Trevor Gates project
Well, the WCSTA contest is coming to a head here. I have a few thoughts about it, if I may be indulged. Many worthwhile projects have surfaced in this contest. Who to vote for? The term "deserving" and "worthy" have been used. The current leader has multiple vintage Porsches in his stable. That candidates car is a Speedster. It appears to be mostly complete, but has suffered greatly from the "tin worm". Restoration of this car will most likely happen at some time in the future, resulting in a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, out of reach for all but serious collectors. It will never be chopped up for parts. Very fortunate that he purchased it years ago, when these cars had little value. On the other hand, Trevor's car, completely stripped of all but the basic body parts, could have been lost forever but for his dream to own just one 356. His project has advanced in just a few short years, eclipsing others that have had little or no progress for quite a long time. Folks talk about bringing in the younger generation to the 356 passion. If you want passion, Trevor is your guy. Even with kids in grade school, he has run for a Registry position, volunteers at nearly every 356 event in SoCal, and is currently serving in our local club as a board member. In addition this, he tirelessly comes down to my shop each Friday, hanging on the words of wisdom, lore, and history, from the likes of Craig Richter, Kerry, Tony Smetona, Dirk Layer, and other notable persons of the 356 world.
Please give your vote to to Trevor for WCSTA. It would be a shame to lose it to someone that already has so much. _________________ Jack Staggs

Just a little more than 24 hrs to go! A very close contest, separated by only a few votes. Its not only about the cars. The 356 community is about people. Put yourselves in each candidites shoes, and vote accordingly. Speak now, or forever hold your peace. _________________ Jack Staggs

The clock is winding down. I just checked and Trevor has a razor thin lead of 2 votes, so every vote counts. |

Congratulations, Trevor! It looks like you did it. I can't wait to see the car at Jack's open house in December. Well, maybe a bit of an ambitious timetable... |
