PCA’LA AT A GLANCE PCA-LA is 350 diverse Porsche owners. We are young and old, novice a~d expert, slow and fast. PCA-LA is also a "region’~ of Porsche Club of America, the largest one marque non-factory club in the world. On a national level, PCA publishes an excellent monthly magazine ("Porsche Panorama") and generally provides a. forum for learning. But the club part is local. And what PCA-LA offers is an opportunity to share the exhilirating (and sometimes frustrating) experience of understanding, maintaining and driving one of the most unique automobiles of all time. Enjoy:
Here is your ballot for the 1974 Board of Directors of the L.A. Region of PCA.

One of the advantages PCA has over some other car clubs is that it is a national club - with other regions. This can engender a feeling of competition which c~n be quite healthy. With this in mind, Zone 8 is putting together a competition c~lendar for next year that you may be interested in. It would consist of six speed events in 1974. An overall champion would be determined on the best four out of six basis. The proposed events are time trials at Willow Springs, Holtville0 Ontario (or OCR), Riverside, Phoenix and Santa Maria. This would require a uniform set of competition rules, which is in the process of being ironed out. Incidentally, (Continued on Page 2) COVER Thanks to our treasurer, Corky Kirk, who stopped his adding machine long enough to snap this shot (and those adorning this month’s centerfol~) at the Willow Springs Time Trials ....

(Continued from Page i) in case you were wondering, Zone 8 includes the following regions: Arizona, California Central, L.A., Riverside, Orange Coast, Southern Arizona, Santa Barbare and San Diego. If you have any thoughts on this, please let me know . . . The National Academy of Sciences is a prestigious group of people with no axe to grind either for or against the existing 1970 Clean Air Act. I was delighted to learn that they were looking into the Clean Air Standards, since I knew that their recommendations would be factual and unbiased, Late last month they testified before the House Subcommittee on Public Health. If you are interested in good r~nning cars and clean air, you may be interested in their report, "An emission limit for CO (carbon mortoxide) approximately three times as high as that promulgated by EPA for 1975 would give assurance of not exceeding the 8-hour air-quality standard of 9 parts per million CO more than once a year." (i.e., The very strict requirements are set three times higher than need be to obtain the desired results.) And: "Present federal emission requirements of 0.41 grams per mile HC (hydrocarbons) and 0.4 g/mi NOX (oxides of nitrogen) seem more restrictive than need be by a factor of about three . . . These conclusions suggest that the 90% reduction of CO and NOX specified in Sec. 202 of the Clean Air Act may be more than is required to meet the present national air quality standards for CO, NOX and oxident." For those of you who have been following the story of the Clean Air Act, this will not come as any great surprise. When Congress set up the standards (hastily in the closing days of the 1970 session), they used the only data that was available, That data has subsequently been shown to be erroneous. In fact, even California pollution experts (probably the most knowledgable in the field) felt that these original standards were too strict. Since the standards were passed during the white heat of enthusiasm for environmental issues, and since one senator desired this feather in his cap to help his presidential bid, perhaps we can exc~ise the mistake.
What we cannot excuse is a failure on the part of the legislators to correct those mistakes now. Probably logic will not prevail. The congressmen will probably be reluctant to back down on these standards since pressure from the environmentalists will no doubt be fierce. Senator Muskie refuses to believe that his original numbers are unsupportable. He does his scientific research by looking out of the window. "As I returned from Maine to the Senate," he said recently, "I saw this dirty air mass covering the land, urban and rural alike, and darkening the sun." Let’s hope Congress as a whole will rely on scientific data rather than looking out of the Window. Looks like.it’s time to dust off the writing paper and let your elected representarives know that all things considered, you’d rather not have an expensive cataiytic converter on your car - especially since it’s not necessary.

PORSCHE PARADE/ MONTEREY 1973 BY GERI BOOTHE Vern and Ada Covert have attended twelve of these parades. After going to one, you’ll try your darndest to make them all, or at least the ones in the western part of the U.S. our first was at Sun Valley and this year the setting for the Monterey Parade was just as great. Being a small cog in the large wheel of parade activities limits us to reporting only our impressions and so we will leave most of the final results for you to read in Pano. Wi~h Ralph driving our 356 and me following him in the 911, we finally groped our way to the Del Monte Hyatt House very late Friday evening, the 17th of August. After a slight misunderstanding as to the route we would ~take, I was led a perilous 65 miles west into a blazing setting sun, trying to keep up with Ralph passing vehicles at 80 mph plus on a rough two-lane road. I was not in a very good mood as we approached Highway i01 and continued north toward Salinas. I kind of got the idea we should have stayed home after gashing my big toe on a broken bottle; turning off for food and gas (without Ralph) and, when tilting the driver’s seat forward, having it !ock with headrest against the steering wheel; opening the trunk lid for warmer clothes and realizing as I pushed it down that the left corner was protruding about an inch above the fender line. Its bra strap had caught in the latch. Worst of all, I phoned the hotel for help from Ralph, figuring he was way ahead of me, and then got smart and ran the seat back on the runners and released the lever that lays the back down. Meanwhile, Ralph all too promptly got my message and in the pitch black .night we must have passed each other on the road to Laguna Seca. When we finally rendezvoused, there were mumblings of divorce among other comments. With my suitcase permanently locked in the trunk of the 911, I had made up my mind to head back to L.A. the next day. However, when I awoke late in the morning, Ralph had already fixed the seat, released the jammed trunk lid and eaten breakfast, He reported some juicy-looking morsels had arrived in covered trailers for the parade and with that news I was delighted as the excitement of being part of it all took over. Lots of conversation with fellow Porsche-
Pushe~rs from other states, including Alaska and Hawaii added to the excitement. It was hard to find time to work on the car for the concours, but by Monday morning Ralph, with the enthusiastic help of Don Sommerville, had our 911 standing tall. The weather was sunny and warmer than expected, and at 8:30 a.m. all the gorgeous Porsches rolled onto a dry lawn at the Pebble Beach Golf Course in front of the Del Monte Lodge. This event drew a large crowd of PCA members and other spectators. After Dr. and Mrs. Porsche made the awards of a blue ribbon and a bottle of champagne, the finalists were, again, judged for Best of Show. This was a flawless black 1960 356B Coupe from Concord, California. Four of the first-in-class winners were from the L.A. Region. They were Vern and Ada Covert with their famous 904; John Williamson and his 914-6 GT; Chuck and Stana Cooper, recently from Colorado, with their beautiful grey 1957 356A Coupe and Ralph and myself, with our 1969 911E Targa "en air-scoop" formed on the rear deck lid from 20 gauge steel~ Ralph Campbell also, very excitedly, took 10th in his class. The Concours award banquet was delightful and the Hyatt House did a splendid job of serving nearly 900 people. There were varying opinions on the other evenings’ dinners, but one thing for sure--the expensive imported wines and champagne flowed generously. Two cocktail parties included a large variety of hors d’oeuvres surrounding each a 911 and a 914 centerpiece carved in ice. And, an exceptional setting for the Mexican Fiesta was the Carmel Mission, complete with Mariachi music. Tuesday morning held much anticipation for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience a little of what the pros do a Laguna Seca Raceway. The 1.9 mile track walk was thoroughly enjoyable with expert instruction on how to take every turn. The following two days were devoted to timed runs with the "hot ones" running last. It is a tricky course and Wester Porsche-Audi’s repair shop was filled with some of the results of having too heavy a foot. Competition was stiff and fastest TOD was accomplished by Alan Johnson. Some were betting " (Continued on Page 8)

WILLOW
’73
Once upon a time there was a Porsche Clu~. And this Porsche Club put on a time trial in a far-away place called Willow Springs. Ninety plus drivers showed up. They drove such Porsches as 908’s# 911 Carreras and all the production models. The weather was fabulous for the whole week-end. And to top it all off, one individual came forth to pay for most of the expenses. Does all this sound too good to be true? Those of us who were there know that it wasn’t a fairy tale. Those of you who were not there really missed a great event. Everything went perfectly, right from the beginning. The first day (Saturday) was spent drooling at some of the cars that showed up. There was a 908 and a 911 Carrera from Vasek Polak. There was Vern Covert’s beautiful 904. Bill Yates had his 911S coupe with a 3.0 liter engine. A 911 Carrera Targa and 914-6 GT’s showed up, too. As if that wasn’t enough, you should have seen the party Saturday night at the Sand Sailor. We had the banquet room reserved for a little "get-it-on", oops, I mean get-together. Boy, we did "get it on", thought! A rock band called The Hereafter kept us all thereafter. I think the bartender is still there pouring, Anyway, a fantastic time was had by all, and even more important, there were no, repeat, n__qo mishaps at the track except for a few shattered egos. A special thanks to Vasek Polack for sponsoring our event and making it come off so well! Tore Johnson Chairman, Willow ’73 P.S. Here is a list of all the participants in the various classes.

I left for Willow Springs expecting to have a boring week-end; but - are you ready for this? - I had a blast, a super blast! When Terri Colwell asked me to help hand out helmets, I never realized it could be fun. For anyone who is single, it’s a terrific job. After all, when you hand out a helmet, you take in a driver’s license, and it’s surprising what that can reveal (height, weight, age, marital status, address and, in some cases, occupation), What more could you want?! But there’s more to Willow than helmets. What I really Wanted was a ride in a fast car - with a good driver, of course. Thanks to my husband, Del, Don Colwell, and Tore Johnson, I got a ride with a really nice guy, Don Kravig, president of PCA-Riverside. After buckling down, we were off. From the start until turn three, I was terrified, The car seemed to be all over the road. Then I found out Don was only testing to see if a tire was low. Back to the pits. I thought it was all over when Don told me to sit tight and we’d try it again. Wommm 90, wommm i00, wommm ii0 - wow!! Don sure can drive! What a thrill. When w~ had finished our first lap, Don asked me if I was afraid. "No," I told him, "after riding with my husband, nothing could scare me." Wommmm! Thank you, Don Kravig, for making Willow that much more exciting for me. Arda Jackson

on John Williamson and his "Mini-Turbo Panzer", but John got greedy and tried to squeeze a little extra performance out of it, and, shall we say, "screwed up" and came in third. For all-over points~ he didn’t do too bad though, and a third place in the rally with Bill Le Flang navigating, put him sixth over-all in the Parade. Again, Ralph Campbell took a fifth place trophy in his class and I was quite thrilled to receive a fifth place trophy in the ladies’ class. If I have forgotten to mention any other trophy winners, please forgive me. The Monterey Meander Rally started early Friday morning with the first car out at 7:30, and there to greet us with our instructions was L.A. Region’s Mary Felo. As she wished us al! good luck, we struck out for parts unknown and spent the next six hours viewing quaint farmlands near Watsonville and deep, dark, misty forests around Santa Cruz. It was a good rally put on by John Clever, with a minimum of his "Clever" tricks. This was evidenced by the winner’s one-half minute error in the equipped class. It was a beautiful parade and a fun week, and everything was very efficiently and professionally run. About thirty or more people from the L.A. Region showed up at one time or another, either as spectators or participants. Together with the Parade activities and what the Monterey Peninsula has to offer for entertainment, there was enough to keep everyone busy every waking moment. Geri Boothe

Now if I could just tighten up my bladder. Every time I go to see my doc, she starts singing, "Ring around the . . . collar." Everyone had so much fun at~willow that I thought I’d let you hear some of the more interesting quotes, "Where the hell is the wind?!" by Everyone Who’s Been to Willow Before. "How could a 914 1.7 beat a 914 2.0?" by Don Colwell, Jr. "I’m sure glad Alan Jonson didn’t show up!" by John williamson, "Where i~s Willow Springs?" by John Kepler.

die ainuten September General Membership Meeting Shortly after the September memberhip meeting at Monty’s Steak House, the Secretary became incapacitated till she left for Cleveland. I am pinch-hitting for her and for this month’s minutes, so please bear with me. After a delicious dinner and before our guest speaker was introduced, Tore gave the tophies to the winners of the ~CA-POC Challenge Cup Slalom. He was assisted by his guest for the evening, Miss Sylmar. Also, the PCA-LA winners at the National Porsche Parade in Monterey were mentioned. SHORT--BREAK Wally Cole, National PCA Vice-President, showed the slides of his special tour of the Stuttgart Factory. The tour also included seeing the factory’s test track, or maybe I should call it the "torture track". All in all, it was instructional as well as fun to see the Porsches being formed from scratch. Thank you, M~. Cole. Meeting adjourned. Respectfully submitted? The Phantom Pinch-Hitter P.S. Those who hadn’t seen the 1974 Porsche models stayed to see Ron Ramage’s slides from his latest European adventure. October General Membership Meeting Following cocktails and a good dinner, the October membership meeting at the Luminaries Restaurant in Monterey Park started off with John Larson’s "Show and Tell" about brake discs - if you keep tabs on the pads, it could save untold expense in labor and new discs. Corky’s treasurer’s report was short: "SOlvent." Tore informed us that our current membership of 331 makes us the third largest PCA region. Del Jackson regretfully announced that the October 20th sail planing reservations were full. But, he told us that we~ could all look forward to a real rally challenge on November 18. Tore was again called upon this time to announce the winners of Willow Springs - see the exciting times elsewhere in this issue.

914, 914-6 Gas Line I encountered a problem with my 914-6 recently. The connecting gas line from the fuel pump to the cold start valve (line passes under the battery mount) is a plastic type that hardens, becomes brittle, and cracks upon aging. Unless replaced therapeutically through your concern or via an astute (but rare) servicing mechanic, tragedy may strike you in the form of a raging fire of so-called "unknown" origin. It is not of unknown origin when you are able to see "raw" gas pooled on the engine shrouding minutes before the flames erupt. Conversations with other 914 fire cases and my insurance company indicate that there have been quite a number of so-called unknown origin fires in this particular species. A fiery letter to Porsche-Audi, Volkswagen of-America requesting that they correct this engineering oversight in future 914’s, as they all have this cheap "fire trap" tubing, resulted in a shortly worded acknowledgement of receipt of my letter. So if you own a 914 or a 914-6, check your gas supply line and, perform post haste a very simple procedure that I did on my 914-6 replacement. PUT IN SOME COPPER TUBING IMMEDIATELY. And if you’re concerned with battery acid spillage onto the copper tubing, this can be covered with about twelve inches of acid resistant tygon tubing. Horace L.
