The Circuit
Write of Way, by Suesan Way
Here it is August – Parade has
come and gone and once again it
was a PCA highlight of the year.
Parade is a combination of competition, socializing and a
chance to look around an area you might otherwise never
have made your way to….and it is always a pleasant surprise
when you get there.
Parade includes the four major areas of completion –
concours, autocross, technical quiz and the rally. It is also
a fun volunteer opportunity which is a great way to meet
people and it is a series of awards, banquets, tours and the
Porsche Club of America’s annual summer Board Meeting.
This year three proposals were passed at the meeting by an
overwhelming majority. PCA will raise the annual dues to
$46.00 a year. So, save a few dollars and renew for 3 years
before the end of the year at the old $42.00 rate.
Second approval was an option to purchase a headquarters
building instead of continuing to rent. We hope to create
a place where members could visit, perhaps some classic
display cars and, of course, the club archives and office space
for the Executive Director and staff.
The third proposal created an Ad hoc committee to review
member suspension. If anyone would like more information
about the proposals and approvals, please let me know.
The Grand Prix Region has some exciting events coming up
over the next few months starting September 11-13th with a
tour to Mammoth & the Eastern Sierra. It will be a fabulous
trip that has been put together by our Tour Masters Marty
and Brita Goldsmith. There is a great Porsche route planned
with exciting stops along the way and dinners together on
Saturday and Sunday. Look for the ad in this issue of the
Circuit and call Marty.
Marty and Brita also have a trip planned to the Mullen
Automotive Museum Saturday August 28th. This recently
opened museum has a respectable sized collection of rare
custom automobiles from the 1930s and 40s by a number
of French manufactures. It is a rare opportunity to see the
collection as the museum is open only a few times each year.
There are a couple of spots left. See the ad in this Circuit
and contact Marty immediately.

We are planning a couple of driving events in the fall. On Monday
October 4th we are having our
semi-annual Day Away from
Work DE and Zone 8 Autocross at
Streets of Willow. This is an entry
level event with paid corner workers – a definite plus in your track day knowing you don’t
need to take your turn out on the track at a corner station
and instead can just hang around, work on your car or kick
tires with your pit neighbor. See the flyer in this issue.
Hold November 20 & 21 for a joint Grand Prix and San Gabriel Valley Regions track weekend. An autocross on Sunday
and a DE on Sunday, both at the Fairplex track in Pomona.
You won’t want to miss this event if you have any interest in
driving on a track. The last Fairplex autocross was a sold out
event and was high praise for the track design.
October 24th is a joint Photo Rally with the Orange Coast
Region. The jaunt will start and end at Frisco’s and will
take in some curvy and twisty Porsche roads heading south.
OCR Tour Masters Larry Moore and Marty Goldsmith have
a route planned and a good time is planned that includes
prizes of cash money! Get your camera, clean your lens, call
Marty and reserve a spot on what will be a very fun day. OK
maybe you don’t really need the camera – but bring it along
so you can take pictures of the new Porsche friends.
We are starting to think about the year end holiday party
and silent auction for our fundraising campaign. We have
booked December 4th as the night for the party at the Long
Beach Yacht Club. Put it on your calendar now and be part
of the region’s annual celebration of the season which includes the installation of the Board of Directors.
If you have any thoughts of wanting to participate on the
Board or on one of our many committees, or if you have
ideas for club – don’t be shy – give me a call – and remember
my 24 hour online open door policy.
I am just an email away – give me a shout.
Hope to see you soon.

WE NEED YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
Has the Grand Prix Region been busy? You betcha! Just take
a look inside. The first thing you notice are the added 16
pages in this August issue. It is by far the largest Circuit ever
printed. We just needed more room to catch up on coverage of recent events, and promotion of upcoming events.
Even with the added pages, I still had to push Greg White's
Laguna Seca ALMS coverage to the September issue.
If you're not enjoying the wide variety of events GPX and the
other PCA regions in Southern California offer, it's time to
come out and play. You'll find ads for Tours to Mammoth,
Lake Arrowhead, Mullin Museum, a Photo Rally, Flabob
Airport, three Performance Driving events, our annual Holiday Party, monthly Breakfast Club meetings and monthly
board meetings (everyone welcome to attend)... And that's
just scratching the surface. Santa Barbara, Orange Coast,
Riverside and San Diego regions all have events on our calendar and ads in this Circuit.
I hope we see you at an event soon!

Concours at the Lakewood Country Club
by Skip Carter
photos by Jimmie Mitchell, Michael Dolphin & Skip Carter
After a run of several years at the Queen Mary, we needed to find a
new location for our annual Concours d'Elegance. Concours Chair,
Dal Lee, got right on it and, after surveying several locations, the
Lakewood Country Club was selected.
Our long term members will remember that this is NOT the first
time Lakewood has hosted us. Dal and his team did a fabulous job,
as you can see from the photos, and the Lakewood Country Club
could not have treated us better. It was great to have the cars back
on lawn. The elegant grounds and mature trees created a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. It was also quite a treat having
an indoors, sit down lunch. The food was excellent, and the white
linen didn't hurt. Many thanks to both our Grand Prix Region
team and Lakewood staff for helping create such a successful event.

Another side of the coin was the participants and the cars. This
year we honored the 356, and the 356 Club showed up in force.
Next year (2011) will feature early 911s and 2012 (you guessed it),
the 912. A team of 23 judges volunteered their time, and the day
went off very smoothly.
Pacific Porsche sponsored us. Parts Manager Lennie Yee and other
employees were there under a tent with some great values from the
parts department. Many thanks to Mike Sullivan's Pacific Porsche.
Also present was Mike Newlon, a local PCA member who is writing a series of books on historic highways. His first two books, U.S.
95 and U.S. 395 were available.

Lars Fallman, maintenance manager for nearby LA Helicopters,
arranged for me to take this shot. Lars also entered his 944 Turbo
in the Concours, and went home with a trophy.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this a truly great day.

27 Fairplex Autocross
The Circuit
at the old Pomona Fairgrounds
by Skip Carter
photos by Jimmie Mitchell
Hi Ly's 997 GT3 waits in grid
On June 27th the Grand Prix Region put on its first ever Autocross (OK, we only checked back about 20 years). Let me
clarify. You all know we've been running our Day Away from
Work events at Streets of Willow forever and, while these had an
autocross stuck in the middle or end, they are not a typical Zone
8 autocross. This event at the Pomona Fairplex was a straight
autocross, single laps from beginning to end.
Saturday afternoon about a dozen of us showed up at Fairplex to throw the track. Dan and Dave Hockett brought
Dan's motor home, which served as our headquarters and
gathering place for drivers meetings and other logistics.
Dave's PA system came in very handy the next day. Saturday's setup was very smooth. We ended the day with a good
meal and a tasty brew at a pub in La Verne.
What brought about this "new" event for GPX? Well, about 6
months ago we were approached by John Barrone and Robert
Friedman. John is the President of the San Gabriel Valley Region
and Robert is their Driving Events chair. They wanted to put on
an autocross and wondered if we would throw our hat in with
them. They had a couple of locations in mind.
By 6:00 AM Sunday morning the team was in place as cars
started showing up. Suesan Way, Alfred Abken and Albert
Franco handled Registration while Richard Clewett and a
great group started running cars through Tech. Phil Millard
drove over at 6:00 am just to work tech (Now that's a great
volunteer). Robert Freidman and John Barrone staged the
sponsors and helped everywhere. Nick Perdikaris and Richard Clewett got Tech Inspection up and running, Dikk &
Janice Jones and Jim Alton manned the front gate throughout the day, making sure everyone signed the insurance
waiver, an important and much appreciated job.
It didn't take long get two thumbs up from the GPX board,
so we jumped right in. Of the two sites, the old Pomona Fairgrounds (now the Pomona Fairplex) was, by far, the preferred
choice. With Robert running the negotiations, we soon had our
June 27th date set, and a few months to figure it out.
Teams from both regions meet, worked together and produced
an absolutely fabulous event. There were a few last minute "heroics." Thursday night before the event we discovered that the traffic cones we were counting on were not going to be available after
all. That Friday I calling all over Southern California trying to
locate several hundred 12" cones (at a decent price). After some
creative purchase order, and with less than 30 minutes before
the supplier closed for the weekend, Robert Friedman ran down
to Santa Fe Springs to pick up the cones. I'm not sure what we
would have done without those cones.
12
I especially want to thank several people from the Orange
Coast Region who offered several excellent suggestions that
made our track design safer and our event run smoother.
OCR has developed a lot of expertise with all of their El
Toro events, and it was a great help to us.
While all this was going on, Carlos Chang and Marty Goldsmith were setting up and testing the Timing system. We
had never timed 100+ cars before, and were a little nervous.
After all was said and done on Sunday afternoon, I can report that it ran, well, like clockwork (Good work guys!).

A very special thanks to Janice Witteried from the California Inland Region. This is the second event that Janice has
jumped in to interface between Timing and Scoring. We've
ordered a GPX Timing Team name badge for her, and are
hoping she will make that job a permanent one.
With over 100 registered, we knew it was important to keep
things moving smoothly. Paid corner workers simplified
things a lot. Thanks to Bobby Griffin and her team!
We had a huge piece of asphalt to work with. Our course was
long by autocross standards. The first layout was 1.8 miles
— too long. We cut it to 1.5 miles, and it was still long. Top
Time of Day went to OCRs Michael Oest in a 2007 GT3 at
112.948. That's almost 2 minutes!!!

I want to thank all the other volunteers
who I have not mentioned. Any of you
who have been around PCA for a while
know just how important volunteers
are. Without them, literally, we could not do these events.
Last but not least, I want to thank the 35+ instructors who
shared their time and their passenger seats with the novices.
It's all about learning how to be comfortable and get more
enjoyment out of your Porsche. A lot of people went home
with that in their pockets.
See you October 4 for our Day Away from Work DE/Autocross at Streets of Willow or back in Pomona November.

2007 997 GT3
Orange Coast Region
2nd TTOD was Steve Abbott in a 1999 Corvette (OK, so he
had to put a Porsche badge on the nose - just kidding). His
113.636 was blazingly fast. He documented a lap with in car
video. Take a look as this YouTube link —
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idp4T4fFtQU.
Our 3rd TTOD went to 911 Design owner and event sponsor, Loren Beggs. His 997 GT3 RSR is hardly an autocross
car. I was truly amazed at how he was able to throw that car
around some pretty tight autocross corners. When was the
last time you saw a GT3 RSR autocross?
Thanks to Mike Mulligan and Robert Friedman for the
track design. I want to thank our event sponsors too. Pacific
Porsche was well represented by Lennie Yee and his wife,
Beverly. 911 Design's Loren Beggs brought his rig and supplied water and ice for us, and L.A. Dismantlers was there
with a tent full of used Porsche parts.
We may not have made a lot of money (cones aren't cheap),
but we didn't lose money and we had a ball. We're already
working on our next event at Fairplex, a 2-day event on
November 20-21. Saturday will be an autocross very similar
to this one. Sunday, however, will be a DE using the longer
course that goes under the historic bridge. That bridge and
the track after it are a very nice road course section.
14
The DE and Autocross will be entry
level events. We're just working out the
budget right now and hope to have a
flyer out by time this Circuit hits the
streets.

GPX Tour to Mammoth
& the Eastern Sierra — Sep 11-13
If you have never visited the Eastern Sierra, you have missed a very special place. If you have always driven there without leaving Highway 395, you have missed a lot of special places! This tour will leave Long Beach and follow freeways
through the Cajon Pass. and up 395, pausing at Kramer's Junction for refreshment. The first sightseeing stop will be the
old mining town of Randsberg. After that we cross a patch of desert to visit Red Rock Canyon State Park. Passing by
some of the volcanic country near Little Lake, we press on to lunch at Olancha.
We may detour to Keeler, a picturesque mining community on our way to Lone Pine and Manzanar. From there we will
enjoy the spectacular Owens Valley scenery on our way to Mammoth Lakes. This famous mountain resort town has all
the amenities. We have a block of rooms reserved at the Quality Inn, right on Main Street in the middle of town.
We will have group dinners (locations TBD) on Saturday and Sunday nights. On Sunday, we have planned a tour to
include the famous Mono Lake, a look at Tioga Pass, and perhaps a side trip to the preserved ghost town of Bodie.
Monday options: You can leave early or stay for the Mammoth Mountain Gondola to the top of the peak for a spectacular view over the Minarets and San Joaquin River Canyon or go to Mammoth Crest for a flat, but spectacular walk along
the ridge, and continue to Red's Meadow and the Devil's Postpile. You cannot run out of things to do at Mammoth!
To participate, do two things. First call the Quality Inn (760) 934-5114 and ask for the GPX Porsche Club special rate $99 per night. Then let Marty Goldsmith know that you have signed up (562) 494-6350 or [email protected] so
he can keep you up to date on details. Sign up early - that weekend is a busy one in Mammoth!

the suburbs. Located on the Fox River, St. Charles is a small, picturesque,
mid-western town with all the charm that that implies. The Pheasant
Run Resort hosted us. This well established resort knows how to treat
car people, world reknown for things like the Mecum auction. Although
people who had never experienced well water before were not delighted
with the sulfur content of the resort's water, you would have to look hard
to find something else to be unhappy about. The weather, which could
have been hot, humid and rainy (as it was the week before and the week
after our event), was as perfect as it could be.

As I have done for most of the last ten years, I managed the Concours
Prep area. This was a very large, well-lit and CARPETED convention
room, air conditioned to boot. We had almost 75 cars in there at the
peak. More than one family spent three very long days (beyond midnight
sometimes) getting ready for the Concours. That's dedication!
The first "official" thing you do after checking into the hotel and unloading your car is Parade Check-In. This involves going to a series of tables
in a very large room, making sure you have the materials you need for the
various events throughout the week.
The first official event is the Welcome Party. It's a wonderful way to start
the week, and great effort goes into making it a memorable event. Right
next door to Pheasant Run is the Du Page County Airport. An extremely
large hanger was cleared out for us. In front of the hanger were a half
dozen significant airplaces with historic Porsches scattered amongst them
(see photos). Near the end of our excellent meal, the planes, one by one,
took off and buzzed the hanger. What fun! After dinner a "Blues Brothers" band delighted the crowd, and more than a few couples turned it
into a lively hanger full of dancers. Oh yes, and they raffled off a 2011
Cayenne S. Unfortunately neithter Suesan nor I were the winners.

I could go on and on describing each of the events, but instead I'll mention just a few points... The Gimmick Rally took us through beautiful
countryside, corn fields, small towns, historic windmills (one you could
actually go inside of) and more corn fields, river valleys and, more corn
fields. We had the Rally Banquet at a close by, very beautiful Arboretum. The large tents were comfortable and the food was fine. Having
to traverse the 40 feet between the food tent and the seating tent was a
little difficult, a mid-western thunderstorm being the casue. The ground
became a little too soft for those wearing any kind of a tall heeled shoe.
The Concours was on a golf course right outside the resort's back door. I
love seeing all those beautiful cars spread out on lawns with large shade
trees and a creek. There are several sets of tires donated as door prizes,
almost every banquet giving away at least one set. There were many very
nice prizes. Mark and Tina Trewartha, friends from the Orange Coast
Region who own Autobahn Adventures, donated three $3,000 discount
coupons for their Germany trips. Unfortunately, Suesan and I did not
win any of these either (do you see a pattern developing?).
Many tours were available, including one to and on the Road America
track, an Architectural Tour of Frank Lloyd Wright work and others. The
best door prize of all is reserved for the final banquet, the Victory Banquet. This is an all expense paid trip to two to Germany and the Porsche
factory. This is not the typical "tour to the factory" you get on your
own... This one is really special. Oh yeah, missed that one too.

So, you missed another Parade, but don't give up hope. Next July we'll be
in Savannah Georgia at the Westin Savannah Harbor Resort on Hutchinson Island. My understanding is that this island, right across the river
and a short drive or boat ferry from downtown Savannah, has one hotel,
one golf course and a race track.... Pretty much everything you need.
We're excited and can't wait. Personally, this is an area I have not spent
much time in, and we're looking forward for the opportunity to taste the
culture and cuisine.

Grand Prix Region's
1st PCA Club Race
by Skip Carter, GPX Performance Driving Chair
photos by Greg Phillips & Skip Carter
On May 22 & 23, the Grand Prix Region teamed up with the Golden
Gate Region from the San Francisco Bay area, and put on the first PCA
Club Race for GPX. The event was held at Buttonwillow Race Park near
Bakersfield. The weather was very comfortable and, several times, I just
needed to stop and look at how beautiful the cloud formations were over
the Temblor mountain range to the west.
In addition to the Club Race, Drivers Ed and Time Trial groups also ran.
While the Time Trial requires minimum driver
qualifications, the Drivers Ed (DE) provides a
great opportunity for "first timers" as well as experienced drivers to develop their driving skills.
For several, this was their first performance
driving event. In addition to a mandatory
"Ground School" on Friday afternoon, novices
are assigned an instructor to work with them
throughout the weekend. For many people,
driving a Porsche can be an intimidating
experience. Others just want an opportunity to "see what it can do." For both, we
create a safe environment to learn about car
control and to get more comfortable with your Porsche.
I can't count the number of people who, after one or more performance driving events, have commented about how much safer
they feel driving on the street, how much more they "see" while
driving, how confident and better equipped they are to handle
a driving emergency, and how much more relaxed and comfortable they are on the street. That, together with our amazing safety
record, makes it very easy for us to keep producing these events.
Many, many thanks to our event sponsor, Circle Porsche in Long
Beach. I can't tell you how important it is to let our sponsors know
how much we appreciate their support and, the best way we can show
our appreciation is for YOU to use their services.
Buttonwillow has great facilities. The BEST snack bar I've seen at a
track, air conditioning, plenty of shade and meeting rooms, a gift shop,
tire services, ice, water and more. And, in case I didn't mention it, an
extremely fun race track.
We'll be back again next year, so watch The Circuit calendar for
this and many other fun events. As usual, your board and chairs are
working hard to create a variety of fun and interesting events for all
of us. Whether you take advantage of it or not is up to you.
Don't miss out on all the fun!!!
Life's too short...

On Saturday afternoon Leamon Stansell had an offcourse excursion, resulting in a slight modification
to his left front fender (above photos). It was
quickly determined that his weekend was done
unless a repair could be made.

at the track map
With little fanfare, several GPX members standing
around put their heads together. Pop rivets came
out, Suesan located a fiberglass repair kit about 20
miles away, Arturo Chaparro picked it up, Michael
Dolphin and several others lent a hand, Allan
Rosenberg knew how to work fiberglass and, by
Sunday morning Leamon was back on the track.
Not only did he get the fender fixed, but as people
drifted by, another problem with a nagging oil
reservoir problem was analyzed and a simple repair
solved the problem.
This is the kind of camaraderie I've come to
expect at see at PCA events, and I've rarely been
disappointed.
GPX pits did include some camping, and lots of good food

This month my job is pretty easy. Having received a very nice letter from GPX member
Karen Lewis about a recent experience with one of our advertisers, Jeff Erickson's Aase
Motors, all I needed to do was print it. By the way, Karen & Bob Lewis advertise their
own business in the Circuit, Long Beach Embroidery.
PS: On any given weekend you'll find Bob and Karen volunteering at local (and not so
local) race tracks. They love corner working - being in the middle of the action.

Re: Maintenance performed on our 996
Dear Jeff:
We just wanted to send you a note to thank you very much for the wonderful experience we had this morning,
when we came in to get the oil changed on our “baby”, the 2002 996 Cabriolet (Meridian exterior (4 gals silver paint/1 gal red) with Cinnamon interior). Yes, this Porsche was my 50th birthday present and it “already”
has 18,000 miles on it!
Anyway, we were the high bidder for one of the oil change certificates you generously donated to the PCA
GPX silent auction for their Holiday Party, with proceeds benefitting their charity of last year, ASUDEC.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated as we will continue to send money at year’s end to both of our charities
for the CY 2010: ASUDEC & the Children's Dental Clinic at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center.
Thank you also for the courtesy and graciousness of Allan, your efficient and knowledgeable technician, for
making me feel welcome and I must tell you that many times when “women” go to automotive repair shops,
we feel like we are treated as if we know nothing about our automobiles; whereas, my experience this morning
was anything but that.
Not only did he just change the oil, but, in response to my inquiries, he checked out the brakes (they were
fine) and did a little troubleshooting on the back-up lights that we have had trouble with for some time. Even
though the lights were not fixed, we did eliminate the possibility of both bulbs being burned out as being
the culprit. We still go back to the dealership who changed out our engine more than five years ago (that is
another story) and the back-up lights nonfunctioning remains elusive to us.
It was interesting to me, as a metal stamping representative for the past 30 years, to see Allan continually
cleaning up as he went along this am. That explains why your shop looked so clean and tidy. We can all take
a lesson from him.
We will certainly recommend your shop to all of our friends and hope to see you both at an upcoming Grand
Prix Region breakfast one of the next “first Saturday of the month”. Come hungry: Frisco’s (Long Beach)
make up a wonderful array of breakfast items for us. Good food/good friends/lots of Porsches!
Sincerely,
Karen Lewis

Breakfast Club Update — June 5
by Peter Ross, photos by Jimmie Mitchell & Skip Carter
The one thing that greeted everyone attending the Porsche Club of America, Grand
Prix Region’s June Breakfast Club Meeting was that anomaly known as June Gloom.
The overall lack of sunshine still resulted in a huge membership turnout at Frisco’s
Diner in Long Beach.
Of those in attendance, two of our more celebrated and decorated couples were
there: Jack and Virginia Case, charter members of PCA (1955), and John and Patty
Reilly who, as of this month, have amassed a whopping total of 44 years of membership. If my math serves me correctly, that totals 99 years of Porsche Club of America
membership. That, my friends, truly deserves our acknowledgment. Congratulations
to both of our esteemed couples.
At the meeting, our President, Suesan Way, presented David Carlson of the Orange
Coast Region, and Steve Firshein of the Grand Prix Region, their RS Spyder Watch
packages. The packages were donated by Pacific Porshce for our Fundraising Raffle.
They included a Porsche RS Spyder watch, two RS Spyder models and a limited
editon RS Spyder book. Monies raised will go to our two charities, ASUDEC (Africa's Sustianable Development Council) and Long Beach's Children's Dental Health
Clinic. The drawing was held at our recent Lakewood Country Club Concours. The
prize packages were truly magnificent.
Besides the great food and service always provided by Frisco's, we heard from speakers on subjects from the Orange Coast Region Concours, the Glockler Porsche (a
pre-cursor of the 550 Spyder), a Swiss Coach built Beutler Porsche Convertible, the
upcoming Del Mar Concours (September), and the July 27th Fairplex Autocross
produced by both GPX and San Gabriel Valley Regions. Marty Goldsmith also
spoke about the upcoming July 11th Photo Rally with GPX and OCR, and Suesan
spoke about the St. Charles, Il Porsche Parade and its surrounding events. Overall,
the meeting was very informative.
Among those in attendance at the June Breakfast Club Meeting were: Art Arredondo, Ralph Arredondo, John Barrone, Ernie Becker, Milt Becker, Efren Bernel, Marc

Hello everyone,
Welcome to summer!
The best way to reach me is via text – 949/4637690 OR [email protected]
And just in case you’ve forgotten who I am. I’m a
certified technician using the Dr.Colorchip paint
repair system that was praised in the Wall Street
Journal. I work for many of the car dealerships
in the OC and LA counties, and most of the
Porsche groups in California, as well as other
car clubs, and car museums. I have even done a
few of the cars for Meguirs employees. Without
sounding pompous, there is no one better at fixing rock chips and scratches (short of re-spraying
your car).
As a side note: We also offer paint kits for individual use, to car dealerships for resale, lease return
cleanup as a service, and tech talks to car clubs.
Please see my website for details: www.carpaintchiprepair.com
Vendors I recommend – please be assured that I
take a lot of pride in my work, and I hold the companies I refer to the same high standards.:

Breakfast Club Update — July 3
by Peter Ross, photos by Jimmie Mitchell
For the month of July, those in attendance at the Monthly Breakfast Club Meeting of the Porsche Club of America, Grand Prix Region, were greeted with what
has seemingly become our new weather pattern — dreary overcast with no sight
of the Sun. Considering that it was the day before the Fourth of July, it was
seemingly unheard of and never before seen weather for Southern California.
But it was not enough to deter our members, while driving the finest automobile
in the world: Porsche.
July is generally tough to predict the turnout. Generally, a lot of our members
get out of town on vacations and other assorted outings. Several were at the
Porsche Parade in Illinois, and others were probably mired in preparations for
the holiday the following day. However, we still had a large turnout at Frisco’s
Restaurant in the City of Long Beach.
During the meeting, several members and vendors addressed the group. Among
them was Vice-President, Rick Mills (serving as moderator in Suesan Way’s
absence). Rick brought Alan Balyis to speak to our group. Alan is the VP of
Sales and Marketing for Fiske Wheels. Marty Goldsmith spoke about upcoming
tours, trips and events. Membership Chair Jimmie Mitchell and our Fundraising
Chair, Karen Lewis also addressed the croud. Karen is also one of our advertisers, owning Long Beach Embroidery with her husband, Bob.
Our July gathering was pretty informal. We had a fine breakfast, listened to
some general announcements, then out into the parking lot to kick tires and
listen to an assortment of member stories.
On a different note, one of our award winning members, Richard Elliott, has
moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. Good luck to you Richard. Know that we really
enjoyed having you as a member of the Grand Prix Region. You are truly one
of the nice guys and will be missed. Try and plan your trips to So Cal so that it
includes our breakfast club. We would love to see you.
Attending July Breakfast were Norm Abell, Bob Baddy, John Barrone, Milt
Becker, Gary Bengston, Carl Bloom, Joe Bryant, Angelique Chacon, Ed Cobos,
Don Dagert, Yaw Davis, Art Day, Patrick Devine, Mark Dodson, Lars Fallman, Steve Firshein, Albert Franco, Barbara Gillam, Marty & Brita Goldsmith,

Palao, Marty Petcoff, Tom Potase, Herb Reynolds, Sandi Richlin, Allan Rosenberg, Ron Shanon, Dan Stern, Ron Walecki, Charles Weaver, David Weiss, Rod
Williams and Earl Yessman. Sorry if I missed anyone or misspelled any names.
Again, as a reminder, if you have changed addresses, phone numbers or e-mail
accounts, please contact PCA National at www.pca.org and update your information. In addition, please notify Skip Carter, [email protected], and
Jimmie Mitchell, [email protected], with the same updated information.
Also, we are still missing the current e-mail addresses of a significant number

if it needs to be updated, please do so. Beyond that, we’ll see you at the next
Breakfast Club Meeting.
No matter how you look at it, each month when
we decend on Friscos, it's Porsche galore. The

Upon awakening on the second day you will be free to visit the many shops, saloons, museums,
and graveyards. Even take a train ride through the old mining district. But……when the sun
starts to set over Gold Hill the goblin parade will commence downtown and soon you must take
refuge back in the hotel where the spirits have conjured up a very scary giant Halloween bash.
Live music, dining, dancing, the other kind of spirits, and the scariest thing of all…. your
Porsche friends. Ghoulish attire is optional.
Surviving the night… you will be free to return home, or visit Reno, or beautiful Lake Tahoe
on the following days.
More information will follow as the date nears, but you are well advised to make your
reservations early and before September 1st.
The Riverside PCA has blocked out the entire hotel. Tell them you’re with the Porsche club.

Stretching a Dollar
by Norma Ann Dawson (with sidekick Suesan Way)
Suesan and I have often pondered about how far the money GPX contributes to the
non-profit organizations it sponsors goes. Despite my fairly decent research skills,
until recently, I wasn’t able to uncover anything definitive. Recently I ran across
articles about ASUDEC and Children’s Dental Health Clinic, the two organizations GPX
sponsors that, speak directly to that point. We hope this article will give you a good
idea of just how far the money we donate goes toward helping others less fortunate.
According to its website, “the Children's Dental Health Clinic provides multi-specialty
dental services and education for children of low-income families of the Greater Long
Beach Area, including children with special needs, or who are medically compromised.
The Clinic accept[s] Denti-Cal, Public Private Partnership (PPP), Expanded Access to Primary Care (EAPC), and other government assisted dental insurance. For low-income
families without insurance, we have a sliding fee scale payment program.”
The Clinic is “an all inclusive dental home that provides diagnoses aided by digital
imaging, fluoride treatment, restoration of teeth (fillings, root canals and crowns), as
well as preventive dentistry and oral hygiene education. It provides specialized treatment including periodontia, orthodontia, endodontia, oral/maxillo-facial surgery and
treatment under oral or IV Sedation in the Specialty Care Area. . . . As one of the only
hospital based dental clinics in The Greater Long Beach Area, the Clinic also provides
treatment under general anesthesia in the hospital's operating rooms, where dentists
have privileges.”
Children’s Dental Health Clinic’s current wish list includes 2 sterilizers at $4,000 each, a
dental operatory/dental chair unit at a cost of $20,000, 2 digital x-ray sensors at a cost
of $8,120 each, 6 dental handpieces at $850 each, one electronic apex locators costing
$975, a System B Endodontic system at a cost of $860, one electric endodontic handpiece at a cost of $1,725, a dental chair suction vacuum for the Avalon Clinic costing
$4,000, one compressor at a cost of $3,500, a mobile clinic custom garage at a cost of
$15,000, one positive pressure oxygen mask costing $400, 3 light curing unit costing
$600 each, one operating room x-ray equipment cart at a cost of $2,400, one pulse
oximeter at a cost of $4,800, Clinical staff gowns at a cost of $1,200
a 100, and one week of dental supplies at a cost of $2,000.
If any of you were inclined to fund any one of these projects yourself, I can assure you it would be most appreciated and put to good
use. Grand Prix Region plans to organize a visit for our members to
the clinic sometime soon but, until then, they welcome anyone who
would like to stop by and see what they do. Barbara Lieberman-Jones is our main contract at CDHC. Give her a call at (562) 933-0602. They are located adjacent to Miller's
Children's Hospital at 455 East Columbia Street in Long Beach.
Next month we'll talk about ASUDEC, Africa's Sustainable Development Council and the
work they do in Burkino Faso.

Book Reviews for Porschephiles
by Bruce Herrington, Riverside Region
US Route 99: Travel America's "Pacific Highway"
by Michael Newlon, published by Outskirts Press Inc, Denver, CO
Third in a series, US Route 99 is even more profusely illustrated than the previous books. In fact, the story of US 99
is largely told through the enhanced captions to the pictures
presented in the book.
These pictures are very appropriate to
the visual treats the author was able to
find along his route. Unlike the Interstates which were designed to promote
long distance travel, the US routes were
designed to bring commerce to the
towns (large and small) of America.
The US routes used the 'Main Drag'
of the towns on the route, without the
bypasses and limited access typical of
the modern interstates.
The ability to see the various goings-on
in the towns along the route (including some of Greater Los Angeles),
adds to the charm of blue route travel
and, by reflection, to the charm of this
book. The author displays considerable
patience and perseverance in researching the history of the road, its alignment, and its associated
landmarks (for the benefit of the rest of us too preoccupied
with the modern world to search out the simpler life and
times of the good 'ol days).
Like his previous books (US Route 395 and US Route 95),
this book is dedicated to an individual who had a significant
impact on the US highway system when it was an unheralded forerunner to the Interstate System we know today.
The author tells how the support of and opposition to the
US highway system made for some strange bedfellows. Mr.
Thomas H. MacDonald, to whom US Route 99 is dedicated, served as Chief of the Federal Bureau of Public Roads for
34 years, an accomplishment of longevity which is interesting reading in its own right.
usurped by the Interstate Highway
System we now know and love(?).
Unique amongst travel books, Mike
Newlon's books always have Porsche
content. He
always works in
commentary specific to matters of his
vehicle, a Porsche 912. These discussions are above and beyond his discussions of the scenery, the history of the
highway system, the historic markers
along the way, and the specific history
of the road in question.
Like all long distance travelers, the
author of this book encounters a few
trials and tribulations with his vehicle.
As part of the travel, they (and the
people he got to meet because of them),
are duly reported in this travelogue.
A comprehensive listing is included,
of informational and Porsche service
resources along the route.
US Route 99, with 87 profusely illustrated 8-1/2x11” pages,
may be obtained for $24.95 at your favorite bookseller (ask
for it), or directly from the author at http://www.highwaytripbooks.com.
Ed: Mike Newlon is a member of the Riverside Region of PCA
US Route 99 logs its travels from the southern terminus
at Calexico, California to the Canadian Border at Blaine,
Washington, on sections of a 1959 highway map. This map,
very appropriately, presents US routes as the main highways
of the country, as they indeed were before that honor was

Board Meeting Notes — June 5
Marty Goldsmith, Secretary
President Suesan Way called the meeting to order at Frisco's
at 1045. Other board members present were Marty Goldsmith, Greg Schill, Hazel Hofsess, Jimmie Mitchell and
Skip Carter. Members present were Frank Medrano, Carlos
chang, Jack and Ginny Case, Norma Dawson, John and
Patty Reilly, Albert Franco, and De Jur Jones.
Discussion started with a review of preparations for the July
Photo rallye. Then it was reported that the financials for
Buttonwillow event are not final, but show as close to breakeven. The event would have been less successful without
the Southern California support. The event has a tentative
schedule for next year of the second week of March.
Suesan reports that we have over 40 entries for Pomona, so
success for that event seems assured. There was discussion of
the financial and operating arrangements for that event.
Skip brought up the issue of buying Chatterbox student/
instructor intercom systems for use in our driving events.
There was generally favorable response, but the issue of sell
or rent was not resolved.
It was moved and passed that board members and chairpersons be allowed to spend up to $100 a month without priori
board approval. It was also moved and passed that a budget be submitted and approved by the board for all events
requiring an outlay of funds.
Greg Schill stated that our finances are in order, and he is
working up the final numbers for the concours.
George, the Frisco's manager proposed the notion of having
regular evening car shows at Friscos. There was brief discussion of the possible nature of such events.
Jimmie spoke of having ads on our website. Skip suggested
that simply having a link to a sponsor page that would have
banner ads with links to advertiser's websites might work.
There was a discussion of the desirability of letting vendors
other than our advertisers make presentations at our meetings. Consensus was that permission should be evaluated on
a case by case basis, and denied if the party was a competitor
to any of our advertisers or supporters.
The meeting was adjourned at 1240.

Tech Notes from Tony Callas & Tom Prine
(courtesy of Callas Rennsport)
Automotive Brake Fluids
Porsche brake systems (as with most automobile manufacturers) utilize brake fluid to transfer the mechanical energy generated throughout the brake system when one’s foot applies
pressure to the brake pedal. Starting at the master cylinder,
the brake fluid is pushed through the brake lines under high
pressure to the brake caliper at each wheel of the car. In the
United States, brake fluid is classified under a Department
of Transportation (DOT) number, the most common being
DOT 3 and DOT 4, which are glycol-ether based and are
water soluble. DOT 5 is a silicone (synthetic) based fluid
that should not be used in cars with anti-lock brakes (ABS).
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture
(water) from the air in the atmosphere. Moisture enters
the brake fluid through various ways, the main path being
through the vent in the brake system fluid reservoir. Moisture can also enter through a process known as diffusion,
where air molecules penetrate through rubber seals and rubber brake hoses. The process of water contamination starts
when the brake fluid can is opened, and it never stops.
Brake fluid is categorized as either dry or wet. The fluid
is classified dry when there is no moisture content (new
fluid) and wet at the point when moisture content can be
measured. As the moisture content in the brake fluid goes
up its boiling point drops significantly (water boils at 212
degrees F). When the brake fluid temperature increases (at
the brake caliper) the possibility of boiling the fluid becomes
a reality and the result is known as brake fade (the brake
pedal becomes spongy and stopping distance is increased
dramatically). This is a huge problem for a Porsche owner, as
stopping is as critical to performance as acceleration. Brake
system fade is also possible through for other mechanical
reasons, but all are related to heat. Moisture also leads to corrosion because of the oxygen present in water. This corrosion
damage can lead to substantial costs considering the expensive components involved.
Contamination in the brake fluid also has a tendency to
break down the interior rubber of the brake pressure hoses,
not to mention the internal rubber sealing rings in the various components (brake master cylinder, calipers and the
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) components). Under normal operation, brake pressure hoses constantly expand and
contract and, over time, these hoses deteriorate and should
be inspected when your car is serviced. Brake fluid should
42
be changed or flushed at least
annually to get the moisture and
contaminates out of the system.
When brake fluid has been in
service for one year, there will be
approximately 1% contamination
from water.
The automotive brake system is sealed, so it should never
need topping off unless your brake pads are excessively worn
or in the case of a leak. Since DOT 3 & 4 brake fluids are
glycol-ether based, they are very flammable and will also
damage paint on contact. DOT 5 will not damage paint,
but is not recommended in motorsports applications due
to its tendency to carry air. Please note: We do not recommend DOT 5 (Synthetic) brake fluid due to the potential for
suspension of air bubbles.
ATE SL is a standard DOT 4 brake fluid which is very good
for most any road driven car. ATE TYP200 and ATE Super
Blue are each the same, the only difference is that one is gold
and one is blue (some people like to alternate colors when
flushing the system. This way they can see when all the "old"
color has been replaced). These are great for club autocross
and amateur track events.
Another option for track car brake fluid is the Motul
RBF600. In our opinion, the best brake fluid for motorsport (professional or otherwise) is Castrol SRF but it is very
costly. For 1990 and later Porsches, we recommend ATE
SL6, which is a low viscosity brake fluid designed more for
the ABS braking and traction control systems that have very
small and intricate orifices.
Check the wet and dry boiling points on the brake fluid can
to get a good idea of the quality in regards to temperature.
Brake fluid is wet basically from when the can is opened. It is
a good practice to replace your brake fluid once a year.
Ed: Tony Callas is one of those rare breed who was "born" into
his career. His dad was a Porsche mechanic and Tony just grew
up in the trade. Callas Rennsport is one of those shops that's
kinda like a Porsche Candy Store. You never know what exotic
Porsche you might stumble on.

MINUTES OF SPECIAL BOARD MEETING
HELD JUNE 5, 2010
fees, $425; CPA fees for analysis and return prep for four years,
$2150; total $7840.
Background: On May 26, 2010, President Way notified all board
members by e-mail that Treasurer Schill had discovered that
GPX had not filed income tax returns (Federal or State) for years
2006 onward. We also were found not to have Federal status as
a non-profit corporation. He had consulted with competent legal
and accounting professionals, and with appropriate staff at PCA
headquarters. They all advised to proceed to remedy these omissions as quickly as possible. Therefore President Way called for a
special meeting of the Board to be held after the regular Board
meeting on June 5, 2010. Meanwhile Treasurer Schill would develop further information concerning actions to be taken, as well
as developing estimates of our potential liabilities and costs for
professional services.
Treasurer Schill then presented a draft resolution which outlined
the present situation and which directed and authorized the actions he would need to take to resolve our problems.
The special meeting convened at 1200 at the home of Secretary
Goldsmith. Present were President Way, Secretary Goldsmith,
Treasurer Schill, and Directors Hofsess, Mitchell and Carter.
Vice-president Mills was aware of the meeting and its purpose but
could not be present.
As written, the resolution offered by the Treasurer could not be
passed, so appropriate modifications were made. The Board then
decided to vote on the resolution, with the understanding that if
this meeting was found to be improperly held, another meeting,
properly configured, would be necessary to pass binding action. If
this meeting is found to comply with laws and the by-laws, then
the resolution would stand.
Treasurer Schill outlined the situation, and provided two items for
consideration. The first was an estimate of our financial exposure.
The estimates can be summarized as follows: Federal tax, interest,
and penalties, $5000; State tax, penalty, late fees, $265; attorney
At this point, Director Carter expressed an opinion that the
meeting we were having was improperly called, no notice having
been given to the general membership, and thus was illegal. After
discussion, it was realized that we had with us neither a copy of
State law nor our own by-laws, and a determination could not be
made at that time.
Director Carter withdrew from the meeting, having an appointment at the Fairplex concerning our forthcoming Autocross.
The meeting adjourned at 1330.

On Monday, June 7 Treasurer Schill provided the attorney with
our by-laws, and the attorney gave him a copy of the pertinent
State law. The attorney concluded that the meeting as held complied with both. Therefore the resolution as passed is appropriate.
The resolution is as follows:
RESOLUTION OF THE GRAND PRIX REGION OF THE
PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA
The undersigned, being directors of the above named corporation, and pursuant to Section 7211 (b) of the California Corporations Code and the bylaws of this corporation, do hereby vote for,
consent to and authorize the adoption of the following resolutions,
and any and all actions contemplated thereby, it being understood

of the board of directors held on June 5, 2010.
UNFILED FEDERAL & CALIFORNIA INCOME TAX RETURNS

such a case and has received recommendations from an accountant
and an attorney as well as the Accounting Manager at Porsche

WHEREAS, the failure to file such income tax returns ordinarily incurs penalties and interest on the income taxes due; and
WHEREAS, the Treasurer has engaged on behalf of the corporation SUE RAZZETO, CPA to calculated the overdue income

the best interests of the corporation and its members to timely file
all required income tax returns and to pay all taxes due in a timely
manner.
THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED that the Treasurer's actions
in investigating these matters, his attempts to resolve them and
his engagement of outside professionals are hereby ratified and
approved and the corporation will pay all amounts billed to the
corporation by such outside professionals or shall reimburse the
Treasurer for any amounts he incurs by reason of his investigation
of these matters and attempts to resolve them; and
RESOLVED FURTHER, that as soon as possible the Treasurer

before the taxing authorities in an attempt to reduce penalties and
perhaps interest imposed for failing to file such returns and pay
taxes when due; and.
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Treasurer prepare and file a
federal application for tax exempt status for the corporation using
the services of SUE RAZZETO, CPA as necessary to complete
such application and the application process; and
RESOLVED FUTHER, that the Treasurer is hereby instructed
to prepare and file all future required federal and California
