Please take a moment to cast your vote and mail it in by December 3rd. Let’s endeavor to break all voting records, as it would mean that you, the members, have a vested interest in our club and are looking forward to its continued success.

From The Editor’s Desk John Alfenito

’d like to extend a special thank-you to Randy Fishwick, whose brilliant pictures of this year’s concours d’elegance are featured in this month’s Der Auspuff. Randy, who has worked very hard behind the scenes developing and maintaining our region’s website, agreed to come to my rescue when family obligations sent me out of town on concours weekend. Randy and I not only share an interest in the internet and all that it offers, but we’re both budding photographers. When I asked Randy to shoot the concours for me, I know he was both excited to do it and probably a little concerned that he might not do it right. Well, as you can see throughout this issue, he did it beautifully. Thanks, Randy, for a job well done! Speaking of well done...Kent Bodin’s daughter, Tori, filed a terrific article on the “Rebel Without A Cause” run that she and her Dad put together for the club in September. The drive to the intersection of highways 41 & 46 outside Cholame, where James Dean’s life came to a tragic end, was an interesting excursion, as you’ll read beginning on page 11. As Michael said above, there’s lots more coming up on the busy SBR Calendar. Make your plans now to join us on an upcoming adventure. Until next month...

Camarillo Breakfast

Keep Off The Grass!

Rare to see the Way-Point Café lawn without a single Porsche.

STORY & PHOTOS BY JOHN ALFENITO

ne of the Camarillo Breakfast’s biggest attractions is the instant car show created by scores of beautiful Porsches parked on the lawn adjacent to the Way-Point Café’s patio. Well, for the first time in recent memory, no one parked on the lawn for the October breakfast, thanks to an untimely deployment of the automatic sprinkler system. In the early hours, just as our Goodie Store folks were setting up their displays, the lawn sprinklers came on, quickly changing the morning’s dynamic. By the time the sprinklers were tamed, the lawn was far too wet and mushy for Porsche parking, so the early birds quickly filled the airport apron, but the late arrivals were instructed to park in the Way-Point parking lot in front of the restaurant. President Bill Sampson called the meeting to order, introducing a few sponsors and dignitaries. Membership Chair Janice Herndon announced that 110 participants were in attendance, and that 58 Porsches were present. She also recognized renewing SBR members Richard Nuttall and John & Lois Caldwell, all from Camarillo. Also Janice introduced new members Julia Hoppe from Oak Park and George Owen of Ventura. Activities Co-Chair Ted Lighthizer ran down the busy schedule of up-coming club activities. As always, complete information on everything our region does is available here in Der Auspuff, as well as on our website. =

Santa Barbara Breakfast

Intimate Gathering on Stearns Wharf STORY & PHOTOS BY NICOLAS LIAKAS

he combination of Yom Kippur and the region’s Concours d’Elegance scheduled for the next day resulted in a modest attendance number for the October 8, 2011 Santa Barbara Breakfast. Thirty individuals were present, and their 20 Porsches attracted many admirers on the wharf on what was a beautiful day. Among the on-lookers was a group of bicyclists visiting from Norway. They were snapping their photographs and commenting on the number and variety or Porsches. When told that in some months we have as many as 50 cars on display, they commented that such a scene would never happen in their homeland even if there were a national gathering of Porsche owners! We were privileged to take part in a family reunion. Chris Rubino, who joined us along with his wife Caroline, daughter Olivia and son Wesley, shared the morning with Brian and Linda Rubino, members of our Board of Directors and Chairs of the Goodie Store. Speaking of the latter, they have succeeded beyond anyone’s expectations in the management of the store as new and different merchandise have spawned exceptional sales. Kudos.

The Rubino Reunion! (L-R) Linda & Brian Rubino, Olivia, Caroline, Chris, and Wesley Rubino.

Michael Brovsky chaired the meeting. The traditional agenda was followed, with Janice Herndon making the membership report and Doreen Pankow providing details on our upcoming activities. Lots of fun stuff coming up for the balance of 2011. Walt Branscome (from Porsche Santa Barbara) extended an invitation to all those planning to travel to Rennsport Reunion in Carmel to stop by the dealership on their travel north on Hwy 101 for refreshments and snacks and to join a caravan heading for the gathering. Past president Joe Carastro extended another invite for travelers to gather at his Goleta home at 6:30 a.m. for departure to Carmel, but based on the groans regarding the early hour it sounded as if most would avail themselves of Walt’s offer. The group disbanded by 10 a.m., driving off into the brilliant sunshine and appreciating the gentle breezes fanning 70-degree temperatures. What could be better? =

Another wonderfully perfect day in paradise with some of the 20 Porsches on display outside Moby Dick’s.

ost recognize James Dean for his movie roles alongside Elizabeth Taylor or Natalie Wood. However, there is a select group of people who recognize James Dean almost solely for his racing career and the car in which he spent the last day of his life. On September 25, fifty-two people of that latter group met up in Santa Barbara to make their way to Cholame in honor of the 56th anniversary of James Dean’s death. Forming a train of 28 Porsches, my dad and I led the “Rebel Without A Cause” Tour near the intersection of Highways 41 and 46, where the movie star’s deadly car accident occurred. Parking along a road for Jack’s Ranch, the club tried to stay out of Highway Patrol’s way as we gathered to hear about James Dean’s racing career, his tragic end, and the curse of the Porsche left behind.

STORY & PHOTOS BY TORI BODIN

In the year that he died, James Dean had been competing in car races from Palm Springs to Santa Barbara. Placing in top rankings as an amateur, his resume was quickly adding more checkered flags than scripts. Having just finished filming “Giant,” James had also just replaced his 356 Speedster with a 550 Spyder from Competition Motors. Many of his friends warned him about the power of his new car,. Even Alec Guiness predicted the actor’s death when he told him he would be dead in a week if he were to drive it. Ignoring Guiness’s warning, James Dean decided to break in his new racecar by taking a route with more mileage. It was September 30, 1955, and accompanying him was his mechanic, Rolf Wutherich. As they drove within the speed limit, Donald Turnipseed, a then Cal Poly student, was heading home on the same road. Thinking he had enough time to make a left-hand turn in front of the on-coming Porsche, Turnipseed turned his 1950 Ford right into the path of Dean’s Spyder. Rolf, not wearing a seatbelt, survived after being thrown from the car, but James Dean was not so lucky. The actor had only released one film before his death. Porsche had only released ninety 550 Spyders. When the news broke on September 30, both names became

infamous. Everyone wanted to know more about the rebellious actor and the car that got his adrenaline pumping. Since then, both names have grown to immense popularity and prestige, linked perhaps by one of Dean’s most famous quotes: “Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.” Club member Don Kuckenbaker, who was a Salinas resident in 1955, remembers the surprise announcement of the accident. Don brought along the program guide he had purchased at the very race James Dean was enroute to on the day of the accident. Even though Dean entered the competition too late to have his actual name listed in the program, the pamphlet is an incredible piece of memorabilia. Don’s own little piece

of James Dean history was passed around the group, and his personal experience emphasized the impact this accident had on that generation of fans. The tour continued from the crash site to James Dean’s actual memorial. Donated by the Japanese in 1977, the modern sculpture pays tribute to a life taken too soon. Members, who were looking sharp in their “Rebel Without A Cause” Tour t-shirts, posed for a photo before we all took a quick glance at the James Dean memorabilia displayed within the neighboring café. Trying to lift a somber mood, my dad then gave the word for the group to drive down to Eberle Winery in Paso Robles. Continued on page 12

The fateful junction of Highways 41 & 46 was the destination for our “Rebel Without A Cause” Run. Here, SBR members gathered for the story of James Dean’s last day.

Kent Bodin shows photographs of the deadly accident site. Continued from page 11

With our lunch being barbequed beside us, we glanced through books on James Dean while overlooking the great expanse of vineyards below us. Our tour guide then took us on a tour of the winery and its underground caves, which naturally maintain a pleasant 65-degree temperature regardless of the outside heat. Hundreds of barrels lined the underground “streets,” each one holding the equivalent of 25 cases of wine. Eventually, our tour led us to the cave’s dining room where wine tastings were paired with a complete barbeque lunch and dessert selection. Don Kuckenbaker (far right) reads from the original racing program for the race James Dean was enroute to when he was killed. Don attended that race.

All the Santa Barbara Region Porsches, lined up in Cholame under beautiful blue skies.

Many members went on to other wineries or nearby destination cities after the tour and lunch, hopefully feeling full of tri-tip and James Dean recollections. A special thanks goes out to Shady Awad at the Marriott Hotel in Paso Robles for accommodating members that stayed in Paso Robles that night. Thanks, too, to Doreen Pankow for promoting the t-shirts I designed, and to Joan Yabitsu for letting our James Dean cardboard cut-out ride shotgun in their 997 Turbo. Needless to say, James Dean has become a complementary figure to Porsche’s name. There is a special understanding between Porsche owners about what drew James Dean to the car, and also a certain reverence for a man who lived the way he drove. In another one of his famous quotes he said, “The only greatness for man is immortality.”

James Dean believed that greatness was actually measured after death, and I think it’s safe to say that not only has his greatness been immortalized, but Porsche’s name has also developed a similar reputation of its own. Maybe a car company and an actor are not perfect links, but it’s easy to see that both names will forever exist in history as great and refined creations. =

SBR member Jim Watters’s immaculate 1962 356B Twin-Grille Roadster - judged “Best In Show” in the Full Concours category.

STORY BY CAROLYN EWBANK EVENT PHOTOS BY RANDY FISHWICK

beautiful venue, lovely California weather, and 25 judged cars with 10 display cars all combined for our 35th Annual Concours d’Elegance at the Founders Courtyard on the California State University, Channel Islands campus in Camarillo on Sunday, October 10, 2011. No event of this magnitude could ever be successfully staged without the help of many individuals. I’d like to publicly thank the members of the Concours Committee for all their help in making our concours work so smoothly. Dick Douglass, who acted as Concours Co-Chair, always went above and beyond when I needed extra help. His pre-concours detail clinic (see the October issue of Der Auspuff) was both extremely helpful and very entertaining. The Porsches started arriving before dawn with owners eager to begin the final detail process before judging began. Every speck of dust and dirt had to be addressed. Several volunteers were there to greet the early participants. Luckily, coffee, orange juice and pastries were on hand to help the helpers get the busy day off to a well-organized start. Sincere thanks to all the concours volunteers for always stepping up to the plate and helping out where needed.

Our SBA Autocross Co-Chair, Dan Byers, acted as concours emcee, making the necessary announcements to keep our show on schedule and running smoothly. Everyone agreed that Dan did a terrific job, setting the perfect tone for a relaxed day of advanced Porsche appreciation. To add to the relaxation of the day, live music was played by Wally World Music, Thousand Oaks. Wally and his group played and sang classical and 1920’s music, which was enjoyed by all attending. As your Head Judge and Concours Chair, I called the judges meeting at 9:30 a.m., so they could begin their tasks promptly at 10:00 a.m. Twenty-two judges, plus timers and runners, gathered together to get their name badges and other “equipment” necessary to judge the 25 entries that had registered in the competitive classes. Our event sponsor, Rusnak Porsche/Westlake, brought their boutique with lots of Porsche products for sale. The dealership also provided seven new Porsches for our attendees to inspect, which they eagerly did. A huge thank-you goes out to Rusnak for their continuing support of our region throughout the year. Der Auspuff advertiser Lavaggio – The Art of Auto Detailing

Jim Watters received his trophy from Carolyn Ewbank

The People’s Choice Award went to Brett Mohr

Joe & Karen Nedza’s 1963 356B Coupe took top honors in the Street Division

was invited to set up a display on the perimeter of the show field. Some special guests were present too: PCNA Regional AfterSales Manager Kerry West, our own Zone 8 Representative Michael Dolphin and Joe Nedza, Zone 8 Concours Chair. In addition to a concours, we had a charity raffle and silent auction with the proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity. Ticket sales raised over $1200. Mike & Karen Turek deserve our thanks for bringing together this “extra” element of the concours. With 25 judged entries to inspect, the judges worked through the morning. As lunchtime arrived, a delicious Mexican buffet was served, first to the judges, timers, and runners so they could get back to the task at hand. A short time later, participants and guests lined up for the hearty lunch, including delightful cheesecakes for dessert, and sat down at the tables in the shade of the giant trees. As judging continued, Jeanette Bassett and Linsey Orr, as they have done in numerous years past, processed the scoring, getting everything ready for the Awards Ceremony which was held about 2:15 p.m. We had two sets of re-judging as two divisions were large. Jeanette and Linsey handled this admirably in determining the division winners. Before the concours awards were announced and presented, each judge was recognized and given a cooler for beverages as a token of our thanks for all their hard work. It would be impossible to stage a successful concours without our judges. We thank them all again.

Now, to the awards (complete list is on page 21). Bill Clevenger with his beautiful 1963 Ivory 356 Coupe, joining us from San Pedro, won the Wash & Shine Division. Taking Best of Show in the Street Division was Karen & Joe Nedza with their gorgeous 1963 Gray 356 Coupe. Joe & Karen traveled from the Newport Beach area, Orange Coast Region to join us. In the Unrestored Division, John Kraus with his 1988 White 911 Carrera Targa was presented with the Best of Show. John is a proud Santa Barbara Region member. With all six parts of the car judged, including undercarriage, James Watters and his 1962 Blue 356 Roadster took home the Best of Show Award in Full Concours. James is also a member of our Santa Barbara Region. All concours entrants and those whose cars were displayed received a ballot to select their favorite Porsche at the show – The People’s Choice Award. The winner was Brett Mohr and his 1966 Red 912 Coupe. It’s always a treat giving out an award to an owner whose car was deemed best by all the other participants…not judged, but preferred by the majority. Congratulations to Brett and to everyone who participated. We look forward to seeing you all again next year as the Santa Barbara Region proudly celebrates its 36th annual gathering of the greats. =

Tech questions & answers from the technical experts at pca.org

Boxster, Flush Brake Fluid Model: Boxster S, Year:2005, Mileage: 22540 On 2005 Boxster S with PSM, PASM, and Sport Chrono must the car be connected to the service computer to flush the brake fluid? The car does not have to be connected to a Porsche tester to bleed the brakes. The tester does offer bleeding through the right front caliper. This allows a quick flush of the system from that caliper, but you still have to bleed the other three wheels individually. Should you not have a tester, then bleed all four manually with a pressure bleeder or with an assistant to pump the brakes for you. answered by Scott Slauson

Skip Shifting Model: 911, Year: 2007, Mileage: 37000 Is there any harm in skip-shifting? I tend to go from 1st to 3rd or 2nd to 4th. Could this result in any reliability issue? There is no harm in skipping gears when up-shifting. You could shift from 1st to 6th, if you really wanted to, though it would definitely lug the engine. However, skipping gears when downshifting can be disastrous. Downshifting too fast (i.e. 4th to 1st) can over-rev the engine and cause serious internal engine or transmission concerns. Downshifts should always be made one gear at a time. answered by Dustin Aydt [SVR] 1992 Carrera C2 Concerns Model: 911C2, Year: 1992, Mileage: 108000 What are the major potential problems with the 1992 C2 model? The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;92 is actually quite reliable, especially if you have a later one with the 2nd generation cylinders and improved dual mass flywheel. Depending on how it is driven and the care it has had, valve guide wear becomes an issue (but this is true of all 911s), oil leaks from the engine, distributor belt, flywheel, central warning system, fuel tank seepage (rare, but it happens). These cars have been overlooked for a while, but are becoming more popular. answered by Chris Powell [PNW]

Thank you Lavaggio for hosting our dinner board meeting at your beautiful facility. Present were: Michael Brovsky, Steve Kaller, Janice Herndon, Doreen Pankow, Ted Lighthizer, John Alfenito, Joan & Chet Yabitsu, Linda & Brian Rubino, Jim Brown, Carolyn Ewbank, Martin Keller, Dan Byers, James Oldham, Randy Fishwick, Mike Turek, Nick Liakas, Dave Stone, Dick Lange, and Nadine Tracy. In view of Bill Sampson’s resignation as president of the region, the duties of the presidency have been assumed by the Vice President, Michael Brovsky. Secretary: The September board meeting minutes were approved as submitted. Vice President: No report. Treasurer: Steve presented his Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss YTD Comparison, Balance Sheet Previous Year Comparison, and Profit & Loss Previous Year Comparison. Discussion followed. Membership: During the month of September, nine new members joined our region. At the end of September, membership stood at 704. Activities: Sign up early for upcoming events: November 5th SBR Rally School, November 12th Zone 8 El Camino Real XXVIII Rally, November 19th Bouquet Canyon Drive to Wolf Creek Restaurant & Brewery, December 4th Motor for Toys, and December 10th SBR Holiday Party. Editor: Fliers will run for the Rally School, El Camino Real XXVIII Rally, Bouquet Canyon Run to Wolf Creek Brewery, the Holiday Dinner Party, and MLK Weekend to Palm Springs. A new business card ad was created for Andy’s Detailing and Rusnak Westlake submitted a new full-page ad which will debut in November. Distribution: Chet told the board that 736 copies of the October newsletter were mailed out of the Thousand Oaks bulk mail desk on September 28th, by Sir Speedy’s mailing company. Steve Kaller deposited $400.00 into our account at the post office on September 26th. Of this, $331.02 was used for postage, leaving $68.98 in the account. A motion was made and passed to

give Distribution $335.00 for postage costs for the November newsletter. Advertising: Don’s report caught the board up to date on ad revenues billed and paid. Goodie Store: Brian reported the following: September Autocross sales of $135.00 with profit of $29.80, October Camarillo breakfast sales of $268.00 with profit of $76.15, October Santa Barbara breakfast sales of $379.00 with profit of $163.00, and Concours sales of $587.50 with profit of $227.21. Total sales were $1369.50 with total profit of $496.16. Merchandise donations to the concours raffle from the Goodie Store were $224.00. The Goodie store is asking for reimbursement in the amount of $1222.56. A motion was made and passed for this reimbursement. A motion was made and passed to allow the Goodie Store to purchase new merchandise, up to $1500.00, to restock the store and to get reimbursed for these purchases. Insurance: Jim reported that all certificates are filed through year’s end. Concours: The concours went very smoothly and fun was had by all. Thank you Rusnak for sponsoring this event. We had several Zone 8 regions represented both in judged cars and in the judging staff. Thank you Karen & Mike Turek for your hard work making the raffle and silent auction happen. Thanks, also, to all those who donated items. The effort raised $1275.00. Autocross: Dan and Martin reported that the Autocross dates for 2012 at the Camarillo Airport will be April 27th and 28th, July 27th and 28th, and September 21st and 22nd. Santa Barbara Autocross will be held at Earl Warren Showgrounds on March 11, 2012. A motion was made and passed to give the Autocross chair $1440.00 to lock in the 2012 dates at the Camarillo Airport. A motion was made and passed to try and sell our old autocross timing equipment for $500.00. Archives: No report. Webmaster: Activity for October consisted of uploading current event fliers and updating the event calendars. Our PCASB Flicker group at http://www.flickr. com/groups/pcasb/ was updated by several PCASB members, resulting in their photos

being displayed at the bottom of our http:// pcasb.org website. Randy reported that John Alfenito discovered a free site for publishing our newsletter. Though this particular site may not be ideal for our uses, we may eventually need to move to a strictly online distribution system as publishing and mailing costs continue to escalate. Safety: Mike thanked both Martin and Dan for their efforts in putting on flawless autocrosses. All safety measures are in place. P.M.S.: No report. R.U.F.: The September event was cancelled. October 20th finds the group visiting the facilities of Guide Dogs of America in Sylmar. A special tour has been arranged that will give the group access to areas not normally open to the public. There will be a presentation on how puppies are bred and trained for their special mission, and how they are placed with compatible human partners. On November 17th the group visits St. Thomas Aquinas College for a special tour of the campus with emphasis on the architecture of the former Doheny residence and the chapel heritage site known across the U.S. They will share lunch with students at the cafeteria. Nick was pleased to report that three members are expressing an interest in assuming some of the responsibilities for R.U.F. for calendar year 2012. Past President: No report. Old Business: John Alfenito presented a new proposal to the board for distributing ballots to the membership via the magazine that will hopefully encourage more members to vote. A motion was made and passed to pay Sir Speedy Printing $248.88 to print ballots and insert them into the November issue. New Business: A motion was made and passed to appoint Janice Herndon as our club’s Public Relations Director for 2012. Congratulations Janice. The board discussed appropriate recognition for Joe Schneider and Joe Boucher for their years of service to the club as Rally Chairs. Meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m. The November board meeting will be held at The Four Points Sheraton in Oxnard.
