One lucky person attending the breakfast will win a free meal at our next quarterly dinner! January 2017 Trivia Question Winner Joe Beerer won a free quarterly dinner by “knowing” that one of the Porsche 919’s energy recovery systems was a motor-generator on the front axle. To be more precise, previous incorrect answers had established that one of the Porsche 919’s energy recovery systems was a motor-generator on an axle that was not the rear aXle so what Joe knew was that front aXle was the aXle that was not the rear aXle. You had to be there. sgvr.pca.org 5 of 45 facebook.com/PCA-SGVR San Gabriel Valley Region PCA Zone 8 2014 Region of the Year Weekly Update 31 January 2017 Greg Hwang of House Automotive donated a second free meal at a quarterly dinner and Zone 8 Representative emeritus Mike Dolphin held the winning ticket.
