~
l~th Porsche Parade, June 24 through 28, 1969, in Anaheim, California. The location for the Parade is also the center for some of the most interesting vacation sites in America. To mention a few: Briggs Cunningham Automotive lquseum, Disneyland, Angel S~dium, Kuotts Berry Farm, Fashion Island, Marineland-of-thePacific, ~4ovieland @ax ~4useum, and on, and on, and on!
All events are within a 5 to 20 minute drive from Parade Headquarters, and all motels are not more than a 5 minute walk from the Anaheim Convention Center. The events have been planned to give you plenty of time for socializing, and free time to visit some of our famous attractions. Because of the popularity of this area, we have a limited number of rooms set aside at rates of from $16.00 to $22.00 (double occupancy), so get your registration in early. First come, first served. Registrations received before April I, 1969, will have choice of car number, if available. The theme of the 14th Porsche Parade is "A Spanish Fiesta", but you need not dress accordingly. Wear summer sports clothes, but don’t forget something warmer for the evenings. Our climate is pleasant, with the days in the low eighties, and the nights in the fifties. We will start, on Tuesday, June 24, with the Concours d’Elegance, and opening banquet. Wednesday will see the Rallye and fiesta luncheon, with the evening free.. On Thursday and Friday will be held the Autocross and Driving School,
at Orange
County International Raceway, running concurrently with the Gymkhana at Brlggs Cunnlngham Automotive Museum. Thursday evening you will be busy enjoying a bar-l>que on the Irvine Ranch, while Friday evening will be free. Finally, on Saturday we’ll have the Tech Session and Quiz, followed, in the evening, by the Victory banquet. All of the cocktail parties are hosted, except for the no-host blast for early arrivals at headquarters, the Holiday Inn, in Anaheim. We have estimated that a couple should spend no more than $215.00 for registration, meals (including banquets), and lodging for the five days. If you would care to double up with another Porsche couple, you can shave that figure by about $30.00. We can assure the ladies an enjoyable time at the 14th Porsche Parade, for we will arrange bus transportation to some of the most interesting shopping areas in the world, with plenty of time for you to browze to your heart’s content. We hope to see all of you at the 14th Porsche Parade. Hasta

FOR RELEASE: IMMEDIATELY
PRIVATE ENTRIES SALVAGE HONORS FOR PORSCHE AT DAYTONA; MONTE CARLO RALLYE IS WON FOR SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR Five privately-entered Porsche 911s finished in the top ten in the 24 Hours of Daytona road race, Feb. i and 2, Daytona Beach, Fla. as the five factory 908 long-tailed prototypes all failed to finish.
In Europe, Porsche 911s were 1-2 in the Monte Carlo Rallye as the
new factory team of Bjorn Waldegard and Lars Heln~r won and the French duo of Gerhard Larousse and Jean-Claude Perramond were second. At Daytona, Porsche took two class wins.
The Porsche of An~rica Racing Team car,
sponsored by the eastern distributor, was fourth overall and first in Grand Touring as Bruce Jennings, Towson, Hd. ; Tony Adamowicz, Wilton, Conn. ; and Herb Wetson, Valley Stream, N.Y. drove a 911 with an engine fitted with some Carrera components. (2221.23 miles) at 92.55 m.p.h.
They covered 583 laps
In fifth overall and first a~ng Touring cars under two-
liters was the 911 of Bert Everett, Doylestown, Pa. and Alan Johnson, Corona del Mar, Cal.
~hey were two laps behind the P.A.R.T. entry. The 911 of HaroldWilliamson, Tampa, Fla. and George Drolsom, Jacksonville, Fla. was
eighth; the 911 Grand Touter of Jacques Duvall and George Nichols, both of Verdun, Quebec, was ninth; and the 911 Grand Touter of Andre Wicky, Switzerland and Sylvain Garant, France, tenth.
Four more Porsches were among the 29 finishers.
Midnight was the witching hour for the factory cars.
Sixty-four cars started the race. At 12:15 A.M., nine hours seven
minutes after the race began, the three-liter 908 of Vic Elford and.Brian Redman suffered an oil leak causing the engine to seize.
Fifteen minutes later, while they were in the
lead, the Joe Buzzetta-Dick Attwood car’s camshaft broke. ’l~e last three cars went out with the identical problem: the four-inch intermediate shaft ,~=~1:,~.e!.t~ng the camshaft and the crankshaft broke, about five hours.
Replacing it would have taken
At 2:50 A.M. with the race Ii hours 42 minutes gone, the Rolf Ston~nelen-
Kurt Ahrens car was out; at 5:20 A.M., after 12 hours 12 minutes, Hans Herrmann and Jo
Siffert were done; and at 7:50 A.M., leading by some 40 laps with about eight hours to go, the Gerhard Mitter-Udo Schutz car was out. During the race, all but one prototype had to have their exhaust manifolds replaced. The part was a tested design but from a new batch produced by the supplier.
probably from vibration, allowing fumes to seep into the cockpits.
They cracked,
Mitter became so ill
he had to be revived at the hospital. The 908’s filled seven of the first nine starting positions, making them the fastest cars in the race.
Elford-Redman qualified at 123.345 m.p.h, over the 3.81-mile course,
setting a new qualifying record. The winning Lola-Chevrolet, driven by Mark Donohue and Chuck Parsons, made 26 pit stops and was off the course more than two hours for repairs.
Its winning speed of 99.26
m.p.h, was the slowest in the five runnings of the 24 Hours.
The car was powered by a
305 c.i. (five liters) Chevrolet built by Traco Engineering.
It produces 465 h.p.
The
908’s have 183 cubic inch engines turning out 330 h.p. Next U.S. start for the factory team is the Sebring, Fla. 12 Hours o~ March 22. new 908 Spyder is expected to race.
The
Based on the open-top three-llter hill ¢li,,h car, the
Spyder weighs about 1400 Ibs., one hundred less thma the Daytona 90g’e.
T~etr virtues
include compactness, better driver visibility, better handling on wet p~vement, mad the open top.
The same drivers are expected to pilot the factory entries.
