PRESIDENT’S CORNER Hello All: reffen has come and gone. Rook Younger and his team of volunteers worked very hard and their efforts paid off as the Treffen event from May 5th to 8th was a great success. There were approximately 140 cars and their occupants that attended the events, along with about 70 volunteers. The attendees were from all over the country and two cars, a husband and wife team, brought their his and hers GT2 RSs from Germany. The event was based at Scottsdale’s iconic Camelback Inn. Photos for the event will eventually be posted on PCA National’s website (https:// treffen.pca.org/index.cfm?event=photos.gallery) but as of this writing, the Gallery has not yet posted there. Our own local club website does have some of the photos posted already (https:// azpcaphotos.smugmug.com/Treffen-Scottsdale-2021/) if you would like to view photos of the cars and the event. The continuing concern for COVID 19 affects our club events going forward. Our club takes into account the Federal, State and local municipality rules along with each specific venue’s requirements when we schedule events. Please check with each specific event organizer for the rules and procedures that we must follow as each event occurs. The Arizona Region is running the following upcoming events:

MEET A MEMBER
T
he AZPCA is made up of a wonderful group of members. As Going Places Editor, I would like to introduce featured members, Rusty and Wendy Bascom.
8. Have you personalized your car?
1. When did you join PCA?
9. Favorite memory with a car?
I joined March 2, 2021, although had previously participated in some PCA events with the Roadrunner Chapter of the BMW car club.
2. What Porsche(s) do you have?
I have a 2017 Carrera C4S coupe, 2020 Macan S, and 2021 718 Spyder.
3. Where are you from?
Albany, New York , where we still split our time with Mesa, Arizona.
4. Family?
We have two daughters, including a recent graduate from ASU who will continue her studies in architecture at Yale University starting Fall 2021, and an informatics major at University of Washington in Seattle, Washington.
5. Work background or trade?
I am an engineering consultant serving the electric power industry and Wendy is a physical therapist.
6. What makes your car special?
The 718 Spyder is the most limited in production of the Porsche models we have, but obviously we think the brand is special.
7. Next upgrade?
Who knows? We may have bought our last gasolinepowered sports car. The electrics are coming . . .
| 8 |
No real personalization except Akrapovič link pipes on the 718 Spyder to eliminate the particulate filters.
For the C4S, just driving it home. For the Macan S, keeping it clean to surprise the misses. For the 718 Spyder, the cross-country trip and twisty roads encountered along the way. As a recent Porsche-related story, I purchased a 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder which I drove from Albany, NY to Arizona on my own version of the Cannonball Baker Seato-Shining-Sea road “race” including a quick photo-op at the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan, where the original race by Brock Yates started in the 1970s and with stops along the Tail of the Dragon and following segments of Route 66. I drove straight to Flagstaff, but then detoured to our house in Mesa. I plan to complete the remaining segment to the Portofino Inn in Redondo Beach, CA in the next couple of weeks. Attached is a link to a YouTube video from driving on Tail of the Dragon (https://youtu. be/3szr7UkNEyw).
10. Why did you buy your Porsche?
The 718 Spyder seemed like one of the last chances to get a naturally aspirated engine with a manual transmission.
11 High school nickname? I don’t recall.
12. Top 3 cars you would own?
(1) Carrera GT any year with a manual, (2) Carrera 991.2 GT3 Touring, (3) another 982 series 718 Spyder.

e have finally received some great news regarding Covid mask guidelines! As of May 13, the new guidelines suggest fully vaccinated people can stop wearing masks and social distancing in most indoor places and outdoors, even when there are crowds. A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after getting the second Pfizer or Moderna shot or two weeks after the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Cool Beans…but masks are still required in certain indoor settings, in some businesses and cities can require them inside city facilities. This gives us the green light to plan some in person social events, such as monthly member meetings. The May meeting was awesome at Chaparral Park with over 60 members attending. Kudos to Jim and Carole Bultema. They have planned our June 9th member meeting at Aunt Chilada’s restaurant. Don’t forget to sign up! Check out some of the great articles in this month’s issue; Autocross Event #8, Treffen Scottsdale Driving Tours, Meet A Member, and Race News-Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. This month the winner for the Writer’s Monthly Award for Going Places is Ken Mitchell for contributing “Autocross Event #8.” He will receive a $30. credit on MotorsportReg, which is good for one year to use on any AZPCA activity. I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to write articles and take pictures at our AZPCA events for Going Places, because without your stories and articles it would be pretty difficult to publish our monthly newsletter. Looking forward to seeing you, in person, at our June Monthly Membership meeting!

fter 14 long months it finally happened—our first in-person membership meeting after fighting COVID for what seemed like an eternity. The 60+ Porsche enthusiasts, including a large contingent of new members, couldn’t have been happier. Smiles that you could actually see, hugs, and joyful conversation echoed around the Ramada as members were able to catch up after a long year. The meeting was held in beautiful Chaparral Park and was catered by Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que. The food was delicious. President Mark Baker presented the program and Rook Younger gave a recap of the history making Treffen event that was such a huge success. The PCA was delighted with the job Rook did along with his 70 volunteers, calling it one of the best ever. If you missed out on this meeting, try catching us at our next get together on June 9th inside Aunt Chilada’s restaurant, where the fun and laughter will be contagious—a good thing and you will be glad you caught it! Sign up HERE for the June 9th Monthly Member Meeting.

Autocross Event #8
by Ken Mitchell photos by Jennifer Harrenstein
A
utocross Event #8 was held on Saturday, April 24, 2021, at Arizona Motorsports Park (AMP) in Litchfield Park. This event was the last event of a series of 8 events for the 2020/2021 autocross season. The next event will not be until after the summer break. The 2021/2022 series will commence on Saturday, September 25, 2021. The weather was perfect, not too hot not too cold, and as usual, the event was sold out. Thirty- eight drivers had a great time socializing and comparing their lap times for bragging rights. Most of the drivers were improving their times on each consecutive lap. Some drivers improved their morning times in the afternoon session, and some were not as lucky. Rumors had it that the drivers who did not improve their afternoon times, were quick to blame it on the free lunch provided by the Region. They believe they may have eaten “way too much” and added too much unnecessary weight that caused them to slow down. That excuse is one of the most over-used excuse on an exceptionally long “List of Excuses” for why the drivers did not improve their afternoon times. The course was a counter-clockwise flowing course welldesigned by the Autocross Chairman, Kim K. The course elements included a couple of slaloms, a few off-sets and gates, and two loops. Each driver drove 3 separately timed laps, consecutively, in both the morning and afternoon sessions. There Parking Par they had a lot of fun driving their were smiles galore to reflect Grid Porsche on the course. Rest Rooms

Autocross Event #8 The drivers were categorized in two groups, by the type of tires they were running on their cars, to fairly compare their times with the other drivers on the same type of tires. The two tire groups were “Street Tire” type rubber compound” and “Race Tire” a softer stickier type rubber compound. Thirtythree drivers were in the “Street Tire” group and five were in the “Race Tire” group. The average time for the “Street Tire” group was 59.410 seconds with the top two times driven by Steve E. with a 51.204 seconds and Ron B. with a 51.345 seconds. What was impressive in the “Street Tire” group was a Macan driven by Chularat H. with her best time of 67.731 seconds, which I believe was her first autocross event. Also, she bested the times of other drivers in the “Street Tire” group. Just think what she might be able to accomplish with some more driving experience and with a few competitive adjustments to her Macan. You “Street Tire” guys better watch out! In the “Race Tire” group the average lap time was 52.369 seconds and the two top times were driven by Ted L. with a 48.506 seconds and Kenny M. with a 51.462. An autocross event is really a driver’s skill event held on a large asphalt parking lot type area without any obstacles. An autocross event could be considered as a social event mixed-in with some fun driving through a path of traffic cones. Autocrosses are not like a motorcycle motocross type event with whoopee-dos, or are you racing another car. A matter of fact, you are essentially the only car on a course outlined by 18” tall plastic traffic cones, safely guiding where you need to drive your Porsche at low-speeds. An autocross event is a lot safer than driving your Porsche in a gas station or through a super-market parking lot. The only thing you can hit is a pliable material type traffic cone which will only leave a wax type mark on your car if you accidently rub or hit a cone. The wax marks will come off with a little car wax and you will not be able to notice where the cone mark was.

Treffen Scottsdale Driving Tours Recap MINGUS MOUNTAIN TO HISTORIC JEROME AND COTTONWOOD TOUR by Lead Driver and Navigator, Doug and Rita Low
T
reffen guests had the opportunity to see some of Arizona’s most beautiful and diverse terrain on the Mingus Mountain/ Jerome/Cottonwood driving tour. 45 members and 23 vehicles attended each of the two tours on Thursday May 8, 2021 and Saturday May 10, 2021. The tour began in Scottsdale, winding our way past stylish urban neighborhoods, trendy shops, past acres of blooming saguaro cacti and wild flowers on our way to the Prescott National Forest. There among the pine trees we tested our skills on twisties of Mingus Mountain. At an altitude of 7500 feet, the views were amazing. We arrived in the colorful historic mining town of Jerome and toured bustling Main Street on our way to the Douglas Mansion Museum. This museum is home to an extensive collection of historic photos, mining equipment, and geological displays. From Jerome we wound our way down the mountain to Cottonwood, another historic community. Our tour concluded after a delicious western style BBQ at the Colt Grill. Participants were then free to explore Cottonwood and Jerome then return to Scottsdale on their own. Our tour was approximately 250 miles round trip and enjoyed by all participants. Sweep Driver, Dennis Rood
T
his husband and wife team shipped their cars from Germany for some U.S. driving. Right in front of me-sweeper-last Thursday on the Jerome Tour. Both very good drivers. Notice last 5 digits of license plate on white car is CO 911 and on blue car OC 911. 2 GT3RS from Germany

HISTORIC PRESCOTT TOUR by Lead Driver and Navigator, Jim and Carole Bultema
W
ith all the precision of a Porsche, nearly 50 Treffen participants lined up in tight formation for an 8:15 am departure to historic Prescott. There were people from across the United States including: California, Indiana, Texas, New York, and Georgia, to name just a few. What amazes me, but probably shouldn’t, is how friendly everyone was. In just the short time before mounting up, friends were made, as were promises to get together. With the police blocking off the first intersection on busy Pima Road, we were off through the city heading to Prescott. With much of the desert in bloom, Arizona was showing off its beauty which was greatly appreciated by all. After our pit-stop and more enticing conversation we headed for the first group of twisties which allowed everyone to safely stretch the legs of their Porsches. The second group of curves were highlighted by the tall Ponderosa’s as we zoomed up the mountain to Prescott. After a sumptuous Mexican meal at the historic Hassayampa Inn, the guests were off to explore and marvel at the Western lore of this fun town. What a memorable trip it was. Also want to thank Ken and Karen Shahoian (mid car and navigator) and Bob and Ann Bandera (sweep car and navigator.
SEDONA RED ROCK COUNTRY TOUR by Lead Driver, Andrew Grossman
W
hat would Treffen Scottsdale be without a trip to Sedona? We had a drive the meandered through North Scottsdale and New River before hopping on I-17 to head north. Both drives had relatively light traffic and accident-free journeys, making the freeway portion happily uneventful. We took highway 179 through the Village of Oak Creek and all eight roundabouts to reach our lunch at Los Abrigados. First time visitors were struck by the beauty of the red rocks and Bell Rock. Those of us who have been there many times still find the scenery to be gorgeous.
a crystal or learn about the vortex. We then took 89-A home through Page Springs, past a few wineries and a road, that at times, didn’t feel like it was in Arizona.
The resort put together a sumptuous buffet of Mexican food – tacos, house made chips, guacamole and sopapillas for dessert!! After lunch, many chose to wander around Tlaquepaque and do a little shopping. I think a few ventured across the street to the Center for the New Age to have a psychic reading, purchase G O I N G P L A C E S 86.2021

SOUTH MOUNTAIN & WRIGLEY MANSION TOUR by Lead Driver, Mark Baker
W
e held two tours to South Mountain/Wrigley Mansion. One on Thursday May 6th, the other on Saturday May 8th. The Thursday tour had 45 attendees and the Saturday tour had 42 attendees.
The weather on Thursday hit 101 degrees fahrenheit and on Saturday it was slightly cooler at 95. The majority of the driving was on city streets in Scottsdale and Phoenix, so the enjoyment was at the two destinations of South Mountain and Wrigley Mansion. Once we reached the start of the climb to South Mountain everyone enjoyed the curves and vista views as we climbed. We of course had to be cautious with the crazy cyclists barreling down the curvy roads on our ascent. At the top we were fortunate to have lots of parking and amazing views. We took group photos.
We departed the top of South Mountain and made our way along the city streets and a short freeway segment to get to the Wrigley Mansion. We were treated to a 45 minute tour of Wrigley Mansion and then gathered for a nice lunch. Everyone enjoyed both South Mountain and Wrigley Mansion. Thank you to the Mid team (Matt and Lana Griffin) and the Sweep team (Joe and Pat Murauskis) for their great help and assistance keeping the tour cars all together and checking people in when they arrived at the staging areas first thing in the morning.

SCENIC DRIVE TO FOUNTAIN HILLS by Lead Driver, Mark Manente
T
he Fountain Hills Scenic drive was a relatively short drive, a little over two hours. The first hour of the drive took the group past the North Scottsdale communities of Troon, DC Ranch, and Desert Highlands. I identified it as the North Scottsdale Real Estate tour. We drove past the horse properties and by the over 55 communities of Trilogy, Rio and Tonto Verde. We looped our way to our first pass through of Fountain Hills. After a 25 minute rest break at the Target shopping center parking lot. There was actually a line for the men’s rest room! We also had time for a quick Starbucks’. The second half of the tour led the group through Usery Pass Recreational area. The group on Thursday made a scenic stop at the water users park (where the tube rides begin their journey down the river). Great views of the rock formation and a quick bathroom break. However, the Saturday drive required an on the fly option to eliminate the stop due to the lack of parking available. The second half was a great contrast to the first half of the tour. Mike and Richard help keep the group together even given the number of traffic lights, stop signs and decreasing lanes along the way. The group was welcomed at Arrivederci Cucina Italiana in Fountain Hills, where there was ample parking for all our Porsches. We were served a wonderful lunch on the patio and the famous fountain, that reaches 560 feet in height, was on display for all to see! Thank you Mike and Ruth McBride (mid-lead car), Richard and Vickie Wyatt (sweep car) and my wife, Angela (lead navigator) for making our drives enjoyable and safe. BARTLETT LAKE - CAVE CREEK TOUR by Lead Driver, Larry Grimes photos by Diego Teixidor
I
led two tours for the Treffen event. My thoughts were to forget about our weary pandemic atmosphere and make them as enjoyable and fun as possible. The staging area was well planned and easy to navigate. The tour lead was easy because of a great crew, well written instructions (thanks to Rook and Debbie) and eager participants in great Porsches. Both tours were incident free and we saw a lot of beautiful scenery in North Scottsdale and Cave Creek. The “twisties” near the end of our run left everybody wanting more! Our lunch stops at the Horny Toad were handled perfectly by their staff and the food was great. After each lunch, I stopped by every table to do a little more meet and greet and make sure everyone was happy with the tour and food. At this point, most of the group went their separate ways. We only took a couple of cars back to the Camelback Inn both days. I and my crew found the tours to be very enjoyable and I hope all the participants did also. G O I N G P L A C E S 86.2021

What Can Be Conceived … Can Be Created by Danielle Badler
“
What Can Be Conceived … Can Be Created.” That’s the headline for a framed ad I have on my bookcase. I have a corollary ad beside it, which says “Only Those Who Dare Truly Live.” But the latter headline is for another day. Conceived/Created features a Ferrari 308. Actually, both ads do. A Targa in one, a Berlinetta coupe in the other. I like to think the campaign was a motivation for what came to be called Ferrari Special Projects where, if you have an idea and bring the cash, the Scuderia will do whatever it is your heart desires. Are you familiar with Ferrari’s program? No? You’re not floating in the right circles. Take James Glickenhaus’ P 4/5 by Pininfarina. Which is a take on what the Ferrari prototype racer would look like, if it were built today … only … he actually had Ferrari build his dream, in 2006. The cost? Please. You must be floating in a rubber duckie. And, now, I read that Porsche has gotten into the act. According to Motorauthority, “Porsche had a similar program back in the 1970s called Sonderwunsch, German for ‘special request,’ though it was much more exclusive than Ferrari Special Projects. One of the cars developed via the original program is the 993-generation 911 speedster, of which just two were built. One of those was built for Jerry Seinfeld.” What’s going on? “It is our goal to provide customers around the globe with even more accurately tailored and demand-based products…. “ says Alexander Fabig, head of the individualization and classic departments at Porsche. “Starting with new possibilities of individual components … we have the right option for every customer.” Yeah, that’s right. Anything motive. Not just paint-to-sample colors for your new baby. Not just leather-covered air vents. Not just for Jerry Seinfeld. The whole enchilada. For us! Which got me thinking. What special wish would I make, if I prayed really, really hard, and a Genie appeared in my garage? A real Genie, not a garage door opener. Let’s see. Porsche already makes a bicycle. A yacht. Watches. An apartment building, where an elevator raises your car, right up to your pad in the sky, so you can stare at your vehicle, from the comfort of your living room couch. Let’s look for gaps in the product line. Gaps that all have a sport/ mobility theme, that are in keeping with the essence of the brand. First the cars. Let’s start by embracing the “outlaw” movement with … a modern incarnation of a 356. Sort of a politically correct ratrace renegade version, with turbo-charging and a Stinger exhaust, in coupe and convertible form … and a warranty. Or an updated 904. So sleek, so classic. I’d even allow Porsche to grow it a bit, like Ford did with its modern incarnations of the GT-40. And, while we’re at it, how about a modern 935? With the new Turbo S motor dropped in? Or a modern version of the original 930
| 28 |
“widow-maker,” also with the new Turbo S motor dropped in? Or, and here’s a crazy idea, Porsche can market them both, together … one for the track, one for the street! Burial plots would be extra. Or modern versions of the pure, iconic, race cars of the past. The F1 Porsche that Gurney drove. The Indy car that Teo Fabi drove. The 908-3 that won the Targa Florio. What to do with them? I don’t know. Ask Glickenhaus what he does with his P 4/5. And, while you’re at it, ask Glickenhaus what a modern version of a 917 or 962 would be … and whether he’d like one. Or both. There’s more. A few months ago, I recommended that Stuttgart make the Porsche of wheelchairs. Little did I know … just ask, and they could whip up a whole hospital mobility line, for the aging … or aged … customer. A walker, featuring genuine, shrunken, Fuchs wheels, performance rubber and handgrips molded from a real, pursang steering wheel. And, for the hospital staff, an electric scooter that will run down and pass anything marketed by Lime or Bird. For power, I’d ask Porsche to amortize that battery and fast-charging technology, developed for the Taycan. Think about the scooter’s performance, when doctors and nurses have really got to get to the ER. Call it the “Stat.” And then spin off a street version. Or, yes, a Porsche of golf carts! I’m asking! Think parking lot burnouts. Four-wheel drifts on grass. An extra low-speed setting to get out of bunkers. Off-road capability, to track down that errant tee shot. How about making it float! To retrieve shots that are “wet.” Or just head right out to the seashore. For a whole new category of Porsche motorsport. A motorized kayak? Or canoe? I’m asking! How about the Porsche of Skidoos? Can lithium-ion batteries swim? Or float? In salt water? That’s what Weissach is for. To test out new product and propulsion ideas! And, finally, the quintessential ask. The Porsche of pick-up trucks. It’s not for me. I hate the damn things. I’m asking for the future of the brand. In this country, pick-ups account for … swallow hard, I just checked … 20.1% of the new car market. Here’s a headline from CNBC, this past January – “Pick-up trucks dominate America’s 10 best-selling vehicles….” Are you listening, Porsche? What are you waiting for? Chop a Cayenne. Chop a Macan. Boom. Full-size and mid-size pick-ups. Ready to compete in the largest vehicle segment in the country. These vehicles sell with Porsche-size margins. Just ask the Big Three. And then, you want a bed cover? You want raised ride height? You want an electric powertrain? You want deviated stitching? You want logo floor mats? Just ask! When I was growing up in the metro NY area, late-night radio was dominated by ads for a certain clothing store that was open all night. Their tag line was “money talks, nobody walks.” Now, conceive of what you could do with that, Porsche. I’m asking.
BOOK REVIEWS FOR PORSCHEPHILES by Bruce Herrington, Orange Coast Region
Dodge VIPER the full story of the world’s first V10 sports car
T
he Dodge Viper was never a direct competitor for Porsche, on the track or in the market place. The Viper is a rather unique high performance sports car, and according to this book, the Porsche 911, not the Corvette, was the yardstick against which the development of the Viper was measured. This book is interesting on several levels other than just as a description of a model of sports car. It begins with a brief description of the interesting history of the company the Dodge brothers built. Both brothers died in 1920 and in 1928 Chrysler (now a division of Fiat) took over their assets. There are 12 chapters, five of which narrate the design, development and production of the car. Two chapters provide historical background. Four chapters deal with the factories utilized, Viper racing and with several special vehicles related to the Viper. The first third of the book is about ‘Team Viper’ the unique, and uniquely entrepreneurial department within Chrysler that designed, developed and saw into production the Viper sports car. Dodge VIPER is as much of a management study report as a car story. The last third deals with the developmental changes in each year/model of the car. Finally, there is a brief tabulation of specifications (without serial numbers) for the four overlapping generations of soft-tops and coupes built during the 14 year span of Viper production. Though reportedly a couple of Vipers have been sold ‘new’ as recently as spring of 2021, total production is less than 32,000. An unexpected but interesting the Viper started out as more of the design management process dodge sports car. As such, it activities and corporate culture, and its production.

An unusually thorough discussion of tire development provides the reader with a feel for what is behind the ‘N’ rating for the tire versions developed for Porsche. There is extensive discussion of developmental changes leading to production of the roadster and subsequently the coupe. There is even a discussion of factory involvement in the creation of the Viper club as a marketing tool. In addition to commentary about personnel issues, the narration provides many precise details of each generation of Viper and the rationale for each change. Details are as specific as how a half-inch reduction in crankcase depth allowed a lowering the hood line, and how a change in induction system increased torque to the point a new transmission was required with gears 0.10 inch wider. Dodge VIPER is hard bound with a photo cover. It consists of 136, 8-1/2 x 10-1/3 inch glossy pages on heavyweight paper, with 123 pictures. It should be available for $27.74 from your favorite bookseller (ask for it) or from Amazon Books.
