Th is column was written on the Fourth of July, a day on which many of our region’s members were closely monitoring the fi restorm on the edge of Goleta and Santa Barbara. We know that many had to evacuate their homes, including family of yours truly. We hope and pray that none suff ered serious loss of property, and of course that no one sustained any injuries. Unfortunately, this is becoming an annual phenomenon and seems to grow in magnitude each year.

It is our fervent wish that our club activities provide a respite and escape from the trauma infl icted by the inferno. If we can off er comfort to those aff ected, even for just an hour or two, with our camaraderie and compassion, we shall serve a vital purpose.

By the time this is published, our 2008 Chili Cookoff will be history. We already know that attendance will be excellent as

advance registrations are outpacing last year’s record numbers. We are indebted to Jim and Terry Middlebrook for their generous and gracious hosting of the annual event. Coming in August is our annual progressive dinner, and this too will be a sellout once again. Oscar and Toni Briones have put together a fun fi lled afternoon, with great food at wonderful locations. Th ere is still time to register; see the fl yer in this newsletter. On August 10 we will celebrate our return to Autocrossing in Santa Barbara. Michael Zois is chairing this competitive event.

September 13 will bring us a clinic for concours. It will be conducted at Porsche Santa Barbara and will divulge techniques the pros use in concours preparation. You will have an opportunity to put these lessons to use at the October 12 Concours on the campus of Santa Barbara City College. On that latter date there will be a small silent auction for the benefi t of Th e Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and the grand raffl e prize will be the two day Porsche Driving Experience in Birmingham, Alabama. What a prize! Th e following weekend, on the 18th, we will be sponsoring the CFF walk-a-thon in Santa Barbara. We are still not done for October as our (sometime) annual Poker Run will be chaired by Ted Lighthilzer and Doreen Pankow on the 25th. It will be coupled with a catered bar-be-que lunch at Lake Casita. Details on all of the aforementioned can be found in this newsletter.

Our region is taking the national lead in off ering a variety of social, technical and competitive events. Join the fun and share in the adventures, and please consider assisting us by serving on the club’s board of directors in an elected or appointed position. Your participation and involvement are equally desired.

Offi cer Pedeff eri Returns HomeEarly this year, the Santa Barbara Region opened its heart and generously supported the family of California Highway Patrol Offi cer

Tony Pedeferri who almost lost his life when a driver high on marijuana and ecstasy struck the offi cer while on patrol duty on Highway 101. Th e crash left another driver dead. We are pleased to advise that Offi cer Pedeferri was brought home during the Fourth of July weekend after spending six months in hospitals in California and Colorado. All of us send our very best wishes to Offi cer Pedeff eri and his family as they continue to work on his recovery.


www.pcasb.org

Th e fi res have subsided, and our fellow Porsche members have returned to their homes. Th e community cannot thank the valiant fi refi ghters enough for their hard work in the protection of our lives and property. Th ey are all so much appreciated.

Your Board of Directors has worked very hard all year to organize and guide the Club to achieve our current level of participation and excellence. Th e Santa Barbara Region is a very active group with a heavy schedule of events. A new ballot for offi cers is being developed to choose the 2009 Board of Directors. If you would like to participate and help take the Club to its next level, now is the time to think about what you would like to do and to let the current board know of your interest. Th e votes will be cast in November and the new offi cers announced at the Holiday Party in December.

Th e Club is very excited about the grand raffl e prize at the concours being held on Sunday, October 12, in Santa Barbara. Th e

lucky winner will receive a two-day, high-performance driving course given by the Porsche Driving Experience at Barber Motorsports Park near Birmingham, Alabama. Th e course has a value of $2995 and is donated courtesy of Porsche Cars North America, Santa Barbara Auto Group and Walt Branscome. If you have not participated in an event spearheaded by our concours chair, Bill Sampson, you are in for a real treat. It is guaranteed not to be boring.

Th e detail clinic to prepare for the concours is to be held at Santa Barbara Auto Group on September 13, 2008, following the Santa Barbara breakfast. Th e clinic will feature well-known and knowledgeable Porsche enthusiast and concours judge, Dick Douglass, who promises to furnish the correct answer to this quiz at the “school.”

How do you clean your windows for a Concours?a) Spray the entire window with cleaner and wipe dry with

newspaper.b) Spray the towel and wipe the windowc) Spray the entire window and wipe with a clean towel from

the dryer.d) Spray with clear water and wipe dry.e) Dance with the girl you brung to the dance.By the end of the clinic, you will be able to answer this question

as well as many more. Th e things you never thought you might do with a cotton swab. For a fi rst-timer’s report on how to prepare for the event, you might contact Chet Yabitsu (with his ever-helpful better half ) for his tips on preparation. Th ey were the winners of the President’s Choice Award. Or you might contact veteran David Stone who won best in class for wash-and-shine. Contact Bill Sampson to volunteer for the concours and join in the fun.

I hope to see you at the events. Travel safely.

June 22nd brought the New Members’ Picnic to honor all new members of the Santa Barbara Region over the past two years. Organized by Dave Mosesson and a healthy crew of volunteers, the bar-b-que was held at Freedom Park in Camarillo next door to the airport. Even the brutally hot weather did not deter the 100 plus in attendance, both present members and new sign-ups. Th e event was also a fund raiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, our charity of choice this year. With a silent auction (thank you Carol Mathieu,

Shannon Kavanaugh and their crew of volunteers and sponsors), a raffl e of car-care products, a booth from Rusnak Porsche, who also graciously sponsored this event, and our own PCA/SBR Porsche Goodie Shop (thank you John and Jeanne McNair), the picnic was a rousing success. Raising a whopping $2,220 from all of the above

activities for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, we couldn’t be more delighted and proud of our members. Way to go all!

Members began arriving around 12:00 p.m. Bill Sampson took it upon himself to lead only dark-colored Porsches through the dustiest part of the park rather than coming in on the paved road. (Bill was overheard muttering something about wanting to try donuts in the dust.) We’re not sure, but wearing that hat, we think that Bill may have escaped from the movie set of Jumanji. Dave Mosesson was thrilled that Nancy Maletz agreed to drive his Turbo while he placed signs out on the main road alerting drivers as to the whereabouts of the picnic. (Obviously Bill missed these.) On the way back, Dave was heard to be muttering something about needing a new clutch

– but it was hard to hear even though the car was only going 10 MPH – but at 7,000 RPM’s!!

While Mike Turek and Nick Liakas boldly manned the scorchingly hot bar-b-que, Marge Misevic began mixing up the salad. Unfortunately for Marge and the rest of us, she mistook the horseradish for the ranch dressing with some interesting results. Caesar salad with quite-the-kick may become a new rage! Marge also prepared the salsa and guacamole, adding her own little extras which more than made up for the horseradish salad. Th anks to Chef Leon Steff y for preparing and marinating all that chicken and beef. Sadly, there is a lot less mooing and clucking coming from the fi elds! Attendees had the choice to browse

the scrapbook table, peruse the items from Rusnak, have their faces painted by aspiring artist Anna Carastro or just socialize with other members. Th e silent auction got underway with people bidding on an array of prizes. Items off ered were everything from gift baskets from Trader Joe’s and Starbucks to personal off ers from Mike Hodson for a private ride in his airplane to the Tureks’ sailing excursion on their boat. Mike Hodson also supplied the

music for the afternoon. Another Mike, Mike Dolphin, the Zone 8 representative, was also present with a donated Porsche DVD that he said was “unobtainable.” But we got it! Th anks Mike. Everyone showed their truly altruistic nature to raise money for this great charity.

Lunch was served at 1:30 p.m. with tri-tip, chicken, hot dogs, baked beans,

“horseradish salad” and garlic bread. We fl ew through 180 bottles of water in no time, but the weather was accommodating. Between shade and a nice breeze, the heat was quite manageable. Dessert included chocolate and vanilla cakes, and huge cupcakes for the kids. With only one unfortunate incident of keys being locked in a trunk, the day came off without a hitch.

At the end of the day, we counted the votes for the concours and reverse concours.

Th e People’s Choice Award was given to Joe Carastro for his 2006 Ruf Cayman S. Joe was awarded a $100 gift certifi cate to Griot’s Garage. Despite a ballot stuffi ng attempt to name a certain yellow turbo cab as the most cosmetically challenged, the award was presented to George Lehtinen for his dark blue 1965 356C Coupe – his daily driver. George was awarded a bucket full of car care products. With 50 new members and 50 “old timers” in attendance, the Newcomers’ Picnic was declared an unbridled success. To all those who volunteered their time, sweat and cleaning supplies (and Carol Mathieu for getting there at 3:30 a.m.), the decorations looked great as we sat at clean tables and benches. Shout out to Jeannette Bassett, Olga Liakas, Shannon Kavanaugh, Stephanie Mann, Phyllis Weaver, Jeanne McNair, Susan Stone, Karen Turek and the assorted men who helped. Th ank you one and all for your generosity and participation. We look forward to doing it again in two years.

New Members’ Picnic Silent Auction a Huge Success. Th ank You, Th ank You!

Despite the hot weather, the New Members’ Picnic Silent Auction was a great success. With balloons dancing in the wind, members shopped the auction items and made their bids. Competition at the auction was spirited, and the highest bidders celebrated by picking up their hard fought winnings. Th e biggest winner, however, was the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with all monies collected going towards our grand total.

We would like to extend much appreciation and gratefulness to the members and companies below that contributed auction items. Th ank you!

R.U.F. California Oil

Museum AdventureArticle by Frank and Kelly LadwigPhotos by Nick Liakas

We just put some 40’s music on the XM in order to write the report on the July 17th R.U.F. event at the California Oil Museum in Santa Paula. It seems fi tting since the day was a step back in time at the museum as well as at the Deer Lodge, our restaurant location.

Sixteen Porsches of all colors and vintages left the Oxnard Costco parking lot at 9:45 a.m. after signing waivers, paying R.U.F.-ian ransoms to Nick and getting directions from organizers, Frank and Kelly Ladwig. Th e group set off on a circuitous route through Camarillo and the fertile countryside, though pastures and vineyards, passing ranches, villas, a wedding chapel, and an alpaca ranch. Finally, turning up Balcom Canyon Road, we crested at the peak to be greeted by a contrasting, stark, desolate, white, steep expanse. Traveling down the approximate 20 degree grade to South Mountain Road, we proceeded as a veritable parade into Santa Paula where we were greeted by blocked parking places on Main and 10th Street in front of the California Oil Museum.

Th e museum staff had graciously blocked the street parking for us in appreciation of our visit and they were k n o w l e d g e a b l e , helpful, and friendly throughout our tour.

Our entourage was split into smaller groups to better see the various areas: the upstairs offi ces, the oil rig, and the artifacts and dam disaster. Th e original Union Oil Company’s renovated offi ces

from the 1920’s occupied the 2nd fl oor complete with an authentically furnished apartment for the supervisor’s family. He was on the job 24 hours a day as he had to be available to record and advise anyone with a new oil strike, anywhere, anytime.

For many of us the furnishings brought back memories of days-gone-by. Michael Brovsky noted a Regulator clock identical to the one in his grandfather’s Colorado store. Karen Turek remarked on the total absence of the female gender from any aspect of the operation. Karen Kahn was amazed to see the apparent mint condition the company stocks were still in despite not being preserved under glass all these years, and Linda Kuckenbaker illuminated us with her knowledge that Saudi Arabian oil is clear gold color and local American oil is black.

Some folks enjoyed looking at the full-scale, actual oil rig that was found buried in an avalanche a few miles outside of Santa Paula and rebuilt on site. Nick tracked down why the gas of the day was called Union 76....it was 76 octane. Octane, by the way, is a measure of the auto ignition resistance and also the anti-detonation of fuel. Does that help? Frank noted that when he was in high school, gas was 28 cents a gallon, the same price on one of the antique gas pumps on display.

Other members covered the St. Francis Dam Disaster display that encompassed an entire room of the building. It has only a few more days before the exhibit moves on to another city. It was an awesome look at the second worst disaster to aff ect California in the fi rst half of the 20th Century. Coincidentally both major disasters, this dam collapse of 1928 and the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, bore the name St. Francis.

Th e dam that William Mulholland designed and supervised broke three minutes before midnight fi ve miles northeast of Santa Clarita and nine miles north of Saugus. It released 12.5 billion gallons of water to the sea, taking six hours to reach Ventura, sixty-fi ve miles away. It released what would be comparable to the volume of a river ten feet deep, one mile wide and six miles long.

www.pcasb.org

In more recent years some have said that the understanding of geology in 1928 wasn’t advanced enough to prevent the disaster. Th e dam was built upon shale and sedimentary rock, and Mulholland himself, as the engineer, accepted all the blame for the breach. He was vindicated in a court of law but was later quoted as saying, “I envy the dead.” He died several years later, a broken man, often repeating that if human error caused the disaster, then he himself was that human. More than 450 lives were lost in the fl ood including most of the children in an elementary school in its path.

Following our morning at the museum, we proceeded up 10th Street passing two bronze statues of the motorcycle cops at the Santa Paula railroad crossing. Th ese two heroes represented the offi cers who raced ahead of the torrential wave of water engulfi ng the community along its path and warned any unwary residents. You might want to check out the statues the next time you are in Santa Paula.

Our route next took us up and over the mountains to upper Ojai and down the twisties to the peaceful Ojai Valley. We paraded

through town and up Highway 33 to the Deer Lodge on Maricopa Highway. Th is old, western watering hole was established in 1932. Local cowboys and ranchers were its patrons - today Los Angeles car clubs and bikers are among the regulars. It is on the pathway to wonderful mountain rides. Worthy of comment are the giant rock fi replaces, reminiscent of a Montana lodge with the walls adorned with mounted large animals: gazelle, ram, moose, eland, and even a spread-eagle ostrich over the bar. Th e African eland was donated to the lodge in the 40’s when a local taxidermist closed his Ojai business.

Th e menu, while challenging for vegetarians, had an interesting plethora of wild game, including ostrich burgers and venison for some of the omnivores among us.

Th e food in general was excellent, the service friendly and the lone cook in the back room frightenly overwhelmed. However, slow service made for interesting conversations among new and old friends and certainly a relaxed atmosphere.

We all had a great time!

Camarillo

Breakfast

Meeting By Barry and Valerie WeinsteinPhotos by Ray Jordan

Ninety-eight people in 58 Porsches breakfasted together at the July 5th SBR Porsche Club meeting at the Way-Point Café in Camarillo.

Two new members from Westlake Village, Ed and Barbara Billig, joined us in their 2007 997 Turbo. Rich Kolosky

of Rusnak Porsche brought his father, Dick, who also owns a Porsche and was visiting from Las Vegas. Jon and Betsy Lutz and Kevin and Diane Grizard, long-time members who had not attended a meeting in quite some time, breakfasted with the club again enjoying both the food and catching up with various members.

Welcome to all of you – new members, guests and returning members. We look forward to seeing you at more of our events in the near future.

Th e microphone didn’t work, so those who spoke were forced to keep it short, as no one could hear them anyway. Most agreed it was a nice and appropriate way to spend the 5th of July – shorter speeches and more socializing.

Nick took the stand and introduced Membership Chairman Dave Stone who welcomed the new members and guests to the breakfast. Activities Co-Chairman, Oscar Briones, talked about the upcoming events. He mentioned that he was going to ask me to speak about the Chili Cook-off , but since Val was here, he was certain everyone would rather listen to and look at her rather than me, so he introduced Valerie to tell everyone about this month’s activity. Bill Sampson spoke about the SBR Concours to take place in October at Santa Barbara City College. Bill also told us about the detailing clinic planned for September at the Santa Barbara Auto Group for those who would like some tips on preparing their cars for the Concours.

Karen Turek and Nancy Maletz told the ladies about the Porsche Mademoiselle Society boating adventure in the Channel Islands harbor coming up after the

breakfast meeting on August 2nd.

For additional information on all these events, you can go to the PCA/SBR website or review your current Der Auspuff for details.

As it was diffi cult to hear the speakers

over the planes that were taking off towing advertisement banners, the offi cial part of the breakfast ended and members enjoyed individual conversations amid a bevy of beautiful Porsches.

July Santa Barbara

Breakfast MeetingBy Barry and Valerie WeinsteinPhotos by Ray Jordan

Th e sky was slightly overcast above the July 12th PCA/SBR breakfast meeting at the Moby Dick Restaurant on Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara. Th e sun did begin to break through, however, as the breakfast was ending around 10:15 a.m. Even with the grey skies, we still managed to attract a crowd of 55 people in 34 porsches.

A few years back this kind of participation at the Santa Barbara Breakfast meeting was unheard of. It would have been considered a major showing. Now 55 attendees is actually on the low side compared to the number in attendance at most Santa Barbara

breakfasts over the past year. We don’t know if this is due to the gas crisis, the fact that people

are away for the summer, or the overcast weather. Even so, the count was quite respectable. Parenthetically, the cost of gas and the housing crisis seem to be common subjects for discussion prior to the meetings. One of our long-time members even mentioned that

he and another long-time member have begun to car pool to the meetings as one way to help deal with the high cost of fuel.

After most were served, Nick took the stand and introduced Membership Chairman Dave Stone, who in turn introduced new member Jack Tiethof to the group. Jack lives in Goleta and drives a 2005 997. Jack brought a guest with him, Jim Koopmans, who also hails from Goleta. We’re always pleased to welcome new members and guests to our meetings.

Activities Co-Chair Oscar Briones talked about the upcoming club events. We have a full calendar throughout the rest of year. Th ere’s always something fun to do with our club on almost a weekly basis. Check out our website, or look through Der Auspuff for details and sign-up sheets for all of our meetings, events, and activities. Th e only caveat is that you sign up early for these activities as most sell out well in advance of the registration deadline.

Many believe that this is the most active Porsche club in the nation. After the announcements, members continued to enjoy each other’s company and conversation.

Amil Arerals and Juan Alva caught washing their cars right before the breakfast.

Th ere are resort Porsche Parades like San Diego and Steamboat Springs and there are downtown city Parades like Milwaukee and Cincinnati. Resort Parades lure us with sandy beaches or mountain views but, Charlotte’s glittering high rise buildings, appealing restaurants, and historical sculptures off ered a whole new Parade experience. We had the streets to ourselves for the Sunday concours. As we walked a few blocks from our Hampton Inn to Tryon Street, Porsches were everywhere. Concours cars, noses pointed outward from the curb, were parked diagonally for blocks

and blocks. Cameras clicked and clicked. A green 356 coupe, fi lled with the very best rally equipment of its day, drew a crowd of men also from that vintage.

No grass dampened our feet, no sprinklers impeded our progress. A brisk breeze tugged at wide-brimmed sun hats and the high rises shaded us from the sun. In fact, the weather the entire week was in the mid-eighties and the humidity around eighty percent. What a wonderful place for a concours.

Men in suits and lots of traffi c greeted us Monday morning as we walked past the construction site for the new NASCAR museum. We were on our way to Parade headquarters at the Westin to visit the Goodie Store and attend the rally workers meeting. We stopped to chat with Carolyn Ewbank, an SBR member and PCA National Membership Chairman. Also attending from SBR was Greg Young who judges in the Parade concours.

Th e Parade time-distance rally was a

four-plus hour drive in surrounding lush and green North Carolina countryside. Most entrants fi nished the event and were seriously ready for adult-liquid beverages at the fi nish. Finishing fi rst and second on the Rally were Californians Jay Tony and Tom Gould. Both partnered with their respective daughters for great fi nishes in this event.

Th e speed event was conducted in one day at a nice open venue. Th e course favored the best handling cars and was not so helpful for high horsepower entries. Th ere were many cars participating and the day was very long with a 914 taking top time of day.

If you have been to a Porsche Parade, you will recall you must sign up for table

seating for the two big banquets. Is it big? 2000 attended the Monday night banquet. We often choose two available seats at a still empty table because it’s a way to meet and get acquainted with members from all over the country. Th is time we enjoyed meeting and getting to know a couple from the

Orange Coast Region who are best friends with former SBR members Martin and Ankie Jensen.

While all the above was occurring, there were opportunities for gimmick rallying, tours of NASCAR Shops (Th e Roger Penske shops getting rave reports), tours of local museums and estates, and visiting the many vineyards in the area.

Once again, we came away from a place we fell in love with and memories of sharing our lives with old and new friends. Why? Because we choose to enjoy owning and driving a car known as Porsche.

Next year the Porsche Parade will be held June 29th through July 4th at the Keystone ski resort in Colorado. Th e location is a one-night, two-day drive from SBR. Give a thought to attending and join the large SBR contingent for a wonderful week with Porsche friends from around the U.S. More information will be in Porsche Panorama starting in November and frequently in issues of Der Auspuff .

Tech CornerDo You Have the Correct Car Insurance Coverage?

By PCASBR Member George Lehtinen Illustration by Pete Rancatore

What’s it worth to ya, fella? Well, maybe more than you think if you are talking about a 356.

For example, while waiting for my train home from the last Ventura Porsche Show, I had a conversation with father-and-son owners of a 1964 SC they have stored for at least the last 20 years. Th ey said the car is in good condition and had no substantial work done on it. As we chatted about 356s, it became clear that they are new to the modern Porsche world and probably had little idea of what their car might be worth. I told them I would buy them each a beer if they came within $10,000 of its worth. Th ey guessed $20,000 so they were both shocked, to put it mildly, when I showed them an ad in the September 2007 Porsche Market Letter (PML) for an un-restored 1964 Cabriolet for $130,000. I suggested that they subscribe to PML and get some advice from someone familiar with the value of 356s before they do anything to it. My train came just then and I left them in a very animated conversation.

A car has to be collectable when it is new or it becomes just an old car. Such an inglorious old age defi nitely has not been the fate for 356s and many of the original 76,000 are survivors today despite the fact that on a quiet night you can hear them rust. So desirable are they that, if you are lucky enough to own a high-end 1965 Coupe, its market value jumped from $26,000 in 2005 to $36,000 in 2006, to $55,000 last year and again to $62,000 this year. Th at is a breathtaking gain of 138% in just a few years. Cabriolets substantially out price the coupes and rare or specialty models like Speedsters have had six digit prices for a few years. And, as the father and son learned, a good, unrestored 356 carries with it the aura of rarity, genuineness, historical authenticity, and it may command a higher price than a similar model restored to better condition.

Th e rapid price increases make it prudent to “refresh” your insurance coverage. You can document an increased declared value to your insurer by using the September issue of PML, the June issue of the Porschephile magazine “Excellence,” or the ads in Hemmings Motor News and 356 Registry Magazine. Th e sources naturally vary a bit but they are consistent in revealing the recent sharp upsurge in 356 prices. Nothing could replace a totaled or stolen

pride and joy but an undervalued insurance settlement would make the pain even worse.

Th e run up in their prices may come from a weak dollar or perhaps Baby Boomers moving into retirement now have the time and money to reclaim a youthful passion. Whatever the reason, a 356 is not only a fun and friendly car, it is also a wise investment (or at least that is what I tell my wife.)

Note: Porsche Market Letter is an industry and enthusiast monthly available by subscription. It tracks sales prices with each month’s issue specializing in a diff erent Porsche type. It also has many commercial and private ads for cars, parts and services related to Porsches. PML address is P.O. Box 365, Ridgecrest, CA 93555. Th e website is www.pmletter.com. Excellence Magazine is a slick Porsche specialty publication available at many news stands. Th e Excellence website is www.excellence-magazine.com. Hemmings Motor News is a phone book sized national compendium of ads for every conceivable type of car and it is available at many news stands. Th e non-profi t 356 Registry organization’s bi-monthly 356 Registry Magazine is a high-quality, subscription-only magazine focusing on 356s. Th e website is www.356registry.org.
