Region Coordinator Gary Peterson Porsche Club of America Santa Barbara Region May 2007 3 President’s Column By Nicolas Liakas I am pleased to report that the state of our club is excellent! We celebrate the monthly return of our beloved Der Auspuff, attendance at our breakfasts continues to surpass our expectations, participation at our monthly tours is phenomenal, and a growing number of members are offering their assistance in planning and executing our various functions. What could be better? Furthermore, we take great pleasure and pride in informing you that two of our dedicated and loyal members have been nomi- nated for national honors bestowed by the national office of PCA. Mike, Pamuela, Christopher, and Julie Hodson have been nominated for PCA Family of the Year! The reasons are quite simple and self-evident. For four years, the Hodson family has managed our Goodie Store recording exceptional sales and revenue for the club. They attended 99% of all club activities and staffed the table displaying our goods. They have hosted Board of Directors meetings at their home. They have used their airport hangar as a storage facility for our belongings, and even hosted a movie night at that site. Christopher and Julie have staffed the security gate at the Camarillo airport, helped transport and shuttle drivers at our autocross venues, and have greeted arriving guests. Barry Weinstein has been nominated for The Lazar-Blanchard Memorial Award for the PCA Enthusiast of the Year! Shortly after joining our region, Barry and Valerie took over the management of our activities and greatly expanded our offerings. They have attended virtually all of our breakfasts, each and every monthly tour, and attended the Parade Portland in 2006. Due to Barry’s leadership and enthusiasm, attendance at our events keeps growing, and the joy of participating has become infectious. Please join me in congratulating the above on the honor of being nominated, and let’s all wish them well in their respective categories. Their nomination and hoped-for selection is also an honor to our region as it continues to foster such dedication among its membership. Thank you one and all. Board of Directors Names 2007 Charity of the Year By Nicolas Liakas Serving All Of Your Insurance Needs Welcome to Castroll Insurance, where great service and affordable insurance meet. We are glad to help you with any of your insurance needs, including: Auto Insurance Homeowners Insurance Apartment Buildings Insurance Business Insurance Workers Compensation Life and Health Insurance Contractors Insurance 4 May 2007 Santa Barbara Region Porsche Club of America The Santa Barbara Region Board of Directors at its April 11, 2007 meeting chose the TEACh Scholarship Program of Ventura County as the club’s charity beneficiary for calendar year 2007. The TEACh Scholarship Fund provides college and trade school funding for Ventura County foster care youth. As presently constituted, TEACh is a project of the Ventura County Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. VCCF controls the endowment funds and oversees the process of selecting the recipients. The project anticipates forming its own 501(c)(3) corporation within the next six months to better enable it to raise funds for its endowment account. Larry Matheney was part of the founding group in 1994 and currently serves as Chair. In its thirteen-year history, the fund has awarded more than $125,000 in scholarships, helping more than 100 young people further their educations. It has just completed the screening for the 2007/08 school year by awarding $28,000 in total help to 15 foster care youth. The amount of the club’s contribution will be determined at the end of this calendar year. Editor’s Column By Janice Herndon Being a member of the Porsche Club of Santa Barbara means something different to everyone. Being new to California and to Santa Barbara, I joined the club because I love Porsches and wanted to get to know other people with the same interest. Becoming the editor of the Der Auspuff has been more rewarding than I anticipated in that my new 600+ friends are fun, enthusiastic, welcoming, compassionate, interesting, humorous, and much more. I have met only a few of you but look forward to meeting you all at some point. I recommend that other new members volunteer at the numerous events planned and discover some of the great people in our club. You will never wonder what to do when you have free time as there is always something exciting happening, usually centered around our beloved Porsches. Please remember to keep both hands on the wheel, watch the road, and drive safe. Porsche Club of America Santa Barbara Region May 2007 5 Winding Roads Poker Run and Pizza Article by Michael Jacobs and photos by Mike Turek. March 24, 2007 -- The cards were definitely in our favor as this year’s poker run went off as perfectly planned. Unfortunately, last year’s attempt was sidetracked by a large tanker truck which had overturned and closed the freeway. For today’s event, we would meet up in Santa Barbara in the Sears parking lot. Fifty people in 27 nicely cleaned Porsches would try their luck of the cards. Among the gamblers were two father-anddaughter teams. They were Gary Weaver and his daughter, Stacy; and Larry Stoops and his daughter, Brandy. Also trying their hands were some first timers: Anuroop (webmaster) and Rashi Gupta driving a dark blue Boxster; Gody and Suzanne Weniger in their new cobalt blue Boxster; and David and Sandy Kinder in a mint condition black 1956 356. Today’s event would consist of drawing one card at five different locations. The first draw was in the Sears parking lot and was dealt by Barry (smooth hands) Weinstein. From there we drove onto Highway 192 to collect our second card from Michael (I don’t know how to play poker) Jacobs. Continuing on this beautiful tree-lined highway to the third draw by Luz and Dave (I’ve got a joke for you) Mosesson that took you to this remote park called Toro Canyon Park. For the fourth draw we continued on 192 until we hit Highway 150 which took us to the Lake Casitas entrance where dealers Mike and Karen (we’ve got your winning card) Turek were located. From there we continued on highway 150 into Ojai to our final draw and lunch at Boccali’s for pizza, salad, and drink. It started out as an overcast day, but as the drive progressed and the cards were dealt it turned into another beautiful day. All be- 6 May 2007 ing said, it seemed everyone enjoyed lunch, the drive, and most of all the camaraderie of fellow PCA members. Surprisingly, it seemed that everyone was able to find their way and make all the stops. Lastly, a special note of thanks to all those who helped make this event a success: Dave and Luz Mosesson, Mike and Karen Turek, Michael Jacobs, and last, and certainly not least, our activities co-chairs Barry and Valerie Wein- Santa Barbara Region Porsche Club of America stein who put this whole event together. By the way, those of you that had the winning poker hands, the dealers are still waiting for their cut of the action (ha ha). Look forward to seeing you all at the next SBR event. R.U.F. Committee Visits Home of Will Rogers Article and Photos by Nicolas Liakas March 29, 2007 was one of those perfect SoCal days. Bright sunny skies accompanied by gentle temperatures and caressing breezes greeted the 25 members of our club who traveled in 11 Porsches, one BMW and one Oldsmobile 442 to the Pacific Palisades to tour the home of Will Rogers, an American legend. The adventure began at the Camarillo Airport Café. The group then traveled through the Santa Monica Mountains and along Mulholland Highway to Malibu Canyon, and then on to PCH southbound until it reached Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades. A few miles inland and the retirees and unemployed travelers entered the grounds of the state historic park. The almost 200 acres were alive with the colors of spring, and although it could not be seen, the Pacific Ocean provided a slightly chilling effect on the sun’s hot rays. Waiting for the group’s arrival was Mike Allen, the park’s historian and trivia cham- pion. Mike took the pack into the home of Will Rogers, first stopping in the wing that housed important visitors to the ranch. The list of dignitaries includes the names of Presidents, monarchs, religious leaders, Hollywood legends, and so on. The north wing served as the residence for the Rogers family, and wife Betty’s touch was easy to see. The three children also left their mark, and the abode was sprinkled with numerous photographs of all family members. The ranch was built in the late 1920s into the mid-1930s, and was completed just six months before Will Rogers’ unfortunate death in an airplane crash in 1935. The 90-minute guided tour provided a unique insight to Rogers’ life, and the simple values he cherished. We also learned of his eagerness to help those in distress during the Great Depression, and several tales were offered of his generosity to and compassion for the suffering man during those difficult times. We learned about the soul of the man, as well as his fame and fortune. Immediately following the tour, the group seized several picnic tables on the grounds and launched into a luncheon feast. There were plenty of salads, sandwiches and soft drinks, as well as chocolate cake. By 2:30 in the afternoon, everyone returned to his/her Porsche and commenced the journey home. It was a great day for all who participated. If you want to join this committee on its mid-week driving adventures, contact Nicolas Liakas at [email protected] or 818/706-6016. The State Parks guide, Mike Allen, leading the discussion on the history of the home. Porsche Club of America Santa Barbara Region May 2007 7 April Camarillo Breakfast Meeting Article by Barry and Valerie Weinstein April 7, 2007 - The day before Easter Sunday was foggy and overcast, but still we managed to draw 113 PCA/SBR members in 50 Porsches and 13 alternate vehicles to our monthly breakfast club meeting at the Way Point Café in Camarillo. This being “alternate vehicle” month, a number of people brought their “other” means of transportation and displayed them at the meeting. The parking area in front of the café was filled with Porsches, a Honda Gold Wing, a few Harley-Davidson motorcycles, a vintage Rolls Royce, a Corvette, Mercedes, Lotus, a few Ferraris, etc. Even our President, Nicolas Liakas, came to the meeting on his alternative vehicle – a shiny new skateboard. Not to be outdone by his boss, Vice-President Gary, “The Big Kahuna” Gasperino, our resident aging surfer, arrived early atop his vintage longboard. We’d also like to welcome a few new members who showed up for the meeting. Oscar Briones, from Santa Barbara, came in his 2001 C4 Coupe. John and Bianca DiGuiseppe, from Westlake Village, drove to the Way Point Cafe in their ’07 Carrera S. John Shutt, who is not exactly a new member, joined us for breakfast as well. He actually became a member of SBR/ PCA in 1979. John drives an ’04 C4S. This was the first time John has ever come to a breakfast meeting, although he’s been in the club for close to thirty years! Hope we don’t have to wait another thirty years to share breakfast with you again, John. The meetings cover events coming up as well as provide information that is not as readily found elsewhere. We welcome everyone to attend these meetings and meet your fellow Porsche drivers. Once again we would like to remind you all that we need help in manning the gate at the airport. We are fortunate that we are allowed to park all of our vehicles alongside the taxi way in front of the Way Point Café during our meetings. However, part of the deal is we must control the gate and only allow members of our club on the airport grounds. It takes very little time and will be a big help to your fellow club members who because of lack of assistance are forced to stand at the gate for lengthy periods. We once figured out that if everyone who attends the meetings took their turn as gatekeepers, no one would have to spend more than 20 minutes a year at this job! Those of you willing to help out, please contact our Vice President, Gary Gasperino, and let him know of your availability. New members John and Bianca DiGuiseppe from Westlake Village. They drive a 2007 997S. John Shutt and his 2004 C4S. He lives in Camarillo. He has been a member since 1979. Brad and Judy Hunt and their 1966 Corvette. Fully restored by Brad personally. Barry Weinstein greeting members. 8 May 2007 Santa Barbara Region Porsche Club of America Oscar Briones from Santa Barbara and his 2004 Carrera 4. April Santa Barbara Breakfast Meeting Article by Dan Lindsay and Photos by Nick Liakas I nearly didn’t find a spot left on Stearns Wharf for the monthly breakfast meeting on April 14th. It seems that you have to leave earlier and earlier for these events. A total of some 58 Porsche enthusiasts woke early Saturday morning to join in for breakfast on one of a handful of ‘alternative vehicle month’ activities. We had 26 beautiful Porsches and 7 of those alternate vehicles (from Ferrari to Ford) assembled on the wharf under overcast skies. Forever punctual, Nick Liakas got the assemblage going at 9:00 AM and began by introducing a few prospective members and first timers to the Santa Barbara breakfast. Henry Bartley of Santa Barbara drives a 2000 C4 Cab. He came to check out the breakfast and the club and became a member that day. Ron and Sherry Maudsley of Santa Barbara own a 2005 Carrera GT and were also scoping out the activities. Relatively new PCA member Joe Pesci of Oxnard brought guest Steve Olander to see how Porsche clubbers find any excuse to drive their cars. Mike Zois from Santa Barbara was welcomed back to the region after a couple of years away. Wayne Veca brought his 1989 Carrera Targa. Just around the corner is the May 12th Zone 8 El Camino Real Rally, which is chaired by Joe Schneider. Get online to download the rally information. Vice President Gary Gasperino reminded us to volunteer to man the access gate for the Camarillo airport breakfasts. The task should not be left to the same people every month. Talk to him about taking a thirtyminute time slot. The Santa Barbara Region is a diverse club with most members apparently centered in the Thousand Oaks and Ventura area, so it was a pleasure to see such participation centered about Santa Barbara. We nearly ran out of seats in The Harbor Restaurant this time! Nick reminded us of upcoming events such as the trip to Yosemite in May, adding that four slots are open again after recent cancellations. (Contact him soon if you want to get in!) He also spoke of the upcoming autocross on April 22nd and Gimmick Rally and picnic of April 28th. Dave Stone spoke about this year’s Porsche Parade at San Diego and advised that last year’s successful food bank drive would be repeated again with the trek starting in Solvang with an overnight stay in Palm Springs on the way to San Diego. Again, we’re always looking for an excuse to drive! Nick also reintroduced Janice Herndon who has taken on the role of the Der Auspuff editor. She successfully published her first Der Auspuff for April 2007! We’re back to a monthly magazine with everyone’s help with articles. Contact Janice with your story ideas.

Nick is to contact Zone 8 Bev Frome to apprise her of our intentions. Nick received a request by Sport Airplanes of Camarillo wishing to make a presentation at the Camarillo breakfast introducing themselves to our group. The board members unanimously agreed not to support this request. Nick reported that member, Michael Zois, has an interest in pursuing information on hosting an autocross at the Earl Warren Showgrounds in Santa Barbara. It was decided to allow Michael to investigate the possibility for a 2008 autocross at the Showgrounds. Kent is planning to have the 356 folks meet at the Camarillo breakfast and caravan to the North meets South 356 event in Solvang on May 5. It was impressed upon Kent to be sure to have waivers signed prior to departure. 8:55 Meeting adjourned.

Respectfully submitted, David Stone Membership Chairman Porsche Magazines: Subscriptions and Web Sites Article Ken Koop—The Yellowstone Region (Old Faithful Newsletter) There are some excellent magazines available both in hard copy and on the internet for anyone interested in learning more about Porsches. Most of these magazines publish articles on both old and new models as well as comparisons on various types of Porsches. I will try to describe the flavor and quality of each one of the magazines listed below. Excellence magazine-www.excellencemag.com --- This is a high quality magazine with feature articles on all Porsches ranging from 356’s to the current 997. They include comparisons, do it yourself, Tuner and race preparation articles. This magazine has high quality pictures and is very well written. If you subscribe to one Porsche magazine, this is the one to have. Published nine times a year. GT Porsche-www.gtpurelyporsche.com ---A high quality, all encompassing magazine published in England with a British flavor and a good perspective on the European view of the car world. This magazine features articles on the entire range of Porsche mod- els. GT Purely Porsche is another excellent all around magazine and a worthwhile read. Published monthly. 911 & Porsche World-www.chpltd.com --- A British all encompassing magazine. Probably one step below the two magazines mentioned above. A quality magazine with articles on all models of Porsches being represented. It covers the European racing scene. Published monthly. Total 911-www.total911.co.uk --- A high quality British magazine covering only 911’s. The articles are informative and the photography is very good. If 911’s are your main passion, then this might be your magazine. Published monthly. Christophorus-www.porsche.com/english/usa/news/christophorus --- A high quality magazine with excellent photography and published by Porsche featureing articles focused primarily on current models and occasionally on older and race models. It covers driving tours in Europe as well as dining and hotel information along the route. Also, it gives you an inside look at what is going on at Porsche in the Corporate Offices, Exclusive Department, Production Plants, museum and what Porsche is currently offering to its customers. This is not a car enthusiast’s magazine but offers more of a general overview on “Porsche Culture”. If behind the scene information and viewing some beautiful European scenery is important to you, then this might be a magazine you want to subscribe to. Published six times per year. Velocity-www.porscheownersclub.org -Published by the “Porsche Owners Club” geared to Porsche Club Racing and features racing types of articles. Club races and results are published, do it yourself articles, and an occasional article on current non-race models are included. The quality of the magazine is below that of all the magazines listed above, but if you like club racing and what is going on in that arena, this magazine offers the very best coverage. Published quarterly. 356 Registry-www.356registry.org --356 Registry Magazine provides coverage of the 356 type Porsches. The magazine is published six times a year. Panorama-www.pca.org --- Everyone in the club gets “Panorama” as a club member, since everyone is familiar with the magazine, I am listing this FYI. Porsche Club of America Santa Barbara Region May 2007 13 Goodie Store Report May 2007 Get Your Goodies at the Goodie Store Hello from Jeanne, John, and Jacob, your new Goodie Store people. We have big shoes to fill following Pamuela and Mike, so please be patient, as we get up to speed. You can find us at the Saturday morning breakfasts in both Camarillo and Santa Barbara at the beginning of each month. Also, we will be at special events such as Autofest and Concours. Since it is difficult to display our entire inventory at the breakfasts, we will display a complete listing of our available inventory at each breakfast for you to peruse. If we don’t have an item with us, we can figure out how to get it to you if you want something.

Dave Stone Porsche Club of America Santa Barbara Region May 2007 17 A DAY AT MEGUIAR’S (Or, skipping the Camarillo breakfast to learn how to wash my car) Article Bill Sampson On April 7, 2007, Meguiar’s Inc., the wellknown supplier of car care products and a staunch supporter of our car hobby, hosted a number of car enthusiasts at the company’s international headquarters in Irvine. Tom MacDonald, a Meguiar’s rep and Presidentelect of the Southern California Woodie Club, invited several of his woodie friends, including this author, to a class on caring for a vehicle’s appearance. Tom was ably assisted by the course instructor, Tim Larson. I was particularly fascinated by the history of the company itself. Frank Meguiar, Jr., the founder, initially developed a furniture polish at about the time that horseless carriages came into being. Frank realized that the finishes were similar and soon developed a product better than any of the other furniture polishes and also recognized a market for the same product line for use on automobiles. I remember as a young boy reading the Pasadena Star News and seeing reports of industrial league softball and basketball leagues and hearing of “Mirror Glaze” as one of the better competitors. I did not realize until early this month that I had, as a preteen, been introduced to one of America’s best known family businesses, Meguiar’s. Barry Meguiar, the grandson of the founder, upon graduation from Pasadena City College in 1964, went to work for the company. He has grown it from the $600,000 company he joined to the international powerhouse he now heads. The company has for decades been a leading supplier to the commercial market for car appearance products but Barry recognized that there are millions of car guys out there who wanted similar products they could use to produce, in their home garages, 18 May 2007 show car finishes for their own vehicles. Permit me this digression: I use the term “car guys” specifically including women, including our own hardworking car guy and editor, Janice Herndon. Our instructor, Tim, was probably less than half the age of the average student but was nevertheless very knowledgeable about his company’s products and its vision. The employees obviously share the owner’s passion for excellence. We were taught to eschew detergent for washing our cars – and yes, Meguiar’s does recommend washing before undertaking further work. Many of us for years have dried our vehicles with terry cloth and/or a chamois. Meguiar’s now recommends the use of micro fiber towels instead of these items since they remove more particles post-washing and leave fewer swirls. [Disclosure: as the person who drove his woodie furthest to attend the class I will receive a package of these towels as a gift from the company, which has no idea I am writing this article.] After washing, inspect by simply and gently running finger tips over the surface as well as visually. Bonded impurities, such as tree sap, remaining on the surface can be removed with clay. A test car belonging to a fellow woodie club member became the subject of our collective ministrations. The paint on this vehicle was even worse than the decades old paint on my 1948 Mercury. Simple hand rubbing with fine clay, lubricated with Meguiar’s Quick Detailer or a similar product, produced dramatic differences in the smoothness of the paint. Impurities left following the clay treatment (about a half-hour for an entire car) are then Santa Barbara Region Porsche Club of America removed with cleaner. There are a number of products with which to accomplish this task. Again, dramatic differences on our “test” car were demonstrated. I was undoubtedly amongst those who used the terms “wax” and “polish” interchangeably. However, our patient instructors taught us that polishing is a process that smoothes the paint surface as opposed to waxing, which protects the surface, to say nothing of enhancing the shine that polishing to a highdegree of smoothness produces. There was more to learn. All of the consumer products offered by Meguiar’s are designed for application by hand, however, all may be used with a buffer. The rotary buffers available at the corner drugstore are not, however, correct. A dual-action buffer limited to relatively low speeds (around 2000 rpm) is the tool of choice. Naturally our hosts produce such an item. Our hosts emphasized that hand application would achieve the same results albeit in more time. The neophyte car guys, or more likely guy, me, then were brought to the part of the program that we had envisioned as the start. The final step is waxing. Naturally there are a variety of choices, including natural and synthetic products. Although Meguiar’s emphasizes the distinction between polish and wax, they do offer a single step product for those two steps as well as separate choices, including carnauba waxes and those based on silicone. Anyone who has attended car shows for very long has accumulated a garage full of Quick Detailer or Speed Detailer. I have used these products before my education and have found them useful for removing A Day at Meguiar’s Article Continued from Page 18 the bugs and dirt inevitably attached to my “baby” between Malibu and, for example, Santa Barbara for the Woodies on the Beach show. [The products clearly work – Tom MacDonald’s ‘shoebox’ Ford was acclaimed the vehicle with the best finish at the 2006 Woodies at the Beach.] The final items I mention in this paragraph are maintenance products to help preserve all the hard work from cleaning to waxing. Our class concluded with too much pizza. There were no sales pitches. There didn’t need to be. Most of us, armed with our newly minted detailing degrees, were only too happy to purchase products from our fellow car guys at Meguiar’s. The day of education was worth missing a breakfast with my Porsche friends. COME AND JOIN THE FUN!

So get your money and reservations in early to be sure to guarantee a place for you and your spouse, or guest, at this annual event. We are pleased to announce that for the first time, in many years, our Progressive Dinner will be held exclusively in and around the city of Santa Barbara. Three of our members have graciously volunteered to host various courses of this all-day eating and socializing event, at their lovely homes. We have also reserved an entire restaurant so we can sit down and enjoy the main course together. Cost is only $30.00 per person for the entire day of eating, driving, and socializing with your fellow club members. A $10.00, per car, activity fee will be collected when we meet at Sears. At the first member’s home we will be treated to a selection of hors d’oeuvres. At the second stop we will be served salad. After salad, we will drive to a nearby restaurant for our entree. Here you will have your choice of either: Mahi-Mahi - char-grilled and basted with huli-huli bbq sauce and topped with fresh tropical salsa, Seafood Pasta - sautéed shrimp, scallops and fresh fish, simmered in a creamy sun dried tomato sauce with artichokes, asparagus and linguine, served with Parmesan cheese, Chicken Oscar - sautéed fresh chicken breast crowned with king crab, asparagus, and béarnaise sauce, or Prime Rib - slow roasted in special ovens and served au jus. All entrees will be accompanied by a starch and vegetable, coffee, tea, or soft drinks. Drinks from the bar are extra. Upon completing the main course, we will drive over to our final member’s home, overlooking Santa Barbara harbor and the Pacific Ocean. Here we will have dessert, watch the sun disappear below the horizon, and enjoy more socializing and great camaraderie prior to the ride home. Due to the necessity of having to pay the restaurant in advance, as well as notifying those volunteering their homes as to how many to prepare for, neither checks nor registrations received after June 14, 2007 will be accepted. ------------------------------------------------------ 2007 Progressive Dinner Registration Form --------------------------------------------------- Please RSVP with this form and your check payable to: Barry or Valerie Weinstein, 2820 Blazing Star Drive, Thousand Oaks, CA 91362. # of Persons ____ Name(s) ___________________________________ Total Enclosed $______ Home Phone: ______________ Cell Phone: _______________ Email: _____________________ Entrée Choice(s): Mahi-Mahi ____ Seafood Pasta ____ Chicken Oscar ____ Prime Rib ____ Porsche Club of America Santa Barbara Region May 2007 21 22 May 2007 Santa Barbara Region Porsche Club of America Porsche Club of America Santa Barbara Region May 2007 23 CLASSIFIEDS 83 928S 5spd, metallic brown, new transax, timing belt, torq tube, clutch, potenzas, S4 chrome wheels, bilstein coil overs, CD, K&N, bra, bench top set & too much more.
