The President’s Column

I

know how much each of you look forward to receiving der Auspuff in the mail and flipping through the pages to look for photos of yourself and your cars and to read about club events. It takes a lot of time and effort (approximately 20 hours per month) to put together each issue and many regions have stopped their print newsletters because they could not find volunteers to edit them. Santa Barbara Region is very fortunate that, after an unsuccessful 6-month long search to find replacements for Mike Kurreck and Carl Bell, Nick Liakas has volunteered to become the Editor of der Auspuff. This is his first issue. A big Thank You from all of us to Nick!

REM LAAN

If two months is too long for you to wait for the latest events, news and photos, then you can always go to our website at pcasb.org, our Facebook page at facebook.com/pcasbr, or our Flickr page at flickr.com/photos/pcasbr. Randy Fishwick has done a great job of improving our website and keeping it up to date and we have many others who contribute to our Facebook page and Flickr. Thank you all!

There are more than 2,000 non-profits in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. Why is it that so far, I have only received four

nominations for SBR Charity of the Year? If you have a charity to which you contribute your time and/or money and would like to nominate it, please email the name of the charity and why you think it should be selected to me by March 31st. Note: charities must be rated “good” or “exceptional” by CharityNavigator.com.

The board will select the SBR Charity of the Year at its May board meeting.

On a sad note I recently learned that Jim Hall Racing Club will be going out of business soon because Haas Automation has not renewed their lease. Our autocross course will become their new warehouse in 2019. Jim is a Santa Barbara Region member and graciously allowed us to use his track last year and for two events so far this year. Our search for a new autocross venue continues.

If you work at a company with a large, clear parking lot and have some influence please contact Glenn Crawford to discuss whether we may be able to use it for as our next autocross venue.

In a month we will be hosting Treffen Santa Barbara. This PCA national event sold out within 2-1/2 hours! The Region’s preparations are now complete and we look forward to welcoming about 250 PCAers and 150 cars from around the US to our beautiful corner of the World from April 3rd – 6th. Thank you to all of you who volunteered to help with Registration, Information, the Drives, and more.

Drive safely!

What, me worry? Alfred E. Newman Why am I doing this again – yours truly My management participation with the Porsche Club of America, Santa Barbara Region (PCA/SBR) started at the turn of this century as editor of Der Auspuff, a post I held for more than three years. I transitioned to region president, activities chair, co-founder of R.U.F., tour leader and several other responsibilities. I thought I was done but events and incidents beyond my control have brought me back – full circle.

Our club is very active and nationally recognized for its superior member participation, being named Region of the Year and having the Family of the Year honors, plus numerous kudos for our magazine. Lately however we have lost some of our steam.

Instead of a monthly and eagerly awaited full color magazine, we published only four issues this past year. For 2019, no one stepped up to act as editor, and our board of directors had to make painful decisions. It seemed as if we were facing the loss of our main source of communication with our members – the printed magazine – to that irritating and heartless inter-net. That would not stand! (George H.W. Bush.)

So, you are once again stuck with me. SBR will publish six issues of Der Auspuff in 2019 – for every odd numbered month. To assist in this endeavor, we have recruited a number of accomplished photographers, masters of the English language, graphic artists and proofreaders – and as important – writers and reporters. This first issue of 2019 probably has some holes and bumps, but all will be ironed out by the May issue.

Here’s what you can do to help: have fun, take part, make friendships, come up with ideas for club activities, adopt a leadership role, and offer to help. Not too much to ask for, right?

I am the editor once more of our beloved magazine.

SBR EXPLORES TUCSON Article by Barbara Hill Spencer & Doreen Pankow Photos by Barbara Hill Spencer & Ted Lighthizer

To start the year off right, our Santa Barbara Region traveled on January 25 to Tucson, Arizona for a fabulous fourday weekend hosted and planned by Jim and Barbara Spencer. We were joined by Porsche club members from Zone 8 and that made the trip even more memorable because we made wonderful new friends.

We started the weekend arriving at the beautiful Marriott Starr Pass Resort and Spa nestled in the Tucson mountains.

The weather was picture perfect. On Saturday morning we went to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum which is a worldrenowned zoo, natural history museum and botanical gardens all in one location.

Porsches do attract attention! As we started our morning trip, a guest at the hotel asked if he could video our parade of Porsches, therefor our departure for the day’s activities was filmed for our memories.

On Saturday afternoon we were off to Old Tucson where many classic and current western movies have been filmed.

The spirit of the ”wild west” came alive here with stunt shows, gun fights, and can-can shows. It was fun to reminisce about all the classic western TV shows and movies. We heard stories about when legendary actors like John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Kirk Douglas and Maureen O’Hara filmed there from the 1950’s to 1970’s.

On Sunday we drove to the Pima Air and Space Museum which is one of the largest aviation museums in the world with over 350 historical aircraft. A beautiful drive up the winding roads to Mount Lemmon with an elevation of 10,000 feet and beautiful rock formations completed the day.

On Monday we traveled to Tombstone, known for its wild west history, gun fights , and the Boot Hill cemetery. Some of our group ventured off to the spectacular Colossal Caves and the Saguaro National Park.

In reflecting back on this trip, one of the best parts was meeting our new Porsche club friends from San Diego, Nevada, Tucson, and Paso Robles. It makes you realize how wonderful people are and how Porsches can bridge new friendships.

In fact, we will meet many of these people again as they come to the Treffen in Santa Barbara this April.

PCASBR Supports the Search Dog Foundation Provided By Rem Laan search dogs with new owners who work for search and rescue task forces across the country. Dog and owner then learn how to work together for two weeks at the SDF before graduating. The SDF follows their graduates throughout their careers and provides on-going training and care as necessary.

SDF trained dogs and their owners have participated in search and rescue operations around the World including the World Trade Center bombing and the earthquake in Haiti. Thirteen SDF trained teams helped with the search and rescue operations after the Montecito mud slides.

Mark, Lynne, my wife Sally and I were very impressed with the SDF and are confident the Club’s donation will be put to good use.

In March 2018 the SBR Board selected the National Search Dog Foundation (SDF) in Santa Paula as our Charity of the Year. The SDF was nominated by SBR members Mark and Lynne Krueger.

Fast forward 10 months and it was my pleasure to present SDF Executive Director, George Haynes, with a check for $3,500.

The SDF was conceived by Wilma Melville after she and her search dog Murphy participated in the search for survivors and casualties after the Oklahoma City bombing. Today the SDF trains 30 to 35 dogs at any one time and training lasts 9 to 12 months. Dogs are sourced from shelters around the country. After training the SDF matches

HUGE TURNOUT FOR DRIVE TO AND LUNCH IN NIPOMO

STORY BY NICOLAS LIAKAS PHOTOS BY GARY KRUEGER & STEVE GELDMAN

What a turnout! Seventy-seven SBR members in 40 gleaming Porsches gathered on February 23 at the Porsche Santa Barbara dealership for a beautiful and moderately challenging drive to the Monarch Trilogy Country Club in Nipomo. The recent rains paused and the sky returned to is glorious blue, and the rainbow of Porsches felt at home.

Along the way, numerous photo opportunities arose, and at many sites one could see our club photographer, Steve Geldman, positioned to click the shutter capturing vivid scenes of our adventure. No one knows how he managed to precede us to his favorite locations always in advance of the main party! We know, but won’t tell!

Our route took us through Buellton, Lompoc and Los Alamos via numerous turns and hills that highlighted the green landscape that benefited from recent rains. We were lucky – the roads were open and did not present any problems for our trek through the back-country. The caravan was long enough that at many curvy locations one could see the front and rear of the procession, a view reminiscent of a train ride coming around the bend.

The Monarch C.C. staff had reserved a large section of its parking lot for our group. The mass gathering of Porsches with the clubhouse in the background was not only a perfect setting, it was also a timely destination for a rest stop after more than two hours of Porsche lifestyle driving! It was time to take a break.

There was a magnificent buffet waiting in the main catering hall at the club. Tables for eight filled the room and its picture windows let in plenty of light add to the glow of the day. It was rewarding to see many newer members mingling with the veterans and getting tips and advice for future SBR events. This is how life-long friendships begin.

Stomachs full, rest stop completed, conversations coming to an end – time to return home. A perfect day with wonderful friends came to an end. More of the same at our next adventure, the overnight trip to Bakersfield for country music and dancing!

Zone 8 Autocross SCHOOL TIME FOR AUTOCROSS NOVICES Story by: Glenn Crawford Photos by: Randy Fishwick, Steve Geldman, Gary Krueger On Saturday morning, February 16, 2019, looking over the freshly cut grass surrounding Jim Hall Racing’s immaculate road course (it’s not NASCAR, it doesn’t only turn left), it is a clear, quiet, calm and beautiful day.

By 7:30 a.m., six volunteers and 11 instructors had arrived to greet friends, drink coffee, and nibble on donuts and bagels while awaiting the 20 students who had signed up to begin to learn how to drive their cars competitively on a track.

By 8 a.m., everyone had arrived and signed waivers presented by our membership chair Sue Kinsling, and then huddled up for instructions of the day. Instructor/ student pairings were announced and introductions made. The educational format and timetable were laid out and we all went as a group for a narrated, safety related, track walk. After pointing out where to drive and not to drive (staying off the grass was a must), we returned to the pits and split the students into two groups: one scurrying into the class room with Jim Hall and the other heading out to the parking lot with their in-car

instructors. Shortly thereafter, Jeff Crute (pit Manager) safely passed them off to Gary Olmstead who flagged the student drivers on and off the track.

Every 45 minutes, the two groups alternated from classroom to track. The students were fortunate enough to be able to run an unexpectedly large number of laps, and just before lunch, I was getting warnings that if we kept this much driving up that the students would wear out or they’d run out of gas! We took a break and I surveyed what I suspected was a few of the thirstiest cars to check their fuel levels and they were just fine. No students were worn out and no vehicles ran out of gas during this event!

We stopped for a half-hour lunch to give everyone a break, and then back out we went for one more practice session for each class. During the last session we simulated an actual autocross format by timing each of the students last three individual laps. Even though everyone put in respectable times, I was asked by a couple of students to please not publish their timed results.

However, everyone learned and improved a lot.

Our volunteer instructors are absolutely fantastic! I cannot thank them (Jim, Mike, Don, Ted, Art, Ian, John, Quynh, Kathy, Bill, Warren and David) enough for their patient in-car guidance of the students. Each instructor endured 100 laps in student vehicles. Of course, most of the cars were Porsches, so how bad could it be? The students though tired, wore big smiles at the end of the day and left the track as more skilled and educated drivers.

I hope to see all of you out on a track soon.

AUTOCROSS DANCING IN THE RAIN Story by: Glenn Crawford Photos by: Steve Geldman Santa Barbara Region hosted the first multi-region Zone 8 Autocross of 2019 at Jim Hall Racing in Oxnard.

It was advertised as a rain-or-shine event, but how many times have we seen and laughed at that? Well, this time we got it all!

Starting at 8am, the drivers and volunteers proceeded through registration with Sue Kinsling, our region’s membership chair. Then, our cars were expertly teched by Henry Hinck from Schneider Autohaus under cool but beautiful blue skies! We all tried to deny what our phones weather apps were forecasting. The group Track Walk was safety oriented and went great, then practices began and that’s when it happened.

First, little drops and then it started to rain for real!

Guess what happened? It was full-on dancing in the rain!

I was so proud to see my fellow PCA members and friends frolicking on slick pavement in the rain! It was a great experience enjoyed by everyone.

The rain eventually left us before our delicious BBQ lunch arrived. After lunch, the skies stayed dry but things got a lot more serious. Participants started to push their machines.

Most runs were clean, but there were a few minor spins and a few agricultural adventures (by people who will not be named). Participants started to really pay attention to each other’s lines, techniques and of course, times.

The one draw-back of the day was our timing display board. It did not want to talk to Warren White’s timing system. People had their friends doing timing reconnaissance on their phones. Practice ended around 2 p.m. with most getting close to 30 runs before timed runs officially began.

You could hear, feel and see the difference. At the end of timed runs we posted results. What a surprise! Jim Hall in his white GT3) was unofficially the fastest time of day. Don Dickey, who had been teased driving the 2016 Cayenne GTS (instead of the Turbo S - due to a cut tire late Friday) wasn’t last but finished midfield!

We all said our goodbyes and happily drove off our own ways before sunset under blue skies and a stout Oxnard breeze.

PERFECT FOR PORSCHES scenic back roads and lunch at bj’s Saturday, July 20, 2019

A

classic Santa Barbara Region event: the 75-mile drive on some legendary bends, loops, and curls, perfect for Porsches, followed by a flavorful lunch at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse in Valencia. We’ll start in Moorpark and head to Fillmore over Grimes Canyon Road, the former path of the old stagecoach route in the Santa Susanna Mountains.

From there it will be eastward on CA-126 to San Francisquito Canyon Road, part of the original route of “El Camino Viejo,” the historic road from Stockton to Los Angeles in the late 1800s. Next comes Spunky Canyon and Green Valley (cue the “Dueling Banjos”). The final leg to Valencia is Bouquet Canyon Road, a stretch steeped in California ranching history and named from the stories of “El Buque” (Spanish for “the ship”) by a French sailor turned settler and vaquero.

Zone 8 Presidents Meeting, Concours and Annual Banquet Story by: Rem Laan Photos by: Steve Geldman and Rem Laan

The day began with a region presidents meeting that gave me a valuable opportunity to meet with the other 13 presidents in the Zone to discuss common challenges, review safety and insurance requirements, and learn about new initiatives from PCA. The highlight of the meeting was an address by Caren Cooper, immediate past President of PCA. Those of us that have had the opportunity to interface with PCA headquarters would all agree the staff does a great job of supporting the regions.

At the same time as the region presidents meeting, the first Zone 8 Concours for 2019 was held in the parking lot and chaired by Herman and Lisa Rijfkogel and co-chaired by Tara Brundrett. SBR volunteers Dick Lange and Glenn Crawford helped

place the cars. SBR entrants Ron Williams entered his 2006 Boxster in Ubergang-1, Kathryn Christopher entered her 2019 Cayman in Ubergang-2, Stephen Karolyi entered his 1965 356 C in Street-1, and Tara Brundrett entered her 1987 928 S4 in Unrestored Stock-9. SBR judges included Robert Watt with Lisa Watt being a runner/timer and Tara Brundrett managing the scoring table. SBR winners were Kathryn Christopher, Stephen Karolyi, and Tara Brundrett. Tara was also the Division winner for Unrestored Stock.

In the evening, Zone 8 held its annual banquet to recognize volunteers in the regions as well as the winners of the Zone’s annual autocross and concours competitions. The banquet Master of Ceremonies was our very own Jim Brown who was aided by his lovely wife Wendy in drawing the many door prizes.

Beside listening to Jim Kibitzing, the highlight of the evening was a talk by Lori Schutz, daughter of the “man who saved Porsche” in the

1980s. She talked about her father and stepmother and their impact on Porsche. Her stories included: How the 911 was saved, why Porsches now have mirrors on their driver side sun visors, and her crush on Derek Bell.

Lori bought her first Porsche when her dad was CEO and joined PCA at about the same time. She became very involved in club racing and now, almost 40 years later, she is a zone rep for PCA. It was a beautiful, fun filled day and it reminded of how numerous, diverse and interesting the members of PCA are. As we say “it’s not the cars, it’s the people.”

On Saturday, January 19, Zone 8 held several events at the Hyatt Regency Westlake Village. (The Santa Barbara Region is one of 14 regions in the southwestern US comprising Zone 8. Zone 8 is the second largest zone in the Porsche Club of America.)

The American Dream ComesTrue for Dr.h.c Paul Rusnak It’s all true. As a 14 year old from Soviet invasion and occupation of his homeland arrives to America, completes his education, goes on to open his first new car dealership in Culver City in 1959 – and then races up the ladder of success to international fame and glory. So it started.

Paul Rusnak, patriarch of the family that now owns 16 new car dealerships in Southern California, proves that the dream is there and doing well. There’s more, however, that more clearly defines this man.

Mr. Rusnak never forgot his European origins. As soon as he was settled in America, he began his life-long odyssey of supporting Czechoslovakia’s freedom from Russian oppression. His moral beliefs and financial abilities played a key role in the final decade of the 20th century when the dream of all patriots was realized. That freedom did not end his quest - he helped and guided the peaceful effort by Slovakians to secure their own republic, thus forming the Slovak Republic (and as a consequence, Czech Republic).

Ask anyone in Slovakia who Paul Rusnak is, and you will see instant recognition and admiration. For a time, many citizens of the republic believed that he was the country’s president. In fact, there was an incident when he was stopped for speeding, and the officer that pulled him over took one look at the driver and immediately apologized for the stop - stating “I am sorry Mr. President; I did not realize it was you.”

A man of honor, a philanthropist, a patriot.

GIMMICK RALLY Saturday, June 22, 2019

This is fun! Our drive will take us on some roads just perfect for Porsches. The rally will last somewhat over two hours of attentive driving and beautiful scenery. No racing here -- only careful powers of observation and clever thinking will put you in the winners’ circle. A bonding experience for you and your navigator. The top three teams as determined by the highest number of correct answers will be our prize winners.

You will need a driver in a Porsche, a navigator (not a Lincoln), and a clipboard with pen or pencil. Water, sunglasses, and sunscreen will come in handy, too.

Meeting time is 8:00 a.m. at Rusnak/Westlake Porsche, 3839 Auto Mall Drive, Thousand Oaks, where we’ll be offered complimentary coffee and pastries. The rally will end at Dos Vientos Center in Newbury Park. There we’ll be treated to a great barbecue lunch by Q-Time BBQ. The total cost is only $30 per person, including lunch, drinks, and SBR activity fee. These are always popular events. RSVP early by filling out the form below and submitting it with your check.

The Last Word

Woolsey Fire Survivor!

When Joan and I returned to our burned-out home along Mulholland Highway on Nov 10th, the first surprise was our Porsche sitting out in front of the burned-out garage. Someone had pushed it out; we still do not know who it was. Our 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo which was in the RV garage also survived. Otherwise, everything else was a disheartening mess.
