Greetings,PresidentsWordsBob HeckelThe Newsletter saga has taken another turnsince Norman’s resignation as stated in the JulyNewsletter. Upon further consideration and withassistance from the Bunn’s and Scott Jenkins,Norman thinks he can handle it. I won’t bore you withthe details and responsibility assignments becauseI’m not sure I fully understand them myself! Howeverbetween Norman, Ray, Sherry and Scott there ismore than enough talent to put out a quality product.Interestingly enough, between Norman’sresignation and his “reconsideration”, we werescrambling to find an editor and guess what, we hadthree, very well qualified volunteers. Thank you foryour <strong>of</strong>fers and thanks to Ray, Sherry and Scott forpitching in and working with Norman.Last week we had a Board Meeting at Shelleyand Cliff and Patty’s in South Cle Elum. Personally,I think it is one <strong>of</strong> the highlights <strong>of</strong> the year. We hada great drive over, toured downtown Easton, andarrived in Cle Elum in time to stock up on the World’sBest Maple Bars, visit the antique mall and got to theMeeting on time. The turnout for the Meeting wasgreat, not only amongst Board Members but nonBoard Members---probably the best <strong>of</strong> the year! Mustbe some magic in that potato salad!The July Meeting at XXX with Cascade wasanother success! The weather in various parts <strong>of</strong> theGreater Seattle Area wasn’t good but it was very nicein Issaquah. Thanks to Jose Enciso, the owner <strong>of</strong>XXX, for donating the raffle items as he does everyyear. Next time you are at XXX introduce yourself toJose, if you don’t already know him, and thank himfor his hospitality.One <strong>of</strong> the nicest parts <strong>of</strong> this event is that it runsitself. People come, sit down with friends, order3food, eat, walk around, visit, look at cars and enjoythemselves. No organization, no programs just enjoyyourself and have fun!Some <strong>of</strong> the highlights for me were: watchingTom McCutchen and Dick Jauch eat those foot longPhiladelphia Cheese Steak sandwiches, having LDtell me his garage is almost complete and I’ll finallyget to ride in his Austin Healey-- while I can still getin it-- meeting Bill Wells, a long time PSRG memberwho just retired and wants to get active-- look for himat McBrides--,looking at the cars, Dick and CyndiWilliams little 1939 Deluxe is one <strong>of</strong> my favorites,and it was impossible to ignore that bright red 12cylinder Ferrari Testa Rossa and the very friendlyowner, who shared with us that burning premium gasat 12—14 miles per gallon makes for an expensiveride. I’m sure you had your favorites too and hopeyou enjoyed yourself!As one looks ahead at the events in the nextmonth or so it is really exciting! Here’s what mycalendar shows: July 25 th Board Meeting at Bev andElmo’s, July 28th All British Car Show at BellevueCollege, <strong>August</strong> 7th McBrides and <strong>August</strong> 11 th PSRGSummer Picnic at Butch Kent’s—if you haven’t madeyour RESERVATIONS for The Picnic contact TomMcCutchen NOW!

General MeetingMinutesKen StobbeInformal Meeting at the XXX Drive In. No real meeting,no minutes.SunshineDick JauchOn the evening <strong>of</strong> the All Makes Picnic, WhichRex Walker enjoyed and commented to me that heliked Ken Dearden’s Lincoln a lot; Rex got a strangefeeling in his chest so his wife, Lee, called 911.Sure enough, after getting to Overlake Hospital hehad a real heart attack and needed some strongstuff to get it kicking again. Later they did the stintoperation, and by Friday Rex was back home,slowed down a bit he says, but still with us. This"Old Cowboy" is in his 80s but you can't tell it byhis attitude and desire to get his 36 Roadster putback together and on the street. It is a really nicecar that, when he bought it, needed some upgradesand a new engine. Best wishes to a completeand quick recovery Rex from me and all the clubmembers.Let’s all say a prayer for Rex and for allthose in need a prayer.Dick Jauch<strong>August</strong> MeetingAUGUST 7th MEETINGWill be held at McBride’s, which is located at 4441 26thAvenue West in Seattle, near Fisherman’s Terminal.

2012 Tour <strong>of</strong>the Year2012 PSRG Tour <strong>of</strong> the YearWith the week-long National <strong>Early</strong> <strong>Ford</strong> Meetcoming up in Redmond Oregon this year plusmany other club activities on the horizon, wehave decided to change gears a bit for ourannual Tour <strong>of</strong> the Year.It will be a "one-day affair" featuring a visitto the new LeMay: America’s Car Museum,recently opened in Tacoma. This is your specialopportunity to view the museum collection withyour fellow PSRG members at a very special rate.Following our museum visit we will join togetherfor a fabulous dinner in the VIP Room at thePacific Rim Buffet, located inside nearby EmeraldQueen Casino, Fife.As customary, PSRG will subsidize part <strong>of</strong> thisevent - which includes admission to the museum,buffet dinner and gratuity at the Pacific Rimrestaurant, plus an opportunity to win someAmerica’s Car Museum raffle prizes. We arecurrently exploring weekend dates in Octoberthat will work for the tour, without conflictingwith other car events or major football games.Watch your upcoming newsletters for furtherdetails on the tour with date, meeting time,place, etc., as well as a reservation form.Guy GenerauxChairman, Tour <strong>of</strong> the YearCome see Beauties like this 1913 REOEngine SeminarBruce Anderson - Gary DuffGary Duff and I have talked <strong>of</strong> a Seminar atwhich Gary would demonstrate the process forreplacing the rear main seal; without removingthe crankshaft. The demonstration wouldrequire a 1946 to 1948 V-8 engine (59A) whichis in need <strong>of</strong> a rear seal but that is otherwise ingood condition.The engine must be removed from the carand the oil drained. The pan must be removedwith the engine upright to drain as much oil aspossible from the crankshaft cavity and pan.After draining and cleaning, the pan would beput back on for transportation to the Seminarsite.Gary would then mount the engine a standand turn it crankshaft up for the show andtell. The main issue is that we need a suitableengine. If you have one or know <strong>of</strong> an enginewhich would benefit from this service, please leteither Gary or myself know and we can makearrangements and schedule a date for theSeminar. The Seminar would certainly benefitone <strong>Club</strong> member and should provide usefulinformation to others.VERY IMPORTANT: WE HAVE NOT HEARDFROM ANYONE ABOUT A 59A ENGINETO USE IN THE DEMONSTRATION. THISIS A MUST IF WE ARE TO HOLD THEDEMONSTRATIONBruce Anderson7

Concours d’Eleganceat The WoodJune 23, 2012The setting, just <strong>of</strong>f the 18 th fairway <strong>of</strong> The LynnwoodGolf Course was great!There were big trees,nicely manicuredgrass, a pond andthe golf course in thebackground .Goodparking was close byand for those <strong>of</strong> livingin the Edmonds Area itsright in our back yard.And, the best part, theevent was sponsored bythe Alderwood-TerraceRotary <strong>Club</strong> and allfunds raised went tocharities.This is the 5 th AnnualShow and accordingto the chairman, KimPierce, the mostimpressive line-up <strong>of</strong>cars they’ve ever had.In addition to the cars;there was a fashionshow, wine tasting and alive auction.The cars weredivided into fourclassifications; first “TheClassic Cars” 16 allCCCA Classic Cars, TheSports Cars 14 Porsche356’s, The Muscle Cars15 various Americancars and finally TheHistoric Race Cars 19various entries. Theshow ran from 1:00 PMto 5:00 PM. I arrived at 2:00, it had just stopped rainingand the owners <strong>of</strong> these beautiful automobiles were outwiping them dry.9Up to this point my car show experience had beenlimited to the Greenwood, Snohomish and Edmondstype shows. This was something different! I had neverseen these CCCA Classic Cars up close. Cars like a 28Bugatti Type 44 Roadster, 35 Bugatti Type 57, 38 BMW327/28, it won the People’s Choice Award, three PierceArrows, two Rolls Royces,38 Mercedes 540K, aBentley, a Cadillac, anAuburn and 5 Packard’s allbeautiful automobiles.My next favorite classwas The Historic RaceCars. The timing was goodas the Historic Racessponsored by SOVERNwere the followingweekend and SOVERNhad an information boothat the Show. If you made itto the races the followingweekend, you would haveseen many <strong>of</strong> these carsracing. Most <strong>of</strong> the ownershad the hoods up, wereready to answer questionsand a few fired up theirengines!My experience with356 Porsche’s, is thatunless one is really intothem it is hard to tell thereally nice ones fromthe standouts. They alllooked extremely nice tome and Sharon and I hadone which we enteredin a Porsche Parade.Likewise the Muscle Carswere all very nice. Theone that stood out was a1964 <strong>Ford</strong> Fairlane 500Thunderbolt.While the weathersomewhat dampenedthis year’s show, hopefully, there will be one next year.If there is put it on your calendar!Bob Heckel
