The Circuit
and a word or two from the President's seat
Although I won't cover it until the August Circuit, the
Tour to the Parnelli Jones Collection we did a few
weeks ago was absolutely fabulous. I expected we
would be in and out in about an hour. After three
hours we weren't even beginning to slow down. The
information and stories we were getting from Jim
Dilamarter were priceless. How Cosworth's 4-cylinder
turbo motor came to dominate Indy was just one of
them. We've got more of this type of event in the
hopper, so stay tuned.
The Parade is coming in another month. For those of
you attending, consider the organized tour that has
been organized (page 13). I'm amazed at how quickly
this Parade sold out. GPX will be well represented.
This is the 3rd parade held in Portland, and my
second there.
For those of us who remember Ascot Park in
Gardena, and the decades of auto racing legends
and memories it produced, check out the Legends of
Ascot event this October (page 19). It is held at the
Perris Speedway and brings out some of the true
legends of motor racing history.
In September we've organized a 2-3 day trip to Palm
Springs. Besides some fabulous food, we'll be touring
the Palm Springs Air Museum and the Robert Pond
Car Collection (page 8). This will be a fun get away.
Besides these two scheduled tours, there is a great
variety of other things to do and a great time of the
year to be in Palm Springs.
GPX Email Distribution List
I didn't get a written article on our recent Concours at
the Queen Mary. There were so many great photos, I
just did a big photo layout. Because of a music event
the night before, we were not able to be in the park
location we've had for so many years. Instead we
were in a large pedestrian area right in front of the
ship. While there were some very nice things about
the location, it was very difficult for people to find.
Several of us spent the day between the two sites
directing traffic to the new location.
We had a great turnout, but there were still people
who never did find us. I personally missed two cars,
getting there just in time to see them get on the
freeway. I gave chase to quite a few that day, but
those two got away. One older, silver 911 must have
thought I wanted to race (I was in my white F-150
truck). He never let me get close. Oh well!!!
PCNAs Rick Perkins and his wife, Nanci brought their
Porsche tractor. I love seeing those things running
around. The tractor was flanked on the lawn by the
50th Anniversary Club Coupes of Marty Noonan and
Gary Peterson. Some great photo ops.
Peter Ross had a beautiful (and very tasty) cake
made to celebrate the Grand Prix Region's 25th
anniversary. It was a good size cake, but didn't
last long. We are also being presented with a 25th
Anniversary banner by PCA this week. Our annual
Holiday Party this year will culminate our anniversary
celebrations.
I hope you are all enjoying the summer. I look forward
to seeing you at an upcoming event. There are many
to choose from.

Breakfast Club Meeting — May 6
by Peter Ross
WOW!!! That’s the only
way to describe my feelings
as I drove westbound on
Sepulveda Boulevard and
crossed Normandie Avenue
and peered into the parking
lot of Ricky and Ronnie’s
Cruise-In Diner.
On the first Saturday in May, I arrived at 9:00AM
and already, there were about 20 Porsches lined up
in the parking stalls. Before the morning was done,
there were close to 40 cars that ultimately showed
up for the monthly Breakfast Club Meeting. Included
among the attendees, was Rod Guyton, Councilman
for the City of Torrance, who not only brought his
beautiful Porsche Cabriolet, but had his friend Adam
Geczi who purchased his previous Porsche Cabriolet
drive to the meeting as well. So Councilman Guyton
was personally responsible for two Porsche Cabriolets
being present at Ricky and Ronnie’s. This meeting
was one for the record and a total blast to boot.
In addition to Councilman Guyton, we had a host
of people show up that greatly increased our
numbers. We had some of our veteran members
such as Barbara Gillam, Jim and Vicki Scrimger, and
Tim Bryant. We had several new members such
as Frank Arias, Bill and Beeber Clevenger,
Ron Laforest, Dan Stern and Mike Wilson,
along with potential new members Mikael
Svensson (who I found washing a brand new
Boxster in his driveway only days before)
and Jimmie Mitchell, who happened to be
driving by and saw all the Porsches in the lot
and stopped to find out what was going on.
Michael Dolphin addressed the meeting and
emphasized one major area that the club is
all about. And that is the fact that it really
doesn’t matter what kind of a Porsche you
drive, or how old it is. We look at the older
ones as thoroughly and lovingly as we do
the newer ones. Three of the bigger hits on
this day were Porsche 356’s that belonged to
Mike Wilson, Peter Novak and Jim Scrimger,
three eye-catching beauties they were.
14
The attending club
members were: Frank
Arias, Tim Bryant, Bill and
Beeber Clevenger, Bill Davis, Norma
Ann Dawson, Michael Dolphin, Robert Friedman
(who’s a member of the San Gabriel Region), Adam
Geczi and his daughter, Barbara Gillam, Armando
Gutierrez (whose car is being painted, so he brought
really nice photos of the work in progress), Rod
Guyton (potential new member), Ty Ingram (who
wound up with a Starsky and Hutch parking spot),
Patricia Geary Johnson, Roger Jozel, Ron La Forest,
Bob and Karen Lewis, Phil Millard, Rick Mills, Claude
Mitchell, Jimmie Mitchell (potential new member),
Harry Rippenbaum, Paul Rodelo, Peter Ross, Greg
Schill, Jack and Patti Sciranka, Jim and Vicki Scrimger,
Ron Shannon, Bob Silagy, Norm Stone, Dan Stern,
Mikael Svensson (potential new member), Gregory
White, and Mike Wilson.
If you’ve not been to one of our Breakfast Club
Meetings, they’re getting bigger and better. The new
breakfast buffet style is really working out fine, and
the personnel at Ricky and Ronnie’s has become very
proficient at staging the entire process. So clean up
the Porsche and bring your questions to the next
meeting…we’ll be waiting. We still have plenty of
parking available.

4th Annual Legends of Ascot
October 21, 2006
Perris Auto Speedway, Perris,
The event honors drivers like Jimmy
Oskie, Wally Pankratz, Walt James,
Jack Bruner and Leland McSpadden,
JFK car owners Jack and Wilda
Kendoll, and aluminum block engine
builder Ed Donovan, with the possibility of a “special guest” honoree.
Keeping with our tradition, our goal is to preserve the memories of those
great days of racing at Ascot and of the people who participated, and
pass them on to future generations of racers and fans alike.
Racing enthusiasts from all over the US and Canada have enjoyed what
has now become the largest open wheel racers reunion in the country.
The event celebrates the people involved in the 33 years of operation
from 1957 to 1990, at Ascot Park, in Gardena, California. Ascot was
the nationally renown premier ½ mile dirt track on the West Coast, and
many of the drivers of the era were starters of the Indianapolis 500
during the period. Past honorees include Parnelli Jones, Hal Minyard,
Allen Heath, Dean Thompson, Ted Halibrand, Bobby Hogle and J. C.
Agajanian to name a few.
