PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

A Walk Down Technology Lane

Welcome to 2015. Can you believe how fast 2014 slipped past us? Of course, this time of year many of us are executing our New Year’s resolutions, hopefully made early in the evening (I always find those made later in the evening are more challenging). This year will be no different; we are all going to receive or give gifts which have some form of technology. Today, at our DEC2014 final AutoX for 2014 (thanks Walters for your continued sponsorship and AutoWerkes for the DEC event sponsorship) we all listened to Tom Riddings literally launch his 2015 GT3 off of the starting line, not concerned about tire spin, shifting at the first cone, nothing. When it was my turn in the 93 RSA, I was concentrating on the right amount of clutch / accelerator, what the best time was to shift from first to second, before the first turn, after the first turn, and oh by the way trying to hit my line properly.

We are talking about just a bit over 20 years, wow how things have changed.

Thank you, Tom, for the inspiration for this month’s President’s message -- A walk down Technology Lane.

As a past Chief Information Officer and soon to be Chief Sciences Officer, the use of technology has been part of my professional life for many years. The approach for this article was to come up with common things that we all do which have changed right before our eyes, mostly over the last couple of decades …

Videos were not common

Sure, we had movies, even short films, common vehicles in capturing motion and sound. Then, out of the

blue (and as many of us will remember popularized by MTV on AUG 01, 1981 with the song, “Video killed the radio star.” 24 hours of video viewing is uploaded every minute on YouTube and 15 billion videos appear online EVERY MONTH! Come on, get outside and exercise!

Phone numbers

Remember when you hoped that common phone numbers would not include 00000’s that forced you to dial the digit almost all the way around the rotary phone, over and over again (twist, release, twist, release, etc.)

Asking for advice

If the internet went down forever tomorrow, would teenagers be able to answer any questions? Hmmm, think about that one for a minute.

Seeking information about, well anything

Come on, admit it, you are out to dinner having a conversation and a question is asked, what do you do? Of course, look it up on the internet. Google alone handles ~6 billion requests every day.

Show me the money

You stopped by the bank, visited the teller and planned your weekend (actually before the weekend), because if you ran out of cash, well, you were done until Monday.

Call me…

What percent of time do you use your “cell phone” for actually talking? (91% of US adults own a mobile phone) For most smartphones, it is well under 20%. Also, for those of you who had the VERY expensive, two pound Motorola DynaTAC 8000X mobile phone, you were a real trend setter back in 1983 (just 31 years ago).

How waiting has changed Standing in line for a plane, train or automobile would include observing your surroundings and even striking up conversations with others in line. Now standing in a queue involves mostly seeing the tops of people’s heads as they are all looking down at some device.

What it meant to “like” someone

Spend time with someone and over time you would start to like one another.

Now this universal word applies to just about anything, even sad notes on social sites that are “liked” as you awkwardly attempt to offer support.

Natural motion (or not) revealed

Many of you have or will receive some form of exercise band. These bands are great at telling you things about yourself. For instance, today at the DEC07 AutoX I did 17,134 steps, 8.50 miles and burned 3171 calories. Last night after sleeping 6h38m, I woke up 9 times. Remember the good old days when you were just either rested or tired when you woke up?

As technology continues to impact our lives we will all learn to adjust our approaches; however, let’s not forget the moment we are in, right now. I wish you all an exciting and prosperous 2015 and looking forward to seeing you at our PCA/OCR events (you can find me with the smartphone and tablet).

Happy New Year!

EDITOR’S NOTES

Garey Cooper

are built very strongly and will perform well for many years.

Cooper’s Rock

Look, Up in the air!

So, rather ironically, I am writing this month’s editorial at about 35,000 feet over America. I say “ironically” as in the past several years before my retirement, this was a more or less standard thing for me to do. But having traveled cross-country for a special holiday visit with my son’s family in Long Island, magazine timing means the airborne approach is the right one to use.

Given the vagaries of publishing deadlines, I am writing this story before Christmas. So I can say at this stage of my trip to New York, it is a good way to put one in a wintry mood and a Christmas frame of mind at the same time. Of course, when you read this Christmas will have passed and I do indeed hope that your personal Santa or his helper was considerate and that you were on the right list for the right reasons.

Porsche Dreaming

I am frequently drawn into conversations with people over the right

kind of Porsche to buy and I enjoy these times to be a consultant to fulfilling someone’s dream car buy. Quite often, these are first-time buyers and therefore the advice is more pertinent. I realize that if I get it right for that person I may have recruited not only another devotee but a friend as well.

I usually tell the person that, if they have the money, to buy the NEW one but be wary of the option list. A Porsche option list is a thing to behold. Do you want leather trim under any little spot your gaze might land? It can be done, for a price. Just know that those dollars add up very quickly and that your fetish for animal skin may have no respect in the aftermarket. Most of the time a bunch of doodads, gimcracks, and a touch of tomfoolery will in no way change the base value of your car which is, and always will be, a Porsche of a certain year and model. Indeed that mauve leather special upholstery might even detract from the car’s resale audience.

I do tell many Porsche dreamers to start with a second-hand version. Porsches

And I am conscious that many firsttime Porsche buyers are responding to a dream rather than the reality of experience. For some, the trip from a modern sedan with uber comfort to a Porsche sports car with stiff springs, more intrusive road noise, and ignition key to the left, may be a voyage a little further than they had planned to make.

To this end, I’ve even suggested to some to try to rent one for a week or borrow one for a day. If a well-tuned motor sounds symphonic to you, the road noise is more feedback for a great drive than irritation, and interference on the cell phone, then you may be a candidate. But never be afraid to ask someone who owns one and get some advice along the way.

Who needs a driver?

I have just seen an article that a Volkswagen (or Audi) has “done” the Nurburgring autonomously. And that is the north ring at that. Quite an accomplishment, and it advances the autonomous vehicle much further through the maturity cycle than I had known possible. What we can say for certain is that the technology exists.

What probably remains to be cleared lies more in the area of governmental authorization and the vigorous/rigorous permitting and admitting before we look over and see someone napping in the next lane on the way to work.

But it is coming. I am not sure how you feel about it, but it does scare me.

I’ve always had that cussed streak of independence that makes me want to control my own destiny, not have a robot or a series of sensors, servos, and computers do it for me.

Book Review

Porsche 917: Zuffenhausen’s Le Mans and Can-Am Champion Review by Bruce Herrington Book by Karl Ludvigsen Published by Iconografix, Hudson, WI This book is part of the Ludvigsen Library Series. Only the introduction is pure text, the remainder of the book is page after page of full-page photographs and illustrations, with comprehensive and informative captions, averaging over 50 words each. Some photographs showing different drivers at the same corner seem repetitive, but all in all, this is the most comprehensive collection of 917 pictures of which this reviewer is aware.

Ludvigsen’s introduction provides a concise summary of Porsche’s Le Mans involvement, starting in 1951 with a 1.1 Liter Gmünd Aluminum Coupe.

Successes continued through the 908 of 1968. In March 1969, the 917 was introduced at the Geneva Auto Show.

The fantastic success of the 917 in Europe, both by the Wyer team and

by Porsche (Salzburg), and in the US

by Penske/Donahue, is summarized in the introduction. Ludvigsen’s text also makes clear what a gamble it was for Ferdinand Piëch to pursue the design and production of the 917 on an expedited basis, basically building 25 examples of a very expensive design without first building a test car to verify that the design was good.

The 917 was designed (and promoted)

by Ferry Porsche’s ambitious nephew Ferdinand Piëch. It was to blaze new territory for Porsche, being its first 5-liter, 12-cylinder engine. It was intended to restore Porsche’s honor,

tarnished by losses to the Ford GT-40 in 1966 and ‘67, and to compete with a rumored 5 Liter car from Ferrari.

Unfortunately, though the design of the 917 was an evolution from earlier cars, notably the 908, the massive (for Porsche) engine required a revolution in structural design, resulting in an extensive series of modifications to each of the 25 cars, before a 917 was able to achieve its first win, some four months after the 1969 LeMans.

PORSCHE 917 describes how it was only in the transition of the 917 racing program to John Wyer’s operation, that it became clear that the bulk of the 917’s handling problems were due to aerodynamic issues, not chassis/ suspension characteristics.

Several pages show engineering drawings of the engine, illustrating the unique configuration with no direct drive from either end of the crank.

Many pictures, snapshots really, show rarely seen faces of many famous Porsche staffers.

Also pictured are intimate details of piston/cylinders, complex camshaft gear train, and crankshaft, as well as brake rotors, induction piping and other details of engine installation.

Two pictures even illustrate the drastic increase in the size of the ducting for driver cooling, effected between the 1969 initial design and the 1970 raceworn configuration. Less attention is paid to suspension components,

which were more closely allied to configuration of street 911s.

Many photos show the evolution of aerodynamic details of the bodywork.

Interestingly, the CanAm 917/10 had downforce features raising the drag coefficient to 0.67; but having up to 800 hp in a car lighter than a 75 hp 356A Speedster, must have provided a real challenge in keeping the tires on the 17” wide rear wheels in proper contact with the pavement.

No book will make you an instant expert on the 917-- it’s design, development and competition history -- better than will PORSCHE 917. It contains 126, 8½ x 10 inch pages, including over 100 full page pictures.

It should be available for $36.95 from your favorite bookseller (ask for it), or from http://www.mortorbooks.com.

Porsches... Are they really that good?

Story by Greg Noss, Photos by Greg Noss and Mike Knudsen

Greg Noss at speed on the Autocross Track “Are you just obsessed with Porsches, or are they really that good?”

The date was October 17, 2014 and that was the question I got from my friend, Justin. I smiled and replied, “Yes they are really THAT good!” His skepticism resounded in the series of questions that followed. Fortunately, he had signed up to run his three-month old Subaru WRX STI in the Autocross Series on the 19th of October.

After a couple practice runs in my ’08 Cayman S, we got out of my car and he said, “I see why you like Porsches so much, these cars are legit.” He was convinced. By the end of the day he was looking for a Porsche to buy.

Everyone of us has a story about where our journey on the path to owning a

Porsche began. Mine was a bit more exciting, and a bit more challenging because I am the devout skeptic and “the analyst.” My story began with my two friends--Dan and Alan--both of whom are avid Porsche enthusiasts.

I, like Justin, was skeptical of their fanatical claims about Porsche. In an effort to sway my opinion, Dan took me for my first real ride in a Porsche, a 2005 Black Carrera GT. Needless to say I was impressed (that is quite the understatement). That car was way above my pay grade and the skeptic in me doubted that the same kind of World Class Supercar Performance would exist in the rest of their lineup.

Shortly after that ride, Dan invited me to take a trip to the Porsche Sport Driving School in Birmingham,

Alabama. There my question was answered. Every car we drove over those two days from the Boxster, to the Panamera, to the 911 Turbo firmly established what my two friends had been telling me all along. Porsches Really are that good!

From that point on, I have become the penultimate sports car enthusiast. I will drive anything (like I stole it!) that anyone will give me the keys to… I have driven Ferrari 458s, Lamborghinis, Audis, Bentley GTs, Maseratis, every Jaguar in their current lineup, and almost all of the current Porsches. As the measuring stick, they all get compared to the Porsches because “They really are that good.”

January 2015 PANDEMONIUM 11

Greg Noss’ 2008 Cayman S Some cars are good at this, or this aspect is really nice, or something else.

There has not been a single car that can compete with what Porsches offer as a whole-- the styling, comfort, handling, the steering precision, the braking.

Some of these things are very tangible and easy to grasp. Some things like the brakes are harder to figure out. When my friends ride in my car they almost all comment on how well the brakes work, and the ones who have driven my car can tell there is something different,

but they are not sure why. Some of us know, but for everyone else it is the engineering, the details that goes into every Porsche that rolls out of the factory. It is this precision in every detail that makes the sum greater than the whole.

It’s probably a joke with my family to see how long it takes for me to start talking about Porsches with anyone new we meet. Eventually the conversation turns to that question in

one form or another. So now I say, “Let me take you for a ride or better yet sign up your car for an Autocross, then I’ll take you for a real ride.“ After a ride in a Porsche, it cannot be denied how good they are!

Oh, if you are wondering about the brakes, find me at the autocross and I’ll tell you why they are so good. An engineer from Porsche told me their secret.

Drive it Like You Stole It at the Porsche Roadshow Story and Photos by Jim Thomas

capabilities of select Porsche models in two controlled settings under the guidance of professional drivers. It is, in short, a chance to test drive a Porsche that could never happen at a dealership.

Very few Porsche owners ever get to drive even approaching the limits their cars were engineered to achieve.

It’s a fantastic selling tool for Porsche and its retailers to get the prospects into the store and to keep current owners coming back.

I was lucky enough to participate in the just completed Porsche Roadshow at Fontana Raceway. The Roadshow gives current owners and prospects the opportunity to experience the

Two courses are used; the first is a slalom course using a straight away to experience maximum acceleration to a hard brake, and hard right and a modified “S” to demonstrate the

20 PANDEMONIUM January 2015

handling capabilities of each car. In this course we drove a Panamera GTS and Turbo Macan from a standing start.

It went like this; put the right pedal to the floor and then nail the brakes after about 1/8th of mile, accelerate out of the turn and into the “S”. For those of us with driving experience, hitting 90 on the straight in the Panamera was possible. I should mention in our group it was 50/50 Porsche owners and those prospects driving another brand. Everyone in our group had the opportunity to drive both cars more than once and the word of the day was “impressive.” This was my first

opportunity to really drive a Macan and the word is “impressive.” Like many of us I am “aging” and, while I have always loved every 911 I have owned, ingress and egress from my Carrera S is not what it once was. Years of sports (and racing) are starting to catch up with me and the Macan S is starting to look really good; it is what Porsche intended, a 911 in “Crossover” clothes.

Driving the Macan hard will make anyone a believer.

The next course was, as I heard more than one participant exclaim, “Over the top.” It was on the infield road course with some slight modifications. The cars were lined up with an instructor in a Boxster GTS leading a Boxster GTS, Cayman GTS and a Targa 4S… yes that is correct, we were abusing two brand new Targas. The course was spectacular in its design --, short straight into short S -- into quick right hand -- into a reasonably long straight where, if the instructor in the lead car had some confidence in your ability you (I) could hit 120. Then it was a hard brake into a left sweeper and right into a cool down and another right into

Jim Thomas and Instructor

the starting lane again. The instructor guided each driver via one way radio through the course and even the novice drivers had a great time. So what’s the verdict…911 drivers (remember I am one) will not be happy but objectively the Cayman GTS is just amazing. The balance, handling, control, just the overall feel of the car coupled with the power gives it a slight edge over the Targa and the Boxster GTS in my opinion. All of these cars were equipped with PDK and when driven in Sport Plus mode made for an exciting experience. Even the pro drivers admitted they have never beaten a PDK with a manual transmission Porsche.

The final experience for the participants was a drive with one of the pro drivers in a Turbo. The drive was videoed from inside the cockpit and given to each participant on a memory stick. Porsche provided five turbos, all in white and it was a thrill ride even for jaded old racers like me. In that straight away I mentioned my driver hit 138.

these cars had seen all the events and looked none the worse for wear.

The first time we heard the line, Porsche, nothing else comes close, was in the movie Risky Business (the movie that made Tom Cruise). After experiencing the Porsche Roadshow, those words and that sentiment have never been truer.

Rice’s Ramblings

Story and Photos by Lee Rice The 40th Anniversary for the 930 Turbo starts now, so I have license to ramble a bit more on this fantastic Porsche.

But, to kick off some 40th Anniversary Ramblings, let’s begin with some technical bits for 930s, 911s, and many others.

Cleaning Light Assembles I have dim and not very bright Tail/Brake lights. And one brake light was reported to NOT work when I used the brakes?

The cast ‘pot metal’ rear light assembly on 1969-1989 911s is prone to be dim and hard to see mostly over time from a bad lens seal. This happens from deterioration due to water, moisture, and dirt getting into it. The lens cover SEALS can deteriorate in a few years, which will then let dust and dirt get inside the light assembly. A caution in removing the lens: The seal between the lens and the light assembly sticks to the delicate (& expensive) Lens.

Remove it slowly and very carefully.

Dirt and grit found inside these light assemblies should be removed very carefully. Wiping dirt off will scratch and dull the bright reflective surface!

I use a spray bottle with just water and spray it into the lamp and wet the chrome reflective surfaces and try to wash out the grime and dirt. Then I use a soft cloth or cotton to GENTLY blot and then carefully wipe the reflective surfaces.

to brighten the contacts and wipe them clean, then apply a light smear of dielectric paste on the bulb and contacts.

I found the intermittent brake light to be the driving/brake bulb’s electrical plate with two metal contacts having pushed off the pot metal socket. This happens when one pushes the bulb into the light socket too hard as the bulb can only be installed ONE WAY; it is often installed the wrong way, and if one pushes inward, too hard, it breaks or pushes the bulb contact plate out and away from the light socket. I’ve done it too! Fortunately I reinstalled the light contact plate and gently tapped the pot metal socket back down around the contact plate. I also marked the lower light housing with as felt marker to show the correct bulb installation position. Wished I thought of that earlier!

1979 930 turbo

After some instrument work I started having the engine not shut off after running. I shut the ignition key off and out of the ignition switch and the engine kept running! I finally unplugged the Fuel Pump Relay(s) and the engine quit and all power was then off.

I reinstalled the Fuel Pump Relays and restarted the engine. It ran fine but when I turned the key off it kept running, again. I turned the lights on and the engine died and power was off.

The DELAYED IGNITION CUT-OFF DIODE was found to be missing. My thought was, what is this diode and why does the engine still run when I turn it off?

When the 1977 930 turbo came out it had an upgrade that carried on through to the 1989 Turbo (later the turbocharged engine incorporated it into their e.c.u.) This upgrade is an IGNITION DELAY REALY system and the introduction for it is found in the 1977 930 Service Information and is also found in the 930 Turbo Maintenance Manual (TURBO WSM, 28 - 13).

It describes a delay relay that keeps battery power on to the Ignition CDI after the Ignition key is turned off (for 3 to 5 seconds) (This burns residual fuel from the Fuel Distributor, lines, and injectors to prevent a white smoke cloud on start up). And a diode to prevent voltage feedback and continued running…

The problem is with the engine still

The plastic lens can be cleaned with warm water and dish soap. Don’t use cleaners other than dish detergent--even Windex® leaves a film and that clouds the lens over time.

Check the bulb glass and the electrical contacts for corrosion, then the lamp assembly contact strips for cleanliness.

I use very fine black oxide sand paper

running, the fan-alternator is still turning and the alternator is still making electrical power through the blue wire to the warning light and that voltage goes through the alternator warning bulb and on to the instrument power (red/black) wire. That allows enough power to run the fuel pumps--so it just keeps on running!

The Solution is the DIODE placed on the Alternator Warning Lamp Socket and the other end connected to the red/ black wire (instrument 12V power).

Porsche now has a new, much smaller diode than the original cigar long one used in 1977.

CIS Fuel Injection Issues

Encountering an odd starting problem the obvious was missed for a while?

During a normal cold morning start, on a typical 911/930 Turbo, the key is twisted over to ON, then START, and the engine instantly fires up; and this is repeated every day. Particularly annoying is the 1-2 seconds of no oil pressure flowing to the engine parts!

A “normal start” is: turning the key to ON, then START -and you get 3-4 seconds of cranking as residual fuel pressure builds up enough to open the fuel nozzles, and while doing so, allows oil pressure to build and flow to the internals. Just that small 3-4 seconds makes a difference in reliability.

Also annoying was the warm restart: Typically it was after 2–4 hour parking.

You drove somewhere, stopped for four hours or so, then tried to start the engine. The starter just cranks and cranks, but no fire. It got to be that you had to hold you accelerator pedal halfway down to get the engine to start.

After checking many things like the COLD START SWITCH and Cold START NOZZLE, IGNITION COIL, CDI BOX, and the voltage supply tested, (where all tested excellent), Then a recheck of all fuel injectors was

done.

I used a hand pressure pump I made and tested the injectors as per maintenance manual testing procedure.

The Fuel Injectors had been checked twice before, and the fuel patterns were OK. The blow-off pressures were OK and the leak test was within the specifications. Now I tested them again and they again looked OK. Not great, but not bad either. All Fuel injectors leak down tests were done as prescribed and no leaks were observed within the allotted time check. So the Fuel Injectors should be considered acceptable, as they have been for a while?

However, before ordering all new Fuel Injectors (think $800), and with nothing to lose, I tried an old trick using shop air pressure of 125 PSI filtered air. I mixed up some hardware store safety solvent mixed with Techron®, put some in a squirt bottle and filled up each Fuel Injector, took it outside the shop, away from anything electrical or any heat source, and blew it out with a rubber tipped air nozzle. That made quite a large blast of flammable mist! I also took all my used or suspect Fuel Injectors and repeated this process and then retested all of them.

light-off, start, and idle. The idle was smoother and the cold engine ran smoother. Power runs were normal. I also observed a good Air/Fuel Ratio at idle, cruise, and on boost.

On the 2nd “acid test”-- the warm restart was made without touching the accelerator (per pr owners’ manual) and the engine fired within 2 seconds and ran evenly on all cylinders. You won’t see it in a Porsche manual, but a good blast of air or nitrogen can clear some foreign matter from a troublesome Fuel Injector. I have had MFI, early large CIS and small CIS nozzles fail in all kinds of manner. Most failures are from a bad spray pattern, streaking, or will not hold pressure at all and some that will not blow-off at all. This overnight partial leak down was however, a new one for me!

Spray patterns should have as fine of a mist as possible. A perfect pattern looks like a 360° spray of dry powder.

Rarely does any CIS nozzle do this.

Most CIS Injectors have at least a 270° spray pattern that widens outward about 2-3 inches in diameter, evenly, all the

What I found from the 14 injectors I tested was six Injectors that tested with an improved, fine, spray pattern and all within a few PSI “blow-off” pressure of each other. None leaked.

After installing six of the highest blowoff pressure tested injectors (all with new copper o-rings and purging air out of the system), I started the engine and all cylinders ran evenly and a test drive was OK, No problems. The “acid test” would come after a night’s cold soak and cold start.

The next day’s cold start was different.

At START: I had a nice four seconds of cranking and then an excellent CIS Fuel Injections

way around, at about 3-4 inches away from the injector tip. You do not want a narrow, tight pattern (less than 1½ inch in diameter) or an intermittent wide pattern, or an off to one side pattern.

NO streaking allowed! Streaking is a small solid stream of fuel within the spray pattern. It will not burn well, if at all, especially at idle and low power.

Sometimes you can drive with one this way for a while. Sometimes it can be blown out with a good “blast of air.”

Streaking injectors usually have a low blow-off pressure as well and the leak pressure check is suspect as well. It is also common for streaking injectors to have a dead cylinder sound in a running engine –especially when cold. It will missfire until the engine warms enough to burn the bad over rich streak of fuel.

Low blow-off pressure fuel injectors (usually) have a wet, heavy spray. This is mostly from a worn out injector. It will run, but not tune well.

The “Blow-Off” Test

The CIS Fuel Nozzles are specified to blow-off between 2.5-3.6 BAR (25–32 psi). ~(Werk Shop Manual 930, 1976 section 2 2.1-1/5 thru /8)

The Leak Test

Nozzles are tested by increasing pressure, slowly, to 0.5 BAR less than the Blow-Off Pressure and hold that pressure for 15 seconds-without leaking. A partial or slow leaking Fuel Injector leaks its residual pressure fuel into the intake port and into the cylinder and vaporizes. Then next morning the engine cranks and instantly ignites the rich fuel vapor in that cylinder. If an injector only leaks part way down, the engine may run evenly on all cylinders.

It just fires instantly (too soon).

A fuel injector that leaks all of its fuel out will start slower –taking a second or two longer to fire, but will have a distinctive dead cylinder, misfire until that injector can fill with fuel and purge all the air out.

EDITOR’S NOTES CONTINUED FOM PAGE 7 I have just ridden in a friend’s car with an automatic lane departure warning.

That is if your ham fisted attempts to stay properly within your lane, or demon rum fuels an inadequate automotive roadway discipline, a beeper goes off ever more stridently with ever more errant direction. Just add a few hydraulic arms controlling steering linkage and you are there.

Now I will not name this car except to say it rhymes with “Euripides.” Okay, I will tell you; it’s a Mercedes. I used the name as obscure allusion to Greek playwrights, and it is probably not the thing to do in a car magazine.

Orange Coast Region of the Porsche Club of America. Right now, surf over to our web site at http://www.pcaocr. com/ and check out the calendar and find ways to get involved. Make it the year where you get out from under the flat screen’s light emitting diode glare and see some real sunshine and some real roads. Back a thousand years ago in 1015, people were running around with tin pots on their heads rather than over their hoods and whacking each other across the cranium rather than beeping a horn at that annoying person.

We have so many fun things to do with your Porsche.

But Hey It’s 2015!

For the room to vroom crowd we have Autocross and track group therapy sessions available. All that you need is the will to have a great time in a safe environment; we even provide the helmet.

Head Out On the Highway

If you want a good tour to chase away those blues, then stay tuned to our pages and website for several fun tours. These routinely have 20 or more colorful Porsches roaring down sinuous side roads to cool places.

Okay, that is enough for this month’s grist mill and your mind as well as mine. I just want to say good luck in ‘15, come out and play, and may this year be your best ever!
