7 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. Several locations were considered, and after much inventigation, the Lakewood Country Club was selected.

Our long term members will remember that this is NOT the first time Lakewood has hosted us. Concours Chair Dal Lee 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 ma- ture trees created a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. It was also quite a treat having an indoors, sit down lunch. The food was Claude Mitchell excellent, and the white linen didn't hurt. Many thanks to both our Grand Prix Region team and Lakewood staff for helping create Ruben Archilla & Illery Gomez such a successful event.

Another side of the coin was the participants and the cars. Dal decided to honor 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. Sally Carrera Porsche 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 writ- ing a series of books on historic highways. His first two books, U.S. Chuck Bartron and his award winning Turbo 95 and U.S. 395 were available.

A GPX Tour to Mammoth & the Eastern Sierra September 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!

11 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 me 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...

Michael Dolphin, Arturo Chaparro & Luis Perez

On Saturday afternoon Leamon Stansell had an off- course excursion, resulting in a slight modification to his left front fender (above photos). It was Mugs and Rochelle Booth quickly determined that his weekend was done at the track map unless a repair could be made.

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 GPX pits did include some camping, and lots of good food expect at see at PCA events, and I've rarely been (too bad I don't have pictures from Friday & Saturday BBQs disappointed.

15 BreakfastThe Circuit 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 Steve Firshein Mark Dodson 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. Scott Gambrell Julie Fogg

At the meeting, our President, Suesan Way, presented David Carlson of the Orange Frank Medrano Stephen Krupnick Ralph Arredondo Coast Region, and Steve Firshein of the Grand Prix Region, their RS Spyder Watch Claude Mitchell 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 (Af- rica'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. Leamon Stansell Arturo Chaparro

Besides the great food and service always provided by Frisco's, we heard from speak- ers 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 Robert Friedman 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, John Reilly the meeting was very informative. Dal Lee

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 Gold- smith, 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 break- even. 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 chairper- sons be allowed to spend up to $100 a month without priori board approval. It was also moved and passed that a bud- get 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. Specialists In Classic And There was a discussion of the desirability of letting vendors Contemporary other than our advertisers make presentations at our meet- Porsche Service & Accessories. ings. 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.
