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

11 The Circuit Christmas Auction Flight Story & Photos by Marty Noonan January 21st, a Sunday, was a beautiful day to go fly! Patricia Johnson, GPX member and fa- mous local artist, bid on the “One Hour Flight in the Los Angeles Area” that I donated for the silent auction at the 2006 GPX Christmas Party last December.

Arrangements were made to meet at the Long Beach Airport where I keep my Beechcraft Bonanza. The skies were blue and tempera- tures mild. For a route I chose to depart to the West and over fly over LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) through the Special Use Corridor. On a clear day this route affords the quickest way out of the basin toward the North and West. The Santa Ana Winds were forecast to develop in the afternoon, so I suggested we fly to Camarillo Airport and have a Sunday brunch at the Waypoint Café, located on the Southeastern ramp of the airport. Judging from Marty Noonan, Patricia Johnson, Norm Abell and N3952A at Long the PCA decals on the doors, this is a popular Beach Airport before the flight eatery for both pilots and land based drivers of all kinds. The Waypoint Café (805-388-2535) any turbulence and rough air associated with the Santa Ana is famous for their Tri-Tip Sandwich! conditions. The initial 10 minutes or so were like a “Roller coaster ride” according to Patricia, who now occupied Patricia wanted Norman, a pilot and flight instructor, to the co-pilot’s seat. Norman said it interrupted his nap! It sit in the right seat on the outbound leg. I performed the smoothed out nearing Santa Monica and the trip over the pre-flight prior to Patricia and Norman’s arrival so all we top of LAX was smooth and clear at 3500 southeast bound. needed to do was load up and start this great adventure. At We landed at Long Beach Airport (LGB) on 7L and 11AM, we departed on runway 25R to the West and climbed taxied back to parking around 2PM. We took some more to 4500 feet to transit the corridor over LAX. Over Santa photos to commemorate the event and put N3952A away Monica we turned direct to Camarillo and started a slow for the day. All of us had a good time and the GPX Region descent over the West end of the San Fernando Valley.

The flight took a little over 30 minutes from Long Beach to Camarillo at 150 Kts.

The Sunday airport traffic was already busy taking advan- tage of the beautiful weather. We landed to the West and taxied up to the Waypoint Café and deplaned. Norman & I ordered the Famous Tri-Tip Sandwich and Patricia stayed with a Chef Salad. The lunch was very enjoyable, chatting about Porsches, airplanes and Patricia’s wonderful garden.

By the time lunch was over the Santa Ana Winds had picked up and the runway for departure was 08 (East). I chose to fly out over Point Mugu and stay low off the coast to avoid

It doesn’t end there either… the last new member comes compliments of Jimmie Mitchell and Michael Dolphin, who told Melinda Wilson about the meeting.
