GENERAL INFORMATION PCA-LA AT A GLANCE PCA-LA is 550 diver~e Porsche owners. We are young and old, novice and expert, slow and fast. PCA-LA is a "region" of Porsche Club of America, the largest single 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 The Los Angeles Region offers is an opportunity to share the exhilarating (and sometimes frustrating) understanding, maintaining and driving one of the most unique experience of automobiles of all time. Enjoy.

Musings and ramblings during the summer doldrums.., what a delight and pleasure it was to open my August issue of Panorama and find Bob Rassa’s thoroughly entertaining article about our 25th Anniversary party at Will Rogers. Our thanks to Bob for letting the over 22,000 Porsche Club members know how we do it here in Southern California. THE PARADE... of course you’ll read about it in PANO and elsewhere in this newsletter, but I wanted to add a bit. The Parade had its moments, some good and some not so good. Of course, the Concours always is the hit, and as you know by now, Angelo Pino’s Speedster (he of the San Gabriel Valley Region)

won overall honors. My pick for the best and certainly the most unusual was our own member, Kent Morgan’s 907, one of five in the world. A magical car with a fabulous history and perfectly restored. As Vern Covert observed, it was much better than the original as when the factory had the car, none of the body panels fit! Another magnificent division winner from our Region was Ken Ito’s outstanding ’65 Cabriolet. Kenny, who has won overall in the past really knows how to put a car together. Congratulations, Kenny. Ah, the Thrill of Victory... Jon Winthrop and I entered the Rallye. It was a first time adventure for me, and Jon had not done one in years. We took 44th out of 180 and trophied! (Trophies in this class went 45 deep). The Agony of Defeat ... entered the Speed Event and did 14th out of 20 in class. The course was set up using Riverside’s famed "short-course" in a real unusual fashion. If you were an autocrosser or slalom expert, you did well. If your car was set up for the road course, as mine was, you were a sure loser. One of our favorite members, Connie Fern, did a truly yeoman’s job in acting as chief driving

instructor for this event. I don’t know how she held up as well as she did with the 100+ heat and equally hot tempers she had to deal with. My criticism of the Rallye was, what with all the beautiful country in Southern California, they ran us through some of the ugliest parts of Orange and Riverside Counties. I realize it was the 4th of July weekend, but really? A new addition to the Parade was a literature and swap meet event. A huge success, especially for Bob Raucher who found for his collection the original owner’s manual for a 1939 VW. Lots of wonderful door prizes were handed out at every social event, but the prize was a two week stay in Stuttgart with all the trimmings won by Tore Johnson. I won a poster but Tore wouldn’t trade, For fear of sounding provincial, there is no question in my mind but that our plan, submitted by and Bob Houseman, for the Parade to be Beach with the Queen Mary as HQ would vastly superior to the South Coast Plaza.

The commodity they have the least of is time. The thing that usually plays our way is that (these people) suddenly come to the realization that, in the last year they’ve seen the boat once and every time they plan to spend a long weekend in Hawaii, something happens and they can’t go. "It’s a question of what you have time to enjoy and here, the dual personality of the Porsche, both a good wife and an exciting mistress simultaneously, serves both as transportation and a joy in every spare moment." Not bad. The response to our request for a Regional Dues has been very gratifying and willallow ustocontinueour high level of programs and communications with our growing membership (over 550).

A large and vociferous crowd from both regions showed up to cheer on their favorites. San Gabriel got off to an early lead the first few innings, but as the game progressed, LA began to play smoother, but it all came apart in the bottom of the 6th inning when San Gabriel combined a few bloop hits, a few errors and a home run to rack up 10 runs in the inning. We lost track of the score (San Gabriel kept the official scorebook) but the final
The picnic was also great fun. This was a family affair and the club grill was well used for everything from hot dogs to steak. The game was such fun that more games are plarned for next year with other regions participating, perhaps including a tournament. With a little more organization and some practice, LA can be competitive next year.

RSCHE PAKADE the traditional esses until turn 6. Turn 6 had some pylons added to keep drivers from connecting with the infamous turn 6 wall (I believe only one driver beat the odds). Turns 7, 7A were traditional, which preceeded the fun. As you came into the dogleg before turn 9, drivers continued straight onto the drag strip road, made a 90° left, a 45° right and entered a 6-pylon slalom leading into turn 9. There were some spectacular spins (me, too) in this area. A spectator grand stand was stationed here and was often full of fans watching their heroes making fools of themselves, Finally, competitors accelerated through turn 9 and exited the course just before the start of the pit wall. It was a real "autocross" course and the results bore that out. Competitors with autocross experience and car setups did real well.., others did not. But it was fun. During the week, various special events were conducted (art show, tennis and golf tournaments, meetings,
films, etc). If you cared to be kept busy for seven days, it was not difficult! The time trial awards banquet was held Thursday night, followed by the Yokohama Tire Rallye Friday. This was a simple, but challenging 4 hour-long Time and Dis-
tancerallye, whichfollowedmostlyuninterestingroadsthrough Orange and Riverside counties. Thank goodness for air conditioning in my 911 . .. it was real hot! Friday evening was an informal BBQ around the pool and Saturday evening featured the final awards banquet, during which trophies were handed out for the tech quiz (held Saturday morning), art show, rallye and assorted other awards. We had a great time meeting some old friends from past Parades and meeting new ones for future Parades. Next year’s Paradewill be held in Portland, Maine. Sounds like a great week’s vacation to me! I hope to see some of you there! ¯ Tom Marx

current advertising base and to broaden it with new advertisers. I have become aware of a major stumbling block to this, however. Some of our advertisers have expressed doubts as to whether their ads have resulted in business for them. I know that many of our readers rely on our ads

owners and transfers to LA Region. These people are looking for service facilities, dealerships, accessories and services not necessarily related to their Porsches. Besides word of mouth (which may have started with prior ads) our advertising is very likely a major source of new business for our advertisers. However, there is no way to measure this for the business unless the customer mentions the ad when he visits the advertiser. This is very likely a rare practice. It’s not natural to mention someone’s ad to them. Please do this. Please thank our advertisers. The next time you have your Porsche serviced by one of our advertisers, tell them you appreciate their support of the Porscherama. Tell them you saw their ad even if you are an old customer. It wouldn’t hurt to pick up the phone to

CE’s Long Block Exchange
Competition Engineering is well-known for being your neighborhood VW and Porsche machine shop. World-wide. That’s our business. And though we sell our popular T-shirts all over the globe, that’snot our business. Yet all of you may be unaware that CE is also a highly-respected builder of 4-cylinder Porsche engines (unless you’re a regular reader of VW& Porsche and some other publications in which we’ve been featured). That, too, is our business. And we’ve recently celebrated our 20~h ~.ear in this business ! At CE we keep several 4-cylinder Porsche Long Blocks in stock for immediate delivery. They can be purchased outright or exchange. If you desire, you can purchase your rebuilt engine, pay the core charge, then return your engine core up to 3months later for refund. (Of course refunds are subject to CE’s inspection and acceptance of your rebuildable core.) If we ship your engine, we require $100 deposit on the special wooden packing crate. And that’s also refundable. All CE exchange engines are built to new standard specifications ! If you desire your own engine rebuilt or a modified or special engine, please allow 2-4 weeks for processing. Every CE exchange rebuilt engine includes the following NEW parts: ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯
German Crankshaft ¯ All Valves and Springs German Rods (912 type) ¯ All Valve Guides German 105 Camshaft ¯ All Gaskets & Seals German Mahle Pistons & Cylinders ¯ All Bearings Iskenderian Tappets ¯ All Pushrod Tubes
