The Circuit
...and a word or two from the President's seat — Skip Carter
In case you hadn't noticed, the Circuit hasn't exactly
been on time the last couple of months. My apologies
for that. Unfortunately, it's a period that has a lot of
personal issues going on for me, but I expect things
to settle down in the next couple of months. There is
a lot to be thankful for in spite of a few rough spots.
Meanwhile, Suesan and I are in Keystone, Colorado
for the 54th Porsche Parade. It's the 4th of July, and
the final day of the event. I'm hoping finish this issue
today and get it uploaded to our printer tonight so
they get in the mail by mid week. We should have
copies at Breakfast Club next Saturday, July 11th.
The Parade had been wonderful. Mostly sunny, mid70s temperature but a scattered thunderstorm here
and there. Keystone is about 90 miles West of Denver
in the middle of the Rocky Mountains at 9,400
ft. elevation. To say that it is beautiful is a gross
understatement. To say that the people and facilities
are wonderful is also a gross understatement.
On the Cover...
Most of the photos you see in the Circuit are taken by
Jimmie Mitchell, including this month's cover from our June
Breakfast Club meeting at Frisco's Car Hop Grill. The rain
didn't hurt our attendance. As a matter of fact, our Porsches
looked spectacular with rain drops beaded up on the paint.
There were plenty of 4 - 8 hour organized or selfguided tours setup for us. Suesan and I have
driven a few. From abandoned mines to the famous
Opera House in Leadville, to the Hotel d'Paris in
Georgetown, 12,000 ft. Loveland Pass, Vail, Aspen
and more. You can see elk, moose, deer, fox and
more as you drive through the mountains. In the
August issue we'll publish some photos. I'm sure you
can go to the parade web site at www.pca.org for a
taste.
Our trip home is going through the San Juan
mountains to Ouray, Mexican Basket, the Grand
Canyon, Prescott and Sedona, Arizona before we get
back home to San Diego.
You'll see a couple of upcoming GPX event flyers on
the next few pages. One is for our October 5 Day
Away from Work Drivers Ed / Autocross. The other is
our September 26th Octoberfest BBQ. Rick and Kathy
Mills are hosting the BBQ at their Long Beach home.
It's a Saturday afternoon event that should be quite
casual and fun. Mark your calenders.
In this issue you'll also see coverage of our May 16
Queen Mary Concours. Dal Lee and his team did a
fabulous job. One thing we forgot to do was count
total Porsches. Something well over 100 for sure.
There had to be over 30 912s and a dozen 356s.
You'll see some great cars in the photos... maybe
even yours.
By the way, the Grand Prix Region is bringing home
a 1st place trophy from Parade for the newsletter
contest. Regions are divided into five classes,
depending on membership. GPX is in Group 3, so The
Circuit was considered the best newsletter in regions
our size in 2008.

The Grand Prix Region held its 28th annual Concours d'Elegance at the Queen
Mary on May 16th. We were again
joined by the 912 Registry, and there
were several cars from the Porsche 356
Club as well. It was a great place to be if
you enjoy hanging out with a bunch of
Porsche folks on a wonderful Southern
California day.
Richard Elliott and
his 2002 Boxster S
Josh & Dyan Hoffman's 1984 Cab
Attendance at this event was the highest in
memory with well over 100 Porsches coming through the gates. Dal Lee and his team
did a fabulous job in his first year as the GPX
Concours chair.
Mike & Lisa Wilson's 1963 356B
There were some very special cars in attendance. Bob Weber brought Peter Gregg's
IMSA champion 934.5, and Wayne Dempsey brought his very rare
Porsche 959. Chris Toy brought one of the most interesting cars, a very
well done 356 Outlaw sporting a 930 engine. An extremely nice looking
'64 Coupe. Roy Lock's Bali Blue 356B Roadster was a hit, and there were
so many fabulous examples of exquisitely restored 912s, it was hard to
choose a favorite.
We want to thank Pacific Porsche for their support. Pacific sponsored our
great trophies in addition to Carl Toffelmire bringing one of the new 997
PDK's for us to ogle over.
Dr. Colorchip and Taylor's Cigar Lounge
were also sponsors. As usual, the Grand Prix
Region volunteers made this a very well run
event, starting with Suesan Way and the
whole registration process.

All in all it was a very well run and very well
attended concours. You can see from the
photos, the variety and quality of cars on
display was pretty impressive.
Thanks to Dal Lee and his team. You guys did an awesome job, and I
can't wait until next year.

Defining Moments
by Bob Weber
A few comments from Bob Weber regarding his experience of bringing Peter Gregg's 934.5 to the
Grand Prix Region's Queen Mary Concours:
A grandfather and his 12 year old grandson came up at the end of the show Saturday. Most people
had already left. They had just driven 3 hours in horrible traffic and got there late. They had seen
the flyers featuring the 934.5 and had come to see it.
It takes some time to pack this car up, and I was just ready to drive to the trailer
when they walked up. They asked if I could open the car up and let them look at
it — which I did. They asked questions and took pictures.
Spencer Lee
The grandfather had seen Peter race in the '70s and was in awe of him. He had
told the stories about the 934.5 and 935s and Porsche racing dominance to his
grandson, who wasn't even born when the Brumos 934.5 was raced by Peter. But
the grandson was in awe also of the stories, and asked this grandfather to come see
the car. The grandson was hooked on Porsche from stories of the fire breathing
935s and wanted to see and hear one in person.
Even though they arrived late, they got to see one of the cars that put
Porsche racing on the map in America. They were both so grateful
to relive some memories from the past as the grandfather explained
the racing escapades of Peter Gregg. They were creating their own
memories. That memory is priceless, right? It's a defining moment in
someone's life.
That memory is what burns inside of you and me! A new generation,
totally hooked on computers and electronic gadgets, absolutely love
the raw, unsophisticated power of these 934.5s and 935s! Amazing.
Earlier, two twentyish year olds came up to me — in total awe of the
934.5. They too had heard of Peter Gregg and saw pictures from the
'70s. One had just purchased his first 911 because of the racing heritage from the '70s. They absolutely loved the fact that the car was "old technology" — no
computer controls, all mechanicals, driven by pure finesse and the superior human ability
that Peter Gregg had. This was another priceless moment for me. Twenty year olds loving a
1977 race car! A defining moment in their lives also.
Dal Lee asked if he could place his young son, Spencer, in the cockpit seat and take a picture of his proud son behind the wheel. You know that picture will be around for generations to come. And this young boy will also own a Porsche, for sure. A priceless moment.
And defining moment in time.
So, that's what makes my day — making people happy and sharing the dream that
I had years ago. We are only "caretakers/stewards of the history" and "keepers of
the flame" as Dave Aase, the previous 934.5 owner, said to me as we signed the sales
papers. So true.
Thank you again for having me come to your concours

Coming next year — A Tour to the Anza Borrego Desert
In our own back yard is an amazingly beautiful area that most
Southern Californians have never seen — the Anza Borrego
Desert.
While some people enjoy it year round, even when the
temperature reaches 115 plus, we're talking about a day tour
in the cooler months when you
can walk around in the sunshine
without risk of a heat stroke.
There are always incredible
sights, but the best is a few
short weeks after a wet winter
(I know, hasn't happened lately)
when the wildflowers are just
unbelievable. If it is a wet winter,
there will not be much notice for
the tour. Otherwise, we'll have
plenty of time to set it up.
Watch for more information early in 2010

Breakfast
Club Meeting Report — June 6
by Skip Carter photos by Jimmie Mitchell & Skip Carter
The last several Breakfast Club meetings
have conflicted with other major Porsche
events in the Los Angeles area, and June
was no exception. The Porsche 356 Club's
"Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show" at
the Boy's Republic in Chino was the same
morning, and several of our regular attendees
were helping out in Chino, which was a good
thing. The Grand Prix Region has been very
happy to support this event. Besides being
raised there, Steve McQueen was a huge
Porsche guy and a great PCA member.
I'm writing this article while at the Porsche
Parade in Keystone, Colorado. At our first
banquet, special recognition was given to
Panorama Editor Betty Jo Turner. Betty Jo has
been our editor for 40 years! You should have
seen the photos of her climbing under cars
and interviewing the absolute biggest names
in Porsche history. She has done it with grace
and quality second to none. The reason I'm
mentioning Betty Jo is that it was she, in the
pits at Sebring decades ago, who got Steve
McQueen to join the Porsche Club of America.
This is just one of the reasons we all owe
such gratitude to Betty Jo.

The other thing at June Breakfast was
the rain. If there is one thing that makes
a Porsche more beautiful (in my humble
opinion), it is rain drops glistening on them.
You'll see in some of these photos. In
spite of the rain and McQueen event, we
still almost record attendance. Frisco's has
proved to be a wondering venue for GPX.
We really appreciate the quality of their
service.
We had lots of new members this month,
and a special door prize from Los Angeles
Helicopters, headquartered at Long Beach
Airport. GPX member, Lars Fallman, is Chief
of Maintenance and a partner there. They
donated a "30/30" prize... 30 minute ground
school and a 30 minute flight... very cool.
The prize went to Albert Franco, who
promptly gave it back to us to raffle for
ASUDEC (Africa's Sustainable Development
Council - see article in this issue). What a
guy!!!
10
Anyway, June was a great Breakfast, and
July is being pushed to the 11th because
of the 4th falling on the first Saturday. In
retrospect, I'm not sure we needed to do
that, but too late to go back.
11
See you all on the 11th of July.

No Handouts Requested
The Circuit
by Norma Ann Dawson (with sidekick Suesan Way)
ASUDEC (Africa's Sustainable Development Council), the non-profit organization GPX has supported for the past two years, is committed to the reduction of
poverty, and its resultant life-deprecating characteristics, in the West African
country of Burkina Faso.
The problems facing the people of Burkina Faso lie primarily in its high level of
poverty, the illiteracy of its population, the lack of business opportunity in its
rural environment and the traditional banking approaches of financial institutions
that prioritize their own need for survival as an institution. In our article in the
May Circuit, Suesan and I shared with you how ASUDEC helps the Burkinab people
rise above a seemingly insurmountable state of poverty through the implementation of a poverty reduction program administered by ASUDEC Mutual, ASUDEC’s
micro credit institution.
ASUDEC avoids handouts in its approach to encourage self-promotion and constructive risk-taking. This is why ASUDEC adopted Heifer International's practice
of passing on the gifts, which ASUDEC adapted to the culture of African solidarity to promote an interdependent system of development. For example, when
ASUDEC grants ten hens to a family, it also provides all the veterinary care for at
least 12 months, the time necessary for the recipient to reproduce at least 300
hens and to become convinced of the advantages of and adopt the good practices
ASUDEC has taught them during that 12 months. From this stock, ASUDEC takes
back only 20 hens, 10 of which are passed on to a new family in need and 10 of
which are used to contribute to the enormous costs of the program supported by
ASUDEC.
In the majority of Burkinab villages, the need for construction or repair of infrastructures such as schools, wells and pumps, maternities often greatly exceed the
intervention capacities of the Burkinab government. And, any required contribution, even for the repair of something as seemingly insignificant as a water pump,
is frequently the subject of serious conflict within the village. In order to reduce
these kinds of conflicts and to contribute directly to the community’s local development, ASUDEC proposes that each of its recipients who benefit directly from
its projects, contribute a small amount of their financial growth towards their
community’s expenses.
The extent to which an aid recipient is expected to contribute to their village varies depending on the village needs. The nature and rate of contribution is designated by the Local Sustainable Development Council of ASUDEC elected within the
village. The village’s Local Sustainable Development Council is responsible for the
management of these resources, and is accountable before the village assembly.
By adopting this self-sustaining system, ASUDEC’s recipients become aid givers,
not only to other families, but also to their own communities. This strategy makes
it possible to extend the project both over time and geographically to new recipients while at the same time contributing to the recipient’s family’s well-being and
to the recipient’s community’s development.
Please join GPX in its commitment to support ASUDEC’s efforts to help the people
of Burkina Faso become self-sustaining. Your generosity to this honorable endeavor will be rewarded!

Book Review for Porschephiles
Bruce Herrington
by Bruce Herrington, Riverside Region
Porsche: The Sports Racing Cars 1953-72
by Anthony Pritchard
Published by Haynes Publishing, UK, this book is one of
two books available from Motorbooks that deal with
Porsche racing in the 60s and 70s (the other is Porsche
Racing Cars 1953 to 1975 by Brian Long). Both books are
based heavily on the Porsche archives, but present their
material differently.
Porsche The Sports Racing Cars 1953-72 contains so
much information about the races and the competition
that it might be subtitled ‘Porsche Racing’… or even
‘Sports Car Racing’ and could be of interest to enthusiasts
of a variety of marques – Ferrari, Lotus, BRM, Borg-Ward!
(Remember the Spyder-like Borg-Ward race cars? The
sedans maybe?)
Pritchard’s book is organized by the cars, describing their
development, evolution and race experiences. A lot of information is presented about engine bore/stroke/compression and suspension changes during the race
seasons. Though the graphic layout is visually spare
with large blocks of the very informative text, the
book is illustrated, sparsely perhaps, with salon
quality pictures. Some of the pictures are never
before published items from the Porsche archives.
The race reports it presents are so detailed that the
book reads like a contemporary Road & Track. For
example: “Two hours before the 3PM start, the sky
became heavily overcast and a heavy shower soaked
the circuit.”; “Elford pulled into the pits because
the control-rod between the slide rod and fuel
injection unit broke.”
Less than half of the book is devoted to the 4
cylinder era, the bulk being devoted to the 6 and 8
cylinder racers, with almost one third of the book
devoted to extensive and intensive coverage of the
917s. To this reviewer, the reports of the Factory’s
participation in Formula 1 (and its abortiveness),
with the 804 single seat car, are more comprehensive than any others ever read.
Pritchard provides a set of appendices of unique
reference value. Included are – Drivers biographies
22
with portraits; car specifications; race results (all series)
by year; World Championship results by year; detailed
descriptions of individual 917s
by chassis number; and the inside story of the development
of the 917, by chief designer Hans Mezgar. The indices
(Cars, People, Races) are more useful than they at first appear, and include a reference to the 1971 CanAm race at
Riverside.

Present – Jack & Ginny Case, Marty & Brita
Goldsmith, Albert Franco, Frank Medrano, Jimmie
Mitchell, Barbara Gillam, Rick Mills, Michael Dolphin,
Rico Lopez, Peter Ross, Skip Carter, and Suesan Way
The Circuit:
We will only print about 100 June Circuits to save
some money. They will be available at the July Board
Meeting for those who would like a copy. July should
be printed and mailed to everyone in addition to
the electronic distribution. If you arenot receiving
email notices from us, which includes the electronic
version of the Cirdcuit, contact Skip with your email
information.
There was some discussion regarding advertising
costs versus the cost of producing the Circuit. Skip to
do some analysis and report back to the board.
President’s Report:
We are continuing to look for event sponsorship for
our Track days and Concours. Circle is currently not
in a position to provide full sponsorship as they have
done in the past, which it is even more important to
support our sponsors in these economic times. We
still have the metal Porsche sign to sell.
Chair Reports:
Treasurer’s Report – Account in the black.
Membership - As of May 31 our total membership is
587 with 12 non renewals.
Tech Sessions - Rick Mills will look into a tech session
at LA Helicopters – Skip to check possible dates and
get back to Rick. We are also considering splitting
a Saturday between two shops: Art Arredondo and
Kenny Bornstein in August. We are also working with
Benton Performance.
Social - Oktoberfest is set for Saturday, September 26
at the home of Rick & Kathy Mills. Cost will be $10.00
per person - Brats and beer/soda.
Tours - Newcomb Ranch tour is on June 13. Marty
and Brita are also looking into a Santa Paula tour and
possibly a trip to Catalina in December. In 2010 they
are looking at tour to Borrego Springs and others.
26
Parade 2009:
The annual Porsche Parade will be at Keystone
Colorado with 23 GPX members registered. Michael
Dolphin is hosting a Zone 8 reception and is asking
regions to contribute $20.00 for each entrant to
cover costs. The board approved the request for GPX.
October Day Away:
The next Day Away from Work Drivers Ed / Autocross
will be on October 5th at Streets of Willow. Michael
Dolphin thinks we need a way of letting drivers know
their times as soon as possible. When we purchased
our timing equipment, we put off buying a large,
wireless display. The board decided it was time to
make the purchase, so Marty Goldsmith will look into
costs so it will be operational by October 5th.
A Tech Inspection Committee is to be formed to
improve and standardize our procedures for Tech
Inspections. Greg Schill will work with Richard
Clewett to make it happen.

Celebrating Porsche's 60th
Anniversary
Claude Mitchell
Somehow I neglected to include Claude's 12th
year anniversary as a Porsche Club of America
member in the April Anniversaries
— my apologies —
Claude is a regular at Breakfast Club and most
GPX social events, and a fixture on the grid
team at the California Festival of Speed each

We're thrilled to have him as a GPX member!
PCA ZONE 8 CONCOURS
The Los Angeles Region of the Porsche Club of America is pleased to announce the relocation of our annual
concours to the famous Greystone Mansion on Loma Vista Drive in Beverly Hills.
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Porsche cars, the move to this historic venue more closely aligns the
event with values embodied by Porsche since its inception in 1948. Gothic and Neoclassic architectural features
of the mansion evoke the spirit of the birthplace of Porsche — the man and the car.

©2009 Porsche Cars North America, Inc. Porsche recommends seat belt usage and observance of all traffic laws at all times.
We do one thing well. We just happen to do it four ways.
Dreams take shape in many ways. Gut-wrenching power, cat-like response and next-generation technology
come standard in all of them. From the pure top-down roadster experience of the Boxster to the sports-car
agility of the Cayenne. Every Porsche is engineered with a no-compromise approach to performance.
Visit us today for four new ways to awaken your passion for driving.
