r, res aent a rhetoric Last week’s t~me t~al at Las Vegas was a supe~ weekend for me. I had a great t~me doing the normal Porscherelated th~ngs -- caravann~ng, putting on race t~res and no~s~ exhaust, sp~nn~ng off the track and scaring
myself into a case of jellyleg-of-the-throttle-foot, BSing about the best way round that decreasing radius Turn 5. But that’s not really what made the weekend so special. And it wasn’t that we five -- Jan, Dave, Peter, Jack and I (Lee Burton and newly-acquired spouse weren’t seen too often) -- were all without our respective ladies. We went to some nice restaurants and even to a show where the performers didn’t wear their shirts. But that wasn’t the special part either. What did get to me was the feeling of camaraderie and mutual support that prevailed. In sharing the experience and, as it turned out, the hardship of this long weekend together, we learned more about each other and felt closer after hours of talk. Jack and Dave happily pitched in to get my boy’s racer ready for the track. And all the LA people were instrumental in helping Carl Young to run his event smoothly. After the event we helped each other to reassemble our cars for the street. And when both Jack’s car and Jan’s went on the blink, we elected to stick together for the long drive home. That may not sound particularly noble, but in the middle of the night in the middle of the desert, it’s kinda nice. So what I experienced was really the best of the Porsche Club: having fun in our cars and enjoying the fellowship of shared experience. And more importantly we’re all better friends.
~o ~he officers, ~t was obvious that Heinz had been gu~lt~ of speeding, and despite the efforts of several members to convince them otherwise, the~ ~ssued h~m a c~tat~on. The matter ~s not ended -- future dealings await ~n traffic cou~t -- but for now, HeSnz, please accept m~ apolog~es for PCA-LA.
P.S. Just received a letter from Chris Pook, head of the Long Beach Grand Prix Association. It is clear to me now that he and I had a very different notion of what we had all agreed to. I’m drafting a reply for the record, and expressing the hope that, before next year’s LBGP ’ we can be better organized ¯

BEVERLY HILLS, 90211
Stepping down to the next level of my variable-ratio, turbo-CIS soapbox, I want to mention a small but important point. Last month’s ski trip to Utah was a success, except for one glitch: one of the rooms we had reserved went unoccupied and the club had to swallow the $30 forfeiture. This unfortunate situation came about when a new member, who had tentatively agreed through tour leader Dave Stephens to join the
tour and reserve the room, lost contact.
Since Dave
didn’t or couldn’t call him back, the new member let the question ride til the weekend had come and gone. It was only after the fact that we got in touch with him and learned that he had indeed wanted to go with the group; he even offered to pay for the room. So because of faulty co~unication, the ski group was smaller, a new member missed a chance to make some new Porsche friends, and the club lost money. The lesson is simple: if you can’t get hold of one person, try someone else, anyone on the list of board members on the backside of this newsletter. If one of us doesn’t know the answer, someone else will. Finally, I must make an apology. It is ironic that just last month in this space we printed a very nice letter from Heinz Mikulka of Beverly P/A, in which he offered his dealership’s support for future PCA-LA activities. At last week’s membership meeting Heinz brought a white 928 for the club’s inspection and
general oohing and aahing.
On~ of our club members
took the car out for a "little test," thereby arousing the interest of a patrolling black and white. Problem was, by the time the officers caught up with the 928 back in the yacht club parking lot, our club member had exited the car and returned to the meeting. Heinz had slipped into the driver’s seat to park the car.
Last week we received a special request from John Hecklsmiller, vice president of Central Iowa Region. John told us about his young Porsche friend, 11 year old Mike Swanson. Mike is a Porsche enthusiast. and Mike has leukemia. As a means of encouraging Mike and to keep his determination strong against this dread disease, John is asking all PCAers to take a moment to do something nice for this young man: everyone of you has at least one photo of your car(s); it will take only a minute to write the model, the year, and your name and address on the back of the picture, drop it in an envelope and mail it to Michael Swanson c/o John Hecklsmiller 820 30th Street N.E.
Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52402 This is a small thing to ask, and it will mean a lot to Mike. Think how neat it would be if everyone of the 500 people this newsletter reaches mailed just one picture. DO IT NOW] Ann

As the first order of business, Peter asked for the board’s opinion on two Zone 8 proposals: a Zone 8 logo suitable for a car badge, and a Zone competition for Region of the Year. The board opposed both ideas, giving reasons of cost, practicality, and a desire to stem the tide of competition.

This is a note to those lucky people who got accepted to Parade. Even if you have already made reservations in Snowmass, there is still the matter of your first night’s lodging on the road. Dave Stephens has kindly made arrangements with Art Wallnas of the Swiss Village Motel in Parawan, Utah. This is where our group stayed for the ski trip earlier this year. Parawan just happens to be halfway between L.A. and Aspen and makes a perfect stopping point. The motel is located just off the highway; it’s very nice and has ~ fine restaurant for dinner.
The meeting opened a little after 8 PM with.the introduction of new and old members and guests. Ann awarded two Dennis Merritt posters to the winners of last month’s Puzzler, Mac McKee and Ben Adauto. Dave Stephens and Ursula gave us the latest scoop on Parade arrangements, and Jan listed the upcoming events. The Goody Store auctioned off "an original, unused 914 footstool"! (We still don’t know what Bill Corwin intends to do with it) On a serious note, Sam asked all present to try to send at least one picture of their cars to the young boy in
Iowa (see PLEASE HELP under Rhetoric). The tech quiz turned out to be harder than expected. Chris Florin got the best score for men, and Joanne Salzmann outdid the other ladies. Joanne and Heinz Mikulka of Beverly P/A brought a 928 for our inspection. And we ended the evening with some slides from our recent LAPD slalom. Nancy ~~)t~ ¯

;-lOl r Ursula has just received the other half of our order of local badges , along with notification from the factory in Taiwan that, from now on, they will only be able to accept very large orders, such as the national badges. The badges are expensive to produce, and small orders of a few hundred (like ours) are not economical for the factory. All this means that, once this batch of local badges is sold, there won’t be any more. At least not at $I0 apiece. We may be able to find another factory to turn them out, but they will cost members-a lot more. So if you haven’t bought a local badge yet, get on it! Don’t wait til it’s too late.
CONCOURS
CRISIS
What we have on our hands is a crisis of disinterest. Although LA Region has a number of members who are active and successful in concours events, we seem unable to find a single member who is willing or able to chair such an event. This unfortunate fact has led us to once again postpone our Zone 8 Concours. Maybe it’s time to listen to the membership, to find out if anyone even cares. The board feels that LA Region has some responsibility to the Zone to put on a certain number of events each year. For several years our Santa Anita concours has been a wellattended and respected event. This year, in response to complaints from participants that Santa Anita was getting to be a hassle with all the non-Porsche people around, we decided to seek an alternate site. Now, three months into the year, we still have not come up with a suitable site, one that is appropriate for a Zone 8 event. Putting on a successful concours takes a lot of time and energy. It would be impossible for a firsttimer to do it alone, and most of our former chairmen simply do not have the time this year. What do you think? Are you interested? Do you care? Would it break your heart if LA Region did not put on a Zone 8 concours at all this year? And if you do care, then where do we find a chairman and a site? Your board is unwilling to go ahead with a concours unless we know it’s going to be done right. A poorly run event is worse than none at all.

BOARD
The meeting this month will be held at Jan Winthrop’s home, 5430 Garford in Long Beach. Call Jan for directions (213) 839-4574. Meeting will start at 7:30 PM.
TECH SESSION
Judd Boykin has arranged a tech session this month at SELF FIX, 8810 Washington Blvd. in Culver City. SELF FIX is a do-it-yourself repair shop, specializing in foreign cars and metric tools. Club members who are professional mechanics will discuss with us how ~o perform a basic tune-up, and will be available to answer questions about other repair problems you may have.

ECONOMY RUN
We’ll rendezvous at REDLINE PORSCHE SERVICE, 720 Colorado Avenue (one block west of Lincoln) in Santa Monica at 9 AM. Tour will begin about 10 AM. Unlike a rally, you know where you’re going on an economy run; the point is to predict (guess?) the mileage your car will deliver over a specified route. Event chaiman Dave Stephens promises scenic roads, and we’re trying to arrange a stop-off at either the Briggs Cunningham Museum in Costa Mesa, or the Nethercott collection of historic cars near Saugus. In any case, our tour will finish in early afternoon. For more info, call Dave (213) 540-9612.

Chuck Cooper teamed up in a Speedster to work on
their suntans. Jack DiRosario drove for Kathy LeFlang, who reported that he did not yell at her once. Sam ’n Ann tried another method to avoid the inevitable battle: Ann worked the course and Sam drove and navigated (now he’ll have to admit that he really needs a navigator). Dave Stephens tried to
explain to driver Carola Anderson that the point of rallying was to pay attention and concentrate; she thought the point was to have a good time. Three drivers brought their kids for navigators: L.J. Warner proved that his son Scott really can read; Meg Janes insisted her team would have done better if only her father had listened to her; and Laureen Mitchell had a terrific navigator in Alberto Garcia, if only she had stayed on course. Jim Lawrence and Anne Rocap discovered that PCA rallys can be fun. John Williamson and Lynne Smith went out as the last car to sweep the course and ended up following a 914 that was only on its way to the grocery store, Forty-five miles and one hour and forty minutes after the start, all entrants arrived safe and sound at the Straw Hat Pizza Parlour in Reseda. For once we had a rally that ended with no unhappy people. Winners and ~os~s a~ike ba~ a goo~ time, and everybody stayed around for pizza and Porsche talk. We were delighted to see so many new faces and hope they’ll come back for our next "Sunday" Shorty, which we’re trying to organize for May or June. John LeFlano did a terrific job on this one, but he can’t be expected to chair every rally. Anybody interested?

time trial
The overall score was a little like the good-newsbad-news joke: six PCA-LAers at the first Zone 8 time trial of the year in Las Vegas, three trophies bagged and three cars dead! The trip to Vegas was uneventful enough. Jan and Peter’s CB units provided a measure of security that allowed us to reach the Nellis Motor Inn in 4 hours! Peter had said he would take it easy, but a certain Germanic harmony between him and his nice yellow
beer at Friday night’s pretech) was Speedrome~ Las Vegas’ claim to auto racing fame. It ain’t much to brag about.
Set in the midst of a rock-strewn
desert, the course is a flat, sinuous, deceptive 1.7 miles. With only seven turns, it seems easy enough to learn the way around, but after you spin off into the rocky desert a few times, you give it a little more respect. Saturday morning our contingent was full strength as Dave Viancour, Jack DiRosario and Lee Burton joined us. And the first little "black cloud" appeared: Jack’s 74 Carrera Targa had died just outside L.V. It later proved to be a fuel pump, but Jack was out of commission for the whole weekend, The time trials went splendidly for us o- Peter, Jan and I all won our respective (though small) classes, But for me, the highlight of the weekend came on Sunday mornin~ when I took a ride with Mike Hammond. Because of his consistent ability to beat his competition by 5-10 seconds, there’s been a lot of talk about Mike having all sorts of illegal mods in his trusty 67 S (especially from the San Diego Zone 8ers who know they have "special" cars and still can’t stay with him). I found out firsthand that Mike’s success is due to nothing more than a near perfect embodiment of the classic rule~ of fast driving: consistency of line, smoothness of transitions, easy and rhythmical shifting and braking. To be sure, Mike’s 20+ years of competitive driving give him a lot more seat-of-the-pants skill than the rest of us have, but it’s clear that it’s not a cheater motor or 9000 rpm shifts, or extra sticky tires that have gotten Mike all those Zone 8 trophies.
his 73 911Tmotor had just died. Who says bad luck doesn’t come in threes? Anyway, thanks to Carl Young for a super event. Sam LAS VEGAS TIME TRIAL WINNERS

A kite contest was held in a neighborhood, and any child could enter as long as he made his own kite and decorated it with a drawing of his favorite Porsche. Prizes were awarded for the most original, most colorful, the largest, the smallest, and the kite that flew the highest. Fred, Gail, Herman, Irene and Johnny were the winners. Using the following clues, determine each child’s last name (Austin, Barton, Carson, Drake, or Eden), his grade in school, the Porsche model each chose for his kite, and the category for which each won a prize. 1. The Austin’s live next door to Irene’s parents. 2. Fred and the child with the Turbo kite and the Drake girl are in the fifth grade. The child who won for the most original design and the child with the Speedster kite are in the fourth grade. 3. The Edens live between the houses of Fred’s parents and the parents of the child with the 914 kite. 4. Gail lives next door to the child with the Speedster kite. 5. Herman and the Eden boy, along with the boy who won for the most colorful Rite, worked together on their kites. The girl who had the 928 kite worked with the girl who won for the smallest kite. 6. The Bartons live across the street from the child with the 904 kite, and next door to the boy who had the largest kite. Send your solution to EDITOR, 6943 Grand Manan Drive, Cypress 90630.
