and his wife, Deb attended the 2019 Porsche Parade at Boca Raton where he won his 5th National Championship in the Autocross Event. This was the 17th National Parade he has attended.

He would appreciate your vote so that he may continue to work on the 2020 Board of Directors to sustain the growth and success of our Region. He will continue to encourage new members to become active and learn about the friendship and camaraderie that he has enjoyed for the last 44 years.

Kassette |Sep 2019

Treasurer- Carolyn Ditrichs Carolynn is running for the position of Treasurer.

She has been a member of Gold Coast region since 2012 when she bought her 2006 Boxster S. Carolyn knew she had bought a great car but what she didn’t realize was that she would become part of the Porsche family and meet so many great people. Her first club activity was an exciting dine and drive to Key Largo. For the next year, she mostly participated in the dine and drives gradually branching out to other activities including autocrosses, car collection tours, a driver’s ed at Sebring, several Zonefests, the monthly breakfasts, and more. Carolyn has been a volunteer at the 48 hours for the past several years and also with the autocross committee, but would like to become even more involved in the club.

She has a Bachelors and Masters degrees in Accounting from the University of Florida and has been a CPA in Florida since 1986. She started her career at the public accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand where she spent her first 5 years.

For the past 28 years, Carolyn has worked at NCCI in various accounting and auditing positions.

In her spare time, she likes to travel, swim, play tennis, and participate in Gold Coast club events, especially the autocrosses, which has been a wonderful bonding activity for her son Damon and herself for the past four years. She will be attending her first Porsche Parade this summer and is really looking forward to it.

She would appreciate your vote so that she can give back to the club which has given her so much over the years.

Secretary- Dottie Kidd Many of you know Dottie Kidd from her involvement with the GCR Autocross program and volunteering at many Gold Coast events, however here are other highlights of Dotties PCA

Overall women’ s tech quiz champ at 2018 Parade Dottie has a reputation for being highly organized ,detail oriented and always willing to help wherever needed. She retired from the US Postal Service, and prior to that was a bookkeeper/office manager/executive secretary for several private employers. After the death of her son Timmy she became actively involved with The Compassionate Friends, a grief support group for parents whose children have passed., and served in various capacities such as fund raising and membership.

You can find Dottie at most events driving a blue 944S2, white GT3 or Gray Cayman S. . She looks forward to continuing to serve Gold Coast Region for many more years and making GCR a region to be proud of. Goals include, but are not limited to, increasing PCA junior and family membership, enthusiastically welcoming new members and introducing them to GCR activities and leading by example.

Director- Ed Blair It has been my pleasure to be a member of the Gold Coast Region/PCA since acquiring my first Porsche, a 2014 Boxster in early 2017. Although the reasons to purchase a Porsche are obvious to Porsche enthusiasts, one of my main objectives in becoming a Porsche owner was to connect with other owners who share my love of these amazing vehicles. I am a former motorcycle rider and always enjoyed the camaraderie of group rides and being in a riding club. Being a member of the Gold Coast Region/PCA has given me the opportunity once again to enjoy group rides and fellowship with other Porsche drivers.

I have met many wonderful people in the short time that I have been involved with this group and would love to become more involved. I am an enthusiastic volunteer and have thoroughly enjoyed the events in which I have assisted. Some of these events include assisting with traffic curbside at Porsches by the Bay last year; leading the Broward group down to Schnebly Winery; and assisting at the Tech tent during the 48 Hours of Sebring this past March. Currently I am the chair for the Gold Coast trip to North Carolina. I am very excited about this epic trip and hope it can be repeated on an annual basis.

On a personal note, I am a fifty-year resident of South Florida. I grew up in Hollywood and currently reside in Cooper City.

My wife Dawn and I have two terrific sons, Brian and Scott. Brian is currently entering medical school and Scott is a computer programmer living in California.

I spent most of my career in the petroleum industry. Additionally, I have been a business owner quite a few times including a candy store in the Aventura mall and a private investigative firm. Currently I own a building inspection firm and consider myself an investor.

I am passionate about giving back to the community and I have served as the Chairman of the Broward County Local Advocacy Council working for the rights and protections of people within state care. I am currently a board member of the Hollywood Lions Club. I am active in the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and

the Dania Chamber of Commerce.

I am honored to be considered for a position on the board of the Gold Coast Region / PCA. I look forward to being more involved and welcome the responsibilities that such a position requires.Â

Director- Roger Fabel In 1964 while in high school, Roger entered his first rally with a sports car club in Pompano Beach.

During the rally he saw a 356 and decided to own a Porsche in the future. After college, military service, raising two boys, his dream was fulfilled 37 years later. In 2001 he purchased his first Porsche, a GR Boxster S. It did not take long until Roger came across an autocross where Mike and Diana Hansen gave him an overview of the club and a week later he and his wife attended Zonefest. Not bad timing after waiting so long for a fantastic car. They got involved quickly and helped with the social and technical activities.

They were lucky to be part of the planning and tech team for the Tampa and Hersey Parades along with the local Zonefest, Rennfest, Rolex 24 and many other PCA events. Three years later Roger was elected to the board, then became vice president and two years later president. While serving he found PCA to truly be about the people. After being president, he became editor the Kassette and has enjoyed taking it from a one-page b/w to 36 color pages over the last 13 years. He is also honored to be on the 48 Hours of Sebring Club Race Committee. Roger would like to be considered for a board position so that he can continue to give back and help the club grow, meeting the needs of the members.

Being on the GCR planning committee Roger will continue to vote for more social driving events that are the most popular events held in Gold Coast. Roger helped to add more events during the 2019 season while serving on the board. 2020 will be another year of expanding events, Thank you for your support of our club.

Director- Randy Gananathan My passion for Porsche compels me to enroll in two PCA regions, first with Gold Coast Region and then with Upper Canada Region. Active in both regions, I’ve volunteered in multiple programs. As Editor-in-Chief of Provinz Magazine, I won the Betty-Jo Turner award for the top newsletter among all PCA regions at Parade last year.

For the past few years, I’ve hosted the monthly Porsches & Pancakes in West Palm Beach. I’ve assisted in judging at Porsches By The Bay and at the national Concours at past Parades. I am the National SUV Registry Advocate assisting Cayenne and Macan owners in America and Canada. In June 2019, I assisted the national office to launch Perfourmance NEWS, an electronic newsletter for 4-door Porsche owners that will be sent out to PCA members who opted in. Hence the “four” in the newsletter’s name.

With Porsche Parade being held in Boca Raton this year, I’ve assisted in kicking off PCA’s inaugural SUV Tours at Parade and will lead the tours, driving off-road and guiding participants through a local nature preserve. We hope to continue with SUV Tours at future Parades and begin another initiative called Safari Education, focused on driving on unpaved routes, that will be the sibling program of PCA’s very successful Driver Education program for the track.

Last year, in celebration of 70-years of Porsche, I stepped up to the challenge to have my full face painted with the logo as you see here. It is with this passion for the brand and to foster camaraderie with fellow members that I ask for your vote to be elected to the Gold Coast Region’s Board of Directors to continue assisting in programs and other activities for our mutual enjoyment.

Director- Mike Koller

Director- Rick Veingrad

Mike moved to south Florida in the late ‘80s and a few years later bought his first Porsche, an ’84 944.

He joined Gold Coast Region then and has enjoyed being a member ever since.

He started out by attending social events and autocrosses, as well as DEs, as he proceeded to buy his first 911 in ’95. Of course, it’s still in his garage today, along with a couple of other favorites.

Over the past 30 years as he was growing his business in the marine industry, he sometimes ran out of time to enjoy his Porsche passion. But in the last five years, he started to have more control of his schedule and could devote more time to enjoying his cars and helping the Club.

He’s been active in social and driving activities, as well as assisting with several concours and car shows; Porsches by the Bay at the Mandarin Oriental; the Sebring Club Race and other Zone 12 events. He believes we’re fortunate to be members of PCA and to have the opportunity to enjoy our wonderful cars, share our Porsche passion with others and hopefully make great friends and have a lot of fun along the way.

He’d appreciate the opportunity to serve as a Gold Coast Region Director, to help maintain a fun club that encourages member participation and volunteerism, car education, enthusiasm and giving back to our communities as well. He thanks you for considering him for the Board of Directors.

I originally learned of PCA by chance in 2014 seeing all the Porsches lined up for a Porsches & Pancakes breakfast. My Panamera and I became a member soon afterwards. I have been very involved in many of the club’s events volunteering at the concours & car shows, participating in most of the drives & dines, and attending the tech sessions.

Most know me from the annual summer Sanibel Run that I created.

We all have enjoyed the drive & dines. I felt it needed more than lunch. In 2018, I presented the Sanibel Run weekend to the GCR Board.

I negotiated with the hotel a fantastic rate as well as secured well known local restaurants to accommodate our large group without the need of special menus or prepaid orders.

In August of this year, the event drew hundreds of members from all over the state to attend, making it a multi-chapter social as well.

Also, I recently relocated the Fort Lauderdale/Davie Happy Hour Social to its new location at CJ Blacks which got rave reviews and increased attendance.

Professionally, after receiving a business degree for the University of Miami in 1981, I started a chain of Video Stores in Broward County serving the area for over 30 years. I have also distributed movies to other retail stores around the state.

I am serving a second re-elected term as President of the University of Miami Alumni Band, I’m also a past President of the Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) trade group.

I am running for the GCR Board of Directors because of my continued commitment over the years to helping out the chapter, creating new ideas and programs, and continue to assist and communicate to chapter members.

Thanks for your support, Rick Veingrad
