5 Monterey Car Week — It doesn't get better that this! by Skip Carter photos by Jimmie Mitchell, Roy Lock & Skip Carter

I'm writing this for people who have never been to the Paul Newman / Dick Monterey Peninsula for the Historic's. The two anchor Barbour / Rolf Stommelen events, the Historic Automobile Races at Laguna Seca, Hawaiian Tropic 935 and the Pebble Beach Concours are, arguably, the best events of their type in the world.

The roots of this week go back to the Pebble Beach Road Races of 1950-56, run under the auspices of SCCA (Sports Car Club of America). A fatality (Ferrari meets Cypress tree), marked the end of that era, but a group of local businessmen saw opportunity for a permanent race track that would not be lined with trees. They founded the Sports Car Racing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP), conceived and built Laguna Seca This 1937 Horch 853 Voll and Ruhrbeck Sport Cabriolet (above & Raceway. Pete Lovely won the below) got everyone's attention on the streets of Carmel, and took first race at Laguna Seca driving Best of Show Sundat at the Pebble Beach Concours a Ferrari on November 9, 1957, and SCRAMP still operates the site under their original charter.

In 1974 the inaugural Monterey Historic Automobile Races took place with Ferrari as the featured marque. It is the granddaddy of Historic Races. For 36 years, Steve Earle and General Racing have produced this event, but Can you say "Gulf Porsche" ??? on August 17, it was announced that SCRAMP is taking over from General Racing. Steve says that he will continue this tradition at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma in early June next year. This certainly marks the end of an era. The first time motorcycles have been on the lawn at Pebble Beach, here The Pebble Beach Concours was first conducted in 1950. is the 1930 Scott Flying Squirrel with Jay Leno and owner, Scott Young Each year, on an August Sunday morning, 175 of the most prized cars in the world roll onto the 18th fairway at Pebble Beach. They are judged for historical accuracy, technical merit and style. There is no higher standard than Pebble Beach. On the Thursday before, these same vehicles Tour Advantages of being at the track early included no crowds the nearby hills and valleys, pausing for lunch on Ocean AND watching morning workout Avenue in downtown Carmel by the Sea before returning of cars like the Porsche F1 and Indy car to Pebble Beach. That lunch stop is one of the very special by Klaus Bischoff of the Porsche Museum opportunities for visitors to see these cars actually driven and have an opportunity to meet and speak with the owners and caretakers before the drama of the actual Concours three days later.

The list of "secondary" events that have sprung up around these two events is staggering. Many of these would stand alone in other settings, but here they are second best. I've put together a list of many of these, and dug up links to several of their websites. You can see some amazing things on these. I'll include these lists at the end here.

The weekend before this hosts the famous Pre- Historics at Laguna Seca. I understand that this weekend event is a casual way to get the forthcoming week to a good start. It is less On the lawn at Pebble Beach crowded and more informal.

In its third year, Concours on the Avenue is held on Stephanie & Bruce Anderson in Carmel as Don Murray's 550 Spyder passes a 14-square block area of downtown Carmel. Featured are post-WWII cars dating from 1946-71. The Porsche portion is headed by Bruce Anderson, and the event is rapidly gaining popularity. How much better does it get than having "attainable" vintage cars on Ocean Avenue and the side streets of Carmel, with jazz playing the background and at an extraordinarily fair price — free? Grnad Prix Region members, Cecelia and Vince Knauf were there showing their BMW Isetta, which is always a head turner. It's a car that just makes people smile.

Grand Prix Region group waiting to tour Speaking of Grand Prix Region members, about the Leyton House 962 the third day Suesan noticed that we had run into a large number, so we started keeping track. We didn't see everyone (and certainly don't know all GPX members by sight), but our list went well This 1937 Horch 853 Voll and Ruhrbeck Sport Cabriolet (above & below) got everyone's attention on the streets of Carmel, and took over 50 before the weekend was over. That's Best of Show Sundat at the Pebble Beach Concours pretty amazing.

Roy Lock, Jimmie Mitchell, John and Patty Reilly, Dick Inman and Michael Dolphin have helped with photos. Roy and Dick have sent stories, so we're in good shape.

Suesan and I arrived Wednesday evening and felt Michael Dolphin & Brian Redman like we never had a moment to relax, or just walk around the wonderful shops of Carmel and other parts of this area. Next time I guess we need to arrive at least two Erin, Maxx & Fred Kominsky days earlier. I may run out of vacation time.

917K-023 won LeMans in 1970 with Hans Herrmann, Richard Attwood, Vic Elford & Kurt Ahrens driving. Vic Elford set fastest lap (241.235 km/h) and took pole (242.685 km/h). After coming so close so many times, this marked Porsche's 1st over win at LeMans... the first of 16, a feat unmatched by any other manufacturer

By the way, in 1970, Gerard Larrousse & Willi Kauhsen came in 2nd overall behind this 917K driving a Porsche 917LH Saving the Best for Last story & photos by Roy Lock

In 2008, we heard the honored marquee for the 2009 Monterey Historic Automobile Races would be Porsche. We immediately set out to plan our trip to the event. Little did we know it would mark the end of an era, the last MHAR to be organized by Steve Earle’s General Racing. This 36th and final event was Porsche’s 3rd time around, the last being Porsche's 50th Anniversary in 1998.

Over the years many side events have sprung up around the Monterey Historics and the Pebble Beach Concours. It sometimes looks like Tom Malloy giving GPX members an up close and personal tour of the Leyton House 962, courtesy of Marc Bixen and Ernie Becker a 3-ring circus with supporting shows, street dis- plays, tours, auctions other concours and more. The side events are a car enthusiast's dream with endless variations, like Haggarty’s "Dawn Patrol”, a gathering of hardcore enthusiasts who Frank Lock and Sir Stirling Moss meet at Pebble Beach as cars are unloaded and placed.

DeWayne Ichiriu My son Frank and I "camped out" at Laguna Seca Roy and Frank Lock for four days. Wow! Four days? How much can you see in four days? Not nearly everything. Where else does so much history come together in one setting? Famous cars and drivers were everywhere!

As we entered the paddock we saw our favorite car, the awesome Porsche 962. Not one, not two, but three of them (and this was just the beginning). As we walked further we literally ran into cars. Here is another one of my favorites, the Gulf Wyer 917K - four of them. And, John Horsman, the engineer Porsche racers staging for Thursday's photo op at Laguna Seca who tamed the 917 with his famous tail design, was there to sign autographs! Not one, not two, but three 962's as soon as we enter the paddock Thursday is the day the official event photograph is taken, the photographic opportunity of the week. I was fortunate enough to get in the cherry picker to take the photograph for myself (see cover). Getting all those cars together was like herding cats. It took about an hour to setup the shot. I counted 91 significant Porsche racers. Cars that missed the photo included the 804, 718-2, 936/81, and other 917s, 962s, Abarth Carrera GTL, 904s, etc. The only significant Porsche race car I had not previously seen was the 804 Formula 1 car. Well, there is was next to it is the 718-2 Formula 2 car.

Access to all cars was excellent. What made this display an eye and ear catcher was the morning warm ups. The cars that would do the demonstration laps were started and then mechanical condition checked out by Klaus Bischoff of the Porsche Museum. Each car was ran about 5 min- utes, The sounds were sweet and deafening. Jerry Sein- feld brought a stable of cars. My favorite is 550 Le Mans Coupe, 550-003. It is the former Carrera Panamericana Klaus Bishoff from the Porsche Museum. Fletcher Aviation racer number 159 and in restoration. His job is to exercise the museum cars - daily So much happens in the paddock that if you stand still you miss 90% of the action.

What a treat.

There were many things to do and see. I keep saying this but, after 4 consecutive days, we still wanted more. We were all over the track, shooting from the Corkscrew and other vantage points.

Fred & Maxx Kominsky So, as we were leaving Laguna Seca on Sunday afternoon, DeWayne Ichiriu I was able to reflect on the 36 years of Historic Racing here. My first race was 1982, the first year Porsche was the marque. At the second Porsche event in 1998, I drove my 1962 Roadster, repre- senting the '62 model year, on the presentation lap for Porsche production cars. This Historics I was able to share my experiences with my son, Frank. All are memorable in their own way, and I will cherish each fond memory.

20 But for the Love of Learning September 09 by Norma Ann Dawson (with sidekick Suesan Way)

There is a direct correlation between the level of poverty of a country and the level of illiteracy of its population. Over 58% of the 14 million inhabitants in Burkina Faso are under 20 years old. Over 45% of Burkina Faso’s population live below the poverty line. Less than 45% of the children in Burkina Faso attend school and less than 20% attend secondary school.

Children who do not stay in school do not develop the practical skills necessary to deal with life, exposing them to various abuses. Unschooled children are more likely to migrate from rural agricultural areas to cities. In cities, unschooled children are more likely to be the victims of child trafficking. They are more likely to be involved in drug trafficking. Girls are more often forced into prostitution and boys into gangs. Unschooled children have a much higher incident of HIV/AIDS exposure than schooled children.

Africa Sustainable Development Council (ASUDEC), which GPX has sponsored for the past three years, has developed a holistic approach to the education of unschooled teenagers in Burkina Faso. While working to improve family income to allow children to attend school, ASUDEC has engaged in attempting to solve the problem of educating the more than 50% of Burkina's unschooled children. To this end, ASUDEC has proposed an innovation in education which aims to: 1. Give a more practical direction to literacy, rather than teach reading and writing only for its own sake, as is the current practice; and 2. Integrate the traditional education systems, the classical education systems and the educational approach of the former Training Centers for Young Farmers (CFJA) in order to make it possible for the child to evolve intellectually as well as technically while remaining in full contact with his culture and ancestral values.

In other words, it is a question of creating truly authentic schools that communities would be proud of promoting and whose costs would be reduced, compared with the classical school system. With the support of the Alpha Program of the Swiss Co-operation, a pilot school following this new system was inaugurated during the school year of 2006-2007 in Naviergane village in the Southwest, while a second school is under construction. At least four schools of this type will be necessary to allow a consequent evaluation and a validation at the national level.

In the June 30, 1961 edition of the New York Times, President John F. Kennedy, designating American Education Week, said: “Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.”

Our nation and the world have changed a great deal since President Kennedy’s potent words 48 years ago. We are now part of a global community, a global community where providing education for all who desire it can be translated into benefit and greater strength for the entire world, not just one nation. Help the world by joining GPX in its support of ASUDEC efforts to find a better educational system for Burkina Faso’s over flow of unschooled children.

21 Member Profile: Patricia Geary Johnson

Many of you know Patricia Geary Johnson, because she and her sidekick, Norman Abell, are regular attendees at most club functions. You've also seen several Circuit covers that have shown Patricia's talent with water color. What most of you probably don't know is that Patricia is an internationally-famed watercolorist and prize-winning fine artist, specializing in pure transparent watercolor, wet into wet with dry brush accent.

This last June, over fifty-five of her original paintings were on display in San Francisco at the Campton Place Taj Hotel. The show included many painted in her job as an official US Navy Combat Artist. Commissioned works of domestic and foreign classic cars were also on display.

In addition to her first prize at the recent Porsche Parade in San Diego, her water colors have been selected for permanent display aboard various US Navy ships, in the Pentagon and in the Ronald Reagan library.

One of her more interesting paintings was the official poster for the Coronado Historic Races a few years ago. It is a fanciful scene of patriotic red, white, and blue racing cars (including a white Porsche), coming down an imaginary dirt track superimposed on the deck of an aircraft carrier. Signatures bordering the painting are many of the 300 drivers.

Several GPX members own Patricia's paintings. Each Fred Astaire's 1927 Rolls Royce at the Bel\verly Hills Hotel year she donates a painting to our Holiday Party Silent Auction. Patricia then does an original painting of the winner's Porsche. This is always one of the most popular items at our Silent Auction.

Patricia’s exhibitions include shows at the California State Museum of Science and Industry, the Los Angeles Maritime Museum, the Long Beach U.S. Naval Station, the Samuel B. Morse Gallery at Robert Louis Stevenson School in Pebble Beach, and the Palos Verdes Art Association. Additionally, her one-woman show has appeared at the Ruth Bach Memorial Library and the Dana Branch Library in California. Her “Irish Castles” series, commissioned by the Irish Tourist Board, has been displayed at Long Beach Memorial Hospital and has now returned to Ireland.

Blarney Castle in County Cork

Two Porsches and the aircraft carrier, Ronald Reagan As an instructor, Patricia has taught drawing Septemberand painting 09 for the U.S. Navy Special Services, the Palos Verdes Art Association, the University of Southern California at Isomata (Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts), and California State University Long Beach. She also teaches part-time and lectures at several additional academic institutions.

She has trained with California watercolor Harrier AV-8 hovering over the U.S. Navy helicopter carrier, artists Rex Brandt, Phil Dyke, Emil Kosa, Jr., USS Pelican (MHC-53) Robert E. Wood, Millard Sheets, George Post, and Richard Haines. Additionally, she studied with U.S. Naval artist Arthur Beaumont.

Patricia received her B.A. at Stanford University, studying under internationally known watercolorist and author Daniel Mendelowitz. She has also done graduate work in painting and drawing at California State University Long Beach and at the Otis Art Institute.

It is a true pleasure having Patricia and her art as a part of the Grand Prix Regioin so, if you'd like a painting of your car done by Patricia, our silent Auction on December 5 is a great opportunity.

Brita and I were curious enough to pay a visit to Polly’s and the owner, Mike Sheldrake. We were delighted with what we found. My first question to Mike was: “Are you a Porsche owner or club member?” To our surprise, he was not, although he does own a Karman-Ghia (which he restored) and a VW panel van. It turns out that Mike is the Major Domo for the annual Belmont Shore Car Show, put on in September by the local business association (thus his interest in things automotive).

Polly’s has been an institution in The Shore since 1976. It was originally a part of the Polly’s Pies chain, supplying all their coffee. Mike, the then manager, bought the coffee business in 1989 and has operated it ever since, hands-on. Their key feature is the 1925-vintage German coffee roaster, which is in operation every day. It is gas-fired and roasts 15kg of green coffee beans in a batch. In a typical six-hour operating day, it produces about 600 pounds of roasted beans. Mike assures us that being a mechanic is part of owning a classic coffee roaster!

Polly's uses 23 types of raw beans. From them they can blend 70 varieties of coffee ready for grinding and use. We can assure you that the product is quite fantastic! Customers can have their coffee by the cup or by the bag. The store has a large outdoor seating area, and smaller space inside. Pastries, scones, muffins, cookies and croissants are prepared daily. An added attraction is the Friday night (7:30 PM) Classic Movie presentation. Admission free - You call in advance to get the program.

In addition to the in-store retail business, Polly’s supplies coffee to all the Polly’s Pie shops and to many other wholesale customers. We saw several hand-truck loads of boxed coffee going out to the Long Beach Airport. Mail order gift packs are also available.

Mike has chosen to advertise in The Circuit, and that ad enticed Brita and I to visit. It will be a pleasure us to frequent Polly’s in the future.

So, if you are a discerning coffee drinker, we suspect Polly's will make you smile.

And, don't forget to mention where you saw the ad!

Dan Gurney’s foreword touches on their shared personal developments: Dan as a driver, and Jesse as a photographer. As Dan says, “Jesse Alexander’s photographs beautifully capture the passion and hard work required then to put a race car in the winner’s circle”. Jesse’s unique ability to capture the feeling of motorsports, in picture after picture, makes this book more than worth its $75.00 price tag.

Because his photos are so great, some of them will be familiar as ‘Classics’. But, since the entire book is from Mr. Alexander’s personal files, the vast majority are newly available pictures, in the same character as the classics.

Organized by venue rather than chronologically, the character of these early motorsports events comes through clearly. The people in the pictures seem to be causal — friendly sportsmen focused on the fun of the events, not businessmen focused on the dollars (or what the lawyers would do if given half a chance). As Dan Gurney’s introduction says: “You can almost feel the camaraderie among the competitors”.
