n tes... If you read this column last month and the stuff about the new member-at-large positions on the board didn’t make much sense to you, take heart: this month the board came to the same conclusion. So forget what you read. Here’s the scoop.: the board will consist of the usual eight elected positions, plus five members-atlarge appointed by the board from a list of nominees. These five will be non-voting positions. It will be up to the Activities Chmn. to appoint from these membersat-large chairmen for speed events, social events, etc., as he sees fit. That makes a lot more sense. Several people have already offered themselves as candidates for the member-at-large positions; on the ballot there is a place for voters to write in other nominations. Despite the fact that there is little competition for board positions this year, we thought you’d like to know a little about the people you’re voting for ....... JOHN WILLIAMSON is something of a Porsche Club institution; although he joined PCA in 1965, he grew up with Porsches; he’s truly an all-around enthusiast, participating and winning in concours events, rallies, and speed events on the local, Zone 8, and national levels; he’s done just about everything except serve as president of the club; as the owner of The Porscha Place in the Marina, he’ll finally get his chance ...... BILL BOHN, this year’s V.Po, joined PCA in 1974; his first car was a 1962 356B coupe, and he presently owns a 1970 911T which he time trials; Bill says he’s enjoyed working as VoPo this year and would like to serve again next year to carry through on some new ideas for meetings and entertainment ............................ JUDD BOYKIN has been a member of PCA~LA since 1974; his main interest is in time trialing, and he considers himself a founding member of the Monkeyface Raceteam; he has served in previous years as V.P. and Tech Chmn; he’s running for V.P. this year because he’s "fed up."
(continued)
PETE ZIMMERMANN, owner of Redline Independent Porsche Service in Santa Monica, is a longtime PCA member; his first Porsche was a 1964SC that he bought in 1967; since then he’s owned one other ’64 SC, two ’58 Speedsters and one ’57, a ’59 356A, a ’65 911, a ’66 911, and presently a 914-6 referred to fondly as "Baby;" Pete’s main interest is in time-trialing and he’s won many Zone awards; he has previously served as Tech Chairman, and he’s been a member-at-large this year ..... JERRY PENNINGTON thinks he’ll make a good treasurer next year because he can keep his checkbook balanced; although he and Sara only joined the club in 1976, they have owned a number of Porsches, mostly 356s, but Jerry now drives a ’71 911T; he and Sara are consistent concours winners; they took first in class at this year’s Parade with their ’55 Speedster .................. MICKEY HARRIS is another avid concours fan; the entire Harris family has made a project of their 1961 Roadster, and they are well on their way to winning a year-end Zone 8 award in concours; Mickey says he’s enjoyed the club so much, he wants to do something for it ........... ANN WANG has been an associate member of PCA-LA for about eight years, and finally became a full-fledged member this year; this is her third year as newsletter editor and she’s tired of sitting behind a typewriter; she owns a ’62 356B Super 90 which she’s cleaning up very slowly ............................................. JOSE OCHOA is best known around the club for his time trial exploits in the Red Racer (see Ben’s article), but his other interest is concouring; at last year’s Parade his ’64 SC took second in division (missing first by a hair); he’s beenamember of PCA since ’74 and has been membership chairman ........................ BEN ADAUTO joined the club in 1976; his first car was a ’64 C, and he now drives a ’74 911; Ben likes time trialing and rallies, and he’s looking forward to breathing new life into next year’s newsletter. When you finish voting, tear out the ballot and mail to Dave Kozak no later than 15 November.

A FAREWELL TO THE RED RACER People sometimes have special memories that they remember for as long as they live. One of those for me is the first time I rode in a car going as fast as the driver could, make it go. The place was Riverside Raceway, the driver was Jose Ochoa, and the car was his 1961 356B coupe, affectionately (and appropriately) known as the Red Racer. Well l’m sad to say that the Red Racer was prematurely retired during last month’s time trial at Riverside. While going thru Turn 2 flat out, Jose went off course and the Red Racer ended up on its roof. Jose was unhurt, and although he was able to drive the car home, it will need a lot of work to look presentable again. (if it ever did to begin with). From Valentine’s Day in 1974, when Jose and Lark bought the car for $500, it has been a familiar sight at PCA-LA and Zone 8 speed events. The Red Racer was undefeated in the annual PCA/POC Challenge Cup Slalom. It has carried Jose and Lark to two Parades, one in Seattle and the other in San Diego. In San Diego, Jose placed second in class at the autocross. Last year the Red Racer was fitted with the motor from its sister car, a 356SC that is a concours garage queen and doesn’t need an engine anyway (at least until Portland). With this engine installed, the Red Racer had to be moved up one .class for Zone 8 speed events. This year Jose drove the Red Racer in all of the Zone 8 time trials. Lark drove it at Las Vegas and Willow Springs. She was also driving at Riverside before the accident. On the way to Holtville this year, the Red Racer got 40 miles per gallon at an average speed of 70 miles per hour. Also at Holtville the Red Racer got bumped up to the next class and beat all the 912s. It’s not easy to look at a car that’s ended up on its roof, and it was especially hard because of what Jose and Lark mean to me. I left a little of myself out there with the Red Racer and l’m sure that some of Jose was left behind (if not at the track, certainly in his pants). I spent the rest of the day going
through the motions and was glad to see the day and the event end. l’ve got some serious thinking to do before I load up for Las Vegas next year. Bill Perrone from The Parts Shop is supplying a new roof and George Takeuchi of Emico is doing the installation. Jose will have the car painted white and will use it for daily transportation. Those of us who were fortunate to have driven and ridden in the Red Racer at speed will remember it always. Benny Adauto
