SDJC Concours, a Smashing Success! SDJC Dealership Display Here Comes the Judge and much much more

Presidential Perspective Once again, thanks to Dan Jensen, Concours Chairman, and Paul Novak, Chief Judge, our 49th Concours was held without a hitch. I received many compliments from members of other clubs regarding the parking, schedule, and, yes, the venue doesn’t hurt matters any. Of course when I get these compliments, I do what any good leader would do; I take full credit. Thank all of you volunteers who step up to the plate and help make our event the most popular in the Southwest Region. Not braggin’, just fact. Please see the article beginning on page 8.

ON THE COVER

Jim Hallameyer has volunteered to be our Dealership Representative. He acts as a liaison between our Club and Jaguar San Diego which has been a staunch supporter of us since they set up shop. One of Jim’s tasks is to provide a vintage Jag from the Club each month to be on display in the dealership showroom. He has taken that responsibility up a notch by providing transportation home when you drop your car off, and taking you to the dealership when it comes time to pick your Jag up again. He hand made high quality protective stanchions to provide a barrier, a savings of hundreds of dollars for the Club. We are very grateful to Jim for volunteering for this important position. Please see the article on page 24. We lost a dear friend and loyal member of our Club in July. Rex Ryan passed away after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. His shoes will be impossible to fill and he will be deeply missed. You’ll find a beautifully written Rearview Mirror on page 16. It was written by a friend of his from the Secret Car Club. I am looking forward to the Concours Afterglow dinner. It’s always a fun event and the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club is one of my favorite venues for the event. I will try to put together a glorious PowerPoint presentation recapping the event. Remember, it doesn’t matter whether you attended the Concours or not, the event is for all Club members. I look forward to seeing all of you there. Tata!

The Jensen’s 2007 XK S H O W C A S E

M E M B E R

Here we go again! The Jensens have raised the bar. Dan writes, “Jorgene and I have been looking at XKs for a number of months to expand our “pride” of Jaguars. We looked at cars in several different colors, but have always thought Jaguar Racing Green (JRG) looked exceptional, as we have seen on several fellow SDJC-member XKs and XK8/Rs. While recently trolling the Internet, I came across an ’07 XK in JRG with Luxury Sport interior. As near as we could tell from the photos, the car looked terrific. What made this car a bit unique for me was that it was for sale near Portland, OR, about 5 miles from where I spent several summers during college working in my dad’s automotive front-end alignment shop. Since my brother still lives in Portland and is a car guy, I asked him to swing by and give it a test drive. He confirmed that the car was as cosmetically near flawless as it looked in the dealer photos. A check of the Carfax maintenance records showed that it had been serviced by the local Jaguar dealer for all of its 50K miles. Based on this input, we purchased the car and had it transported to San Diego by Jaguar Tracks advertiser, Nationwide Transport (highly recommended). The car arrived in an enclosed van three days later and, as hoped, looked as good as expected. Now that the car has been given a closer inspection, thanks to Coventry Motors, another Jaguar Tracks advertiser, and we have driven it, we are very happy with the purchase. Perhaps it will be sitting beside other SDJC JRG XKs at an upcoming concours. In reviewing the Jaguar owner manuals in the glove box, I came across the name and address of the original owner (we are the third owner). In another unique twist of fate, he lived in the same building that my mother lived in for many years, about three floors above her. I wonder if she ever met him in the elevator or saw his car in the parking garage. Mom passed away a couple of years ago, but I know she would have gotten a real chuckle about the coincidence!“

San Diego Jaguar Club 49th Annual CONCOURS d’ELEGANCE at Spanish Landing Park

article by Stick Holmes

T

he San Diego Jaguar Club held another highly successful Concours July 14th at Spanish Landing Park. We had an excellent turnout with 27 Champion, 14 Driven, and 23 Jags on display. Participants came from as far away as San Francisco and Arizona. To make it even more fun, entries dated from 1948 to 2014! As you will see in the photos, there were many rare Jaguars entered this year, far more than usual. Concours Chairman Dan Jensen and his staff began preparations for the event almost a year ago. All that planning paid off in spades. It was a fantastic show. Enjoy the photos.

Other sponsors included Jaguar USA, a major contributor; Classic Showcase; XKs Unlimited; Welsh Enterprises; and Meguiar’s. The support of our sponsors was extremely important for the success of our event. Thank you sponsors!

Chief Judge Paul Novak and his team of judges and scorers juggled 41 cars. Judges from four different clubs helped us as well. We can’t thank them enough for helping out. We’d also like to thank all the volunteers who manned the booths, helped set up and break down, and assisted entrants in parking their cars in their assigned location. Successful events like these could not be accomplished without your support. Thank you all for volunteering!

By Paul Novak, Chief Judge, San Diego Jaguar Club This article provides information about the Jaguar Clubs of North America (JCNA) Concours d’Elegance to help you understand more about this interesting aspect of Jaguar ownership. If you are a seasoned concours Entrant, I hope this will help you enjoy it more. If you have never participated, I hope this will encourage you to join in the fun.

2013 SDJC Concours d’Elegance Quick Look Report Our 49th Annual SDJC Concours was held on 14 July at Spanish Landing Park. It was a beautiful day, a spectacular venue, and there were a total of 64 beautiful Jaguars present. Here is a Quick Look Report about the concours and some of the facts about it. Entrants: There were 38 Entrants. Most Entrants brought one Entry, four Entrants brought two Entries and one really dedicated Entrant brought three Entries to be judged. Judges: There were 22 Judges from five clubs involved in the judging, including 13 Judges from the SDJC, 6 Judges from the Jaguar Owners Club of Los Angeles, and one Judge each from the Inland Empire Jaguar Club, the Jaguar Club of Southern Arizona and the Jaguar Associates Group of San Francisco. Eleven of the Judges were also Entrants and they brought a total 15 Entries to be judged (Judges are prohibited from judging their own Entries as well as any other Entries in the same class). Due to the large number of Entries, it would have been impossible for us to complete this year’s concours on schedule without the help of Judges from the other clubs. We also had two Apprentice Judges in training participate in this year’s judging as a necessary step towards their Judge Certification. Entries: We had a total of 42 Entries registered in 28 different judging classes, but only 41 Entries were judged. One Entry was unable to make it to its assigned judging spot under its own power and was thus disqualified. This was an unfortunate situation for the Entrant, Judges and spectators. The applicable section out of the Rule Book reads: “The Chief Judge or his designees must confirm that all Entries are driven, under their own power, to their assigned parking positions in the judging area – the objective is to simply prove/observe that the Entry runs and is drivable, i.e., entries shall not be trailered directly to their assigned parking positions and off-loaded. Entries not meeting this rule are ineligible for the day’s Concours Competition and shall not be judged.” Score Sheets: I have a total of 150 pages of score sheets to review, four for each Champion Division Entry and three for each Driven Division Entry. Per the JCNA Concours Rule Book, Chapter III “The Chief Judge MUST send the ORIGINAL score sheets to the Entrants, as soon as practical but not later than 21 calendar days following the Concours.” During the next two weeks I will review all the score sheets at least twice for accuracy and compliance with the 2013 JCNA Concours Rule Book, contact Judges regarding any questions I may have regarding their score sheet entries, contact Entrants if necessary, and then submit both the Entrant/Entry/Score information and the detailed Judges Report to JCNA for posting on their website. So for all those who are anxious to get your score sheets back, especially those who already contacted me the day after the concours requesting their score sheets, please be patient. The concours may be over for you, but the Chief Judge’s work continues until everything is complete and correct. You deserve nothing less for your efforts. For all the Entrants reading this, you should already have received your original Score Sheets in the mail. Protests: Those Entrants who question the manner in which their Entry was judged and/or the deductions made during the judging, you can file a formal protest. Per Chapter IV of the Concours Rule Book, “An Entrant’s protest must be filed with the JCNA Protest Committee Chair within 30 days of receipt of the score sheets or the protest will not be considered.” If you have any questions about this article or JCNA Concours d’Elegance participation, please contact me by email at P.M.Novak7@ gmail.com.

ELECTRICAL THEORY BY JOSEPH LUCAS Lifted from the forum page of Sideways Technologies

P

ositive ground depends on proper circuit functioning, which is the transmission of negative ions by retention of the visible spectral manifestation known as “smoke”. Smoke is the thing that makes electrical circuits work. We know this to be true because every time one lets the smoke out of an electrical circuit, it stops working. This can be verified repeatedly through empirical testing.

For example, if one places a copper bar across the terminals of a battery, prodigious quantities of smoke are liberated and the battery shortly ceases to function. In addition, if one observes smoke escaping from an electrical component such as a Lucas voltage regulator, it will also be observed that the component no longer functions. The logic is elementary and inescapable! The function of the wiring harness is to conduct the smoke from one device to another. When the wiring springs a leak and lets all the smoke out of the system, nothing works afterward. Starter motors were considered unsuitable for British motorcycles for some time largely because they consumed large quantities of smoke, requiring very unsightly large wires. It has been reported that Lucas electrical components are possibly more prone to electrical leakage than their Bosch, Japanese or American counterparts. Experts point out that this is because Lucas is British, and all things British leak. British engines leak oil, British shock absorbers, hydraulic forks and disk brake systems leak fluid, British tires leak air and British Intelligence leaks national defense secrets. Therefore, it follows that British electrical systems must leak smoke. Once again, the logic is clear and inescapable. In conclusion, the basic concept of transmission of electrical energy in the form of smoke provides a logical explanation of the mysteries of electrical components especially British units manufactured by Joseph Lucas, Ltd.

And remember: “A gentleman does not motor about after dark.”

IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR by Randy Lockert

Rex Ryan Born 4-18-1935 Passing 7-1-2013 It is impossible to capture all that Rex Ryan was in this lifetime. Here is a short tribute to a phenomenal individual. We will honor and salute the man that we all knew and loved. Rex was born at Hollywood Hospital in Los Angeles to Fred and Thelma Ryan. Fred was a school teacher and Principal here at various schools in San Diego. Thelma was a homemaker. He was raised in La Jolla, matriculating from La Jolla High School and attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, earning a degree in Architecture. Rex served in the United States Army and was stationed in Germany. There he acquired his first Porsche. He drove it around Europe during his stay there and brought it back to the US on his return. (He recently brought the Porsche to the Secret Car Club after he had it restored for us to admire a couple of years ago). He worked for several large firms in San Diego, assisting in the design of some prominent structures, notably one Star Dust Hotel here in Mission Valley (when there was very little there). Becoming disgruntled with the architectural field, he made a career change. Rex started selling automobiles here in San Diego. He proved his worth as he was an excellent salesman, making a name for himself and rising to sales manager position for the dealerships that he worked for. In 1967, with his good friend Dick Kramer, Rex was instrumental in the start up of Ivac. They produced the first digital thermometer that was used in the local hospitals and later went nationwide with sales. Various business and sales positions came his way and he finally settled at Ridgewood Capital in the early eighties, rising to the Sales Manager for the Western United States. He met his wife, Julie, when he lived in Laguna Beach. They moved to Bankers Hill in San Diego in 2004. Rex semi retired from Ridgewood three years ago, but was still involved with the firm. He was planning to return as he relished selling and working. From his past positions as President of the San Diego Jaguar Club, and membership in the MG Club and the Secret Car Club, there were few that had the encyclopedic memory of the Jaguar and many, many other marques that Rex possessed. Ask him a question and he, on most occasions, had the answer. Rex was involved in many facets of the car hobby and had a very nice collection of beautiful cars. We were hosted by him at the Park Avenue garage and had the opportunity to hear him recant the particulars of the automobiles in his collection. We really appreciated the opportunity to view his cars and see him in his element, that of a story teller weaving the intricacies of each car and how and when he acquired it. For those of us who attended the La Jolla Motor Car Classics, the British Car Days at Liberty Station, and various meets and rallies, his was the smiling, familiar face that made the day more enjoyable by his presence. Rex is survived by his wife, Julie, his three children, Jeff, Meleen and Jenifer, and his gradchildren, Nick, Daniel, Matthew, Nathan and Shauna. To any and all that knew Rex, a large hole has been left in our hearts. We loved and will miss him greatly. Rest in peace dear friend.

Spanish Landing Park was in excellent condition, the weather couldn’t have been more perfect, and the field was filled with beautiful Jags.

San Diego Jaguar Club Display at Jaguar San Diego

The San Diego Jaguar Club has a member who acts as Dealer Representative from our club to Jaguar San Diego. Jim Hallameyer has recently assumed those duties. Our relationship with Jaguar San Diego is strong and built on a common love of the Jaguar automobile. They are real ‘car guys’ who have proven to be a valuable sponsor to our club. We reciprocate in this relationship with loyalty to the Jaguar brand and by providing an ongoing display of our classic Jaguars on the showroom floor of their beautiful new dealership. The display is changed monthly and gives our members an opportunity to showcase their cars and promote our club. Recent cars on display have included Rex Ryan’s Mark II, Stick Holmes’ Mark IX and Dick Cavicke’s XK 120 SE. August will see Wright Benson’s E-Type 2+2 coupe. Members who have show quality Jaguars are encouraged to participate in this endeavor. Show quality doesn’t mean only championship class cars, but also driven and display cars which will present well on the showroom floor at Jaguar San Diego. Our goal is to convey a sense of pride and history of the Jaguar automobile and promote our club. As you can see in the photo accompanying this article, in addition to the featured car, we have a display case with trophies and memorabilia, a stand to provide visitors with details about the vehicle currently displayed, some literature on how to join our club and a simple set of stanchions cordoning off the vehicle to let viewers know they should look with their eyes only. Please consider participating in our dealer display effort by volunteering your Jaguar. By doing so, you will help ensure an ongoing relationship with our dealer sponsor, Jaguar San Diego, and assist in the promotion of our San Diego Jaguar Club. Jim will be happy to assist you with all of the logistics for set up including transportation. He can be contacted via email at [email protected] or by telephone at 619-440-7893.
