US 95 Travels
Holiday Shopping
In our June issue this year, we had a story from Mike Newlon about one of the road trips he has made in his 1969 912 that has been completely overhauled and prepared for trips of this sort.
By Bruce Pollock
This month we have the second of three parts about his trip along US Highway 95 which runs north and south from Mexico to Canada.
"Desolation Highway – Porsche Style" Part 2 Winnemucca NV to Riggins ID By Mike Newlon After leaving the melting snow of Winnemucca NV that morning I drove about 65 miles to the
Cold and wet in Winnemucca, Nevada.
Oregon border and Blue Mountain Pass (elev. 5,293 ft.). More snow than I saw in Winnemucca had fallen the previous night but, luckily, the road was clear. Continued on Page 4.

About a year ago we presented a section about some newly-released books that seemed like they would be excellent for Holiday gift-giving. Here are a couple for this year. This first one is not at all specifically related to Porsche, but noteworthy nonetheless. I myself have been seeing and reading the work of Bernard Cahier for about as long as I have been able to do either. It seems to me that no one more exemplifies the spirit and art of midcentury Grand Prix Motor Racing than Bernard Cahier. It’s titled F-Stops, Pit Stops, Laughter & Tears - Memoirs Of An Automotive Journalist. Here’s what Road & Track had to say about it: “Bernard is one of the most famous and celebrated photographers in the automotive world and first began contributing to Road & Track in the early 1950s. His career took him nearly everywhere in the racing world, and he became friends with virtually all of the drivers – note that the forwards for his book are written by Phil Hill and Dan Gurney. The book encompasses more than 1300 photographs surrounded by 142,000 words, so you know that the stories of adventures within the racing fraternity are all there. This must surely rank as the most complete memoir of all time in this field. If you have a passion for sports car racing and the Grand Prix circus from the 1950s through the 1980s, you will be delighted with F-Stops, Pit Stops, Laughter & Tears.”

When you open an email from one of our board members it will look just like this. It is notification of an up-coming event and an invitation to join us. Response, contact info and other pertinent data about the event is included. Sometimes events grow from concept to reality in a short period of time. When that happens, as with the September 9th Turbo Cab debut at Beverly Hills Porsche, these email notices may be the only way we have of contacting you in time. All the more reason to be sure your email info is up-to-date. Make your updates at www.pca.org.
