minutes BOARD MEETING - JUNE 9, 1976 Hos~ - Ron Ramage Attendance - Five Board Members and one guest Board Chairman Ron Ramage called the meeting to order at 8:30 after a quorum had arrived. After explaining several board absences, reports began. Membership: Bob reported that only about 15% of the newsletters went through; almost 400 newsletters had been returned to him by the Post Office for insufficient postage. (The problem turned out to be the one page flyer for Riverside -- an amazingly light "straw that broke the camel’s back." Lesson for future editors: the diet scale in your kitchen is not accepted by the U.S. Postal Service as an accurate weighing device ... no wonder my engine never seemed balanced ... spaghetti on the piston ... muse, muse, muse. Ed.) He mentioned that drop notices had decreased and that our membership was 415. He suggested posting a sign at the old meeting place that would give directions to the new meeting place. He also reported that the infamous purple tie had been ripped off at the last membership meeting.

HISTORY IN THE ~AKING , , .
.....
The third annual Historic Auto Race will soon be history in itself. If you’ve been fortunate enough to have visited one of these in the past, you will know of the nostalgia that roams through the pit and paddock area. But here is how the Porsche People are gonna do it this year. We plan to leave So. Cal. on Thursday morning, August 25, from North Hollywood, and take an ever so leisurely drive (short, quick spurts) to Carmel that day. A dinner is planned in the hotel room in Carmel. If you think that first day is low pressure, the next day’s gonna be motionless -- sunning, shopping, washing cars, funning around in Carmel and Monterey. Saturday morning we’re heading for the Laguna Seca Racetrack, where Steven Earle, event chairman and historic car buff, has allowed us Porsche Private Parking near the pits. We plan to have a hospitality table and the PCA banner there. The whole day will be full of viewing the old beauties -- Bugattis, Porsches, Ferraris, Porsches, Cad Allerds, (actually not many Porsches), and the cars are beautiful! Sunday morning early we’ll take off for the Pebble Beach Concours at the Del Monte Lodge on the 17 Mile Drive in Monterey. A box lunch from the concours will get us by for the day until dinner which we’ll catch enroute home. If yo~ can join us . . do! Call Ron Ramage at (213) 461-3144.

Vern Covert of Porschop has lined up a great speaker for our October 21st Membership Meeting -- Allen Stupplebeen of Mobil Oil. Allen, a research chemist whose travels take him all over the United States, will give a full presentation of the new Mobil lubricating oil -- a synthetic "super oil" that actually adds horsepower and can handle temperatures up to 500°. This will include a 12-minute color film, a slide presentation, and question and answer session. With a price to match its performance, Vern ensures me that he will be primed with questions about this new oil. This should be one of the best technically oriented meetings in years -- it’ll pay you to be there!
If you have been involved in PCA-LA for any or all of the past ten years, you are probably aware that the name PORSCHOP stands for dedication to technical excellence and integrity in al!~phas~s .05[,~rvice and repair. You may not

These days merely owning a Porsche can be a real challenge -especially to the owner who dreads someone ripping off his or her pride and joy. Myself a theft victim, I became interested in the steps the police take to recover stolen vehicles and apprehend the criminals " An officer I met through my unfortunate experience provided the following insights. I hope it gives you an idea of what’s being done behind the scenes. Beginning with the theft of a 1974 911S Targa on February 16 there were 20 a~tempted Porschenappings by one ring operating for 6 months along Orange County’s south coastal area. Nineteen of these thefts were successful! It took a major effort by the Orange County Sheriff’ s Department -- assisted by the CHP, National Auto Theft Bureau, and the city police departments from Newport Beach, Laguna and San Clemente -- to arrest two major suspects and recover several cars, numerous parts, etc. early this month in Dana Point. An early lead was found when the suspects, Mike Mahboub, 29, of San Bernardino and Ronald Young (AKA Robert Conrad), 30, of San Clemente were observed dumping a broken Porsche windshield behind a San Juan market on the night of April 27. Soon after, the Sheriff’s Department was able to develop a pattern to the previous thefts. In cooperation with the Newport Beach Police, stakeouts were placed at various restaurants in the area. A "bait" vehicle, equipped with a homing device, was used and locations were designed to cover the times and days when the thieves were thought likely to strike again. And the thieves did strike again and again as anticipated -- but always waiting until surveillance had been discontinued. An expanded effort was undertaken based on publicizing the ring’s method of operation to all patrol units from Newport Beach to San Clemente. Surveillance was maintained on suspect Young’s house in San Clemente. Finally, on May 5, both suepects were observed transferring objects from one vehicle to another, eventually unloading them at an address in Dana Point. These objects were later identified as tires, wheels, radios, seats, and other Porsche items. The wheels were matched by the Sheriff’s lab to a Porsche originally stolen from the San Diego area, which had been recovered a short distance from Young’s address in San Clemente. Mahboub was then followed by Sheriff’s investigators to San Bernardino, where he was arrested by the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department. Young was arrested in Los Angeles and returned to Orange County. Search warrants were obtained for the San Clemente address. Property was picked up there and at Dana Point. This included considerable parts and personal property traced to three stolen Porsches, as well as from an automobile repair garage in San Clemente. TWO more suspects are still under investigation by the Sheriff’s
Orange Coast Region
Two more suspects are still under investigation by the Sheriff’s
Department, but no further arrests have been made. Some of-the stolen parts have been traced to two Los Angeles area Porsche garages, as well as to body shops and individuals. Recent efforts have been directed toward getting property identified, witnesses located, and evidence gathered for presentation to the District Attorney’s offices. As a result, the Grand Jury recently handed down two indictments. It looks like the a= of the law is beginning to come down.

~~ avOCadO zone If you thought you had enough of orange groves in Santa Barbara, let us tell you about THE GREAT AVOCADO ADVENTURE that San Diego Region dreamed up for the third Zone 8 Rally. The rally began at the Royal Inn in Oceanside, just off the San Diego Freeway. At least the starting point was easy to find; not much else on the rally was. The instructions looked simple enough, but executing them was another matter. Slipped in among a multitude of speed changes (which gave us SOP’ers apoplexy) were some sneaky test of our knowledge of the’rally rules: what exactly is "the most straight-forward direction" and what about landmarks on the left-hand side of the road? Although the pace of the rally was for the most part leisurely, there were a few tire-spealing instructions that caused some of the residents of Vista to take exception to "those funny little foreign cars" racing through their neighborhood. Thanks to an understanding CHP, we got through that leg without incident. (And I got through the next leg, thanks to some delicious tollhouse cookies from a generous checkpoint worker). The six legs of the rally took us (most of us) through some pretty countryside around Vista and the Pauma Valley, but we could have done without that smelly chicken ranch! There were also some agonizing stretches where we drove for miles without seeing another Porsche ("Are you sure we’re going the right way?")! The rally ended 103 miles and 4 hours after the start, back at the Royal ~nn, where we relaxed at a poolside barbecue and tried to figure out where we had gone wrong. Anticipating the worst, we left before all the time cards had been checked. After seeing the results, though, I guess it could have been worse. Although LA Region might not have been spectacular on July 17, diehards that we are, we’ll probably all be back again for the next Zone 8 Rally in Orange Coast. See you there . . Ann ’n Sam Wang And here are those "Great Avocado Adventure" results. Since we don’t have room to list all 39 entrants in the SOP class, we’ve listed the top 10 and any other LA’ers who were entered. ~DR~VER/NAVIGATOR

THE BOARD
You’ve heard the old "good luck" adage for weddings -- well, this month it seems to apply to PCA-LA~ Something Old -- Back to SCCYC. Our membership meetings will return to South Coast Corinthian Yacht Club this month. See you there on the 19th for the hot dog cook-out. Somethinq New -- I am proud to announce that Pete Zimmerman will take over as Tech Chairman for the remainder of 1976. Pete is already busy lining up a chalk talk on Riverside Raceway for August’s tech meeting, and those of you planning to participate at our Zone 8 Time Trial in September should try to attend. Something Borrowed -- PCA-LA is "borrowing" Riverside International Raceway for two days in September. Sam Wang, our event chairman, has a lot of great things lined up, particularly lots of track time. Make your reservations now and avoid the rush. Something Blue -- The PCA "blue mood" at the PCA-POC Challenge Cup Slalom is getting pretty old, and it’s about time PCA really put out. A lot more PCA cars than POC cars at the LAPD Pursuit Course in San Pedro would sure be nice to see. It would be even better to see more PCA firsts. If we all try, maybe we can beat the "other" club at its own game. ¯~
