President’s Message By Greg Lush
Light the fire, keep the flame What a fantastic showing for the January breakfast meeting at Original Mike’s in Santa Ana (always the first Saturday of the month at 8am). Thank you to the over 100 cars and people who attended this event. Way to really kick off the New Year. Chock it up to the great company, a strong desire to see your friends after the Holidays or even New Year’s resolutions. Whatever it took to rally a crowd like that, let’s keep it going for every meeting.
Can you imagine if every member reached out and committed to meet someone new at one of the PCA events. As you know, a week does not pass by that we do not have at least one thing happening at PCA OCR. We have had a long running process within Autocross for the AX team to meet and spend time with at least three new participants at each event. It has been our experience that once a person attends three events they have a high likelihood of sticking with the program. I wonder what the number is for social events, eating events, tours, rallies? Let’s, each and every one of us, make 2014 the year that we commit to meeting and making folks welcome at our events. One final thought on this “participation President’s message” is about the comfort zone which many of us fall into regarding the types of events that we
elect to attend. If each of us chose to attend one different type of event, in addition to our normal events, I believe you would be pleasantly surprised. About 18 months ago, I chose to start attending the “Porsches and Pancakes” last Saturday of the month event by Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach (Lido Island). It’s nice to have the opportunity to meet other club members, some of whom exclusively attend the Porsches and Pancakes event. We’ve all heard the adage,“life is short”. As I get older, and time seems to pass by at an incredible rate, I seem to be more focused on embracing life and opportunities as they present themselves. For many of us, we did not just choose a car, we instead bought into a lifestyle. Porsche and its loyal owners have created an incredible social community that can sometimes be more fun than the car itself! Thank you all for your continued support and participation in our wonderful family in the Orange Coast Region.

Editor’s Notes Story by Garey Cooper The fun we have is no mystery With the Orange Coast Region We’re gonna have a great season!
The Dude abides with his favorite beverage
The OCR Tower all glass, steel, and aluminum grace Expands over the space We call Orange County. Although the citrus trees are history
It’s Official 2014 is now firmly entrenched and we are on a new year’s journey despite any predictions of gloom from some Mayan Calendar or gloomy cult. Our own cult is neither gloomy nor given to inscribe obscure runes on stone tablets. We take on the roads, tracks and display areas for our sport. I personally hope this is the year that everyone gets off the sofa, drops the remote, the iPad, Smartphone or laptop and comes out to join the Orange Coast Region of the Porsche Club of America in some activity. It is all planned and done for you and usually all one has to do is “show up”. So come on out. Shine on Little Porsche It’s official; we are having the “White Gloves” Concours at Lantern Bay Park in Dana Point on June 1st, 2014. Once again
the Field Marshal is our own Mr. Norm Follis. What a day and what a venue. I’m as excited as the bee that flew through an open door at a honey factory. Norm has asked that I emcee once again and being a married man with few opportunities at unbroken speech, I will volunteer to do so. Shiny Porsches, nice people, good food, what’s not to like? So be there or be square. Race on Little Porsche El Toro is still wide open and running. This is awfully good news for those of us with longer memories of running up to Irwindale (a city not featured in many California tourist brochures) and racing around the rather small parking lot at the smaller speedway. It must have saved our Autocross team lots of money as you could have marked out the course with about a dozen cones. Lap times were in the “oh you’re already back” elapsed time range, and there was always the challenge (Continued on Page 29)

Book Review:
INSIDE SHELBY AMERICAN Wrenching and Racing with Carroll Shelby in the 1960s By Randy Leffingwell, published on 20 October, 2013 by Motorbooks, Minneapolis, MN. Review by Bruce Herrington True to its title, this book gives the story of Shelby American, from the inside, from the perspective of one who started out as floor sweeper and became a Shelby team cobra driver. But it is much more than the story of Shelby – it is also the story of John Morton’s early years. Many are acquainted with John Morton from Road & Track, Sports Cars Illustrated, Car and Driver and other media (he first appears in Competition Press in 1963). Others may know of him from his drives in non-factory Porsches during the ‘80s and ‘90s, and from various motorsports nostalgia events around the LA Basin in recent years. Since both Sheby and John Morton are products of the SoCal environment of the ‘50s to ’70s, this is a great book for any Southern California car enthusiast. Inside SHELBY AMERICAN is a fascinating book, even if you aren’t interested in Shelby’s cars. It starts out with a background story of how the author got started in racing with Jalopies, Karts and bicycles even! This section provides a glimpse of life in the bye-gone era when not only did you ‘run-what-ya-brung’, but if you showed up you could race, even with only a construction site hard-hat as a ‘helmet’. The Shelby element begins with the author being a paying student at the Carroll Shelby racing school in Riverside where he had intended to drive his XK-150 Coupe but ended up driving the Cobra Prototype instead. From there he graduated to floor sweeper at the Cobra ‘factory’ in Venice. As the business grew, John moved up to parts chaser, but remained a junior employee, acquiring and racing his own Lotus Super 7, with some administrative support by Carroll. Interestingly, while working at Shelby, but not yet driving for Shelby, John Morton’s racing career progressed to the
point where he rebuilt his Lotus 23 to accommodate a Porsche 904 engine. Development of the Cobra race cars and the creation of the Sunbeam Tiger are described in intimate detail. Reports of trips to races all over the country, on his own or with Team Shelby, the cars mostly on open trailers towed by station wagons and pickup trucks, give some of the flavor of the ‘good ol’ days’, before motorsports became motorbusiness. The Shelby Coupes, the 427 Cobras and the Shelby Mustangs are covered in less detail than the original 289 Cobras. An oft forgotten or ignored era in Shelby American history, this is how they ‘rescued’ the Ford GT40 program after an abortive start in England by Lola and the John Wyer racing team. Ironically, the Shelby American success in developing and racing the GT40 pretty much lead to the demise of the Cobra or at least the 427 versions. Ford seemed to decide to quit while they were ahead (after GT40s won overall at 4 consecutive Le Mans) and withdrew all support for any racing oriented ventures. Inside SHELBY AMERICAN is a classic book, not just because of the hisCarroll Shelby winning the Los Angeles Examiner Grand Prix at Riverside in April 1960, on his way to becoming the USAC Road Racing Champion. He retired from driving at the end of the season because of heart trouble.

torical information it provides, but because it is a book to read, not just look at. In this multimedia age, reading may become a lost art and with its demise books like this will disappear. With them will go the preservation of intimate history that such books provide. It does have 136 pictures in the text. Pictures that look like they came out of someone’s snap shot album (and most did), conveying a sense of intimacy with the subject matter, entirely different from, say, Randy Leffingwell’s outstanding portraits-of-cars pictures. At 6 x 9 inches, this book of 248 pages is conveniently sized, like Pano used to be. By the time you read this review, Inside SHELBY AMERICAN should be available for $28 from your favorite book seller (ask for it) or from HTTP:\\www. motorbooks.com Photo by Bob Tronolone

2013 Toys For Tots Drive Story by Monica Asbury, Talk about a feel-good experience! Saturday, December 14th, Huntington Beach’s Central Park Picnic Shelter was our location for this year’s Annual Toys for Tots Drive. This year, PCA OCR added a Clubsponsored BBQ to add incentive to participate and give everyone some added holiday enjoyment and socialization. Staff Sergeant McKenzie and Sergeant Dunbar from the Naval Weapons Station at Seal Beach helped to fill the boxes with the enormous volume of toys our generous Porsche members donated for those children who are less fortunate. To give you an idea of the number of toys donated, last year our Club members graciously donated and filled six Toys for Tots boxes. This year, Club members overwhelmingly donated and filled ten Toys for Tots boxes! What a haul … and what a success! A BIG THANKS and shout out to all who donated and the approximately 100 members who attended Saturday’s event! Honorable mention goes to: • C. L. Jarusek for making Santa appear at our Toy Drive. • Lisa Hunter (Eguina) for filling in while husband Steve was sick with the flu. • Mary and Dave Hong - who made cooking for 100 members seem effortless. • Uday Gupta, Gary Labb, Scott Fleener, Dave Wright, Tony Napoli . • Special thanks to Staff Sergeant McKenzie and Sergeant Dunbar.

Hiking Boots vs. Driving Shoes? Story by Eric P. Budai, Lena Khatib and Mike Gugert Photos by Mark Inoue, Lena Khatib and Eric P. Budai The PCA OCR Anza Desert Tour Nov. 30 2013 Anytime a road trip is planned, especially in the desert, you are faced with a grab bag of weather surprises... high winds, flash floods and near-freezing temperatures. There are other roadside gambles as well: flat tires, mechanical breakdowns, poor directions. Fortunately this time, the weather Gods smiled favorably upon our small band of travelers and we suffered no roadside calamities. In fact the weather was superb. Our group met at Panera Bakery in Lake Forest to hand out maps and radios. (safety first) There was an interesting collection of vehicles: two Ford trucks, one Jeep Commander, one Range Rover and three Cayennes. All vehicles had 4-wheel drive capability and owners who were willing to go off-highway. We struck out on the 5 south, then wound our way up Highway 78 east all the way through Ramona to the Anza Borrego Ranger Station. This station was set up as sort of a gateway to the desert area. Examples of fossils, animals, plants and lots of region history can be found here, along with interpretive Rangers to answer questions. Popular displays were the scorpions and tarantulas. After a short break we drove the last few miles on Split Mountain Road, to the entrance of Fish Creek Wash. The wash meanders westerly through a very scenic canyon with high walls and sandy bottom. To imagine that all of this was carved by erosion, actually quite recently, is pretty amazing. Eventually the wash widens out into a mesa where the trail to the Wind Caves is located. We decided to eat lunch before a short one-mile hike over the ridge to the caves. The Wind Caves resemble something out of the Flintstones, like a prehistoric condo complex. Everyone enjoyed cambering all around these unique formations on foot. Next on the tour was nearby Shell Reef. The reef is an ancient seabed that extends to the south and was exposed over time by the elements. Following a quick
12
primer on what to look for, we were soon rewarded with samples of oysters, clamshells and petrified cottonwood. The area is abundant with great finds in any direction. Following the Shell Reef, some of the group decided to head home. The rest of us headed over to Blow Sand Hill to goof around in the soft sand for a bit. After getting mired enough times in seemingly bottomless sand, we decided to quit while ahead and meet back at the ranger station. Now at this point it could be said that we had a full day of discovery and adventure. But not yet! The rangers had set up
telescopes to observe various stars and nebula and we were able to view the sky with them. The clear desert night sky gave up fantastic views of the Orion Nebula, a double star and the Pleiades. After the telescopes, we brought out some L.E.D. black lights to spot a few scorpions running around in the night. Scorpions are naturally fluorescing under UV light, and we counted about 10, ranging in size from 1/2� to 1� or so. Special care was taken not to disturb these special desert survivors. All in all, what a day. Thanks to all who participated to make it such a great trip.

Rice’s Ramblings:
Porsche SC vs 993 Story by Lee Rice
Attention is building as this year the world will see Porsche’s new 918 Le Mans Race Car. Expectations are high and expecting a close race is wise. This is likely to not be a run-a-way victory for any car, including Porsche. Spy images of what might be the actual car are varied and, as far back as the Spring of 1972, everyone was ‘skunked’ regarding what they thought would be Porsche’s new CanAm 917 turbo racecar. There was even a tobacco ad featuring what they believed the new car was, only to be fooled or foiled by the Porsche Racing Department.
Will we see the actual 918 racer at Le Mans testing in early June?
QUESTION: What are your thoughts of selling a late 911SC and getting a 993?
Well, there is a lot to consider as the 911SC is not loosing value and it is a great “911” to begin with. The 993 Carrera is currently available for a good price as is every new “911” model that comes out on the market. A flock of those with the latest new (Now old “911s” (997), simply must have the very latest 911! That trickle down leaves the prices of the 993 at bargain prices-at least in my opinion. Mechanical speaking about both, most corrective issues are resolved in the 911SC. The chain tensioner should have the oil pressure (1984) tensioners and the late twin bushing “idler” supports. A 911SC with over 50,000 miles might need a normal valve job. Also, at that mileage, it would be wise to disas-
semble and do any repairs needed from wear in the transaxle such as bearings, synchros, seals etc. when removing the engine and transaxle for a needed valve job.

2013 Christmas Cruise Story by Maryann Marks In the true Holiday spirit, we were blessed with a perfect day, full of sunshine, good food and beverages and, most of all, our warm and wonderful PCA friendships. The Icon was decorated beautifully and set a perfect stage for a festive cruise around Newport Harbor. Our Guests were handed a glass of bubbly at boarding then socialized while ohhing and ahhing over the highly desirable auction items that Peggy & Scott Huddleston managed to pull together once again. How does she do it? We thank all of our more then generous members, advertisers and sponsors for contributing and making this all possible. Chef David prepared a sumptuous spread for all to enjoy as the ICON proceeded to cruise through the Harbor full of Christmas decorations galore. Even in Daytime there was plenty to see. Every couple received some type of treat from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Santaâ&#x20AC;?, either a cool Porsche Poster, calendar, or other fun Porsche novelty. As the ICON docked , auction item winners were signing checks with huge smiles and collecting their winnings as their first present of the 2013 Holiday season.

United States Grand Prix
Maxine and Garey, weird in Austin
Travel to the USGP in Austin, Texas. The United States Grand Prix has a fairly long history in the USA. It has moved around quite a bit and a good trivia question would be to name all the cities that have hosted “our” Grand Prix. I can think of; Watkins Glen, Riverside, Dallas, Las Vegas (yes, really), Phoenix, Indianapolis, and Long Beach. I’d appreciate someone fact checking me here but I do also believe the venue hosting the USGP the most times was Watkins Glen, in New York. In 2010-2011-2012 an adventuresome set of entrepreneurs came together to build a state of the art race track in the area of Austin, Texas. The project was not without problems. There were rumors of discontent and management disruption, but it all seemed to work and in the end we had a beautiful facility in the South/ Central of these here “Excited States”. I was only able to watch the race on television in 2012, but it looked well organized enough that it seemed to me a great idea to make a trip in 2013 and to go see the elephant. So with some trepidation, I approached the redoubtable Mrs. Maxine T. Cooper and humbly asked if she would like to go and sit in the sun, breathing dust, losing your hearing and watch some spindly race cars flash by every couple of minutes. Not normally a racing fan, but fully crafty enough to realize how many honey do’s this would accumulate she said yes… after I came to (a glass of cold water
to the face) we began to organize the trip. We are very fortunate to have good friends of many years standing who have a home in Spicewood, Texas. Spicewood is unfortunately on the other side of Austin to the Grand Prix site but it is a very nice place and contains, courtesy of our friends, the magic word to entice Mrs. Cooper; GOLF. This, plus the accommodations being free helped to lessen the logistics load in planning our travel.
However, traveling with golf clubs adds a dimension of physical labor, at least to my side of the going and coming. Add carrying Mrs. Cooper’s portmanteau, “The Widowmaker” can make life difficult for an ex-office worker. Why didn’t I choose a sport that required much less equipment? Say, for instance tiiddily winks… those winks are pretty small and light. The track is named “Circuit of the America’s” or COTA. Being placed near an international airport and gateway, it is easily accessible to much of our neighbors to the south as well as anywhere in the US. Thus there are distinct Latin flavors to the race with many spectators coming up for the race which adds spice and character to the entire event.
FEBRUARY 2014
The entire town of Austin seems to support the race. Billboards and “race special” sale signs are everywhere. Austin prides itself on being different, which means they wear shirts that say, “keep Austin weird”. But the town is great fun and worth a visit by anyone at any time of year, particularly at race time. The Track The COTA is a pretty big chunk of ground. It is almost within sight of town down Austin. The markings to get in and out are pretty clear but one needs to pay attention where one will be parking as the penalty for missing the direction the organizers want you to take to your parking place is pretty severe… you may spend another twenty minutes traversing the perimeter if you miss the first time. Racing sight lines are not too bad, but being a road course there are locations that are perhaps better than others. Some of these are snapped up early so if you are thinking of 2014 I’d say go online now. When choosing a spot I’d look for places at the ends of straights, most preferably in the braking zone. It seems that most passing nowadays in Formula 1 is done under the brakes. Or not much passing is done at all. As always, it helps to sit up as high as you can in the bleachers. The Race As mentioned above “or not much passing at all” this year’s race was a showcase for Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull/Renault. If you’re an aficionado as I am, you can admire the technical prowess of the car and the skill of the driver. But for the more casual fan, I fear that seeing someone run off into the distance while the rest of the field dutifully follows at a respectful distance may be less fun than…drinking. Fortunately drink is available and in variety, mixed, carbonated, alcohol, non-alcohol (how much fun can that be?) And yes you can buy a “Red Bull” energy drink from many different vendors. Even the usual spice of multiple pit stops for tires was minimized for this (Continued from Page 31)

Editor’s Notes:
(Continued from Page 5)
of running the course over the drainage lines in the Parking Lot. Now at El Toro we have minute plus lap times and no drainage lines to worry about. Believe me, 60 seconds plus is a good thrill that seems much longer when you’re on track. It takes longer when the car ends up pointing in the wrong direction, but that’s my problem… Even if you don’t choose to run, go out to El Toro and watch one, better yet volunteer to flag, and I guarantee a good time. Wiggle Waggle Little Porsche And we have the Rallye’s and Tours in 2014. By the time you receive and read this word-by-word the first tour of the season will already have taken place. Although the “Zone” puts on this one, it will have taken place on January 18th in Palm Springs. Mrs. Cooper can’t imagine Palm Springs without a golf club in one hand and a credit card for El Paseo in the other. I always remember the cactus needles in my backside after looking for yet another errant golf ball. Oh well, you get the point, as I did physically. Mangia, Mangia! Or maybe since our cars are German that should be, “essen, essen”? The translation is “eat” and that is one thing we do. It needs little training, of course, and anyone can enjoy hamburgers, or pancakes with Porsches. Mrs. Cooper monitors my cholesterol or at least my propensity to enjoy the various delivery systems this nefarious stuff uses to turn my blood stream into a slurry that will barely move through my veins. I’ve never seen cholesterol raw, not sure I’d want to actually see the stuff. But I have seen pancakes
and you should enjoy them with our OCR crew on the fourth weekend of the month down in Newport Beach. Warm butter on a stack of griddle cakes? Amen and all that. Oh, and don’t forget the hamburgers at the club “BurgerBahn” at Woody’s. This is one of the few weeknight events we have. I don’t suppose you actually have to order a hamburger to go there as other foods are available, but come on… why wouldn’t ya? It’s All There In black and white in the Pandemonium and of course in bits and bytes on the Internet at our web site. That is the schedule for all of this mayhem in 2014. By the way, do we still actually use “bits” and “bytes”? Some computer guru can obviously tell me I suppose. And maybe hexadecimal has gone the way of the Edsel? Any word with “hex” in it is threatening to me. Your Personal Information Is of course everywhere nowadays. And probably some or much of it is out of date or incorrect. In the Porsche Club, our national headquarters monitors and tracks dues payments and member information. I mention this as if you send in your information with changes along with your dues payment, they don’t actually read it. Hey, we’re talking about a volunteer organization with scores of thousands of members. They cash the check of course, but there is no volunteer bank of motivated PCA employees busily typing away on member changes in the database. The volunteer has to be you. So to make changes of address, or relationship status, one must go to the national web site and put them in. It’s not hard to do and is the only way

to make sure it all comes out the way you want it. It’s fun to visit the national site anyway, it is well organized and they have a “for sale” page with cars and parts put there by members that are fun to browse. Paul Walker This has been the subject of much discussion among my Porsche/Car friends and it is a sad subject. Two young men died during a quick ride, and in a Carerra GT. I remember a trackside graffito from many years ago at Riverside Raceway; “motor gently in the greasemud, for there the skid demon lurks.” Humorous in language but verily true in content. What can we learn from the passing of these two men? I am still not completely sure myself, but an early thought is what your mom used to tell you on the way to the school bus, “be careful”. Remember that big consequences can come from lapses of luck or skill that happen in seconds. I like to drive fast and I like to watch cars being driven fast, and I like fast cars. This relationship can bring danger, so be aware of it while you’re having fun. Until We Meet Again Sunshine, bliss and open roads are my wishes for you, my Porsche friends! And may 2014 unfold as brilliantly as the weather in California.

Board Candidates: (Continued from Page 23) race as to my recollection Sebastian only needed one stop to go full distance. One might get more drama from the Disney channel. As an antidote I would recommend making sure to attend the Saturday “knock out” qualifying. There is perhaps more drama here than in the race itself. Qualifying is split into three sessions with approximately one third of the cars being eliminated in each round to determine the ultimate grid placing for the race itself. This is much fun and maybe the driving is as hard or harder than in the race itself on Sunday.
excellent. When in Austin take the time to drive out and try them. Would I go back? I would and I think that next year’s rules change to Formula one with “green” six cylinder turbocharged engines will upset enough apple carts that there will be at least one-two years for the cream to once again rise to the top. That will add to the mix of watching and perhaps make for some upsets to the existing pecking order. Will the new motors have that ear piercing shrill that the current tiny V8’s emit? We’ll have to go back and see won’t we?
Travel notes Mrs. Cooper and I flew direct to Austin from San Diego with Southwest Airlines. While the loading procedure for Southwest resembles heifers in the cattle chute, they do have the good grace to not charge for one piece of luggage each, remember the “Widowmaker”! It is basic but fairly enough priced to make it okay. Just remember to get there before the other travelers take all of the coveted overhead storage. Since we didn’t crash in either direction, I guess that qualifies as a fair flight. I needed to spend a minor fortune for our little Prius rental car. I had forgotten to reserve a car early on and very nearly didn’t find one. However “rentalcars. com” located one for me at a minor king’s ransom. The cars at Austin airport are just across from the terminal so they don’t require a bus ride as many other airports do. I can’t imagine a more stark contrast to a modern formula one car than a Prius, but the dash display is entertaining as it goes through digital acrobatics to convince you that your are saving the planet as well as the rain forest with itinerant aborigines one gallon of gasoline at a time. So the lesson here is to get the tickets early and to get the rental car reserved early, go for a nice Camaro or Ford Mustang and let the aborigines go to MacDonalds for their lunch like everyone else. Special Restaurant Note We have gone to “Hudson’s on the Bend” over the years in Austin. And this is one distinctive location that specializes in local game and locally grown produce. The menu is unique and the preparations are

the problem, and finding nothing, I had enough so I: • Electrically raised the seat to full up travel; • Removed the seat and placed it on a workbench covered with protective towels; • Used 3 cans of brake cleaning spray fluid, installed the red nozzle tube, and placed a empty container under the seat rails hanging over the
•
work bench;Then, with doors open wide (the stuff is toxic and stinks!), • Sprayed into the enclosed seat travel rails. (You can barely see the enclosed inner seat rail and ball bearings that the upper seat frame moves over, but they are there.) • Sprayed into the recess as best as possible using two cans on my seat alone; • I saw a lot of grimy grease and dirt come out. I repeated this again after looking carefully for offending debris. Seeing none, I blasted another can into the seat rails until I saw nothing coming out but clean spray fluid. Then I blew dry the seat rails with shop air - hoping any offending material would be blown out of the seat rails, Sprayed WD-40 into the seat rails as well as a few squirts of synthetic motor oil.

Reinstalled the seat and bolted it down, then tested its fore & aft movement: OK. Next came the ‘acid’ test’. I drove using both boost and firm brake applications to place stress on the seat system. Once stopped, I once again found the seat to be completely free and move as slippery and smoothly as it should. Problem FIXED! I still believe that a small piece of ‘something’ was loose in one of the two seat rails so that while driving it moved into the roller bearing’s track and caused the obstruction. Although annoying and frustrating, persistence finally paid off. I later repeated the process on the passenger seat just in case something was waiting to cause a problem . I report on these ‘small things’ as I know that small problems, like these, have led people to sell their car. Some small things become more annoying than the joy of driving with everything else working 100%
