PCA’LA AT A GLANCE PCA-LA is 350 diverse Porsche owners. We are young and old, novice and expert, slow and fast. PCA-LA is also a "region" of Porsche Club of America, the largest one marque non-factory club in the world. On a national level, PCA publishes an excellent monthly magazine ("Porsche Panorama") and generally provides a forum for learning. But the club part is local. And what PCA-LA offers is an opportunity to share the exhilirating (and sometimes frustrating) experience of understanding, maintaining and driving one of the most unique automobiles of all time.

Los Angeles Region has played the ~roverbial sleeping giant for some years. We’re now waking up. Part of this is taking the initiative to get together with other PCA regions and other Porsche clubs. Once you share events (as for example we’ve been doing with POC on the Challenge Cup Slaloms and Rallyes) you realize that presumed differences are more fiction than fact, and more the result of differences in priority than basic philosophy. The reverse of this is also true. We must express our opinions and see that we make an impact on both Zone 8 and National PCA policies - particularly when they don’t seem right for us. A leadership role is expected of the LA Region - after all, we’re probably the Porsche-owni.ng center 6f the world. More important is that We not be lead by highly organized but narrow(Continued on Page 2) COVER Remember how great events were two’yegrs ago - they StiLl are!

POINTS thinking groups that want to push their rules, regulations and priorities throughout the PCA system. It’s not that we don’t expect people to stop trying this, it’s that we shouldn’t accept it.

Here are the competition points up to and including the March Santa Anita Concours, as tabulated by our secretary, Kurt Schweickhard. If you are displeased with the results, just meet him out in back of the Blarney Castle after the June 13th meeting! Participation points will be coming soon.

Both of these ideas are really a matter of better communication. We shouldn’t disilfusion ourselves and we shouldn’t let other people disillusion us.

i. 2. 3.

The Los Angeles Region has always been a diverse group. Although good in nearly all types of activities and events, we’re not what you would call a "hot dog" in any one area. In the past we’ve thought this was a problem. We’re now realizing that diversity is a unique strength. We don’t have to argue technical issues with other regions, as we’ve done on the question of Zone 8 competition rules. All we have to do is point out that it doesn’t fit our needs. No region has to be railroaded by experts, much less self-ordained experts, We’re a group of people who get together to enjoy ourselves, not serve an ulterior goal, such as making money or seeking life or death recognition. And since the majority of almost any region’s membership is as diverse as we are in total, we truly are in a leadership position. And that’s where it’s at.

i. 2. 3. 4.

5. 6.

Los Angeles Region, with a little coming out of its shell, can be the most personally enjoyable and satisfying region in PCA.

7. 8. 9.

Most of you may not be aware of the Board’s intent, but we’re going to submit LA Region into the Region of the Year competition at the 1975 Parade in Seattle. That entry will be unique and reflect something new that’s happening among Porsche people. The first half of this year has been great, and all indications are that the second half will be even better. So take part and enjoy. By ’77 we’ll be holding the Parade here. Really? It’s possible.

april minutes APRIL GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING The monthly General Membership Meeting of PCA-LA was held at the Blarney Castle on Thursday, April Ii. This was a "buffet" dinner meeting; more compliments about the food than at prior meetings. After dinner the meeting was called to order by our President, Tore Johnson. He introduced the new Tech Chairman, John Williamson, and the new Secretary, Kurt Schweickhard. John Williamson informed us that there will be a Tech Meeting on Wednesday, May 22 at That Porsche Place. This will be a three hour meeting with specifics on alignment and suspension and the application of preventative maintenance. In July the Tech Meeting will be held at Porschop, and it will deal with exhaust systems and related problems, For activities, Del Jackson outlined upcoming events, including a Zone 8 time trials in Phoenix on April 20-21, a May 5th swapmeet at Rusnak Porsche-Audi, and a picnic on April 20. Tore read the official results of the one-day time trial at Willow Springs. There were 60 entries and trophies will be presented at the next meeting. Ron Ramage described the Santa Anita Concours as a perfect event. Trophies were awarded at the event, Membership chairman, Ken Grace, reported about 200 paid members. The next meeting will be held at the Blarney Castle on Thursday, May 9, however, no dinner will be served. There will be a tech discussion with John Williamson and John Brown. The Competition Committee will meet in the interim to discuss Zone 8 competition rules. Since there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned. APRIL BOARD MEETING The monthly board meeting was held at the home of Kurt and Wilma Schweickhard on Wednesday, April 17. Eleven members and guests were in attendance. The officer reports went as follows: (Continued on Page 5)

FRAUD! HORSCHEN AROUND (or If the Bullet’s Silver, Bite It) Early one late afternoon, just about dusk, Sheriff Boothe observed a stranger riding into town wearing a black mask and mounted on a white Horsche with "Carrera" emblazoned on its flanks. (Little did he know that this was the Lone Ramage.) Following c[ose behind was none other than his faithful companion, Tonto Jackson, riding a black Horsche with an "S" branded across its rear. "Tell me, Sheriff, where can we get boarded for the night?" asked the masked man. "Well, POC havin a meetin down the road," replied Sheriff Boothe. "You misunderstand! I said boarded, not bored! .... Well, then you best check with Bourbon Brownlee, the bartender." "Okay, Sheriff, thanks a lot." "Hey, wait a minute, masked man," said the Sheriff. "I’ve seen a lot of masks in my day, but that’s the first one I’ve seen with ’Horsche’ on it." "Hoookay," quipped the Lone Ramage, as he turned to go. The masked stranger and his companion slid silently down to the local saloon. "Are you Bourbon Brownlee?" asked Ramage upon entering. "Yes, I are," said the barkeep. "Tell me, B.B., where can we get boarded for the night? .... Well, POC havin a meetin down the road." "No! No! No! We don’t want our Horsches in traction, we’re just looking to give ’em some action!" shouted the Lone Ramage. "Stranger, if you want action, PCA havin a super Horsche race!" "Are they runnin those square Horsches?" queried the masked man. "Nope," replied Bourbon, "just the thorough-breadS." "Come, Tonto, let’s get over to the blacksmith and get a set of racing shoes." "Right, Kimo Carrera," said Tonto Jackson. On they trave].ed to visit the local smithy. "Are you the blacksmith? .... No, I just toast marshmallows," came the cigar-smoked reply. "Of course, I’m the blacksmith! Name’s Anvil Williamson. I shoe ’em, don’t screw ’em! .... Well, Anvil, we’d like racing shoes put on our Horsches for the big PCA Horsche race." "Haven’t you heard?" asked Anvil. "The Horsche race was cancelled because somebody stole Major Johnson’s old gray mare." "Who do that, Kimo Carrera?" asked the masked man’s companion." "Only time will tell, Tonto." (Continued on Page 5)


(Continued from Page 4)

(Continued from Page 4)

Since this is obviously a tall tale, the Lone Ramage and Tonto naturally decided to rescue the old broken-down mare. "Anvil," asked the Lone Ramage, "who do you think would steal Major Johnson’s Horsche? .... That’s easy, stranger - old Maude Bode." "Who’s that, Anvil? .... She’s the meanest, crankiest, oldest bag in town. And she’s been eyein that mare fer years. You can find her with that rowdy POC bunch."

Vice President - Next membership meeting to be held May 9 at the Blarney Castle with no dinner being served. There will. be a tech question and answer period and a panel of three will explain in detail how to run and win a ral]ye. Secretary - Minutes of th(? last meeting were read and checked for old bosiness not taken care of. Treasurer - Money in the bank is $1,300. It was emphasized that the club must have more control over the amount of money spent for events (trophies). It was suggested that for some events a F, redetermined amount of money should go into the treasury. Membership - We have approximately 200 paid members. A "Fee Due" rubber stamp to go on newsletters was discussed. We wi~l supply 8 or 9 dealerships with club information (how to join, etc.} on specially posted bulletin boards. We discussed new and old ideas for new membership campa igns. (Continued on Page 6)

will time tell? Will they find Maude Bode? will the old qray mare be what she used to be? Will Tonto ever get a word in edgewise? Tune in next month for another sterling segment in this continuing saga.

exchanged Board positions; Don is now the activities chairman and Del is acting as vice-president. Don Kravig, the Zone 8 representative° was introduced. Membership was informed that the Competition Committee had met and worked out several changes regarding the Zone 8 Competition Rules. The proposed changes were read and will be submitted to Don Kravig at the next Board Meeting.

Newsletter - The new issue will not be ready for another week or two. Ways of helping Paul without getting in his way was a main topic. No real solution, but it was suggested to search out a new editor for next year and have him work with Paul now as a sort of "showing the way and getting help" effort, Activities - We found that a Zone 8 event was scheduled at Ontario on the same day as our rallye, May 25. A heated discussion took place on whether we should postpone our event or not endorse the Zone 8 event, It was decided to leave our event as scheduled,

Paul Edwards, our editor, informed the meeting that he was looking for an individual who would be willing to be editor of the newsletter next year, with the idea that Paul could work with him and show him the ropes.

A Competition Committee meeting is to be set up by Tore Johnson for next week. Zone 8 competition rules are to be the topic. A discussion developed about the way National splits and uses membership dues, and also on the format of Panorama. It was suggested that a petition be drafted in order to make National more responsive to the feelings and needs of general membership.

The secretary, Kurt Schweickhard, announced the present competition point standings and the list will appear in the next newsletter. He also indicated that he would be writing to Rusnak Porsche-Audi thanking them for their sponsorship of the Swapmeet held on May 5. Treasurer, Corky Kirk, then gave a detailed rundown on our current financial situation. The new activities chairman, Don Colwell, announced the upcoming events for the year. He then introduced Horace Searcie, who fielded question on his upcoming rallye0 which has been changed to May 18. Membership Chairman, Ken Grace, reported that membership is up and then introduced several guests. (Continued on Page ii)

The day was beautiful, the sun was bright, and so were the faces, spirits and cars of eighteen eager entries for the May "By the N~nbers" Raliye. Their minds were sharp - figuring times, computing distances, asking questions, faking it, the whole bit. But they were cool. Some came to spectate, some came to wish the others well, and some came to try their luck but decided against valor. Oh well, so it goes.

A trip to famous Benbow Inn, located on the Eel River in California’s magnificent Redwood Empire, has been set for July 26-28. Benbow Inn is situated on Highway i01, two miles south of Garberv~ile, Ca]ifornia. Rates are in the range of $14 to $16 per night for double occupancy. There is swh~ing, fishing, delightful hiking trails and a nine-hole, par 36 golf course. For the less active, an attractively comfortable lobby is perfect for bridge, chess, reading and conversation. Since July is the height of the tourist season, and the Inn is very popufar0 early reservations are suggested. A reservation deposit of $i0 should be sent to Benbow Inn, Garberville, California 95440 by June 15th. You may cancel up to forty-eight hours in advance, if necessary. More complete details will be available at the June membership meeting from event chairman, Horace Searcie. Next month’s newsletter will contain info regarding departure, etc. So make plans now for a nice, relaxing week-end with your Porsche buddies in northern California on July 26, 27 and 28!

After registration, coffee and donuts (so graciously supplied and hosted by super salesman Roy Hammork of Downtown PorscheAudi, who also donated their facilities and the trophies), the rallye headed north over freeway, roadway, highway and by-way on Angeles Crest to Palmdale for a do-ityourself check-point. Then a short 60 mph maze which was supposed to end in a manned check-point that could be seen as you worked through the maze. But an error in my directions caused that check point to be thrown out. Lucky for you, kids! Then on to Vasquez Rocks County Park for a picnic, volleyball and general "sweat out" of the results. Trophies were given for the first three places. Congrats to all!

Class v - Speedster Class 1 Jim Levitt 2 Stana Cooper 3 Bob Raucher 4 Ron Ramage 5 Jeff Dewey 6 Gary Tollack

Below are the results of the 3rd Annual Porsche Concours at Santa Anita Race Track sponsored by PCA-LA, in conjunction with Bozzani Porsche-Audi in Monrovia. Twenty-nine cars were on display, including the RSR Carrera from Bozzani. It was particularly good to see some new cars that haven’t been displayed before, along with the old favorites. No matter how many times you see Vern’s g04 on display, it still is a terrific sight. This year, with the introduction of a street car class, attendance was considerably better than last year. Although the event was twice rained out and even the day before saw a very soggy Bentley display on the same lawn, our Sunday morning was bright and sunny, and the whole day followed along beautifully.

Class VI - 356B Street Class i. Bob Bloomingdale 2. John Dusckett Class VII - 356C Street Class i. Rich Tilden 2. Tom Shubin Class VIII - 356A Street Class i. Wes Anderson 2. Dan Wright Class IX - 911 Street Class i. Bill Sussman 2. Bill Walsh 3. Peter Luelsdorf 4. Tore Johnson 5~ Bart Title 6. Sam Wang

Cars were positioned before i0:00 and judging started around 12:45 with a team of five judges carefully inspecting each car. Thanks to Peter Luelsdorf, Don Sommerville, Ron Malmquist, Dale Boyd and Joe Altzman for judging, Don Ris for sco[ing, twenty-nine Porsche owners for participating, all the membership for witnessing and my friend, Mary Ann, for holding my hand through the whole thing. Our highlight of the day came when we were invited to be photographed in the winner’s circle with the winner of the race named for the Porsche Club of America.

This ~s not a ticket, but i~ it were within ~n¥ power, you would ~e~ei~ Because of your Bull Headed, inconsiderate, feeble attempt at parking, you have taken enough room for a 20 mule team, 2elephants,

must make an extra effort to supply the

newsletter with the necessary reports, John Williamson confirmed the May 22nd tech meeting at That Porsche Place.

Don Colwell reported that the women’ s group will call members with a reminder of the May 18th rallye. He reported that Horace Searcie was in a position to purchase a timing device specifically for rallyes. The Board decided that no more than $30 should be spent on this item. A suggestion was presented that sponsoring dealerships engrave their names on trophies. Irwindale was confirmed for the June 9th slalom. Tore will buy the food for the barbeque.

The reason for giving you this is so that in the future you may think of someone else, other than yourself. Besides, I don’t like domineering, egotistical or simple minded

drivers and you probably fit into one ot these catagories.

I sign of~ wishing you an early transmission failure, (on the freeway at about 4:30 p.m.).

Also, may the Fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.

WITH MY COMPLIMENTS II


membership It’s hard to believe that five months have passed since we received our renewal notices. "Now if I could just find it, I could mail it . . ." I hope that everyone has renewed by this time. Since National has been a little slow in getting membership information to me, you may have paid your dues and still not be on my roster. If you are not on my roster, there will be a stamped address on your Porscherama ~o which you can drop me a line indicating that you are an active member. Better yet, xerox a copy of your current membership card, and send it to me. We will be updating the Porscherama mailing list this month, so be sure to contact me if your newsletter is stamped - you don’t want to miss getting the next one!! Thank you. Ken Grace

If you do not renew your membership with National PCA you will not continue to get Porscherama or Pano. Remember .
