and a word or two from the President's seat
You don't have to look any further than the next page
to see the tremendous number of things for you to do
in the Porsche Club. GPX member Richard Clewett
will be conducting a Tech Talk following our March
Breakfast Club meeting at Ricky & Ronnies (see the
ad on page 11). Clewett Engineering specializes in
ignition and engine management systems for high
performance engines, especially adapting older
engines to electronic fuel injection and crank fired
ignition. The one hour presentation will be followed
by a Q&A segment.
Registrations for our April 16 Day Away from Work
Autocross have started coming in. It looks like we'll
have a good turnout. This year we are conducting
a mandatory 2-hour classroom session for rookie
drivers. Everyone is welcome to attend this Sunday
evening introduction to performance driving. You
will also be able to get your car tech'd and register
during the Chalk Talk, saving everyone time the next
morning. The event ad is on page 6.

January Breakfast Club
Ricky & Ronnie's Cruise In Diner has been the
meeting place of our monthly Breakfast Club for
almost two years now... You couldn't ask for a
better location.
March 10th is the 24th Annual Porsche & Vintage
VW Literature Meet at the L. A. Airport Hilton.
I've been 3 or 4 times and can't wait for the next
year. Even if you take an empty wallet, there is
still so much to see. People from all around the
world arrive Friday night so they can get into the
hall early Saturday morning. There's a small ad
on page 8. You'll also have an opportunity to meet
PCA's incoming national president, Prescott Kelly.
Talk about someone who knows Porsche literature,
posters, models and, well... just about everything
Porsche.
Other great news for those of us who have missed
the annual Dunkel Brothers Swap Meet is the
resurrection of this Porsche Only Swap Meet. The
meet will be in Costa Mesa. The Porsche 356 Club
and 912 Registry have put their heads together for
this one. Their ad is also on page 8.
The end of March has the largest Porsche event
west of the Rockies, the Zone 8 Speed Festival at
the California Speedway (ad on page 13). Besides
Club Racing, Time Trial, Autocross, Concours and
Vendor's Row, you'll also be able to drive you and
your friends around the actual track (at reduced
speed) in your own car
during the lunchtime
Track Tours. Give me a
call (or email) if you have
any questions or want to
volunteer a hand.

Rennsport Reunion III
Daytona November 2-4
Every three years since 2001, Porshce Cars North America and Brian
Redman have put on Rennsport Reunion at the famous Daytona
International Speedway.
I was fortunate enough to attend the 2004 event and,
let me tell you, the only thing I've seen that rivaled it
was Porsche's 50th Anniversary at Laguna Seca in
1998. If you have any interest in historical Porsche
race cars, this is THE place to be. Not only cars, but
the list of famous Porsche drivers in attendance was
staggering. To be able to literally rub elbows with the
people and cars was an opportunity of a lifetime

Calendar Presents at December Breakfast Club
by Skip Carter
GPX members John & Joyce Perchulyn brought gifts to our December Breakfast Club
meeting — 25 Jewel Case Calendars. Their business, Riviera Imaging in Redondo
Beach, is essentially a photo lab that does things from these calendars to digital film
services to greeting cards... good things for both your business or home. Check out their
website at RivieraImaging.com.
Needless to say, the calendars disappeared in about 45 seconds.
These calendars were so well received
that we will probably commission
John to make a 2008 version for this
year's Holiday Party (maybe even
for participants at our October Day
Away from Work Autocross).
It's great to see what some of our
members do with their work time.
The photo on the right is Joyce and
John at last year's tour of the Saleen
factory in Irvine.
Why Advertise in the Circuit...
by Pete Ross
As many of you can tell, the Grand Prix Region’s monthly
newsletter, The Circuit, is indeed quite a production. It
has received national recognition from the Porsche Club of
America the last two years.
Our membership has been increasing and, as a result, we are
printing and mailing a larger number of newsletters. In addition, we distribute about 750 electronically. When you look
at the number of copies in circulation each month, and the
fact that each copy may be read my more than one person,
our publication reaches a significant number of readers each
month. This is where you come in.
As a member of the Grand Prix Region, we would like to
continue to give you the best newsletter we can possibly
deliver. To do this we need more advertising income, and we
would like you to help us obtain new advertisers.
If you know of any type of a business that would like to attract new customers, earn more money, increase store traffic,
boost their image or just flat out increase their odds of possibly making a sale to a Grand Prix Region member, please
have them contact Skip Carter.

February 2007
Perhaps you know of a good
Porsche mechanic, alignment
expert, attorney, real estate agent,
salesperson, florist, tire company,
auto parts supply company,
medical professional or some
other individual or company
interested in reaching a market
that typically drives one of the finest automobiles in the history of cars. It’s almost a virtual guarantee that the reader of
their ad will probably drive a Porsche.

Advertising really works. So the next time you pick up
somebody’s business card, ask if they’d also be interested in
placing an ad in our newsletter. If they want something bigger than a business card, we can accommodate that as well.
The ad rates are on the back page (right above the information for the Breakfast Club Meeting). For additional information contact Skip at (619) 992-9927 or send an e-mail:

And, speaking of the Breakfast Club Meeting… We hope to
see you at the next one.

Breakfast Club Meeting Update — Jan 6
story & photos by Pete Ross
2007… Already a New Year…
They really seem to be piling up these days and approaching
with much more speed than they used to. And speaking of
things picking up speed, you should see the increased attendance
at the Porsche Club of America, Grand Prix Region’s Breakfast
Club Meetings that are held on the first Saturday of each month.
At the January gathering, we had over forty members and guests
show up, about thirty-six Porsches, and a handful of nonPorsches. All those Porsches… It was quite a spectacle to behold,
and everyone had a great time on an absolutely splendid day.
Some of the highlights included Karen Lewis’ license plate on
her Porsche that reads “BDAYXTC”. This shows just how nice
a guy Bob Lewis really is, and I’m sure we’ll all be sending Bob
our respective birth dates in anticipation of receiving our 2007
gifts. In addition, we had Tony Ugas show up for his first meeting after being a member for a year and a half. We also had several potential new members. Among them were: James Verkest,
Mike Boivin, Bill Gonzalez (who brought his brand new Porsche
Turbo), his brother Rene Gonzalez and Mariana Montes. Rod
Williams filled out his application and officially became a member, and new member Paul Mason was also in attendance.
Attendees were Joe Bryant, Richard Clewitt, Bill Davis, Norma
Ann Dawson, De Jur Jones, Michael Dolphin, Patricia Geary
Johnson, Marty and Brita Goldsmith, Lorenzo Gray, Thomas
Hartel, Jeff Haas, Giles Hurley and his son Van Giles Hurley,
Bob and Karen Lewis, Rico Lopez, Roger Lubeck, Paul Mason,
Phil Millard, Rick Mills, Jimmie Mitchell, Marty Noonan, Pete
Novak, John Perchulyn, Peter Ross, Ron Shanon, Howard Stephens, Norm Stone, Michael Takaki, Robert and JoAnn Trinkle,
Tony Ugas, Henry Voskanian, Greg White and Rod Williams.
There were also several members in attendance that forgot to
sign the roster. The final attendee was Speedster, JoAnn Trinkle’s
Daschound who was sporting a doggy dress coat that was emblazoned with a large Porsche logo on his back.
As always, everyone that showed up had a great time and our
attendance is growing on a monthly basis. However, we’re still
waiting for you to show up. So again… we implore you… wake
up early on the first Saturday in February and join us. We guarantee that you’ll have a great time mixing and mingling with
your fellow Porschephiles. You can catch up on your sleep the
following Sunday since football season should be done by then.
