This is also a good place to brush up on your creative writing skills.

Bruno’s Pizzeria was the place for our first dinner meeting in many months. A hungry group of about 80 feasted on a superb Italian buffet. Dinner began at 8:00 with a short business spot at 9:00. Rick began by welcoming everyone and announcing our new meeting place and the first meeting at this site - the California Yacht Club on June 24. Brief reports followed in order to allow plenty of time for our guest speaker. Publicity: Pau! will be working on the paper this week-end. Membership: Bob introduced new members and guests. Technical: Marc gave his tech meeting date as May 26, and the topic as ignition. Activities: Ron quickly reviewed upcoming events and then awarded trophies from the PCA-POC Challenge Cup Rallye. Our guest speaker was Mr. Sam Weill, who related many interesting and humorous events that led up to his position as former president of Volkswagen Pacific. His story began in the early fifties and concluded with his selling out of his share in V.P. back in 1973. Many thanks to Mr. Weill for an informative and entertaining narrative. ~
ATTENTION ALL 356, 356A, 356B OWNERS! Did you know there is a club devoted to your car? Just over one year old and national in nature. It is an organization oriented exclusively to the interest, needs and unique problems of the 356 Porsche owner and enthusiast, the goal of which is to help in the preservation and perpetuation of the vintage 356 Series Porsche. The 356 Registry also serves as a central forum for the exchange of ideas, experiences and information -- enabling all of us to share the "356" with one another without the "one to one"correspondences. Dues are $i0 per year for which you receive a copy of the 356 Registr[ every other month. Dues should be sent to: Bill Durland, 99 Roundhill Rd., Greenwich, Conn. 06830. If you would like more information or application forms, please feel free to call one of our local enthusiastic members, Bob Raucher (PCA-LA) at (213) 784-6081.

Because I usually tend to sit on the sidelines or catch rides with mo~e experienced drivers at s~ged events -- this year’s Zone 8 Willow Springs time trials was an exciting change for me. ~ had driven at Willow once before (one week-end when a
few brave souls from LA stuck it out through the rain and snow!) but that’ s the only time I’d found the courage to venture out on a real live race track with ~e behind the wheel. This time I made my mind up a week ahead that I was really going to give it my "all" - even went out and got a helmet to boost my courage. Saturday morning found Paul and I loaded down with suitcases,. folding chairs, racing tires, and all the other necessiti’es (such as suntan -- or should I say sunburn -- lotion, grit remover, etc.) that you need when taking off fo~ Willow. Not too far outside of Palmdale, we spotted a CHP and a Porsche off to the side of the road. At first we didn’t recognize the poor driver -then we noticed his ~urgical cap. Yap, it was none other than Doc Sam - guess he Was trying to take Turn 21 of the Antelope Valley Freeway a little too fast. Of course, we i~ediately slowed our pace to avoid being the next one caught. After a quick breakfast break to console Sam, we headed out to the track, which we almost didn’t recognize because of the new construction -- a ~eaZ building -- probably to house Jim Russell’s Driving School. We arrived just in time for Joe Schneider’s first driver’s meeting, conducted with typical Schneider aplo~. Santa Barbara and Joe did a super job in making the event fun and safe. Outside ~ a ~tle :~low-up in the tecb a-rea (no, John, you ~e~ZZy weren’t in line for 3 hours~), everything ran smoothly with all-~f us getting in lots of practice time. Los Angeles Region was well-represented on the track and in the pits. Nick Friesen (who did a ~ot of work as starter and instructor), Judd & Ginger, Ursula, Mary Felo, Sam & Ann, John Williamson,_ Lynne Smith, Jose & Lark, John and Evelyn LeFlang, Lee & Pat Hurty, Steve Michaelson, DeWitt Collier, Jack DiRosario ("Would you believe my tires are stuck on a Teamster’s truck somewhere in Texas?"), and Edith and Ruth (both of whom we’ve missed for awhile) were a few of the f~iliar faces I saw. Free beer after the track closed for the day got us all in the mood to head back to town for a relaxing evening. Thanks to Nick’s great memory for good food, some of us had a terrific Mexican dinner in Lancaster -- believe it or not, Lancaster has a decent restaurantl~ Sunday’s practice started out a little shaky with a seven car spin-out just after Turn One~ Although several cars came within inches of one another, no one crashed - from the pits it sort of looked like a slow motion ballet. Outside of that,, the biggent thing we had to worry about for the rest of the day was the increasing size of the chuck holes in Turn Eight and the decreasing size of the second chicane! When my turn came to go out for timed runs, I felt kind of like I had swallowed a wate~elon: I definitely did not want to do

Despite the fact that we almost got blown away as we tried to pack up Sunday afternoon (what would Willow be without the wind, anyway?!), and I had to clean dirt out of my ears and my camera for a week, and my sunburn peeled for at least two weeks, and the engine now definitely needs the rebuild -- Willow Springs has now burrowed its way into my psyche -- and more than that, I think I’ve finally contracted that weird disease known as "howfastcanIgoroundthisstupidcoursitis"!

The last thing Sunday night was two Porsches parked in front of the Chelsea Inn in Woodland Hills, with Chuck and Stanna and Ron and Carola inside drinking whisky sours - this was right after a quick, fun ride through Hidden Valley and past Lake Sherwood and exiting a crowded freeway in Oxnard. We last saw the Colwells in Solvang at a late lunch at the Four Flags, and they went to buy the kids ice cream and never caught up again. Saturday morning early we all met at the Sea Lion in Malibu and stopped for breakfast in Ventura at the Holiday Inn. Skirting Santa Barbara past the polo grounds, we hastened over San Marcos Pass and made it to Lompoc and north past Vandenberg to a pit stop at Maryann and John Larson’s new "Porschouse" in Santa Maria for cokes, beer and conversation. Next stop was the Blue Bird Motel in Cambria, just the perfect place to stay in the area. Ralph went immediately to the local saloon, looked inside, and it was so empty his eyesight echoed, so Eileen and friend and the Coopers and us all had a sandwich before leaving for the Castle. We arrived just in time to cover our cars and board the bus to take the tour - Dean said it was just the same as last time except for the damaged guest house. Del and Arda slept through most of the tour. The bus ride up and down the hill was the highlight. Anyway, the motel became the local saloon, as we poked fun at all the PCA members who weren’t there. Off to dinner at 9:00 at the Brambles, and then we slept the rest of the night.

I h~d swiIIo~ed~ite~el6h: i defihft~ly did hot Want to do this ridiculous thing! Some masochistic urge made me go ahead, though, and I’m sure I’ve never concentrated on anything so hard in my life " My face went into a permanently distorted position that I couldn’t change the whole time I was on the track. And when I pulled into the impound area, my body was shaking so much, I had to ask Paul to drive oi’ Blue back to the pits. I know this sounds more like a medieva! torture chamber than something a person would do for fun -- but for some bizarre reason it was a super feeling, and I’d do it again in a minute!
Sunday morning we lost Ralph at the wrong restaurant and never saw him again, but we ate at the Grey Fox and had a quiet ride through the wildflower road to Templeton with occasional stops for looking, smelling and just plain relaxing. Next stop was a picnic in Atascadero (yes, Virginia, there is a California Cantral Coast Region) for the local PCA monthly event. Great week-end and good friends - looking forward to the Auto Races in Monterey in August. Ron Ramage ~

Cooper said to me on the day before the concours, "Boy, I’m really worried about this event!" Well, Coop, that ain’t nothin’ like the day before a rallye! Everything’s gotta be perfect and if it isn’t, you might find yourself hanging from a local tree. My "SS" Rallye was really a Sunday Shortie for most; I guess Super Simple for almost no one. It was Somewhere South for the DNF’s and I guess OK for Doc Sam. Sorry to the entrants about that "Private Road" sign (honest, it wasn’t there the week before). Everything else seemed OK, and the fifteen or so who had dinner at the 94th Aerosquadron in Costa Mesa ended the day happily,

THE BOARD For those of you who missed it, the May Membership Meeting was absolutely fantastic. With eighty-two plus people, it was a little crowded, but the food at Bruno’s was great - PCA-LA really had a feast. Our guest speaker, Sam Wiell, former President of Porsche Pacific and VW Pacific, gave a great talk on the early days of Porsche in Southern California. It was a real pleasure to see so many new people and quite a few old friends we haven’t seen in a while. If we keep up with this kind of attendance, even our new meeting place, the California Yacht Club, may become too small. Wouldn’t that be something?! At the next Board Meeting, we will be finalizing the new LA Region logo. I think we will have something very distinctive and very Porsche. Another topic for discussion will be changing the Christmas Dance to a more informal, afternoon buffet party. Remember, the Board is always open for your suggestions for new events, changes in policy, anything. This is because we are ~ZZ members of PCA-LA. The summer months are upon us, and this has been the time when people have a tendency to forget about PCA. Your region is on the move, and needs your help to keep it that way! See you in June and July!

come a very serious problem. I’ve talked to four members in the last two months who have had their cars stolen, and none of them had an alarm. We also have a member who has had four attempted thefts on his car in the last several months. Although some minor damage was done, he still has his Porsche - thanks to the alarm system. Through personal experience I’ve had the opportunity to become familiar with some of the alarm systems currently available, and would be happy to pass on the information to anyone interested. ~ /~ F ~ _ ~ Membership Director
