This month I would like to approach the question of our Region’s financial state. Like the rest of the nation, we are feeling the impact of the current economic situation. Increasing costs are affecting all areas of PCA. The costs of our events continue to rise as do the publication costs of this newsletter. The Board of Directors has been addressing this problem for several months now. The two most viable solutions appear to be either a subscription rate for the newsletter or regional dues. A committee has been investigating our choices and will make its recommendation to the Board this month. I strongly urge any of you with suggestions to contact any member of the Board. Many thanks are extended to Tom Gould and Bill Leflang for their fine presentation on the Zone 8 Rally Series at our January membership meeting. Tom is the Zone Rally Chairman for 1982 and Bill is our resident expert..Bill will be chairing the L.A. Region’s Zone 8 Rally on February 27th, so come out and try your hand at it.
This month’s cover features the first Zone 8 Time Trial photo credits to Doug Anderson. Next month we’ll have the list of entrants and a story on the event. The April feature will be on the Zone 8 Rally sponsored by Los Angeles. Anyone interested in submitting feature stories or pictures for future issues contact Connie at (213) 398-2217 during the day. Welcome aboard to several new advertisers: K & E Distributors and Detailer (Mobile Cleaners). Remember to support all the advertisers and let them know you appreciate their support of the Club. Without them we can not continue to produce the newsletter at its present standard. As a matter of fact we need even more advertisers to help off set the ever increasing costs. Advertising rate sheets are available from the Editors, so if you know of some person, or business who might be interested in advertising see one of us. Special thanks this month to Peggy Watkins for typing the bulk of copy for this issue. Len Cushman has offered the use of his. staff to staple and label the newsletter and we have taken advantage of this generous offer for the February and March issue. Thanks Len it helps more then you know, and please pass our thanks along to your staff - they’re doing a super job. The Rally/Tour mentioned in last month’s column is now tentatively set for the 12th and 13th of June. More details in next issue. Judy Wolfe has a real super weekend planned, a B B Que and Play for Saturday evening entertainment and overnight in Solvang - with an added extra attraction on Sunday for those interested. Till

TECH TIP 356 -Squeaking steering wheels may be caused by the horn brush. This is a stick of carbon which is located at the right hand side of the steering column just below the instrument panel. Remove the spring and brush and wipe off the end of the carbon stick, the squeak will usually be gone.
Early on in their careers, the finish record is spotty. They either broke while leading or crashed trying to win. Later on, if fortune has smiled upon them, they have secured the right money and right ride. Success has started to multiply and luck allows them to win more races. Usually coming through Formula 2, Formula 3, or Formula Atlantic, the new racers form a new breed at the pinnacle of their trade.

FORMULA I The drivers -- super humans. They come from the same cut as hanggliders, mountain climbers and test pilots. They have the "right stuff." So what is the "right stuff?" This stuff is keen eyesight, rapid decision making and the ability to work in extreme conditions of heat, noise, and gravitational forces.
the race he averages about 190 and peaked at 212 when he went off the track at Monaco. Grand Prix magazine said, "He obviously gave himself a huge fright." The outside air timperature can climb as high as 102o farenhei#. His body temperature may rise to I04v. The acceleration, deceleration and cornering forces are also impressive. In nearly all the corners, Didier suffered 2.9G’s--either braking, cornering, or accelerating. In short, each time he did the above, he would weigh nearly three times his normal weight. In no other sport does the athlete subject themselves for such long periods (up to two hours) of such stress. As quoted in Grand Prix" "Nevertheless~ it is clear that racing drivers are recognized, if only by their medical profession, as true supermen in the athletic world, even if they do all their work sitting down." continued pg 6
Above all, the "right stuff" is an incredible need to win. Their average is greater than 92% of the remainder of the general population.
M~ERSHIPMANIA FOR MARCH
Welcome to this month’s new members:
Here I am on the road again. I ’re been in hotel rooms, airplanes and rent-a-cars so much these last few months that I hardly remember what my Porsche looks like. Probably just as well tho-since I plan on refurbing the old 356 this su~ner and have a 930 scheduled to pass thru my garage next month, l’m afraid I m~ght get too accustomed to that 930 even though it would be a drastic change from the old faithful 356.

TWENTY SEVEN YEARS AGO Service bulletin to all dealers Subject: Windshield Wipers. Complaint about the inefficiency of windshield wiper blades are ever-increasing. In most cases difficulty does not rise from objectionable qualities in rubber material, but to film on the windshield itself. For the most part this film is deposited by the exhausted fumes from deisel engine, We wish to emphasize the facts given above. The complete removal is possible by employing silicon-free detergent.

"According to THE MOTOR, Hilter has discussed a low priced vehicle as Germany’s nationa-I car. This announcement lends special interest to a patent which has recently been taken out by that famous German engineer Dr. Porsche and his two associates. Various designes are covered including the one illustrated which has an air-cooled rear engine and the cylinder arranged in Y formation. All four wheels are independently sprung by torsion rods. The back bone type frame is made of two pieces of stamped steel and the floor is of plywood." _~

TWENTY ONE YEARS AGO Huschke von Hanstein discusses in an article "My Life With Porsche" the new Formula One team. "Sterling Moss was so impressed with this car that for two years in a row he had his own Porsche (A Formula Two) painted in Walker colors and raced it with considerable success in England and in Europe. Joe Bonnier, Graham Hill, and last but not least, Dan Gurney came to race with us. Being the second American (after Phil Hill) to drive for the Porsche team. With Dan and Joachim Bonnier we have the making of a real Formula One Team for 1961."

The January General Membership meeting met with great success, as Tom Gould, the Zone 8 Rally Chairman, with the help of our own Bill Leflang, put on a great discussion of the art of how to rally. We had 45 good members in attendance, who not only had the opportunity to participate in the rally discussion, but vied for some rather wonderful door prizes, bought lots of good stuff from the "goodie store," and heard President Judd outline the coming year’s activities° Everyone there came away with a good feeling about the Club, its’ activities, and were stimulated about rallying. This year we are going to be having our General Membership meetings every other month, and as an experiment, try different locations in order to attract members who otherwise might not come. As shows in the Calendar, March meetino is scheduled to be in the San Fernando Valley area., May will be back at the Yacht Club for Dustin’s always popular, always wonderful, internationally famous, Parking Lot BBQ. The July meeting will be in the Palos Verdes, South Coast area, September at the Yacht Club again and then, in October, the Los Feliz area. With the variety of locations being offered, there should be no excuses for those who have told us, "the Marina is just too far away." Besides the new locations for our meetings, plans are in the works for some outstanding programs that are aimed to please everybody’s taste, Keep your eyes on the Newsletter for upcoming membership meeting information. ~

Activities for March center around the Zone 8 schedule. The inaugural Concours for 1982 will be Orange Coast Region’s renowned White Glove. Held at South Coast Plaza Hotel, Costa Mesa on March 7, this event is always a super show. On the rolling lawn of the hotel the cars bask in attention and care while photographers take advantage of the many unusual angles and perspectives. Also you can plan on brunch at the hotel or doing some browsing at the South Coast Plaza Shopping Center - it’s really worthwhile~ Tuesday the 9th of March will be PCA-LA’s first Tech Meeting under the aegis of our newest Tech Chairman, Doug Anderson. Please see the calendar for further details. Doug’s promising some practical, useful subjects for this year so don’t miss this one. Our March membership meeting will be held in the San Fernando Valley. After so many years of meeting at the SCCYC in the Marina, we’re going to try this year a rotating-site format for some of our regular meetings. It’s an attempt to get more members involved, so let’s give it a try. See our Special Announcement for full particulars. Last but not least for March is our favorite Willow Springs Time Trial. This one, to be held on March 27 & 28, will be a Zone 8 event and will be sponsored and organized by PCA Riverside Region and POC. Willow has gotten a lot of improvements recently and promises a great time for novices and veterans alike. Come out and experience what high-speed Porsche driving is about. If you need more info or help, call Lee Burton (Zone 8 Chief Driving Instructor) at (213) 705-4989.

1982 PCA ENDORSED TREFFEN To provide the best for PCA members~ bids were solicited for conducting the PCA endorsed Treffen for 1982 and an open competition for the 1982 Treffen was announced in the June 1981 issue of Panorama. The Executive Council at their November 1981 meeting, after extensive review, awarded the PCA endorsement for 1982 to Englewood Travel. This action was taken based on the judgment of the six members of the Executive Council who considered Englewood to have the best of four proposals.

18 FROM THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT Membership growth and more regional participation in activities are my goals for 1982. With the economy as it is today, members are more conscious of how they choose to spend their finances. It will be a challenge to all you newly elected Regional Presidents to use your ingenuity and resourcefulness to create a calendar of events that will not overtax the pocketbooks of your members, but will give them some new and novel events that will make them want to participate. Personal touch, participation and membership growth go hand in hand in making a region sound and financially solvent,
kindle the Porsche fire with the President of VOA, Jim McLernon, and you drove the way of life home to Jim Fuller, VP-PAD. All three of these gentlemen are planning to make the 1982 Porsche Parade in Reno. What have you accomplished by this relationship? First, a new European delivery program that is the best and most attractive money saver ever put together; second, the reaffirmation of continued support to PCA and the PCA Treffen; and third, the beginnings of a new understanding between PCA and VOA. I can remember some 12 years ago, when a relationship between our organizations didn’t or couldn’t be conceived to exist. continued on pg 19
With the delivery of the new "What is PCA?" and combined membership application to the Factory, to be placed on all Porsches exported to the U.S., the membership committee has accomplished its main goal for 1981. I’ve already received a couple of inquiries from these efforts, so the indication is that the system is going to work. The PCA dictionary is now in the process of being compiled and is one of the goals for this year. With the help of the Zone Reps, the new regional boundary maps will also be completed. Thanks Jerry, et al. The unique relationship that continues to exist among PCA and PAD, Porsche AG, and VOA is growi ng stronger. The mutual trust, respect and open lines of communication that exist among our organzations is what makes us unique. In recent conversations wi th both PAD and Porsche AG, i t was the importance of our respective organizations that must natural ]y take precedence over any one individual. It is the advancement of the whole that counts, not the singular individual. This past year has been rewarding along these lines, for not only have you, the members, shown the new President of Porsche AG, Peter Schu tz, wha t PCA i s al ! abou t, but those of you at the Parade helped

Competition, change’land not being guaranteed a position fo~’l.ife is what keeps PCA mentally active an~ successful. With fresh faces being elected to the Executive Council and new .leadership coming forth, changes are bound to occur. One of these is causing some unrest, that of the PCA Treffen. In the June 1981 Panorama, a notice was placed opening the planning of the 1982 PCA Treffen for bidding. We were pleased to receive four bids from travel agencies who wanted to serve our members. The final choice was made, coincidentally, between the same two agencies that we had to choose from six years ago, Gelco Travel Services, who have been endorsed for the past five years by PCA, and Englewood Travel. Although we have been pleased with the travel services of the past, we find that through the open bidding system we are able to offer those PCAers wishing to go this year with a different travel format at a savings. Keep in mind that the travel and accomodations are secured by the travel agency. The Treffen and Factory p6rtion is hosted by Porsche AG and the Porsche family. The relationships of both Gelco and Englewood with the Porsche Company are excellent; Gelco, from past trips, and Eng!ewood as the
agency that does all of Porsche Audi Division’s trips to Stuttgart. So you see, the dilemma of choosing between two such experienced agencies was not easy, but was very gratifying because whichever one we chose, we were guaranteed that.the PC~,ers going would get the best tour package available. Again, the Stuttgart, Factory and Weissach portion of the tour remains the same and is the core of every Treffen without regard to the travel agency chosen. We think we made the proper, choice, only the results of the trip will tell. Once again, the 1983 PCA Treffen will be open for bidding with the decision to be made at the Fall Meeting of the Council. Get those new members involved in 1982 and keep the old ones participating and we will be guaranteed a successful year. Remember, the Council is accessible and ready to help when possible. We can give the advice, but you’re the ones who have to implement the techniques and make them work. Believe me, it’s worth the effort. The personal touch, a wave and a blink of your lights, recognition and respect are what make Porsche a way of life. HANK MALTER National President
