MISSION:

IMPOSSIBLE

Joe Schneider, Infamous Rallyemaster, is coming again.

Reserve March 24tho A repeat performance ending in Bouquet Canyon entitled MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE2~ DECEMBER TECH MEETING The last event for the year 1967 took place on the cool, foggy evening of December 27th.

Despite the fog, 15 Porscheneers managed to find the rendezvous in Culver City where Stu Haggart maintains a pair of yellow race-prepared 911’s.

Gil Ranney, owner-driver of one car, was there to answer questions and grimace when Stu started his LOUD engine to check everyone’s noise threshold.

It was loud enough just sitting in the machine, engine off, listening to the trio of electric fuel pumps.

Anyway, Stu’s facilities were impressive and there was plenty of time to ask him appropriate questions, as Myron Kagan and Alain Mona found out.

Long distance award for the evening was won, as usual, by Lancasterite Joe Schneider.

Honorable mention went to Don Morris’ father, visiting from Montana.

Non-Porsche conveyance demerits were given to Ray Cooper Lyle Arnold, and Bill Mclnery.

(All in fun fellas~) Curt Kuebler TECH TIPS PCA’er Ernest Ozsva~h suggests a low cost substitute for the factory $4.90 - 912 paper amr filter cartridges.
