HEAD LIGHTS I f~l ~ood about leavin~ the Clob at this point. In the past three years, your Board has turned the Club around financially f~om a position of operating at ~urrent healthy bank account with all bills ~c¢ounted for and a ~y~tem in place to see that we stay that way. Membership has had a steady growth and w~ have even seen the birth of a now R~gion in an aroa wo proviously served. Activity has taken the biggest change in the last three years. From a strong emphasis on racing we have directed our activity towards more passive events, including partying more, and that seems to be in next year’s plan as well. Time Trials, Slaloms, Concours and Rallye’s used to be handled on a Regional basis but are now being directed through the Zone. The cause for this centralization is to offer these activites to a broad membership at a much lower cost than could have been handled formerly.
I have been writing th~s article, Headlights, tor what seems to be a long time. For the last three years as President, prior to that as Vice President and then before that as Tech Chair. Now. this is my last article as President and

DRIVING SCHOOL
A BIG SUCCESS On October 11-12, Zone 8 and Los Angeles Region conducted a two-day driver’s school and modified time trial at Willow Springs Raceway. The event was planned and executed capably by our own Connie Fern and Zone 8 competition chairman Judd Boykin. Over 75 students attended the school, which included classroom instruction and several different handling exer-
While other students watch, one driver puts his black
cises, including skid pad training, accident avoidance, slalom training and high speed car handling on the full 2.5 mile Willow Springs road course,
944 through its paces on the skid pad, a 100’ diameter circle that allows a driver to sense handling dynamics at a safe speed.
A party was conducted Saturday evening and apparently a great time was had by all. The event concluded with a modified time trial Sunday afternoon. The next driver’s school event is scheduled for April 25-26, 1987, at Las Vegas International Raceway.
A kidney-shaped driving course was set up on the Willow Springs skid pad, providing students with a slow-speed handling exercise.

TAILLIGHTS As noted in the article about the PCA/LA Rallye, we had a great turnout. One half of the entrants were beginners, A questionnaire at the end indicated over 20 LA members interested in joining an LA region rallye team. (We will report more of this in the future.) This indicates that there is a great interest among members who haven’t been active to participate in events without having to compete with the more experienced members. When you think about it, that seems reasonable. It is probably very intimidating to someone who has never rallied, time trialed, slalomed or concoursed before, to compete against those of us with years of experience under our belts. Also, there are likely many members who want to participate who are not highly competitive but want to join the fun on an eas~er scale. Whatever the reason, it looks like eventmasters are going to have to keep this in mind when planning events. As we close out the year and look forward to an active and fun 1987, we want to givea special thanks to Max Dial Porsche-Audi who has been a frequent sponsor of LA region events throughout the year. While we have had help from other sponsors throughout the year, Max has been there on almost every event. He even appeared at the rallye to present the trophies. We are truly grateful for this support. It allows us to make the events extra special and keep the costs down. We also want to thank our advertisers without whom the Porscherama would not be possible in its present form.
