ALFXANDRIA AVE. SCHOOL 8:00 p.m. on Monday 4211 0akwood Ave. October I0, 1966 Los Angeles (5 blks W of Vermont, I blk N of Beverly)

For the entertainment after the business portion of the meeting the movie "Porsche Strasse 42" will be rerun. It is most interesting in that it shows the new 900 series Porsches being made by hand. All the 911 and 912 owners would be most interested in the movie.

MINUTFS OF .THE

SEPTEMBER }~FMBERSHIP MVFT!NG

The following will be the minutes gathered at the September general meeting of the Porsche Club of America. The meeting was held on the second Monday of the month. This month it fell on 9-12-66. Club members were in attendance in record numbers. In the absence of the club president, John Bevan, Norm Sandusky (Vice-President) presided.

Other than the president a full Board membership was in attendance.

The meeting proceeded along these lines: 1. In direct contrast to tradition the order of business was reversed.

To accomodate our speaker for the evening he was allowed to go on before the business portionof the meeting. Meeting was called to order at 8:10 p.m. Norm introduced the speaker who was an Officer Jerry Cokley of the L.A. Police Department, Traffic Information Division, and he presented a talk on ~’defensive driving." He followed this with a 30 minute film on what he called, "the positive side of bringing across what happens, in traffic accidents." The fi~m was quite realistic, indeed. It was followed with a sh0rt-question and answer period. The meeting was then adjourned for coffeeib’reak at 9:20.

2. Coffee and donuts were served by Shirley Kornfeld and Charlotte S emans.

3. Following the break the minutes of the August meeting were approved as they appeared in the September issue of PORSCHFRAMA. 4. Harold Semans gave the financial status of the club. As of last ~night we had a balance of ~i13.00 in the bank. However, Harold pointed out that currently the financial balance is in.the state of flux but the true up-to-the-minute balance was around the announced figure. Harold anhounced for the benefit of newe~ members that he is the man to see regarding name badges at ~I.00 each~ They normally take about 3-4 weeks to arrive after a workable order is submitted.

8. Secretary was asked for remarks but he was caught dottln~ his "i’s" and with nothing to say.

6. Club Advisor, Nick Friesen was called upon for any comment and he had none to offer.

7. Acting as Vice-President, No~ Sandusky advises that during the past month he received only four new "Profiles." This totaled to 80 at the moment. Norm feels that it would be worthless to compile the few he has in. He feels that 20 more would be needed to arrive at a meaningful compilation. He explained that future club activities will depend heavily on the compilationo The Board wants to run the Region in a manner best suited to the needs and wants of its membership, so get you filled resumes in, please 8. Activities Chairman, Miles Jackson was given the floor at this point and in spite of a foot encased in a cast he really took hold. He announced that the August event "Carrera 6" drew 21 cars. Gary Kious presented trophies to the winners. Gary and Kay were thanked for putting on such an interesting event.

September event, the Drlver~s School, drew really top flight instructors present. The course was perfect for the school. A faster course was set up in the afternoon after all had gotten preliminary instruction. It was a general feeling that everyone benefited greatly. A show of hands was asked for-over the question if membership would be interested in another school as an added event in a couple of months. Possibility is good at this moment that the additional school w~ll be conducted. John McNeil was thanked for putting on such an excellent event. Miles then brought attention to his "Tour For Miles" section of the PORSCHFRA~A. He went on ~O remind the members of the coming Porsche ~Veekend in Sacramento on October 1 and 2. A total of $55 will cover your financlal burden for this one.

Lyle Arnold then presented a progress report on his efforts towards putting together a Caravan to travel to the Races in ~aguna ~eea next month. Lyle stated that the distance la about 520 miles. Caravan will start at 6:50 a.m. on I0-I~-~6. Place will be the Fred Harvey Diner at the Saugus Turnoff on U.S. Route ~. He has a block of rooms set aside for PCA-LA people. He suggested you directly contact the motel with a deposit if you desire a room. Contact ~rs. Harris, Carmel Valley Inn, P.O. Box 118, Carmel Valley, Calif. The usual champagne party will be held at $2.80 per person. Place will be the Hunt Club in ~onterey. No advance reservations for this affair will be needed. Lyle will offer full details in the next PORSCHERA~A. The ~LUCKY 7" will be held in October with Don ~orrls as the Rally Master.

You can be assured that it will be a top quality event. ~iles went on to state that participation of club members at this year~s calendar of events is on the up-swing. He hopes this trend will continue.

George Gedeon then presented a run-down of what can be expected for your money (~.00 per couple) at the November event in Las Vegas. Seems like quite a bundle (money and worth). ~eorge promised much more detailed information later on this event. Closing date for reservations will be October i@, -~.

9. Curt Kuebler, Activities Chairman stated that they are making excellent progress on the work towards putting together a modern edition of the "UP-FIXIN DFR PORSCHE." Announced that the next Tech Session will be at the usual place and time. The place is 11650 Santa Monica Blvd., West L.A. The time is the fourth Wednesday of each month and at 8:00 in the evening. Curt asked for a show of hands of those interested in seeing a motor assembled. This we may see soon.

10. Editor, John McNeil, announced that as usual he could use copy for the PORSCHERAMA. Let’s get the news in. ll. 01d business was called for and there was none. A faint effort was made to introduce the "Blazer Situation" once more it didn’t get too far.

12.

New business was asked for.

None was offered from the floor.

13. Nick Friesen introduced a long list of guests (~2 of them). This followed with an announcement that we had acquired ten new members during the past couple of days. Keep your eye on this situation.

14. Meeting was adjourned at 10:30 p.m. (This meeting was held at the Alexandria Avenue School, 4~iI 0akwood Lane, Los Angeles).

15.

Next Board meeting will be on I0-3-66~ at John Bevan’s home.

Pete Galena - Secretary FROM THE EDITORS: Sorry for the delay of this month’s paper, but our new Assistant Editor, Paul Gregory, arrived Wednesday at 7:45 p.m. and yelled, "Stop the Presses ~:" Would you believe? H_~e only weighed 7 lb. I oz. and was 19 inches long : John & Viv McNeil

’ 67 CANDIDATES How about it? ~q~en you answer your telephone and that voice asks that you submit your name as a candidate for office in ~67 ... how about it?

There is lots to be done and much fun ahead in helping to make PCA-LA reach its goal - "The best and biggest" of all the 60 regions.

TECH COMMITTF_E REPORT Next Tech Committee meeting is set for October 28th at the regular place, 11650 Santa Monica Blvd., West L.A. (8.-00 p.m.)

Progress on publication of UP-FIXIN, Vol. 2 is quite good - thanks to the efforts of Bud Snyder. Better than 25% of the PANORAMA articles have been sorted and taped to "drop-out-blue" sheets in preparation for make page negatives. Copies of PORSCH~ PANORAMA for Aug. ’61, Sep. ’61, Nov. ’61, June ’62 and June ’63 are still needed. A rew~rd for information leading to the procurement of these issues may be obtained by calling Curt Kuebler at 398-2~17.

Porscheneers with loose coupe seats might be interested in Bill Arnett’s (Golden Gate Region) analysis of the problem: (to be continued) --3--

"Several known-.failure cases of the Porsche sest~ back attachment have formed the basis for this dlscus~ion. The hinged supports forthe back rest each have three counter-sunk holes for 6~ oval headscrews attaching to captive nuts on the inside of the metal frame of the back rest. These screws loosen up perlodlcall~ from the forces applied by the driver and passenger ~in normal use... The me,hod used

by Reut.ter .in attaching these oaptlve nuts consists.of two spot welds. The difference in thickness between the nut and the frame material is so large that, more often than not,.a ."burn". weld occurs.

Thi~ is not .significant until the owner takes his socket mounted phillips head driver andapplies excessive torque to the screws in an effort to take the reck and roll out of the back. rest, hopefully for all time. Very often, this will break the nut .loose, sometimes losing it inside the back rest upholstery. Before this catastrophe occurs, it is well to remdee..the screw and squeeze a small quantity of LOCTITE or other metal-adhering glue in the hole of.the nut before re-installing the screw. A limit, of about i0 lb.-ft, of torque should be applied in tightening these screws. Thlsmay not hold-.forever, but it will enable trouble-free use .for longer-periods of time (especially if you are in the 20~# class). From year to year, it has been anticipated.l that Porsche/Reutter.would remedy th~s weakness by the addition of Welded projections to carry the shear stresses, leaving the,screw the. simple role of a tension device. Let us prayS"
