By Joe Carastro Reports are starting to fi lter in from the Parade that indicates a good time is being had by all. There appear to have been some challenges that will undoubtedly be reported in this august journal but with typical Santa Barbara Region spirit, all appear to have been overcome. The rallye to the Parade gathered a warehouse of food items to be distributed – kudos to Burt Misevic and his legions of assistants. The dealers have received their fi rst deliveries of non-S Caymans and they appear to be greeted with open arms. If you haven’t driven a Cayman yet, now is a good opportunity to test both fl avors, suggesting perhaps, a short article by one(or more) of our members on the relative merits of the sibling crocodilians. Attention All Members: By the time you read this, we will be basking in the glow of another terrifi c German AutoFest – hope you were able to make it out for the orgy of Porschemania. In an echo of a recently past eff ort by Santa Barbara Region members at the Festival of Speed last spring, I was very pleased We Need Your to receive a substantial check from Zone 8 representing SBR’s share of the event profi ts based on the hours put in by region enthusiasts at the E-Mail Address! event. Most of the thanks go to Bob Bassett and Carolyn Ewbank for their eff orts in getting things organized. Region-wide, we are in an active search for interested members to serve on the Board of Directors. As is abundantly clear, the qualifi cations are minimal, requiring primarily a love of the marque and the ability to play well with others. Get in touch with Mike Hodson for more information or if you want to volunteer your spouse. Porschelly yours, Joe Please register at www.pca.org to ensure you are informed! For your privacy, the Santa Barbara region does not sell or distribute our e-mail list to anyone. Support your two local Porsche dealers! Go test drive a new Porsche today! 4 SEPTEMBER//OCTOBER 2006 PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA SANTA BARBARA REGION Editor’s Column Der Auspuff takes home another award! Words by Michael C. Harley I am pleased to announce that Nicolas Liakas, the Editor of Der Auspuff for the past several years, (before I stepped in) was honored at the Porsche Parade with yet another award! This time, Der Auspuff won First Place in Class IV, missing the top-spot Heinmiller Award by inches (well, judging is done with points, but you catch my drift). The judging was based on newsletters published in 2005. (This is the fourth year in a row Der Auspuff won fi rst place or the coveted Heinmiller Award.) Sadly, Der Auspuff is not eligible to win any prizes for 2006 – our decision to switch to a bi-monthly publication excludes us from the running. The big national event, the 2006 Porsche Parade held in Portland, fi nds itself as the cover story this month starting on page 17. Read about the SBR’s Charity Tour to Portland and the event itself on the following pages. Lucky for all of us, the Parade will be held in San Diego in 2007 (and another Charity Tour is already planned). Nickolas Liakas with the award PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA SANTA BARBARA REGION SEPTEMBER//OCTOBER 2006 5 Calendar of Events Check out what’s going on with PCA The Porsche Club of America is more than reading through the pages of Panorama and Der Auspuff each month – it’s about the events! With at least three organized events each month, Santa Barbara Region club members enjoy showing off (and driving!) their Porsches with other enthusiasts like yourself.
