Th~s week a PCA member from ~acramento wrote to u~, asking for info on PCA-LA wrsu~ PCA-San Gabriel to help him decide which club to transfer to. Our reply may have been rather more philosophical and selfcritical than he wanted to hear. It went something like this: LA Region is the 5th largest PCA region in the country, with nearly 500 members, but less than 20% are at all active. A sense of dissatisfaction with this largely inactive body of faceless names, and a desire to recreate the spontaneous enthusiasm of a new young club, led to the formation of the San Gabriel Region a few years ago. They have put on several low-key events, with few of the big

Zone 8 production numbers, and are one of the fastest growing regions in the country. This growth may be a mixed blessing, because the more members they attract, the more deadwood they are likely to incur.

And then you’re back to LA Region again -- too big a club with too few participants. (Boy are we hard on 0urselves~).

Last weekend we particpated in LA’s Economy Run-Deli

Luncheon-Antique Auto Tour. We had a super time; every aspect of the day was ideal: brilliant sunny weather for the scenic drive, great kosher food at Nail’s Place in the Valley, and Mr. Bothwell’s collection of scores of historic racers and luxury automobiles was impressive and fascinating. It was particularly ~ratifying to have so many new club members participating. We all went home with a warm and happy feeling that we had shared a day of fun an~ fellow~hip in our P~r~he~.

It was only later that I stopped to consider how the day m#ght ~ave ~een even better. I was sorry that more people hadn’t had a chance to share in the really d~lightful few hour~ we had just ~pent. I thought of literally dozens of PCA friends and acquaintances that I wished I had seen. It was that kind of event -- no hassle, no real competition, just gag prizes, truly pleasant company, and neat cars to look at. It was too bad so many people missed it (maybe the rainy Saturday held some of you back). It was an event that got us back to older, simpler goals of PCA -- good fun with new and old friends in our favorite cars -- as opposed to the t~n~e, ~elfi~hly competitive ewnt~ that recent years of Zone 8 have spawned. Well, enough of this.

I just wanted to say "Wish you were there!"

On a completely different tack, let me mention a couple of Zone 8 matters. (If I sound a little schizophrenic, yearning for the simpler values of the old PCA, and then~upporting and participating im Zon~ 8 events, I’m just a Porsche freak who can’t get enough). Zone 8 T~me Trial Chairman Carl Young ha~ several suggestion~ regarding th~ classification of cars in our time trial ser~es. There are currently almost 40 classes; at any given event, many of these cla~ have only one or two cars entered. In ~be interests of greater competition and greater economy, Carl has suggested some sweeping revisions in the classifications -- some I like and some I question.

In any Ga~e~ though, th~e ~uggestions are for the consideration and comment of all before they are put to a vote for next year’s Zone 8 rags. If you would like to hav~ ~ome ~ay ~n th~ proposed changes, contact me for full partiGulars.

~~~)~~~~/ ~_~ As an economy run, it wasn’t much. The whole route was only 37 miles (shortened due to the threat of rain and mudslides along the coast). But as a nice way to spend a couple of hour~ in our ear~, and a long-wayround to a car collection, it was neat. Eleven cars (including Sue Becker who had to hurry to catch us) started from Santa Monica. Ron Ramage and Chris Gibbs brought Dustin Hoffman’s 912E (which ~as a big ding in the driver door, tsk, tsk); Alan and Pam Hall were the hit of the day in their silver Spyder (that scraping sound you heard was only the license plate); Sara and Jerry P~nnin~ton dashed in, fresh from another commuter run to Houston; Howard Levin brought his newly-acquired 73 T; Steve Lui brought hi~ newlyacquired golden retriever; Alan Shoemak~r’~ 2.7 CIS engine (in a 914-6) didn’t help his mileage at all; and new member John Clark drove his "Turbo" Honda (on the next economy run, no Civics allowed -- their mileage is positively embarrassing:). Stalwart~ Bill LeFlang and son Dave, Carola Anderson and Dave ~tephen~, and the Wangs rounded out the caravan.

We toured through Brentwood and eel-Air on 3unset, then crossed over the hill to Mulholland, turned west, with a couple of side trips, and finally through some scenic neighborhoods, before coming to the end in the west Valley. The results below show that most of us don’t know our cars very well. And coming ~Ie~ ~e ~h~ :G~ual mileag~ wi~h our e~timate~ proved to be pure luck: Howard Levin, who won with the closes~ 9uess~ had only filled before Sunday. Ron Ramage and Sam ~ied for the worst mileage overall (just rotten luGk). (continuea in:i~ ..... )

BOARD MEETING - 12 April 78 Host: Jan Winthrop Attendance: Peter Luelsdorf, plus some Board members Short meeting this month. Ursula reported that we sent a region badge and T-shirt to Mike Swanson, the young boy from Iowa we wrote about in last month’s newsletter. We discussed upcoming activities, including the LAPD slalom on 14 May. It was suggested that Sam present one of our new club badges to the Porsche factory representative at Parade.

MEMBERSHIP MEETING - 19 April 78 Dave Stephens started the meeting with a report on our economy run and announced that, for our dinner meeting May 18, we’ll show the next two films in the History of Auto Racing series that we started in January. Jan Winthrop discussed upcoming events, and Ursula reminded Parade goers to notify her if they need reservations on the road to Aspen. Carola introduced new members and guests, including Jack and Dina Ogden from Santa Barbara Region. Jerry Pennington told us about his visit to the Lone Star Region in Texas -- he and Sara were warmly received as guests. After a brief break, our speaker for the evening was Wayne Van Wagoner, an investigative accident consultant from Salt Lake City. Wayne discussed the wide variety of causes of accidents and injuries, and some of the improvements in highway construction and in automobiles -- better windshield composition, seat belts, and steering columns. His slides showed some grim examples of highway conditions that actually aggravated accident situations rather than preventing them. We adjourned the meeting about 10:30 and drove home .very carefully.

We drowned our sorrows at a local-de11 and then proceeded a few blocks down Ventura Blvd. to the Bothwell Car Collection. What a treat. None of us knew what to expect, although we had heard that it would be impressive. Lind]ey Bothwell and hiswife live amid 20 acres of orange groves, and scattered around the property in sheds are some of the nearest cars (and trains) you could ever feast your eyes and imaginations on. All the cars are original and unrestored, and they are packed together so you sometimes have to climb over one to get to the next. We admired early ]900 touring cars, a Baker electric, a Ford filreengine and a three-wheeler Morgan, a ~905 Reo with a foldaway "mother-in-law" seat, and a group of Cadillac racers from the turn.of the century.

There was a 1911 Rolls built for Czar Nicholas of Russia at a cost of $20,000, and an $18,000 Daimler for King George V. Two of the prizes in the collection are a Mercedes touring car that is one of two left in the world (the Mercedes museum in Stuttgart doesn’t have either one), and a 1913 Peugeot that was driven by Lindley Bothwell himself to break the Indy speed record in 1949 at 135 mph~ Before we left, we were able to chat with Mr. Bothwell about his experiences as a collector. His family had d~sapproved of his buying automobiles; they thought it was crazy to inve~t good money in "toys" -- better to ~pend it on a horse-drawn carriage. So each time Lindley bought another car, he bought a horse-drawn vehicle too. He hid the cars in the orange groves. (I’m glad we don’t live in an orange grove; I’d never be able to keep count~). We said our thank-yous, and as Mr. Bothwell locked up the last of the sheds and we drove away, the first drops of rain began to fall. Good timing. Good day.

Zone 8 bulletin

The following are excerpts from Burr Misevic’s monthly bulletin to the regions: New Region. Nothing has been heard from the group in Long Beach about the formation of a new region; their proposal to PCA-National was to be submitted in April.

Zone 8 Emblem. We have the promise of one entry; remaifling support for this idea was ni1. (PCA-LA vetoed the idea).

Orange Coast Weekender ~979. This event ~ill be held next year on May 26,27, and 28 at the Sou~h Coast Plaza. Plans include a dinner and harbor cruise.

Golden 6a~e Survey.

The 6olden 6ate Region is evalu-

ating their election specific officers or A survey of the Zone Orange Coast and San

procedure in tems of electing electing general board members.

8 regions showed that all except Diego elect specific officers.

Time Trial Protest Activity. Two items are under consideration now: the number of cars in a class to qualify for a trophy has been challenged and a ruling will be made; and a car competed in GT class with the hydropneumatic suspension removed an~ proper reclassification is being considered.

Arizona Time Trial Date. The cancelled Arizona Time Trial has now been scheduled for October 14-15, 1978.

Zone 8 Rall~ Rules Meeting. The meeting will be held Saturday, October 21, following the Las Vegas Region Zone 8 Rally.

Arizona Zone 8 Concours. The concours will be held at the Hotel Fiesta Inn in Tempe, and Arizona is planning either a group banquet Saturday night or a breakfast Sunday morning.

¯ ¯ ¯ Tag Lady Sara Pennington is on the prowl again, looking for members without name tags; it’s good to see so many people wearing them to events and meetings (maybe the Board will even remember theirs); tags are only $3; see Sara at meetings .... what a treat it was to see Sue Sullivan in her shiny red 356 in rush hour traffic on the San Diego Fwy (how was the snow?) .... Jerry Pennington’s commuting is finally getting to him -- he nodded off during the meeting last week; it’s OK, we won’t take it personally.

Tire T=lk

(The following article was written by Bob McClurg of Northern New Jersey Region) Regardless of whether you’re using racing tires or street tires, and whether you’re driving on a race track or around town, there is one simple fact you should remember: your tires are the only contact you have with Mother Earth. The importance of tires to your well-being should make you concerned about their well -being.

Racing tires are substantially different from DOTapproved street tires in construction and they are more severely affected by such things as weather, age and temperature. To minimize deterioration with age, tires should be stored in a cool, dry place (60-70 degrees F), with no exposure to direct sunlight.

Nylon reinforcement in the carcass of racing tires makes them susceptible to "flat spots" which can, in turn, lead to rapid uneven wear and some very annoying vibrations. Flat spots tend to work out of a tire as it rolls and warms up, but they develop most easily when the car is left parked for several hours on tires that were "hot."

The mention of uneven or excessive wear brings to mind the importance of "scuffing-in" race tires and rotating tires. "Scuffing-in" a race tire for several relatively slow laps allows it to wear or contour to the camber angle at which it is running, in much the same way that several hundred miles of wear on a street tire contour it so the full tread width makes uniform contact with the road surface, Once contoured to a particular wheel lcaP/~u~pension setting combination, a tire should not be used elsewhere (without complete recontouring). Further, many rain t~res are designed with a preferred direction of rotation; that is ’ they are better suited for transmitting a braking or driving torque in one direction than in the other direction. As you can see, it is advisable to mark any wheel and tire (especially race tires) when removing it from the car to identify the corner of the car it should be refi tted to.

Racing .tires have very little rubber covering the sidewalls, which makes the sidewall porous and more vulnerable to physical damage. Because these tires are tubeless, air seeps out in a matter of weeks or even hours; but the tires should never be overinflated before storing to compensate for this leakage. And while we’re on the subject of storing tires, remember that fuel, grease, oil, or any petroleum derivative will damage the rubber compounds used in tires.

Did you know that the centrifugal force generated by speeds over 120 mph and rough road surfaces can overcome the strength of the spring in the valve stem, letting air escape?

Did you know you can safely put an inner-tube into a "tubeless" tire, provided that the sidewall is "awlvented" before the tube in installed? This awl-venting or perforation should only be done by a qualified tire distributor; it prevents air from being trapped between the tire and the tube. This trapped air can cause wheel bal ance probl ems; even worse, i t coul d cause the tube to develop a fold or crease which leads to overheating and bursting of the tube.

Did you know that the minimum cold inflation pressure of a typical race tire is approximately 15 psi?

Did you know that Silicone should not be used as a

lubricant for mounting tires which are going to experience "high performance" use, because it leaves a slippery thin film which allows the tire to slip or twist relative to the wheel during hard braking or acceleration? Your favorite body soap makes a good mounting lubricant.

Fred Carson 904 colorful 5th grade John Eden Speedster highest 4th grade Gail Drake 914 smallest 5th grade Irene Barton 928 original 4th grade Herman Austin Turbo largest 5th grade The easiest clue to start with is that Johnny is the Eden boy (clue 5 says it’s not Herman, and clue 3 says it’s not Fred). The Edens live between Fred and the 914 kite maker. Clue 5 gives Fred the most colorful kite, and using clues 2,3, and 5, you can conclude his was the 904 design. Clue 6 puts the Bartons across the street and next door to Herman, who had the largest kite. Process of elimination makes Herman the Austin child, next door to Irene Barton, and the Drake child is Gail. Fred has to be a Carson (it’s the only name left). Clue 4 gives the Speedster kite to John.

If Gail did the 914 kite, Irene must have done the 928 (clue 5). Gail therefore had the smallest kite, and the Turbo kite is left to Herman. Clue 2 gives you all the rest of the info you need. Hope you had fun with this one. JoAnn Koplin, Buddy Epstein, and Sue Foreman sent in correct solutions.
