PRESIDENT’S PAGE
New Board Members Needed!
Do you love your Porsche
Club? I know I do! Where can
you pay less than $4 a month to
have volunteers create fun, active,
safe, relaxing events for members
like you? I don’t know of too
many clubs that offer what we do
for less than the price of one cappuccino! So there it the catch –
yeah you know it was coming.…
A few of our board members
are “termed out” and we need
your nominations for the new
Draft Picks! For non-football
fans this is kind of like the NFL–
but with NO PAY! At any rate,
we need new blood, new ideas
and fresh enthusiasm to keep
this party rocking. So, as you
are reading this, please consider
joining the board. Pick up the
phone and call me about what is
expected.
We continue to have some
great driving, social and planning
events happening this summer.
Please look to our website to

President

anniversary weekend and we
hope to have some folks from
PCA National as well as other
important people out to this
event. To learn more, please
contact George Batcabe by email
[email protected].
Last and not least, I have an
important announcement–Lake
Tahoe will be hosting the National Porsche Escape in the fall of
2016. No details yet, except that
we don’t have to do the heavy lifting for this event.
PCA National is doing evrything but we will be asked to
volunteer for as many positions
as possible. It will be fun and
a great event with which to be
involved. We will be asking for all
the help we can get in September
of 2016. We asked – we got!

Santa Barbara Region president Doreen Pankow welcomes
50th anniversary participants at SB Porsche dealer
Return to Santa Barbara
OK, your question is: Why are
we talking about the Santa Barbara Region? And the answer is:
Cam Warren was their founding
president in 1964. We returned
to the scene of the crime for their
50th anniversary celebration with
Cam being one of their honored
guests.
SBR is a pretty large region
with more than 700 full members
and 500 regional members. In
2013 they held 76 events. Up
until 1964 Santa Barbara was
part of the Los Angeles Region.
In June of that year, Cam and 34
Su Kemper
SNR Member
other Porsche enthusiasts were
successful in getting the new
region chartered by PCA. Also
that year the Porsche Parade was
held there. Cam was the region’s
president in 1964 and 1965.
For their 45th anniversary
and now this one, the celebrations have been daytime affairs.
Saturday began with a continental breakfast at the local Porsche
dealer, followed by a 2-1/2 hour
scenic driving tour, north, into
the Santa Ynez Mountains and
return to SB.
But holy cow, Batman – there
were 140 cars on the tour! I
think that’s larger than the tour
groups they had at the Monterey Parade. But things went
smoothly, the scenery was nice,
the sun was sizzling and we
wound up back in Santa Barbara
despite the hordes of Saturday
traffic on the 101.
Following the tour, a lavish
buffet luncheon was served at
the Fess Parker Resort by the
ocean. The festivities were held in
an outdoor, circular area called
the “Rotunda.” There were four
Porsches on display and it looked
like the only way to get there was
through the lobby. The cost of
the luncheon was really minimal
for what we got, $40 per person,
but I found out the actual cost to
the region was $60/head and they
(the region) subsidized the additional $20 per person. That was
a really nice gesture as there were
283 people at the luncheon!
Also attending was Santa
Barbara’s mayor, a state senator,
a local councilman, PCA National Treasurer Tom Gorsuch
and Zone 8 Representative Tom
Brown of San Diego as well as
nine other past presidents of
the region. Current president
Doreen Pankow along with her
crew did a terrific job in organizing this epic event. And “epic”
is a good word because with 290
participants this was the largest
SBR event ever held.
After lunch there was a formal program. Cam got to say a
few words, and then they had a
drawing for raffle prizes. There
were three prizes and tickets cost
$100 each and they only sold
500. First prize was a Fast Lane
Treffen Tour for two in Europe,
including airfare, hotel, meals
and the use of a Porsche, value:
$20,000! Prize two was a Porsche
Driving Experience for 2, all
inclusive, value $10,000-$11,000
and the third prize was a set of
OEM tires for your Porsche.
Sadly, none of the winners were
Cam Warren, SBR president 1964-65 and current
president, Doreen Pankow
present.
At the recent Monterey Porsche
Parade SBR was named “Region
of the Year” for the second time.
They also won in 2001 and I
should note that both times were
when they had female presidents.
(Oops, that’s sexist, isn’t it…?)
They had the large traveling
trophy from PCA, the “Region of
the Year” being the only annual
award presented by the Porsche
family. Their newsletter “DER
AUSPUFF” (named by Cam)
won first in their category and
they won second overall for the
PCA National Public Service
Award.
This award includes community service activities as well
as charitable donations. Last
year they contributed $6000 to
various charities including their
primary charity, the Gold Coast
Veterans Foundation. They also
donate toys for kids at Christmas
and other things like that. But
their big effort was the “Tire
Rack Street Survival School”–a
hands-on driving experience in
real world conditions for 32 teens
between the ages of 15-17, who
have a drivers permit or license.
The program is wildly popular,
the region does no advertising and people find out about it
by word-of-mouth. This year’s
event, planned for November, is
being supported by PCA and is
already sold out.
Meanwhile, back in the real
world, we took a leisurely amble
back to Reno, past the dead crops
of the San Fernando Valley, over
to Oakhurst and then up Hwy.
4 for a white-knuckle romp
over the ever delightful 8700-ft.
Ebbett’s Pass.
Markleeville
Monitor Pass Drive & Potluck
On a bright, sunny Saturday,
August 2, 15 cars gathered south
of Reno to be joined by five more
south of Carson City. Practically
all models from the 1950s to 2014
were represented. We proceeded
along Jacks Valley Road through
the quaint little town of Genoa via
Kingsbury Grade to South Lake
Tahoe where–in spite of clear,
printed instructions–a couple of
cars missed the turnoff to Pioneer
Trail and had to double back.
Eventually, all cars gathered near
the top of Luther Pass on Highway
89 for a stretch and pictures.
Down the mountain through
Hope Valley and Woodfords, we
arrived at Turtle Rock Campground and Picnic Area, 2 miles
east of Markleeville. We were
greeted by several tablecloth
covered picnic tables and Dick
Ragnar Kuehnert
SNR Member
Bottom, who had driven there in
the early morning and reserved
the area for us. Soon the tables
were covered with a great variety
of tempting food that magically
appeared out of our little cars.
Nobody left hungry.
After lunch, several cars returned home directly through
Carson Valley. Others proceeded
through Markleeville on Highway
89 over Monitor Pass to Highway
395. Only 1-1/2 miles from the
junction with Highway 395, the
1976 912E suffered a sudden and
total ignition failure. Luckily, Dick
Bottom in his 2013 Cayman was
following. No roadside fix was
possible,;cellphone service was
not available. Near a fire station
on Hwy 395, Dick was able to call
for help. Soon, a tow truck from
Walker, CA arrived and the little
red car was transported home.
What had happened? A few
weeks earlier, a failing Pertronix
breakerless ignition was replaced
with OEM Bosch ignition points.
A little plastic cam between the
points that rides on the center post
of the distributor and causes them
to open and close had broken
off. An easy fix. Don’t blame the
38-year-old Porsche. A brand new
$6 part had failed.
From the responses I received,
people enjoyed the drive. Let’s do
it again some time in the future.

would you suggest?
