PCA.LA AT A GLANCE PCA-LA is 350 diverse Porsche owners. We are young and old, novice and 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.

The June 19 edition of the Wall Street Journal carried a story indicating that there is evidence that the proposed catalytic converters emit materials "of known toxicity" that are small enough to enter human lungs. A research team headed by William Balgord, a chemist at New York State’s Department of Environmental Conservation0 believes that prolonged contact between the exhaust gasses and the rare metals used in the converters may cause a decomposition of these materials. General Motors and Chrysler doubted the value of the experiment, since the statistics "were obtained without the use of full size cars produced on a Detroit assembly line and equipped with commercially produced converter systems." Based on my experience with cars produced on assembly lines, they sure must have snugged up the tolerances if they expect better results in production cars. In any event, Mr. Balgord plans to test actual road vehicles soon. Hang in there g~ng - maybe there’s hope yet.

computers, and is handled by a man who has a feel for the cars and the logistic problems involved. He has tried to maintain as much of an inventory of older parts as possible as long as they are available, and as long as there is any movement in the inventory. He described to us computer systems that are used to help locate difficult parts. We also were given a feel for the difficulties that he faces in trying to pry parts out of Germany, especially in the beginning of a model run or model change.
VW- PAZIFIK
For the second year W-Pacific invited the PCA presidents (Zone 8) to a Saturday morning meeting at their facilities in Culver City. Meeting with us were: Bill Haworth, Public Relations; Phi! Taylor, Marketing; George Holcomb, Parts; and Wolfgang Bruecher, Service. I took my cassette recorder so I wouldn’t have to take many notes, and ten minutes from the end of the meeting the tape jammed. (First tape jam in two years using the machine!) RATS! %~*?# and other dirty words!
We were told of the assumption of control of the two West Coast facilities by VW of America. Mr. Von Newman was desirous of devoting his time and attention to matters other than business, and VW of America was interested in running the Wes~ Coast operation. So both parties were happy with the move. Sam Tucker will be the top man in the new organization here.
Working from memory (panic!) I’ll attempt to pass onto you the main points covered there. I was surprised to learn that Dr. Porsche’s sons are no longer associated with the factory. The last I had heard, each of them was responsible for a key part of the business but apparently this is not so anymore.
An interesting statistic was furnished by Mr. Taylor relative to the marketing of 911’s. He indicated that 7~ of the 911’s are leased. This accounts for how ordinary people like us can get into such an expensive car with little down payment. He also indicated that he felt that the current production number of 911’s is about right from the standpoint of demand.
Mr. Bruecher gave us a short presentation on the new fuel injection unit being used on the "T". It is smoother, produces more low end torque and is simpler in operation, maintenance and design. An earlier newsletter featured some information on the unit and I expect more tech information will follow. John Larson is considering a tech meeting on this subject.
I raised a question on behalf of one of the members regarding the difference in price of 914 engine components that are common to 914’s and 411’s. Realizing that (continued on page 5)
Mr. Holcomb let us in on some of the trials and tribulations of trying to supply parts for our beasts - both old and new. It is

PCA-POC CHALLENGE CUP SLALOM Sunday/10:00 a.m.
As you all know, once a year ~A-LAand POC get together for a challenge cup rally. We’ve been very successful the last two years in winning the cup (POC has never won it). So now we’re going to have another annual challenge cup event - a slalom - and the stage for another test of these two clubs is set. On the one hand, POC is probably still licking their wounds from the rally and thinks that it can turn ~A’s head in this type of event. On the other hand, we have just finished a successful slalom at which everyone had a great time, and think that we have equally talented drivers. This slalom will offer classes for all types of cars - from the daily streetdriven Porsche, through production class cars, to all out racing machines. However, this will be an open exhaust event for all classes. KENDON PORSCHE AUDI is sponsoring the Challenge Cup, which will be awarded classes.°n the basis of total points from all This should be one of the most enjoyable events of this - or any - year. Even if you don’t want to run, come out and watch the action . . . maybe help us with some of the work. There will be a food stand~ and rest rooms, so bring the whole family and spend the day. The place is Irwindale RaceWay (dragstri~ and tech will begin at I0:00 a.m., followed by practice until the timed runs begin at 2:00 p.m. There will be a pre-tech at Kendon Porsche-Audi bn August 1 from 7:00 p.m. to i0:00 p.m. A flyer will be winging its way to you Shortly, but if you’re impatient for more information, call Tore Johnson at 432-3216 (work), 426-8063 (home), or Don Colwell, Jr. at 636-2319 (work), 881-4319 (home).

TRW Slalom PCA-LA’s first competitive speed event of the year proved to be the shot in the arm that the club needed! With over 35 participants an~ gobs of friends, family and general oglers on hand, members took their time sorting out the course and began to go fast only as the "hot shoes" laid down some rubber to show the way. The efforts of Bob VanCleave were effective. Handicaps seemed reasonable and the 5 second penalty for hitting a pylon kept everybody honest. By the end of the day the differences were in the driving - not the cars. John Williamson turned a fantastic time of 41.57 seconds in the beasty 914-6 GT, to cop the fastest time of the day. Speaking of cops, a Manhattan Beach policeman had the best comment of the day. When asked to take his patrol car around, he replied that it had 60,000 miles on it ridiculous! When told that some cars out there had twice that mileage, he just walked away mumbling that the damn black and white ~ould end up sitting on its white. Even cops love Porsches, when they cop to it. Lots of speed, talk, photograft-and trying to find food and a bathroom within a mile of TRW made this a highly successful event. Thanks to John, Ralph, Kurt, Edith and all that helped.

june minutes A happy dinner meeting was held June 13 at Stearn’s Bar-B-Q in Santa ~onica with approximately 60 members present. I say "approximately" because my trusty clipboard with all my notes is at my office (thought I was going to type them on company time!) and it is now the Saturday that the minutes are due for the paper. Such procrastination .... The business and officer reports were quickly disposed of, winners of the Slalom at TRW were announced (again, sorry I don’t have the names, but I told you about my clipboard . . . I do know that the Fraudi Audi Racing Team tooted around quite well), and new members and quests John Caroway, Ellen Peterson, Don Rim0 Dave Kemp, Don Knight and Jo Hinkle were introduced. Roger Wagner brought up the proposed national speed limit and was asked by John to draw up a petition opposing any such law! After we finished our business we settled back in our chairs for a beautiful slide presentation and discussion by Bill Graves, president of the California Soaring Society, and his assistant Sharon on sailplaning . . . beauty, quiet and solitude personified. We were invited as a group to join a "winging" at E1 Mirage anytime and that one could "solo" after just a few hours of instruction. Shall we? Bill pointed out some rather unbelievable records for such planes ~ an altitude record of 46,000 feet, a distance record of 725 miles and a time-in-the-air record of 70 hours. Ye gods .... Eleven members gathered on June 19 on Corky’s lovely patio under swaying branches dotted with Japanese lanterns to sip lemonade and discuss the official status of the Board and club. Don’t you wish you were on the Board . . . we’re taking applications for next year NOW. Don’t trample over one another. Reports and plans were discussed in the typical lively fashion which makes the future look exciting. Watch for flyers and announcements in the paper and, above all, come to the general meetings. Curt Kuebler gave the latest facts and figures fromyour PeA National Up it Fixin Porsche. Get $4.00, or on was $4.50der(gad I miss that clipboard)ready for an autographed copy.

C...71C...TIC...71C ~ (continued from page 2) some engine parts are different, the memher indicated that had priced the part at a VW agency and a Porsche agency and that the price at the latter was considerably higher. Mr. Holcomb told me that those parts common to the VW 411 and the Porsche 914 are no___~t listed in the Porsehe price catalogue. They are only listed in the VW price book, which is furnished to Porsche agencies. However, Porsche dealers, being independent businessmen, can change any price they choose. The main reason for meetings like this is to establish a good rapport between the people who sell ’em and the people who buy ’em. And this meeting served this purposed quite well. John Kepler

ALREADY?
Believe it or not, Porsche buffs, the Can Am series has started. It seems that it just ended a couple of months ago. But Charlie Hemp, in last year’s Penske Potsche, won the race. Everyone really had troubles. I guess it sneaked up on them, too. Congratulations, Charlie, and especially, Porsche. Tore Johnson (Very good, Tore - but where was it?! Ed.) !~~~~~ ~" .~i--~~~~~~

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE TECHNICAL CHAIRMAN AND EVENT MASTERS (SPEED) OF PCA-LA In order to more fairly classify cars running in speed events and at the same time keep the number of trophies awarded to a reasonable number, please consider the following rules for classifying Porsches: CLASS A B C D E F G H I
TYPE OF CAR
NOTE
4 Cylinder Showroom Stock Cars 6 Cylinder Showroom Stock Cars 4 Cylinder Production Cars 6 Cylinder Production Cars 4 Cylinder Modified Cars 6 Cylinder Modified Cars 4 Cylinder Race Cars 6 Cylinder Race Cars Ladies (Ratio to fastest man)
1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5
NO CLASS ADVANCEMENT WOULD BE NECESSARY iShowroom stock cars must be equivalent to an "as-purchased" condition and must have a stock ignition and advance curve and air cleaner(s) muffler, bumper, etc. intact, in place and in operation. They must have a minimum of 5" ground clearance and a maximum wheel width of 5½" for 4 cylinder cars and 6" for 6 cylinder ~ars with street tires. 2production cars must have full street trim including a muffler (street legal) in operation, but may have a modified ignition and advance curve. They may run any wheel up to 7" in width and may mount racing tires. There must be at least 3" ground clearance. 3Modified cars may run wheels over 7" wide, racing tires, larger than stock venturi’s, any ignition, open exhaust systems, and suspension and body modifications. 4Race cars are those not licensed for street use and designed primarily for competitive speed events. They must only have a Porsche engine, transmission, chassis and body. 5Ladies would run in the s~me categories as the men and places would be based on the ratio of the women’s times to the fastest man’s time in the same class. If there is sufficient interest, the ladies class could be broken down into 4 and 6 cylinder cars. If there is limited interest, the ladies’ class could be combined with the mens’ by giving.them negative time handicap. To further equalize competition and recognize the capabilities and potentials of the various Porsche models, the following handicaps are proposed for the above classes: CATAGORY SLALOM All Mid-Engine Cars 1.0 4 Cylinder Cars 1700-1990cc’s 4 Cylinder Cars 1991cc’s & up 1.0 .5 6 Cylinder Cars 2100-2300cc’s 6 Cylinder Cars 2301-2400cc’s 1.0 6 Cylinder Cars 2401-2600cc’s 1.5 6 Cylinder Cars 2601cc’s & up 2.0 Special Gears* 2.0 Limited Slip Differential* 2.0 Ladies (if in with men) -1.5
TIMETRIAL 3.0 1.0 2.0 1.5 2.0 3.0 4.0 4.0 4.0 -3.0
*Not applicable to classes G and H (Race Cars)

July 1 brought sixty optimistic Porsche Pushers to Cutright Porsche-Audi foX’he first Little Mountain Goat Rallye/Picnic. Optimism hath its reward, as everyone climbed above the dismal fog and into the Santa Monica Mountains’ sunny skies. Rallye results showed every car found every check point and five cars were under three minutes total error in two and a half hours of SOP rallye. Visitors David and Nancy Baum led the way with their beautiful 1958 silver Speedster, which appears capable of concours0 slalom or any other challenge encountered. PCA-LA’ers took the rest of the silver with Malcolm and Doralyn Harris’ second and Edith and Ruth Savage’s third. Edith and Ruth posted the best time error of the day, 1.39 minutes total! One sign cost them first place. Our sponsor, Ralph Cutright Porsche-Audi, provided all trophies as well as refreshments at the start. General Manager Max Dial’s enthusiastic support of this year’s event and his offer to sponsor this as an annual event are greatly appreciated.

ET CETERA FRAUDIE AUDI RACING TEAM Hi, all you PCA’ers. You know, during my long old life, some pretty far-out things have happened to me. Like the time I was kidnapped by a band of gypsies and held fer ransom. Or the time I was pushed off Mt. Baldy and landed in a bag of Kitty Litter. Or maybe even the time that I bought a pumpkin farm and they cancelled Halloween. But June 3, 1973 was the best day of all. After many, many long hours of testing and development, the official Fraudie Audi Racing Team made their debut at the PCA-LA slalom. Not only were they super to look at (especially Tore’s legs), but they were equally fast. The number one F.A.R.T.’er of the day was Don Colwell, Jr. in his 912 taking a first in his class! Pete Zimmerman in his cherry speedster took a second place, Carola Anderson in her 911T Targa took a third place, and Tore (Legs) Johnson took a sixth, beating two 914-6’s and a dead moose! Anyway, all in all, that is success in the making.

Your editor has created a limited amount of hysteria (that is, a small group of very hysterical Porsche people), which should be laid to rest. Stapled with the flyer for the TRW Slalom was a letter from our president, John Kepler, to those members who had not renewed their membership for 1973. Because of the cost of a separate mailing and the problem of identifying the 150 members(out of a total 400) who had not renewed, I mailed this letter to everyone - reqardless of whether they had renewed their dues or not. Well, I’ve reaped the results of this short cut for a month and a half. You can stop writing! If you’ve received this issue of Porscherama, you are a member in good standing in PCA-LA. If you’re not a member in good standing, you’re not reading this and evidently didn’t read John’s letter either. I Repent. Amen.

I’ve been fairly pleased with the results of FIX IT OUT in the June Porscherama, but will wait for another month to compile and mail the results. Remember, if you don’t contribute, you won’t get a copy of the results. So, don’t procrastinate. I can still include your opinions~

membership Here it is, the n~st exciting part of the paper, membership. What can I say that I haven’t already said? Do you want to listen to me bitch about the Parade? Do you want me to tell you to be better Porsche Pushers? How about general meetings?
Well, I am not going to speak about any of that. I would rather "get it all together" for the Challenge Cup Slalom with POC. I’d really like to see PCA beat them at their own game. Let’s all do it! Tore Johnson P.S. Isn’t anyone going to cancel, so I can go to the Parade?
