PRE-CONCOURS DETAIL CLINIC Following our Santa Barbara Breakfast Meeting SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 11AM-2PM At LAVAGGIO in Agoura Hills In preparation for our 35th Annual Concours d’Elegance, we’ve scheduled a Detail Clinic to teach you how to better prepare your car for competition (or fun) in less time. Learn new techniques and discover all the latest products to make your car sparkle. Understand the Zone 8 competition rules and find out exactly what the judges look for when examining a car. Expert instruction will be provided by our own Dick Douglass, an experienced Concours Judge. A detailing demonstration will show the best way to use the newest products in preparing your Porsche. Plus, lunch will be served at the beautiful Lavaggio facility at 30205 Canwood Street, Agoura Hills (Reyes Adobe exit off the 101). The price for the clinic and lunch is only $15.00 per person (at the door). If you plan to attend, please make a reservation no later than September 5, 2011.

In the last two months, they will have each made a significant contribution, over and above financial, to the success of our club. The Auto Gallery sponsored the Gimmick Rally in June, which was enjoyed by all who participated. I am composing this column immediately after the very successful July 31 autocross sponsored by Santa Barbara Porsche. “Tech support” for the autocross, consisting of 62 vehicle inspections, was generously furnished by our friends at Schneider Autohaus. Although the publication deadline means that my prose is prospective as to the following, Rusnak Porsche will have hosted any member who signs up at a Member Appreciation Day where their mechanics will work on their Saturday day off to help us take a discerning look at the needs of our cars. Sure these folks are promoting businesses, but their efforts go far beyond the commercial aspects; we all have made lasting friendships at each of these establishments. Our club thanks all of you. I’ll add a word of thanks to our many advertisers – in large part thanks to you we are lucky to have the best local car club magazine I have ever seen. You’ll see a full article on the Chili Cook-Off in this issue. Thank you Jim & Terry Middlebrook and everyone who participated. Mark the fourth Saturday in July, in pencil if you wish, each year for this event. The Middlebrooks enjoyed their “executive” parking spot at the Camarillo breakfast. If you don’t know what I am talking about here, see the Chili Cook-Off article on Page 16, or the Camarillo Breakfast article on Page 7. Stars of television, Hal & Terry Jandorf led us on a trip to Mt. Pinos, where we could gaze upon the stars of the universe. The trip was enlightening and fun. More appears on Page 13. The efforts of everyone involved in the July 31 autocross were over the top. I competed for the first time in the 356, and am proud to say I finished first in my class. A little luster was removed from that achievement when someone pointed out that I had also finished last in my class. Suffice it to say, it was fun for me, and to all appearances, to all who participated. A special thanks to Porsche Factory Driver John Lewis, who spent most of the day riding along with us amateurs, providing pointers. Fellow first timer Ingrid Martin dropped her lap time by eight seconds when John rode with her! Her ear-to-ear grin was priceless. Even almost 50 years later, I wake up in a cold sweat the night of the second Sunday in September, thinking school will start the next morning. Once that nightmare has concluded I’ll head to our web site: pcasb.org and discover I’ve already missed both 4 September breakfasts, the detail clinic on September 10 (see Page 2) and the PMS Boat adventure. Don’t you miss them. Also see Page 29 for the James Dean run September 25. October 9 will bring our concours. See Page 15 to sign up. Karen Turek will chair a raffle at that event, the proceeds of which will benefit Habitat for Humanity. Donations will be gratefully accepted to lend some excitement to that raffle. We’ll also need lots of volunteers to help the concours run smoothly. Our hard-working autocross crew will put on yet another one on October 29, this one an “extra,” and this time specifically to benefit the aforesaid charity. Please sign up to drive, help, participate AND bring your family/friends out for a day of fun that will help some folks looking only for a hand up, not a hand out. We are planning a fun day. See Page 30. As activities chair Ted Lighthizer says, “Keep the shiny side up.” From The Editor’s Desk John Alfenito A s we approach the fourth quarter on the events calendar, things get busy, which is good. It gives us all a wide variety of activities from which to choose, and fills up the pages of Der Auspuff with articles that will, hopefully, inspire you to participate with this fun club. This month, Ted Lighthizer contributes a great story on the 15th Annual Chili Cook-Off held at the beautiful home of Jim & Terry Middlebrook in Santa Rosa Valley. And, not only did Ted write the article, he entered his chili recipe in the event, and took first place(!), scoring the coveted Lady Scoville Perpetual Trophy. Congratulations to Ted. That was some darned good chili! From the Astronomy Department of Moorpark College, Hal & Terry Jandorf, once again, took a large contingent of SBR members up Mt. Pinos for spectacular star-gazing. It’s amazing what you can see in the night sky when you are outside the interference of the “light pollution” from the L.A. metropolis. David & Susan Stone offer the concluding part of their “treffen” adventure this month. I’m sure their descriptions have more than a few of us considering similar adventures in the future. Lots to do; lots to read about. Until next month... September 2011 • Santa Barbara Region • Porsche Club of America • www.pcasb.org STRAUSS LAW G RD U PAPC DAVID L. CUNNINGHAM DAVID L. DAVID L.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, And too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

More than 140 participants arrived at the Way-Point Café, but most were driving their Porsches. In fact, the 64 Porsches on the lawn far outnumbered the “alternate” models, but there was a wide variety of “others,” nonetheless. From Dinos to AMGs to a Honda S60, there was plenty to look at and lots to discuss. President Bill Sampson called the meeting to order, introducing Membership Chair Janice Herndon, who provided the daily tallies of members and cars present. Activities Co-Chair Ted Lighthizer promoted the upcoming calendar of SBR events, including the Rusnak Westlake/SBR Appreciation Day event to be held the following Saturday. Rusnak Service Manager Sam Abergel spoke briefly, inviting everyone to come to Rusnak for this free event. As the meeting came to a close, many members were looking forward to the “Porsches2Pinos 2” event scheduled for that evening. Moorpark Astronomy Professor and SBR member Hal Jandorf would once again take a group to the top of Mt. Pinos for some star-gazing, unobstructed by the city lights.

Perhaps more than a few “alternate vehicles” of the classic era stayed safely in their garages this morning, but a strong group of 29 Porsches filled the Moby Dick parking lot on Stearns Wharf. The 54 members and guests were treated to a roomfull of friends and good conversation. SBR President Bill Sampson introduced Membership Chair Janice Herndon, who recognized new members Frank & Anna Donahue from Ventura, Rod & Camille Conde of Thousand Oaks, and Stan & Ellen Windrem from Ventura. Also, it was duly noted that our good friend and SBR collaborator, Randy Leffingwell, is now officially (and finally) a member of the Santa Barbara Region! Activities Co-Chair Doreen Pankow promoted the upcoming calendar of region events including the two Camarillo Autocrosses this month and next, the second event (Oct 29) to benefit our 2011 designated charity, Habitat for Humanity. Also, the numerically significant date of 9/10/11 was sited for both the upcoming P.M.S. event and the Pre-Concours Detail Clinic. It was also pointed out, much to the crowd’s delight, that 9/10/11 is Doreen’s birthday!

Group Backroads Tour of Montecito Story & Photos by Nicolas Liakas T he tour of Montecito enjoyed by 16 R.U.F.ians on July 19, 2011 was originally scheduled for mid-April, but rainy weather forced its postponement. No such problem this time as clear blue skies and mild temperatures greeted our group in Summerland’s Lookout Park. This route (designed by Bob Roe and Suzi Sheller, with assistance from Tom & Arthea Hermann), would take about 45 minutes to navigate, and cover approximately 15 miles. A notable and unexpected sight occurred as we gathered at Lookout Park. All the Porsches were either black or silver – except the one driven by Fritz and Gretchen Olenberger. They arrived in their very bright orange special edition Boxster, and it caught everyone’s attention. A stark contrast to all the other vehicles, it was placed in the middle of the pack during the drive to serve as a beacon for those that might have fallen behind. We left the park at 11 a.m. and proceeded straight ahead under the 101 freeway and at the stop sign, turned left The Olenbergers’ Boxster and the view from Franceschi Park onto Ortega Hill Rd. At the top of the hill, we turned right onto Ortega Ridge Rd. After we crested this hill and started our descent, we looked down to our left.

We had 52 members Saturday night, August 6, and lots of Porsches. The participants enjoyed the drive up the mountain, the learning session under the stars, and also gained a bit of understanding about our magnificent universe. We provided three large telescopes to enhance the view of the cosmos. We were lucky with the weather, encountering perfectly clear skies and a refreshing 55 F nighttime temperature. It was like Mother Nature’s air conditioning compared to the heat of the summer day. However, it did seem to get a bit warmer after sunset, due to the high pressure that dominates Southern California. There were no incidents, and no accidents to report. No automotive breakdowns, or unfriendly bears, but a few members spotted a few meteors (“falling stars”). The brand new Holiday Inn was very accommodating for tired stargazers. The free breakfast was great, with sausage patties, biscuits and gravy, pastries, fruit and cereals. The two-hour drive on Lockwood Road and SR33 was a special treat for people who love driving on Sunday morning. What a road trip! Members extending the stay to Day Two were treated to continual esses, elevation changes, sweepers, sharp curves, roller coaster dips at high speed, and constantly changing, beautiful scenery! Our last stop was the Garden Terrace restaurant in Ojai. We had a serene ambiance outside with great food, comfortable round tables allowing for shared camaraderie without cramming, and a large group at a long table. A perfect lunch was the icing on the cake of a perfect weekend. But I think members’ comments are more “down to earth” than my descriptions. (See the reviews on Page 14.) = Photos by Hal Jandorf The happy SBR star-gazers enjoying a friendly Sunday lunch at the Garden Terrace restaurant in Ojai. www.facebook.com/PCASBR • Porsche Club of America • Santa Barbara Region • September 2011 13 Porsches2Pinos: 2 • The Reviews Are In! Porsches 2 Pinos 2 was successful not just from an artistic point of view, that is a chance to learn more of the universe around us, but also, important to this club officer, from a camaraderie and club building point of view . A number of newer and younger members attended. We especially enjoyed their company and their enthusiasm for a great event. Thank you to Hal and Terry. Bill and Rosemary Sampson The stargazing event was a wonderful way for us to learn about the night sky from a very knowledgeable teacher. Hal’s teaching experience with young adults came in handy with the sometimes easily distracted Porsche group. I always enjoy the Porsche drive the next morning and lunch in Ojai as much as the night event. Hal somehow texts the cars on the road ahead of us to pull onto the turnouts and allow us through. What a great event! Janice Herndon This was our first Santa Barbara chapter event and we really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for all your efforts and those of your astronomer friends for making this such a great event. The drive up to Mt. Pinos was beautiful, we met lots of friendly people, and nature cooperated by providing us with a beautiful clear night. We saw many wonderful objects through the various telescopes including a number of very dramatic views of the Moon, Saturn, star clusters and the like. The Sunday drive through Lockwood Valley and then down to Ojai on 33 was great, and it could not have been a more perfect day for driving. We look forward to seeing you again. Mark Stankevich and Victoria Meyers We had fun, learned a lot and froze. All good.The drive back to Ojai on Sunday was delightful, a celebration of where we live and what we drive.Slower traffic actually used the turnouts to let us pass unimpeded! Amazing! Joe and Kathie Schneider Thank you again for the great weekend of experiencing the night sky. We learned even more this time. It is so exciting to be able to “see” what is out there!The roads to drive were fun as well, and of course the “group experience” makes for a total great weekend. Diane & Mike Macdonell Thanks for the wonderful event you planned and pulled off with great aplomb! I think we were all amazed by your star-spangled showcase that informed and amused us all. We were dazzled by nebulae, twin star systems, the awesome rings of Saturn, the demise of Polaris as the brightest star in the night sky and a host of other heavenly bodies, including two wish-making falling stars! The ride back was fantastic with great roads, a great pace, a parade of Porsches and a wonderful lunch to cap off the weekend. Looking forward to joining you and Terry on the next stargazer! Robert Franssen Thank you for a wonderful time! We really enjoyed the company, lessons on astronomy and wonderful drive. The beautiful scenic drives up to Mt Pinos and between Mt. Pinos and Ojai were spectacular. We learned a lot about the galaxy, planets, constellations and stars. It was amazing by how quickly and easily you were able to find the nebulas and stars through the telescope using the laser sight. Thanks again. Andrew Louie Manish and I joined at the last minute for this wonderful trip so well organized by Hal Jandorf to the very last detail. It was an absolute adrenalin rush as an army of Porsches glided up Mount Pinos to learn more about the universe. Hal was so patient with all of us as we asked questions that he usually gets from third graders. Never having seen Saturn and the moon so up close through a telescope before, this was a surreal experience for me. Manish was thrilled just to be following Hal’s green pointer in the sky through his binoculars and learning more about the various constellations. It was fun-filled, educational and humbling. I may just become a more frequent stargazer. Highly recommended! Kirti Deshpande and Manish Chitnis Thank you for an awesome trip. My most favorite part was Saturn, and being able to view the rings. We saw a couple of shooting stars too, of course we know they are not really stars! Please thank your friends for sharing their telescopes with us. It made the lines shorter and we got to see more. Looking forward to next year. Thanks again. Christine Taylor and Oscar Esquivel At the summit of Mt.

This friendly competition was originally hosted by Bob & Jeanette Bassett at their Camarillo home from 1997 to 2006. Everyone seemed to have a great time talking and making new relationships, which of course is the primary purpose of the event. Seventy-three members attended this year’s cook-off and 11 different chili recipes were entered in the competition. Members served as judges, taking samples scooped from each separate chili pot, and then evaluating each by preference, voting for #1, #2, and #3. The buffet line moved quickly thanks to the efficiency of our chili servers: Phyllis Weaver, Luz Mosesson, Pam Alfenito, Susan Stone, Linda Rubino and Stephanie Martin. After feasting on delicious appetizers, salads, and breads and tasting all the different recipes of chili, it was time for members to vote for their favorite chili. Barry & Valerie Weinstein counted and certified the ballots, and then Barry announced the winners. Ilene Freeman won 3rd prize for the second year in a row, and was given a fine assortment of auto detailing products. Jim & Terry Middlebrook won 2nd prize and received an even larger assortment of detailing goodies, complete with micro fiber towels and wash bucket. A big thank-you goes to Dick Douglass for The coveted Lady Scoville Perpetual Trophy, which is awarded each year to the chili chef whose recipe is judged to be the best. The eager (and hungry) judges file through the kitchen, taking a sample of each chili recipe in the competition. 16 September 2011 • Santa Barbara Region • Porsche Club of America • www.pcasb.org Third place winner Ilene Freeman Second place winner Jim Middlebrook providing all the detailing products given away this year at no cost to the club. Finally, this year’s Grand Prize winner was yours truly, Ted Lighthizer, who took possession of the coveted Lady Scoville Perpetual Trophy until a new champion is announced next year. As Activities Co-Chair, I was pleased to honor the Middlebrooks on behalf of the club, thanking Jim & Terry for hosting this fun event each year. They were presented with a reserved parking space, complete with a personalized sign to mark their exclusive spot at the club’s Saturday Camarillo breakfast meetings in the future. After the presentations, everyone rushed inside to enjoy the scrumptious desserts. Everything from the homemade cookies, Terry & Jim Middlebrook with their sign of “thanks.” 2011 Chili Cook-Off Champion Ted Lighthizer cupcakes, lemon bars and bundt cakes to the banana cream, lemon and apple pies were thoroughly enjoyed. We want to thank all the members who came early to help us get ready, and all those who assisted with clean-up. Pre-event setup was done by Gary Weaver, Dave Mosseson and Jeffrey Merrick, and on-site parking was handled by Bob Bassett, David Stone and Mike Macdonell. Brian & Linda Rubino, who do so much for the club with the Goodie Store, made quick work of washing the day’s dirty pans and dishes. Thanks again to Jim & Terry Middlebrook for making the PCA/SBR 15th Annual Chili Cook-Off one of the best ever! We hope to see YOU there next year. = Photos by John Alfenito Everyone agreed the competition was tough this year. www.facebook.com/PCASBR • Porsche Club of America • Santa Barbara Region • September 2011 17 porsche club of america / santa barbara region & rusnak porsche westlake present CAMARILLO AUTOCROSS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2011 Requirements: Safe and mechanically sound car.

Bring a friend! 18 September 2011 • Santa Barbara Region • Porsche Club of America • www.pcasb.org This Zone 8 event is sponsored by SANTA BARBARA AUTO-X By Dan Byers T he July 31st autocross at Earl Warren Showgrounds actually started a day earlier with a driver’s clinic at Santa Barbara Auto Group. Ben Schroeder from SBAG, our autocross sponsor, had arranged to have John Lewis, an instructor from the Porsche Sport Driving School, available for a clinic and question-and-answer period on Satuday afternoon. From 3-5 p.m. John talked to 20 of our members, giving them a better understanding of car dynamics, control, and what an autocross or DE is all about. The day of an autocross starts early for the organizers and volunteers. And this Sunday was no different. I arrived at the event site about 4:45 a.m. with the equipment trailer in tow. Figuring I would be the first one there, I was surprised to see the silhouette of a 911 in the dark parking lot. Art Grimmet had arrived before me, and promptly raised his coffee cup and asked for a refill. Art has always been a great supporter of the AX events and was a welcome sight so early the morning. My son Shane and I started to unload the contents of my family Suburban with Art’s help. It was only a few minutes later that my Dad showed up to help us for the morning, making it three generations of the Byers family on Overall champion - Henry Hinck in the Schneider Autohaus 1987 911 duty. My Co-Chair Martin Keller was next arriving and the clock was just striking 5:00 a.m. Martin was the mastermind behind the course design, which consisted of 41 corners in .61 miles, and along with Art and Shane, he began the process of course layout. By 6:00 a.m., several of the drivers and other volunteers had shown up. Ted Lighthizer and Doreen Pankow seem to be at every event the club does, and were at this one with the high level of enthusiam only they can bring. Ted jumped in on course duty, while Doreen made sure everyone signed the waiver form, and had “Cone Killer” Bruce Pence (l) is congratulated by SBR President Bill Sampson. a bracelet fitted. David Stone showed a little later in morning to help with waivers and gate patrol. By 7:30 a.m. the course was complete. Most everyone had been through tech, and made their way to registration to get their AX packet. Janice Herndon did a fantastic job managing the registration during the morning, especially since she had just returned from vacation the night before. Henry Hinck from Schneider Autohaus once again was “tech inspecting” the cars with help from his staff. Our timing team of Jeff Merrick and Jeff Parker was joined by a new volunteer, Nick Sibersky. These three guys made sure the timing was correct and ran flawlessly. The drivers’ meeting started at 8:00 a.m., and I was able to give everyone a firm talking-to before we let them loose. Mike Turek, our new Safety Chair, was on site to make sure we adhered to all the rules and regulations that keep us safe. I introduced everyone to John Lewis, our guest instructor from PSDS. John was there to help anyone who asked for it, and I can’t remember him ever not being in a car or helping a driver learn the course in some way. It was nonstop for John, but he seemed to enjoy it. Our own Goodie Store, manned by the Rubinos, was on site to make sure anyone who felt the urge for a little shopping was satisfied. My son even found something to get that lightened my wallet but was well worth it.

The Cayenne Hybrid, Panamera, and Carrera GTS were a hit. I can personally attest to the ability of the GTS. It really is a grocery-getter and track vehicle all in one package. After a morning of practice runs, we were all ready for some lunch, especially Dick Douglass, who was manning the starting line all day. Aaron from QTime BBQ was on hand to make sure we all had plenty of fantastic food. You know the food is good when drivers get quiet when they’re eating. The official timed runs took up the afternoon, and we had some very competitive laps. The talent was deep for this event, and the timing crew figured it would come down to not only a fast run, but a clean run. At the end of the official timed runs, Henry Hinck took top time of the day with a 70.165. Several drivers were right on his heels, but Henry was mistake free with a very fast run. I would like to note that our president, Bill Sampson, took top time in his class. He was feeling the heat from several other drivers, this being his first AX, but he was able to focus and win class AS.

Driving the German Autobahn at high speed in a 911? Touring on back roads through the beautiful Austrian countryside and over the Alps? Sampling the local cuisine in ancient castles and farmhouses? Or visiting the original Porsche factory, the new factory and new Porsche museum? Recently, five SBR members and a guest did just that and more on an eightday “Treffen” (German for meeting), sponsored by PCA and Fast Lane Travel, Inc. of Clearwater, Florida. It was truly a bucket-list experience to remember. The first part of our journey was documented in last month’s issue. This month we present the concluding chapter. On Thursday, both Treffen groups took a motor coach to the Porsche factory and museum. Beginning with the museum, we thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour through this architectural marvel that provides a showplace for Porsche models developed over more than 60 years. After the tour, there was time to browse on our own, take pictures of the beautiful cars on display and shop in the boutique on the first floor. The museum also offers a highly rated restaurant for those who wish to spend the day. Some of us took time to visit the dealership directly across the street. This two- story structure had a nice inventory of new and used models, including two Carrera GTs, and a high-end boutique offering clothing, luggage and other items. It was interesting to note that the price of a new Porsche purchased in Germany is much higher than one purchased in America. Porsche heavily subsidizes the cars sold here to maintain a strong market. Thank you, Porsche! At noon we walked to the Porsche Factory grounds across the street and had lunch on the top floor with management personnel and customers taking delivery of their new cars. Once again, we found the cuisine delicious and the service impeccable. After lunch, we separated into two groups for our factory tour. Our guide was a graduate student who worked part time for the company. We visited the parts delivery department, the engine assembly plant and the body assembly plant. We watched as the completed cars came off the assembly line for transfer to the final inspection area and to new car delivery. During our tour, we encountered PCA President Manny Alban and members of his executive staff who had come to Germany to meet with Porsche management and were also on a factory tour. We would meet them again for dinner that night. Dinner was indeed something special that evening. We took a motor coach to Castle Beilstein for a raucous medieval dinner. We were met by a bagpipe player wearing pointed shoes and bells on his right ankle who led us, bagpipe skirling, up the steep pathway surrounded by vineyards to the castle entrance. After champagne on the fortress wall, we entered the cellar where the meal was served. We were issued large bibs as the roast pig and other meats were presented on platters. Our large steins were kept full throughout the evening as periodic salutes were yelled out by the guests at each table. Julie was selected to carry out the tradition of pouring schnapps down the throats of willing guests, which included Manny and his wife. Manny then presented Peter with a PCA flag commemorating the long-term relationship PCA has enjoyed with Fast Lane Travel. PCA national staff conducted video interviews with some of the Treffen participants about their experiences. Look for them on the PCA website. On Friday, we were treated to a private tour of the Tech Art headquarters in Leonberg where skilled workers customize Porsches to their owners’ specifications. Modifications can be made to the body, interior, suspension and engine to enhance what Porsche provides. We saw work being done on a dozen cars, including several Cayennes, and a fully modified Panamera was one of the cars on the showroom floor. The company now has a facility in Texas to better serve the U.S. market.

Claus and Iris took us to their lovely home for lunch and provided a wonderful variety of German fare. We happened to see their other 911 Cabriolet, which stays in Germany, and met their talkative, very special Dalmatian, Arco. Later that afternoon, Both Treffen groups headed out to the Cannstatter Volksfest (Beer Festival) in the Grandl’s Hofbrau Zelt. This is one huge annual celebration under an immense tent and is reported to be more fun than the Munich Oktoberfest. We all thoroughly enjoyed the good food, ample spirits and the local revelry. The German people certainly know how to party! Returning to our hotel in the early evening, a few of us again walked the Konigstrasse where displays were being staged for the 125th Anniversary of the Automobile celebration scheduled for the following day. All the major automobile manufacturers had a presence, and a large number of privately owned vintage cars were also displayed on the lawns. We learned that Porsche #1 and other historic models would be driven to the site from the museum to join the celebration. Unfortunately, our train to Frankfurt left in the morning, and we had to miss the festivities. This was truly a unique, fun-filled week that we will all remember. Peter Sontag is a master of organization and attends to every detail, right down to the gifts left in our rooms each night.

www.facebook.com/PCASBR • Porsche Club of America • Santa Barbara Region • September 2011 27 August 10, 2011 - 6:30 p.m. – Santa Barbara Auto Group SBR Board of Directors Meeting Thank you Santa Barbara Auto Group and Walt Branscome for hosting this month’s dinner board meeting. Present were: Bill Sampson, Dave Stone, Nick Liakas, Michael Brovsky, Steve & Janet Kaller, Walt Branscome, Janice Herndon, Joan & Chet Yabitsu, Don Kuckenbaker, Brian Rubino, Jim Brown, Carolyn Ewbank, Martin Keller, James Oldham, Mike Turek, Harriet & James Edwards, and Nadine Tracy. Secretary: The July minutes were approved as submitted. Vice President: No report. Treasurer: Steve presented his Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss YTD Comparison, and Profit and Loss Previous Year Comparison. Discussion followed. Steve has set up a special account to keep control of all contributions to our charity that are made payable directly to them. At the end of the year this account will be closed but total funds raised for our 2011 charity will include this amount. Membership: During the month of July, Janice reported that six new members joined our region. At month’s end, membership stood at 701. Activities: Please review and sign up for upcoming events: September 10th PreConcours Detail Clinic at Lavaggio, September 17th Camarillo Autocross, September 25th “Rebel Without A Cause” Run, October 9th Annual Concours d’Elegance, and October 29th “Cones for Homes” Autocross in Camarillo. Editor: Mike Pomerantz has merged his Oxnard Sir Speedy franchise with the Camarillo store. The Der Auspuff print job will also move but Mike will continue to personally oversee our magazine’s production as well as its bulk mailing. Our excellent service should continue uninterrupted with the September edition being the first to be printed in the Camarillo facility. Distribution: As a follow-up to last month’s distribution discussion, Chet found out that the $953.03 cash balance left in the SBR Permit #238 account is refundable but the $185 Permit Renewal Fee paid on March 16, 2011 is not. A motion was made and passed to allow Chet to fill out the necessary refund paperwork. Mailing costs for the Der Auspuff may increase due to post office changes in processing facility locations. The board will address this matter and future distribution options. 753 copies of the August issue were mailed out of the Oxnard Post Office for a postage cost of $321.31. Advertising: Don advised the board of advertising changes as well as revenues billed and paid. Discussion followed. Goodie Store: Brian reported sales as follows: July Autocross $647.50 with a profit of $223.31, August Camarillo breakfast $152.00 with a profit of $39.05. The Goodie Store was reimbursed $248.27 for expenses. Insurance: Jim has filed all certificates through the end of the year. Concours: Carolyn reported that all details of the Concours are moving along smoothly. Trophies, judge’s gifts and dash plaques are being purchased. The Detail Clinic on September 10th is starting to fill up. Autocross: The July 31st autocross was a great success with 63 drivers and lots of happy spectators. Thank you Santa Barbara Auto Group for being a sponsor for this event and, we look forward to working with you on future autocross events in Santa Barbara. Dan will be inventorying the trailer. Four fire extinguishers need to be recharged and all will need to be checked before the 2012 season. Dan will forward receipts for these expenses. He is confident that both the September and October events will be filled to capacity and will be very successful. Volunteers are needed for both autocross events. Archives: No report. Webmaster: It was another active month for the Santa Barbara region, resulting in a number of updates to the PCASB website. The Other Events Calendar added activities including the “Day Away From Work” at Streets of Willow and the “Rennsport Reunion IV”. Finally, the July 31 Autocross results were added to the Event Results. Also, thanks to those who have added images to our Flickr PCASB Group at http://www.flickr.com/groups/pcasb, we have a regularly changing supply of new images on our website. If you’re an existing Flickr user, images submitted to that group will “auto-magically” appear on our PCASB.org website. Please contact Randy Fishwick with any questions. Safety: Mike worked with the Autocross committee to establish an updated first aid kit for SBR events. Mike bought the kit and was reimbursed. P.M.S.: The group will be having a boating event on September 10th and encourages signups. 28 September 2011 • Santa Barbara Region • Porsche Club of America • www.pcasb.org R.U.F.: The July tour of Montecito with bring-your-picnic lunch was attended by 16 R.U.F.ians. The tour concluded with a visit to the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum’s Butterfly exhibit. The August 25th event will be of Houweling’s Tomato farming operation in Oxnard, which will be followed by lunch at Los Arroyos Mexican Cuisine at the Camarillo Outlets. Past President: No report. President: The Chili Cook-Off and the Santa Barbara Autocross were outstanding events this month. Many thanks to all who put these events together and special thanks to board members Dan, Martin, Doreen, Ted, Janice, Dave, Dick, Karen, Mike T., Brian, Linda, and Michael B. & Beverly who all put in long hours at the autocross. Santa Barbara Porsche stepped up big time to help. The Porsche driver, John Lewis, was a smash hit also. Bill sent thank yous to PCNA, SBAG, and Schneider Autohaus. Bill met with Des Warren of DSR Audio and the bigger sound system is now ours. This will greatly improve how we conduct that meeting. Please urge your fellow members to hold their conversations for the few minutes the meeting lasts. The Zone 8 Concours School was a success thanks to Carolyn and Dick. It was well attended both from within our region and the Zone. Thank you Mike Turek for attending the autocross as the Safety Chair. His presence will improve our readiness for any problems that might arise. Bill is looking forward to the October 29th autocross that will benefit our charity. Old Business: Der Auspuff future distribution plans were discussed. Martin said that the EZ Up tent has been purchased for future club events. A list of prospective officers and directors was presented by the Nominating Committee. A 50th Anniversary Planning Committee has been created and members named. New Business: Printing costs for the Der Auspuff were discussed. The September board meeting will be held at Carrow’s in Oxnard and the October meeting will be held at Lavaggio in Agoura Hills.

By appointment, individuals were able to meet one-on-one with a service professional, have their cars put up on a lift, and stand by the technician as a front-to-back inspection took place. To say that members were pleased by this complimentary benefit would be an understatement. In addition to the free inspections, General Manager Keith Goldberg and Service Manager Sam Abergel provided refreshments and beverages, substantial discounts on parts and accessories, and the bonus of free car washes following the inspections. A really useful event that we hope our friends at Rusnak will make into a tradition. = Rusnak Service Manager Sam Abergel made all of us 356 1 11/6/10 11:36 AM Page feelServices_11_2010:Layout very welcomed, indeed.
