The last two months have seen tours, tech sessions, ice cream socials and our (just completed) annual Crab Feast! Our committee chairs and members of the Board are doing a spectacular job keeping the Region busy and healthy, and I’d like to thank each one of them personally for the tremendous effort and time they put into these events on our behalf. It is truly amazing how dedicated each member is to the task at hand.

Vic Elford

Bob Rassa Vic was the first driver to ever lap at over 150 mph average, set in 1970 in a 917 Lang Heck (Long tail), and based on horsepower, gearing, speed, distance calculations, Porsche’s Head of Racing, Fritz Huschke von Hanstein, calculated that Vic had attained a speed of 254mph along the Mulsanne straight in the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans driving the 917. A record that will most likely never be broken, as the Mulsanne straight now has two chicanes to reduce speed for driver’s safety. If you ever saw PCA-Chesapeake’s Mike Keyser’s film “The Speed Merchants” (http://www.amazon.com/ The-Speed-Merchants-Mario-Andretti/dp/0976039230), Vic Elford is the narrator and clearly added the excitement and interest to this amazing documentary.

ne of the greatest drivers of all time, Vic Elford, will indeed be the Guest of Honor at our Chesapeake Challenge 45 this September. The legendary Mr. Elford was one of Porsche’s winningest drivers in the late 60’s and early 70’s, and is the only driver to have raced every version of the exotic 917. Prior to sports car racing Vic was interested in rallying, and in 1967 Vic was the European Rally Champion, but his expertise behind the wheel lured major race team sponsors to his camp and he went on to endurance and manufacturer’s championship racing, not to mention some Formula 1 to boot. In 1968 alone, Vic won the Monte Carlo rally, the 24 hours of Daytona, placed 2nd in the 24 hours of Sebring, and then won the Targa Florio and 1,000 km at Nürburgring. In fact, Vic is one of only 4 drivers to post 6 wins at Nurburgring, placing him in the company of Rudy Caracciolo, John Surtees and Stirling Moss. Vic is a careful but fast driver, and set lap records at numerous tracks including Nurburgring, Targa Florio, Daytona, Sebring, Riverside, Nosring, Monza, Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta and LeMans. At LeMans,

Vic is also a most engaging and interesting speaker, having been the a guest speaker at several Porsche Parades, at the prestigious Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, and at Porsche special exhibits such as the fall 2012 Museum of Art Porsche display in Raleigh, NC. We have talked with Vic on numerous occasions, and he is a cheerful, delightful person with an engaging personality and tons of humorous Porsche anecdotes to share. During some high-speed testing for Porsche, for example, the car was quite unstable and crashed, and although Vic was unhurt the car suffered serious damage. It was the suspension that broke, and Vic picked up a broken part before he was transported back to the pits. Porsche race director Fritz Huschke von Hanstein, who knew from radio contact that Vic was all right, asked as Vic brought the broken part in, “Oh, Vic, please don’t tell me that is all that is left!” Vic will share this and other Porsche stories on Friday evening at Porsche of Towson, as the opening event for Chesapeake Challenge 45, September 19 & 20. Don’t miss it!

Reflections On A Golden Era In Motorsports achieving a record time so unbelievably fast, the initial reaction from competing teams was that there had been a timing error. The next weekend Vic won the Daytona 24 hours in a new Porsche 907 LH on his first visit to the track. A month later he was second at Sebring in a short-tail 907. Then in May, at the Targa Florio, Vic overcame an 18-minute deficit to win by nearly three minutes, setting a new lap record and race record. Two weeks later Vic won the 1000 Kilometers at Nurburgring, a track where he excelled, driving the new Porsche 908. Then in July, in his first F1 race, Vic took a badly outclassed Cooper T86B from last on the grid to fourth place in a soaking-wet French Grand Prix. Vic offers the reader an insider’s view of drivers and teams, and of a racer’s life during the 1960’s and 1970’s. In addition to his perspective on the sport, Vic also illuminates the in-between moments that were part of traveling from one race to the next, including driving flat-out along the coast of Greece after missing a ferry to catch up with his team, buying precious Czech crystal and transporting it by car, and clearing a congested city intersection in July by using firecrackers. In his fast-paced autobiography, Vic chronicles the rom Vic Elford’s book dust jacket — Vic world of motorsports in the 1960’s and 1970’s as only Elford began his career in rally cars and was someone who experienced it can. a factory driver for BMC and Ford.

Ginette, Roxane's French sister-in-law, helped Bob find the way to the city's American Hospital when the pregnant Roxane went into premature labor. Ginette didn't know the way, but served as an interpreter for a French nephew who knew the way but didn't speak English.

She traveled around Europe in that box, in the Zachs' 911L. Hospitals provided such boxes for newborns in the days before safety seats for children.

7 Bob, Roxane and Patricia visited Paris in October 1968.

Patricia, no longer an infant, is shown in this picture cleaning and detailing the long-unused 911L in 1984 in an effort to get her parents to start using the car again. That was a year after the family moved to Maryland from New Jersey. Patricia was 17 at the time. She later earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, after which she went on to medical school and became a pediatrician.

The 911T gave chase. “Why aren’t you keeping up with them?” Roxane asked Bob. “We’re doing over 120 and they’re still going faster than we are,” Bob said. Later on, in Munich, the Zachs again saw the 911T, which was supposed to have a lower top speed than their 911L. Bob asked the driver why his car was so fast. It turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing – a 911 with a racing engine. “It’s an ‘R,’” the driver said. But perhaps their most memorable time with the 911 occurred in Paris in early October 1968, after a drive on the Champs-Élysées. Roxane, who was seven months pregnant, suddenly experienced contractions. The Zachs needed to go to the American hospital, but they didn’t know how to get there. So they picked up Roxane’s sister-in-law and a teenage nephew, who were French. He knew the way but didn’t speak English; she spoke English but didn’t know the way. So both of them had to squeeze into the rear seats of the 911, while in front Roxane held one-year-old Patricia on her lap, as Bob drove through Paris’s rush hour. Just imagine: Five people inside a 1968 911, one of whom was a pregnant woman in labor and holding a baby, in a traffic jam. The most excruciating moment was when they got stuck in a gridlock on the roundabout surrounding the Arc de Triomphe. Eventually, the frantic party of five got away and reached the hospital, where the premature birth of the Zachs’ son Christopher was barely averted. (He was subsequently born in New Jersey, in December.)

St. Bernard Pass, the Gotthard Pass, the Maloja Pass and the San Bernardino Pass. Also memorable was the very challenging Stelvio Pass in Italy, which offered “great views and no margin for error.” But the fastest route from Heidelberg to Italy at that time was via an auto train through the Simplon Tunnel. “We would drive to a Swiss town called Kanderstag, put the 911 on the train, travel on one of the most scenic railway routes I’ve been on, and arrive in the Italian city of Domodossola. From there, we would take the autostrada to Milan and points south,” Bob said. In the winter, loading the 911 on an auto train was a welcome option when the mountain passes were closed. One could also drive through the tunnels in the Alps. “On long trips, Roxane and I shared the driving, which we both enjoyed. She drove as fast as I did,” Bob said. “That 911 was our only car, so we used it all the time. We drove it even in the winter,” Bob said. “We loved it, but we didn’t consider it something special that we had to baby. We never imagined it would one day become a valuable collectible car.” Toward the end of 1968, it was time for the Zachs to go back to the States. Roxane and Patricia flew home in late November. Bob followed them in early December, after arranging the shipment of the 911 to New Jersey. A few days later, their son Christopher was born. In subsequent years, the Zachs were blessed with another son, Jeffrey, and another daughter, Alyssa.

Not surprisingly, the Zach’s 911 ceased to be a Looking back, Bob remembered the Italian Riviera daily driver almost as soon it reached U.S. soil. road leading to Finale Ligure as among the most With a growing family came the need for more most enjoyable to drive on, along with the Swiss spacious vehicles, including a Subaru, a mountain passes, such as the Brenner Pass, the Mercury Colony Park station wagon, a Ford

9 This was the showroom price tag of the Zach's 1968 Porsche 911L in September 1967. The 19,500 Deutsch mark asking price was equivalent to about $4,900 at that time.

10 10 The Porsche section of a 1967 German automobile buyers' guide lists the 912, 911T, 911L and 911S, and shows photos of the 912 and 911S. The list price of the 911L is indicated as 20,980 Deutsch marks, equivalent to about $5,245 at that time.

11 The 911's restoration was finally completed in May 2014. The work was done in accordance with the car's original German specifications. Ralph Simmers gave the car a clean bill of health.

Flat 6 engine, 1991 cc, 130 hp @ 6100 rpm, 129 lb-ft @ 4200 rpm, normally aspirated, Weber carburetor, air/oil-cooled, with single overhead camshaft

Taurus SHO, an Acura Integra 4-door sedan and many others. Contributing further to the 911’s long periods of dormancy was the fact that the car had no air conditioner and had a heater that stopped working well. U.S. speed limits didn’t help, either. But the Zachs never considered selling the 911, even while it sat unused and gathering dust in their garage in New Jersey for 12 years and in Maryland for 26 years. “We had many memories connected with that car, and we never needed to sell it,” Bob said. “So we just let it sit there.” Then, in 2009, the owner of a body shop who was visiting one of the Zachs’ neighbors saw the dusty 911 in the Zachs’ Timonium garage. He offered to do a full restoration and a repaint of the car’s body if another shop could take care of any mechanical work that might be needed. That man was Jeff Shaw of Collision Craft. He was no stranger to the Zachs. Years earlier, Bob and Roxane had four teenage drivers in the family. And those youngsters helped keep Jeff’s Baltimore body shop busy and prosperous. A deal was struck, whereby Jeff’s shop would work on the 911 whenever it had time and manpower to spare, in exchange for a discounted charge. Bob was to take care of purchasing whatever parts and materials were needed.

chanical reconditioning of the 911, Bob drove the car home, replaced its old tires with new ones, and then drove it to Jeff’s body shop. The drivetrain was kept in place, but everything else was taken out, including the windshield and window glass. The body was stripped to bare metal. Surface rust in a few spots was removed. Then a thorough repaint in the car’s original color was done. In putting everything back, the body shop replaced the rubber seals and weather-stripping that were no longer any good. The broken fog light on the driver’s side was replaced, as were the front shock absorbers. The reconstituted interior was kept totally original, except for the headliner and carpeting, which were replaced. The Zachs held on to practically all the original parts that were replaced. Finally, after about five years since it began, the 911’s restoration was completed in May. Ralph gave it a clean bill of health. For their first outing with the refreshed car outside Timonium, the Zachs joined the Chesapeake’s Region’s Musket Ridge Tour on June 8. That was when I met them. They are very happy with how their Porsche’s reconditioning has turned out. “It drives just as well as it did when it was new,” Bob said.

Now that their 911 is again in tiptop shape, Bob and Roxane are looking forward to taking it out for fun drives and for more PCA tours. They have Bob started the restoration process by sending the three other cars, so their 47-year-old Porsche long-dormant 911 via a flatbed truck to noted Porsche specialist Ralph Simmers, who runs Ralph’s will not see as much use as it did in the late Auto Service in Reisterstown, MD.

14 Bob and Roxane bought their 911L in September 1967 during their 18-month sojourn in Europe. They moved there from New Jersey because of Bob's work as an electrical engineer.

15 15 The original asking price of the Zachs' 911L was 19,500 Deutsch marks (equivalent to about $4,900) in 1967. The dealer in Heidelberg, Germany, offered it to them with a sizable discount in an effort to make amends over a "mix-up" that resulted in a 911S Targa the Zachs thought had been reserved for them having been sold to a friend of the dealer.

Bob and Roxane drove this car all over Europe in 1967 and 1968, along with their baby daughter Patricia.

traveled all over Europe in it as a baby. She is now a pediatrician. Christopher was nearly born in it in Paris. He is a cybersecurity analyst who has had three Porsches of his own, his current one being a 944. Jeffrey is a business executive. And Alyssa is a defense attorney. All of four of them have their own families now. Every time they visit their parents, they can look forward to having a drive or a ride in a lovely Porsche that has endured and aged well, and holds so many colorful and precious memories. It is now ready to help create more.

17 During the time they lived in Europe, the Zachs accumulated about 30,000 miles on their 911L as they drove around Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, France, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Belgium, the Netherlands and Monaco.

18 18 Their many memorable drives in Europe took the Zachs on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, around the Coliseum in Rome, past St. Peters' Square at the Vatican, over several mountain passes in Switzerland and Italy, through the Italian and French Riviera, and around Monaco.

19 19 Bob and Roxane brought their 911L home to New Jersey as 1968 was coming to an end. Their daughter Patricia was soon joined by son Christopher, and subsequently by two more children, Jeffrey and Alyssa. The Zachs acquired more spacious cars for their growing family, leading them drive the 911 less and less.

The restoration process began with a mechanical reconditioning and full service done by noted Porsche specialist Ralph Simmers, who operates Ralph's Auto Service in Reisterstown, MD.

on both the U.S. and European 911Ls, as well as on the Europe-only 911S. The L and S had similar interiors, but their 1991 cc flat-six engines had different outputs: 130 hp DIN in the L and 160 hp By Aniano Arao DIN in the S.

The 911L’s Place in the Porsche’s History

The Porsche 911L was introduced in 1967 as a 1968 model and was available in Europe and the United States only during that model year. That year, the European market had the 912, 911T, 911L and 911S; the U.S. market had the 912, 911 and 911L but not the 911S, which could not meet that year’s U.S. smog standard.

It seems clear that Porsche upgraded the U.S. 911L as much as it did to make it come as close as possible to the more powerful European 911S in terms of appointments, features and dynamic capability. That way, the 911L was able to temporarily serve as Porsche’s top model in the United States in 1968.

In 1969, the 911S regained its top spot in Porsche’s U.S. lineup when it returned to the American market. Its new mechanical fuel-injection boosted engine output to 170 hp DIN and allowed it to meet the U.S. emission standard of that period. At the same time, the 911L was discontinued a year after its birth, but the 912 (110 hp) and 911S were joined in the U.S. market by the carbuThe U.S. 911L was configured to meet U.S. smog reted 911T (100 hp), which had been introduced in and safety standards, so it was equipped with a Europe the year before, and by the new fuelsmog pump and reflective side markers.

While the 911L was available in both markets, they were not identical. The European 911L was equipped like the base U.S. 911, while the U.S. 911L was equipped like the European 911S, except for the engine. Both the U.S. 911 and the U.S. 911L had the same engine as the European 911L: 1991 cc flat-six with 130 hp DIN.

We’ve been lucky so far with mild-ish summer temperatures, but we expect to get at least one or two scorchers prior to the end of the season. We cannot stress enough that you keep yourself hydrated at the events. Limited drinking water is on hand, so we recommend you bring additional water to ensure you’re taken care of. Headgear, eyewear and sunscreen are also items you should bring along in your track bag – we’re on an open lot with little shade so the sun can be brutal out there! There are plenty of areas for spectators to safely watch the cars during competition, but for their added safety (and to please the PCA legal eagles), please remind anybody who comes with you to the event to check in at the registration/timing table/ trailer to sign an insurance waiver release form and get a really cool, fashionable, sexy wristband (suitable for framing). Also, if you must bring a pet it must be on a leash at all times. Remember that the sound levels that many of the cars produce may be distressing to them!

As you can see membership and pre-registration have their advantages – registration for Chesapeake Region PCA Autocross events can be done at www.motorsportreg.com. What?! You say you haven’t attended a Chesapeake Region PCA Autocross event before? What’s keeping you from attending one now?

***

Yes, autocross is one of those ‘single-player sports’, but you don’t have to have a stable of Porsches in order to share the experience with friends and family. Co-drivers are a common and cost effective way to see who will have bragging rights at the dinner table/ water cooler. And just because it’s a Porsche Club event, that doesn’t mean that cars manufactured by more common brands aren’t welcome – all that’s needed is a car that will pass a cursory mechanical inspection, a valid driver’s license, and of course – the registration fee which is indicated in the following table:

Ice Cream Social

Steve Graham

Twenty-Two Cars and Forty Members Out for Ice Cream!

The Road Trip to Prigel’s Family Creamery I guess it can be said that PCA members like ice cream almost as much as their cars. With only 8 days’ notice, and planned for a Tuesday evening, registration grew to 27 cars for this particular event. In fact, we outgrew our starting point in Hunt Valley, and in the interest of safety the starting point was a few miles north to Sparks Elementary School. As you would expect for July 1, it was very hot, humid, and pop up thunderstorms were a distinct possibility. But that did not deter the group, 22 cars being the final count, as they set out on a 45 minute drive to the Prigel’s Family Creamery on a route taking us through Sparks, Glencoe, Monkton, Long Green, and eventually ending in Glen Arm.

Bellevale Farm has been farmed by the Prigel family since 1895. It received its organic certification in 2008, ensuring that it is economically and environmentally sustainable, and that the herd produces high quality milk that is free of antibiotics and artificial hormones. Of course happy cows help make great ice cream, and from the smiles, great ice cream makes for an enjoyable summer evening. Perhaps a return visit is in order.

Committee Meeting

Editor

Very little can been seen of the new Macan that Steve Postal (to Gary’s left), of Porsche of Towson, explained all of the important features and attributes.

On July 23rd fourteen Board and Committee Chair attendees were treated to a catered dinner and the opportunity to “kick the tires” of the new Macan.

Durch die Heckscheibe Through The Rear Window Bob Rassa, Historian Of the things that were popular in the Baltimore area in the 60’s we think time-speed-distance rallyes were at the top of the list. The first of the Baltimore-area wide activities that achieved “Team Trophy” status were Team Trophy Rallyes, as we reported some months back. PCA members weren’t huge on TTRs as they were called, except for a select few (myself and Steve Shap included). The Volvo Marque Club (and this is pronounced “mark” and not “mar-kee” as most like to mispronounce it) was the biggest time-speed-distance rallye club as far as participation was concerned, with a number of what were called “master rallyists”, a status achieved by winning or placing in the top 3 for a minimum number of TSDs in a given season. One such was Carl Baade, a genuine Swede is there ever was one. Carl drove a Volvo P1800S and had his rallye board with electric odometers and a Halda Speedpilot. The Halda Speedpilot was a Swedish-made analog rallye computer that helped the rallye team on time. If anyone ever wants to see a Halda Speedpilot, I still have mine, still mounted on my rallye board along with several Veeder-Root electric odometers and a few stopwatches.

Bob Rassa

vious rallyemaster I ever knew. Stan could make traps that you just never knew existed; you would be positive you were perfectly on course and on time per your Halda, and at the next checkpoint – what?? 2 minutes early??? Stan had fail-safed the route, tricking many into a wee shortcut that kept you “apparently” on course but disturbed your timekeeping. Stan was a real comedian as well, and reveled in explaining how dumb the rallysts were when they complained to him after the event about bad timekeeping, and giving his signature “tough darts” comment when entrants realized the error of their ways. Stan always wanted the last laugh, and as a member of CSCC created the annual “tough darts” award, presented at the annual CSCC awards dinner to the person who came closest to winning many events but missed by a few points or seconds. I have one of these in my trophy case, a “bowling trophy” style with a dart on top – designed for actual dart competitions. Ah Stan, we miss your humor!

The sports car clubs back then were full of friendly competition of all types, between members of the same club and different clubs (remember, there were 8 clubs). All the competitors knew each other, generally, and lots of camaraderie was evident at all events. The annual awards dinners were fun for sure. PCA-CHS does our holiday party for sure which is fun, but an annual Carl was outstanding; he knew what he was doing and awards dinner was a well-attended event. Maybe PCAalmost always placed in the top 3. He was a great route CHS should initiate some awards; we sure have enough analyst as well, and was good at spotting traps. You see, members to make something like an awards dinner the Halda Speedpilot kept you on time, but keeping worthwhile. oneself on course – well, that was a different matter entirely. Another VMC member who was a master rallyist Next month: A view of some more past PCA-CHS was Stan Wantland, and his wife Shirley. Stan was also events and information. a member of Chesapeake Sports Car Club (CSCC), along with a number of PCA-CHS members, as that club was by far the most active in the Baltimore area. Stan was a Volvo P544 driver, and he was the most de-

Possible Porsche 911 GT3RS Spied

orsche is in the final stages of development of a more hardcore version of its track-focused 911 GT3, the infamous 911 GT3 RS. The latest spy shots reveal as much of the car as ever, as Porsche hasn't bothered to do much in the way of camouflage on this track-focused screamer. The car was originally scheduled to debut this summer, but its arrival may be pushed back slightly because of Porsche’s 911 GT3 engine fire dilemma. Although a fix has been found, Porsche will likely be conducting further tests on the upcoming 911 GT3 RS variant to ensure its engine is as close to bulletproof as possible. These are the latest spy shots of a prototype for the new GT3 RS, taken while it was conducting some high-speed tests on Germany’s Nürburgring. Spied largely undisguised, the new GT3 RS looks sinister in its all-back exterior, its aggressive aerodynamics and large fixed rear wing making it clear this 911's about business first--and that business happens at the track. Visual differences from the standard GT3 include a slightly widened track to accommodate wider wheels and tires, a larger lip around the front spoiler, modified rear fender and bumper air extraction paths, and, of course, the much larger rear wing. The side intakes show Porsche is using the extra-wide body of its latest 911 Turbo for the new GT3 RS. It’s not clear if these will remain on the production version. Expectations for the new GT3 RS include weight reduction, extra power and responsiveness, and an even more focused chassis tune. The current GT3 weighs just 3,152 pounds--relatively svelte for a modern car of its footprint and capability--so the GT3 RS is likely to be at or just under the 3,100-pound mark if Porsche's engineers can shave more weight through use of more carbon fiber panels, a synthetic rear window, and a somewhat more spartan cabin.
