PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Let me start by saying how thankful I am to be part of this club. We have such a unique opportunity to get to know folks from all walks of life and ages. Heck, I have enjoyed getting to know members from Delaney McRae (grade school) to Ken Fredrickson. Isn’t that what really makes any organization alive?

A mix of ages, interests, perspectives, contributions and most of all passion towards a common interest, enjoying what we have, right now! The OCR board and membership do an excellent job balancing our events to make sure that not a month passes where everyone in the club had an opportunity to participate.

Recently, I had the pleasure to join a handful of OCR members in attending the Silver State Challenge. Make sure that you read the fantastic article

by Connie Somers (thanks Connie).

The Silver State Challenge was the inspiration for this month’s message.

Chuck Bartolon (DE TT co-chair and AutoX Emeritus) and I set out for a five day adventure to Nevada. Imagine five

days for a 54.000 minute rally / race! A quick note regarding calculations related to Porsche events, especially driving events. Frankly, it is just bad mojo to gauge these events by the time or money spent for the “x” number of minutes or laps. If we did that, well I imagine our events would be poorly attended. Now, I am compelled to give you an example.

However, Annie reads the Pando and while I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, putting these numbers in print is ill advised.

So what is it; why do we all so passionately toss rational decision making out the window? It is really very simple...the experience. A dear friend of mine owns a Panamera GTS; how can you not FEEL the Porsche when this beautiful machine simply starts and screams to you. Listen to me, I will bring sunshine to your day! The Silver State Challenge for me was all about the experience. The 8 hour+ drive up towing the RSA, stopping along the way at coffee shops, spending time with my good buddy Chuck, and basically living

in the moment. The first day waking up to an inch of snow on the car and trailer was followed later that day by the enthusiastic children of Ely waiting for the semi-annual car parade to collect their share of candy flying from our cars.

The thrill that my navigator (Chuck) and I felt as we crossed the finish line with 54 minutes on our stopwatches (later to find out our jubilance would be tempered by our fourth place finish).

Isn’t it really the experiences in life that makes it all worth it? For me, the excuses made on why I cannot participate are never remembered, instead I choose to get involved as often as possible. PCA Orange Coast Region has so many chances to create memorable experiences. Our calendar and Facebook presence are there to help you understand and sign up for upcoming events. Please leverage these valuable tools at pcaocr.com. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Greg Lush People. Passion. Porsches.

EDITOR’S NOTES being that you know it’ll start when you insert the key….and you know that they hold their value well…..and you know that they are safe enough….but let’s not kid ourselves too much, there are many automobiles out there that deliver those rational things at much lower price. But what don’t they offer?

at the Orange Coast Region 40th Anniversary

T’is gen’rally true that there is much to do in the latter stages as the year ages.

We have Christmas and Hannukah where the stores try to rope ya, into buying more than you can store. But as we look outside we can take some pride in our shiny ride, and hit our stride on the highway side! Ride that Porsche, Why wontcha? Come join us, and we’ll make a fuss as we enjoy your wheels, and take to our heels……..

Well, welcome to the backside of a Porsche year. Your Orange Coast Region has been a busy bunch of drivers, meaning both on the road and the social side of course. We have road tours, and autocross already with many more to come.

Why do we do it?

I know there are so many more “practical” choices out there when it comes to an automobile purchase. However, if you’re reading this magazine it probably means that on at least one occasion you’ve made an emotional decision as regards to a car. Now, there is a rational side to the selection of a Porsche, that

I’ll say in my opinion that we can experience pride in ownership of anything well crafted. Be it a piece of art or a hammer. And we can experience pride of ownership in something that gives us a connection to a sporting heritage and success. So these intangibles cause us to open our wallets and give these gleaming little (or now large) machines a pride of place in our garage and driveway.

Was it always so? Did our ancestors have these opinions about their mode of transportation, providing they had any at all? The answer is yes, and it came to me recently reconsidering Henry V, by Shakespeare, that well known car lover.

But here the “Dauphin” of France talks to his friends about his horse; “I will not change my horse with any that treads but on four pasterns. ha! he bounds from the earth, as if his entrails were hairs; le cheval volant, the Pegasus, chez les narines de feu! When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes”.

It is interesting to note that the “Dauphin” was a car produced by Renault some time ago, but here it means the heir to the throne in France. And he is talking about his horse but it comes close to the way that some of us feel about our vehicles. I suppose we must, having

made the emotional and monetary investment to buy a Porsche in the first place! And, if the Dauphin were alive today I am sure he would purchase an aftermarket exhaust system to be “more musical than the pipes of Hermes”.

And buy them we do!

The “Macan” is a sell out, doing very well on the dealer floors. The 918 is also a sell out, albeit with much smaller numbers. Both mean that your local Porsche dealership is doing quite well, thank you. According to the industry there are 18,000 car dealerships in the U.S. and only 189 of them are selling Porsches. That means you and I have to go out of way to get to one, translate this to mean that it is a very conscious decision to go to the Porsche dealership, and the dealership knows this. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Coming soon to a theater near you

Okay, there is a new Boxster in release, it will be for 2016 and it is a reprise of the successful “Spyder” of a few years back. The Boxster always gets rave reviews on its handling and friendliness to curvy roads. This one will be a more exclusive varietal and with that streamlined cockpit always reminds me of the classic 50’s Spyders that Porsche produced.

Speaking of the classic 50’s Spyders I was lucky enough a few years back to interview a gentleman in our neighborhood who owned one. “Fast Freddy” Fredrickson and I drove over to his shop and we talked and visually toured a 550 RS that he owned. At the time it was merely a “six figure” car, as I recall about $500K in dollars of those

Blue Seal of Excellence RECOGNIZED BUSINESS

Photo Tip of the Month – Framing Story and Photos by Mike Knudsen Many of the photos in Pando come from members, so the Pando folks thought of offering a photo tip as a monthly feature.

Hope you all enjoy.

One difference between an artist and a photographer is the artist only puts in his painting what he wants there.

The photographer has to exclude what he doesn’t want there. When we take a photo, there’s usually something in particular we want the viewer to see.

Everything else is a distraction. So this month’s tip is about eliminating distractions with framing.

Framing is arranging the border of the photograph to include everything you want, and nothing you don’t. The two components of framing are orientation and zoom. This month, we’re just going to talk about orientation. The ideas you’ll see here apply to any kind of camera, but we’ll have some comments later about special issues with cellphone cameras.

Generally, a photo that’s taller than it is wide is in portrait orientation. If it’s wider than tall, landscape. For most cameras, you make the choice by physically rotating the camera 90 degrees, one way or the other. Pretty simple, so let’s talk about why to pick one or the other.

Two reasons to choose one or the other are (a.) what it is and (b.) where it’s going. Look at the two photos to the right of this column. Same car, same lens. But the one labeled “1” has all kinds of stuff in it nobody cares about, and less of what they do. Tree tops, pavement, etc.

All distractions. You wanted a photo of the car, not the oil stained pavement it was sitting on or the trees behind it. So, reframe the shot to fill it with the car, in this case landscape orientation, in the photo labeled “2”, to the right of this column.

1

2 July 2015 PANDO 9

The other reason is usage. Hold the Pando in your hand as if reading it.

What’s the orientation? Cover shots are the holy grail of photography, but editors have enough to do without having to resize and re-orient our work to fit. Even then, they won’t get the image you intended or they like.

So guess what? No cover for you!!

This is where you want to think a little about “getting the shot.” The editor said, “I want that grey 911 for the cover.” How are you going to fill the frame -- in portrait mode -- with a car that’s wider than it is tall?

See the photo to the left of this column.

Same camera, same lens, same car, same location. All that’s changed is where the camera was. The tip here is walk around the subject. Get higher.

Get lower. Find the perspective that fills the frame in the orientation you need. It’s there. You just have to look for it.

10 PANDO July 2015

Cell phone cameras have an important difference – no viewfinder. You look at the image on the LCD. In bright sunlight, that’s almost impossible. So if you think you’ll have to shoot in broad daylight, wear a hat you can use to shade the phone, pick up a shade made for that purpose, or take an umbrella with you.

Next month – zoom. If you have a question, or want something covered here, send it to me at mike@mikeknudsenphotography.com.

Until then…good shooting!

Springtime Mountain-High Rally Story by Das Rallimeister, Photos by Mark Johnson

Coming Home at Silverlake Overlook

Sunday morning, April 19, 2015 dawned clear, sunny and cool. The Rallistas (made-up word: those who rally in Southern California) gathered in San Juan Capistrano at the southeast corner of Ortega Highway and Rancho Viejo Road. The registration went smoothly (thank you, Gloria!) and there was time for those so inclined to walk to the donut shop and purchase some coffee and an energy snack (a buttermilk curl in my case) before the driver’s meeting. At registration, each car was assigned a Car Number. This numbering would later be the basis of the team designations: ODD or EVEN.

At the Driver’s Meeting, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that of the twenty car teams registering, about 30% of these driver-navigator teams were firsttime participants.

The Route

Following the Driver’s Meeting, the first car set out onto the route at about 9:15am, headed easterly on the Ortega Highway/Hwy. 74. The remaining cars were released 30 seconds apart. Their challenge this day was: 1) to follow the routing, 2) to find 15 photo objects and note their location on the route and, 3) to answer eight route questions. As

they departed, I noticed a number of the experienced teams ‘wallpapered’ their dash with the photo pages via EZremove tape (Whatever works is good).

The rally-routing took them up the Ortega Highway, over the mountain to Lake Elsinore and then led them around the west end of the lake and north towards Perris. In this stretch they passed three of the photo objects.

Before reaching Perris the route veered northwest on Theda (misspelled by the Rallimeister as Thedra; !@#$%!) which ended at Ellis in a T-intersection. Here the teams encountered the first series of ODD and EVEN route instructions (their July 2015 PANDO 13

directed to head north on Redlands Blvd. over the hills into Timoteo Canyon and then up Live Oak Canyon into Yukipa.

On this delightful Porsche Road stretch they passed by several more countable objects.

Further into Yukipa they encountered their last ODD/EVEN maze. It divided them and then led them around an elementary school and the challenge was to identify whether it was to their left or right in answer to one of the Route Questions.

Photo Object, Literate symbol

assigned car number dictated whether they were ODD or EVEN). The ODD teams turned left and the EVEN teams turned right. Following several more ODD/EVEN route instructions they were all on San Jacinto Avenue, heading towards each other. At approximately the midpoint between them they were all instructed to turn north on Old Elsinore Road. This bit of bifurcated routing was intended to ‘wake up the teams’ because more was to follow.

About 3 miles up Old Elsinore, the teams encountered another ODD/EVEN maze. This one separated them and ran them around a rural block in opposite directions. Midway through, they all passed a fire station that was one of the objects in the object photos. Their challenge here was that only half of the teams could count the object because, for scoring purposes, unless stated otherwise, only objects on the right of your passage can be counted. So, the EVEN teams could see, but not count the fire station for scoring purposes because it was to their left as they passed it.

Departing this maze the route instructions then took them all passed several ‘countable’ Photo Objects and led them into the Moreno Valley area.

In the north end of this valley, just north of the 60 Freeway, they encountered another ODD/EVEN maze wherein they all passed a distinctive house, one of the Photo Objects, on Hemlock. Again the 14 PANDO July 2015

challenge was that for half of the teams the object was to their left and therefore not ‘countable.’ In this instance the EVEN teams could count the object and the ODD teams could see it, but not count it. An added degree of difficulty they encountered in this maze was the fact the-route following challenge (the navigational element), was more challenging than in the previous two maze encounters.

Exiting the Moreno Valley they were

Photo Object, Past Its Prime

Next, in northern Yukipa the routing led them onto Bryant St. heading westerly.

The next instruction directed them to turn right on Fir Ave. This led them into a delightful neighborhood of largelot rural homes backing up to the base of the mountains. In this neighborhood quite a few of the roads interconnect in 4-way intersections wherein two of the intersecting roads leaving the intersection are unpaved and therefore not usable by our rally rules. This required the rally teams to turn and proceed in the only paved direction available; referred to as a forced turn because the turn is dictated by the route

rules (paved public roads only), not by an instruction. In this particular case the forced routing produced a nice little maze that went on for some distance without requiring additional instruction. (Note: Wandering about without instruction is pretty much always unsettling to the rally teams whether they are beginners or veterans).

Departing this last maze the teams were directed onto Highway 38 and headed up the mountains to Big Bear. In this long mountain climb, the answers to two route questions were encountered and 3 photo objects were passed, two to the right (countable) and one to the left (seeable, but not countable).

Photo Object & Question Clue, ref. elev.

In Big Bear Lake Village, the teams reached the Finish and gathered at the Northwoods Lodge for libation, lunch, scoring and the Medal Presentation.

Gloria and I rejoined them here and together we took over the outside deck to sit in sun under the umbrellas. The lunches were good, but the service was a little bumpy. Because it took the teams significantly longer to arrive than anticipated and because the kitchen was a bit slow, the teams, once arrived, had plenty of time to enjoy the warm sun, to socialize, and to rationalize away their mistakes and/or curse the Rallimeister.

As the Scoring (thank you again, Gloria) proceeded it became obvious we had some pretty good scores and some not so. This rally was a bit long and difficult and it showed.

Our winners were Bronze Medalists, a three way tie: Doug Neil and Vicki Billings Mike and Bonnie LeLesh J.P. and Stacie Garreton Silver Medalist: Mark Johnston and Sean “Young-eyes” Rafferty Gold Medalist: Andrew and Kristi Krenz

In Summary Photo Object, Big Bear as The Greeter

This was a relatively difficult and long gimmick rally driven on a beautiful sunny, not too warm, day from the

coast to the mountains. The only thing really missing was the remnants of a hoped-for bountiful winter snowfall.

This year’s snowfall was not bountiful and the remnants were long gone.

Notwithstanding that, everyone seemed to enjoy the drive and the adventure.

I wish to thank those members who participated and specially note the participation of those members new to our rallying. I believe both the Garreton team and the Krenz team are new to this activity, and they both, obviously, did very well. Congratulations to all the winners! Also, thank you to the Huddlestons for driving up to join the group for lunch.

Following the lunch proceedings, several of the teams headed into town to check out the shopping. A few of the group joined Gloria and I for a leisurely drive down the mountain via Lake Gregory and Hwy. 138-- the back-door out of Crestline--passing Silverwood Lake to connect with the I-15 in the Cajon Pass. This relatively little known route is definitely a Porsche Road for the most part, and arguably more scenic than the other more trafficked routes up and down the mountain.

Thank you, again, to all the participants because it is your participation that makes our club work.

AUTOCROSS CORNER

The Morning Track Walk

A Message from the Autocross Chairman Story by Don Chapman, Photos by Mike Knudsen It is hard to believe that we are almost half way through the 2015 Autocross Season. Time certainly flies when you are having fun.

It has come to our attention that there are some PCA members out there that may be interested in participating in our Autocross events, but have not because they are uncertain about the procedures and qualifications for our Autocross events.

To qualify:

a) You must be a PCA member. b) You must be able to drive (no track or AX experience necessary). c) You must have a car to drive (preferably a Porsche).

Bruce Powers of Autowerks, our Event day Sponsor, showing us some speed on the track

July 2015 PANDO 17

d) Your car must pass a very basic safety inspection. (Safety, “Tech” inspections will be performed the morning of each event, or you can have them done ahead of time, for free, at one of our approved repair shops).

How does that sound? Easy so far, right?

No special equipment is necessary.

We do require a helmet, but we provide free loaners at each event.

To Register:

a) Go to our website pcaocr.com. Click on the “Register” tab. b) Select the next Autocross event, or if you have not yet set up an account on motorsportreg.com please do so at this time. You will need this motorsportreg. com account to register for most of our PCA events (Please make sure to specify that you are with the PCA Orange Coast

Region). c) Click on the next available autocross event. Please follow the instructions carefully and answer all of the questions accurately. You will need your PCA number. If this is your first time or you are still new to Autocross please select Novice as your Car Class.

THAT’S IT. NO Special equipment, NO special experience. In fact, you will be provided with one of our amazing instructors for your first four Autocross events at no additional cost.

No more excuses. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at porschedon@mail.com or my awesome Co-Chairman Chris Barrington at genikz@yahoo.com.

On Sunday May 24th we held our fifth Autocross event of the season. It was

a cool overcast day, perfect Autocross weather. Everyone had a wonderful time. Bruce Powers of Autowerks in Huntington Beach was the sponsor of the day. They provided all participants with delicious Hot Diggitydogs, always a crowd favorite. Thank you Bruce for all you do for our PCA Autocross program.

Our events continue to get better and better thanks to all of our amazing Autocross Team volunteers. I would also like to thank our Series Sponsor Walters Porsche and our support sponsor GMG. We invite everyone to come on down to the El Toro Airfield and join us for the next event. We hope to see you there.

In addition, we were presented the “Best Team Appearance” award! Of course, coming from Orange County with our bright yellow matching team shirts – made with care from Monica – what else would you expect! Makes you wonder if this award was created on the spot solely for Uber RennTeam?!

Now let’s rewind. For those of you that have had the pleasure of following Keith Clark’s Aqua Blue Metallic Carrera S (has anyone ever been in front?), you know that he tends to drive a bit spirited.

So when he starts talking about 90 miles flat out on an open road without a chance of a ticket, well, you listen! Where is this challenge and how do I partake?

Keith has raced the Nevada Open Road Challenge/Silver State Classic Challenge and won the 110 mph class several times. However, with numerous Corvettes, Mustangs, and Camaros, his Porsche was feeling a little lonely. He talked Norm Follis into joining him last fall, but due to sudden torrential bursts of rain they weren’t podium finishers. This 22 PANDO July 2015

time Keith wanted an entire Porsche Team represented at the event.

So Norm and Keith started recruiting! At our first meeting many people wanted to participate, but some couldn’t because of their cars – visible roll bars/roll cages are mandatory, which eliminated all of our factory California cabriolets. Keith succeeded in forming an eight-car team with eight drivers and six navigators. In Nevada, we added one more Porsche to our team for a total of nine Porsches!

What exactly is the Nevada Open Road Challenge/Silver State Classic Challenge? Drivers compete within a specified Target Speed over the 90-mile course. In each speed class, the winners are the drivers, with or without a navigator, who achieve the speed closest to their target speed in classes of 5 mph increments between 95 and 180 mph. Of course there is an unlimited class too!

The current record of average speed on the course is 217.5570 mph (ran in 2012)! All of our Uber RennTeam participated in classes between 95-110 mph. Some were limited by their cars safety features and most were limited by being novices in the race. I am sure some of you are thinking, what’s the big deal? I drive that speed on the freeway!

Not only are you driving for 56:8421 minutes in the 95mph class you are trying to accomplish it precisely at the

correct speed, while not exceeding or going below specific limits. Of course if you prefer to drive in the 180 mph class, you will finish the 90 miles in a mere 30:0000 minutes. The winners of the 150 mph class had a time variance of only 0.0027 of a second averaging 149.998 mph! Very impressive.

Now that your interest has peaked, how do you prepare? Does your car qualify?

Do you qualify? Thanks to Keith and Norm, our team was well prepared with information and helpful hints (i.e., watch the clock and ignore the flag start.

It was rather strange to see the flag drop and cars stay stationary as stopwatches were synced!). Keith prepared very comprehensive spreadsheets for each

speed class including the corresponding distance and mile markers. Pat Brotman became very interested in how Keith maneuvered the course without a navigator after seeing all the numbers.

Pat commented, “Victory is very creative - to her numbers are just swirls and lines.” Not a concern at the race completion since Pat and Victory did very well in the 105 mph class. I forgot to ask Pat if Victory was taking any of her amazing pictures while navigating.

Some people (like me) had a lot more prerequisites prior to race day. Not only did I have to get my Boxster Spyder prequalified with its “weather covering” top and roll bar, I was the only person on our team that didn’t have enough “driving experience” to get the Rookie July 2015 PANDO 23

don’t deserve any candy!” And sure enough, there were kids on both sides of the street. It is very remarkable that the town comes out and supports the event even in the bitter cold and rain.

Steve Borowski enjoying a Sunday drive at 110 MPH...Legally!

School waived. At 6:00 am Thursday morning of race week I was at the Las Vegas Speedway. There were about 26 cars – mostly Vettes and all male drivers except me. I had just finished the cram course of every Zone 8 DE in the last couple of months, so I was confident, but unsure of what to expect! After putting so much effort into getting my car ready, I was extremely paranoid of being DQ’d. I would like to say I perfectly apexed every tight corner, braked and accelerated at just the right moments for the fastest time of the day. But in reality the qualifying was rather simple (perhaps it was all those DEs). We followed the leader for a couple of laps and then had an instructor ride-along for two more laps. Then, bam! We all qualified. Afterwards, we caravanned the 3 ½ hours from Las Vegas to Ely with our Rookie Liaison.

Besides the actual 90-mile Sunday race, the town of Ely goes all out for the event.

They have a welcome reception after the long caravan on Thursday. Friday morning we woke up to a surprise in Ely – all of our cars were covered in SNOW! The high noon shootouts were delayed until Saturday and the snow melted from the now raining skies. It was rather humorous to see so many people cleaning their cars in the rain (I am guilty!). Thanks to Norm’s connections (Carolyn, Norm’s wife, is actually from Ely) we had insider information on where to eat. By the time the evening 24 PANDO July 2015

arrived, the rain had momentarily stopped and we all met at the high school for the parade through town. We all had purchased bags of candy to throw to the kids along the road. We were warned: “Do not throw candy out the driver’s side. Only one lane is closed to traffic. If the kids haven’t figured it out yet, they

Saturday was the local baseball team’s pancake breakfast, final tech, car show and the High Noon Shoot Outs (drag races). Now most of our team’s cars were on the newer side, so not much to worry about passing tech. The tech team is very particular on tires, metal tire caps, helmets, and metal fire extinguisher brackets. After finding out my “painted metal color” tire caps were unacceptable at the qualifying school, I now had real metal caps, so I wasn’t too concerned until they wanted to see my engine!

Yikes! How many of you Boxster and Cayman owners have EVER seen your engine? The tech officials concurred mine was the first mid-mounted engine Porsche entered in this event!

Uber Renn Team executed wonderfully for their first time bringing home five awards total

Since there hadn’t been too many Porsches entered recently, Uber RennTeam really stood out at the car show. It was fun to watch the kids see the front trunk open and ask their parents, “Where is the engine?” They would respond that Porsches have their engines in the back. Then they got to mine! Both trunks were open and no engine. Several kids asked me if my Spyder was electric!

The High Noon Shoot-Outs were exciting. Due to the extreme cold there were lots of spinning tires! One Viper lost its coolant. The winning speeds were 153 mph for the half-mile and 198.3 for the mile shootout. Although not podium finishers, Kudos to Greg Lush/Chuck Bartolon and Steve Eguina/ Michael Eguina for entering.

Lots of race participants honed in on their strategies while driving the road course prior to the actual race.

Unfortunately they had to cruise at the

posted speed, since race participants are disqualified if they get a ticket on Hwy 318. Since Keith is the master of finding notable roads, several of us opted to follow him to lunch. While the other entrants were putting along, we were taking an epic spirited drive. We flew from Ely to Eureka along US 50, aka “The Loneliest Road in America!”

Once we arrived at the Eureka, Norm Follis exited his vehicle with a huge grin on his face while exclaiming, “That was the funnest drive I’ve done in a long, long time... epic.” Of course Carolyn, growing up in Ely, was amazed we covered that distance out and back to Eureka in under two hours. Now John Leflang seems like such a nice person, until this flight to Eureka. With only one passenger seat in his 911S and both his daughter and wife wanting to go, it was no accident that he quickly put Victoria in his car and passes Djun to Keith. Did he forget to mention to Keith that Djun gets car sick! Keith must be a much smoother driver than John, since Djun

made it there and back without an issue.

On a side note, my navigator, Ian, and I decided to do a full dress rehearsal on the way back. I had never used a full face helmet with communicators. You can imagine the surprise on the faces of the cars we passed with gloved hands on the steering wheel and helmets.

Early Sunday race day morning, we embarked at 5:45am to the grid area.

Some chose to meet in town for the huge caravan, while the rest of Uber Renn Team followed the aqua blue Carrera.

What a beautiful day after snow and rain! The cumulus clouds in the sky made a perfect backdrop for stunning Kodak moments! Well, at least until I was directed to park. What gets gridded next to me…a FORD FOCUS! What a photo bomb! How can I possibly tell people I am in a high-speed race with a Ford Focus in my photos! Justifiably, he came in last in my class. The only conciliation was that the 100 mph class contenders, Greg Lush & Chuck July 2015 PANDO 25

Perfect day to go racing

Bartolon, were beat by the rented Toyota Avalon! The Canadian and British driver/navigator mounted their fire extinguisher to the metal head rest posts in their rental! Besides entertaining everyone with their humor and good nature regarding their rental car…they won first place in the 100 mph class with an extremely respectable 0.1579 time variance!

I am happy to say all of our Uber Renn Team finished! And four cars made the podium (did I mention I was one of them!) Congratulations to Norm Follis & Paul Wilkinson (1st in 105 mph), Barbara Barron and Jim Webster (1st in 115 mph), John and Victoria Leflang (3rd in 105 mph), and of course myself and my navigator Ian Hislop (3rd in 95 mph).

One award no one on our team received was the best “sob story” award. I am not sure who was sobbing the most - the entrants who didn’t get to race or the audience from laughing so hard. One 100 mph entrant had been forced to the sidelines a few feet from the starting line with a nail in the tire. The presentation of this award was hysterical, and I think this type of accolade should be added to all PCA events.

There were so many great moments and comradery during the Nevada Open Road Challenge. Greg and Chuck acted like an old married couple. Their banter was hysterical. I begged them to move the go-pro inside the car. Chuck did promise to write the “Diary of a Navigator” after Greg steps down as president! I will be the first on the presale list. Although not podium winners, Greg and Chuck had a great run and were one of the five cars to be included in the team 26 PANDO July 2015

scoring.

Steve Borowski was brave enough to try the 90 miles without a navigator on his first run. (He should have discussed this with Norm, who didn’t place in the novice run, but came in first with Paul Wilkinson’s help!) Since the cars are started a minute apart, Steve’s strategy was to watch a car in front pass a marker and then count to 60 when he flew by the same spot. Hmm perhaps cruise control would be easier?

With one father/daughter team and one father/son team you might wonder whether the son or daughter fared better.

John & Victoria Leflang decided up front that they wouldn’t fight about errors, rather they would work on correcting their time without assigning blame.

Seemed that it worked just fine since they placed third in the 105 class with just a 0.8527 time variance. Now Steve and Michael Eguina had a great theory.

Michael would tell Steve a speed and Steve would concur. But when Michael glanced at the speedometer, Steve was just driving the speed he wanted. We will let Steve slide since the GT2 prefers to purr at speeds in excess of 110 mph.

It all worked out in the end since their score also contributed to the five team scores.

There were many strategies in the event.

Some people “banked” time and others put on their cruise control and drove their speed the entire time except for making up the difference from starting at a complete stop. Others, like Rick on the MSD team had computers on board helping out. My navigator had come to Ely on a different route, so had never been on Hwy 318. We started out at 118 mph (The Spyder’s weather covering

top is only wearable up to 120 mph) and then crawled in the narrows. We had an exciting moment when I went over the center rumble strips and my anti-lock switched on and braked the car! But the most memorable moment of my 90 miles occurred seconds from the finish line. Ian had been giving me count downs at the last few mile markers. We thought we were spot on. His tone had been extremely calm the entire 89.9 miles. He never raised his voice. During the last countdown, he looked up from the stopwatch, saw the finish line and screamed “FLOOR IT!” Which I did – enough to earn 3rd in my 95 mph class but still slightly under the ideal time.

Asked if we were DQ’d (above 124 mph in our class) my navigator looked at my car and said, “Nope the tops still on!”

Someone else asked if I was running “topless.” I hope they were talking about my car!

You had to be there to know how enjoyable this experience was. It’s so exciting to participate (and finish!) and test those shiny pieces of machinery from Germany. We got the adrenaline going. However, the Nevada Open Road Challenge is much more than a race.

Borrowing a familiar phrase, it’s not just the cars it’s the people too! We all met so many wonderful people at the event – from numerous states and countries.

When asked if this is now scratched off our bucket list or if we’re ready to go again, most of Uber Renn Team members are geared up to go on the next one! Although some did so good on their novice run, it will be hard to beat!

Maybe next year we will have two full teams of Porsches! Congrats to all and, yes, it was truly epic!

Sally

Story by Richard Wilbur, Photos by Stephen Schuda As long as I can remember, I’ve had a love affair with cars. As a child standing in the back seat of our family car with my hand on my Dad’s shoulder (Yes, you read that right. Standing.), I’d watch all the cars going by and quickly started to be able to identify the year, make and model by the taillights. As some of you will remember, seat belts were only on race cars at the Indianapolis 500.

Certainly not on our ‘53 Plymouth with a 3-speed on the column. If I got lucky enough to sit in the front seat (shot gun), the only thing that occasionally saved me from sliding off the seat, was my Dad’s right arm coming across my chest at that last moment before he had to hit the brakes. As I recall, he was usually looking at a lady or was it the taillights of the car in front of us? I’m here to tell you I survived. During all of those rides, I became familiar with Pontiacs, Buicks, Edsels, Cadillacs, Oldsmobiles and every once in a while a real funny looking car called Volkswagen. But it was the taillights that I saw most of

the time. Cadillacs had the biggest and tallest.

I started working at Disneyland in my very early teens as a balloon seller. When I turned 18, I went into ride operations and started to make the “big money.” I earned enough to buy my first car, a new red 1969 Datsun 510, 2 door. It was my pride and joy. I put a glass pack on it and had the exhaust dump out right under the driver’s door so I could hear those 4 cylinders hum. Of course, I strapped a huge Sun Super Tach on the steering column to watch those revs climb. Didn’t have a clue what I was doing, but I felt so cool. No stereo, roll up windows, AM radio. I drove that Datsun until I bought my 1972 Blue-ish Green Triumph TR6, new as well. What a thrill. The top only went up when it rained. Otherwise top down, wind in the hair…you know the rest of the line.

Of course there have been several cars since those years, even a station wagon

among them to haul our children and their friends to Chuckie Cheese for a birthday or two. Good thing that culinary eatery served beer in pitchers. But no car ever been as exciting as the 2011 911S that I’m now the proud owner of.

As an avid reader of just about every car magazine that’s been produced since the 90s, I noticed that manufacturers have always used the 911S as a bench mark to compare their newest sports car to.

So, I knew that someday I would have one. What an honor it is for me, each time I sit in the car, look at the crest on the steering wheel, start the car and hear all 4 exhaust pipes sing. Truth be told, the car does have a fantastic sound system, which I’ve listened to for maybe 5 minutes. The real music for me is windows down and cruising at about 3500 to 4000 rpms. The driving sensation is nothing like I have ever experienced in any other car. Even the Datsun 510 can’t match the feeling.

You see, until I got the keys from the July 2015 PANDO 29

Parking Lot Shot

transport driver that brought the Porsche to me from Missouri, I had never even sat in a 911. So, it was on February 1, 2014 when I started “Sally” for the first time that I realized all the articles were spot on. The car fit like a glove, smelled like a new leather jacket and accelerated like a bat out of hell. And that exhaust note was better than any multi-speaker sound system could ever produce.

A very dear friend of mine, Stephen Schuda, who happens to be a photographer and with whom I’ve surfed forever, asked if he could take some pictures of the car in Live Oak Canyon, here in South County, close to where I live. Being a California native from day one, the California Live Oaks seemed to be the perfect backdrop, along with the roadside American Flag, for our day in the sun.

the cover of this issue from Trabuco Canyon. The air and sky were both crystal clear that morning, the road was empty. Stephen was able to capture the essence of what I see and feel, every time I have the honor of climbing in the car.

I’d like to thank all of the members at our local OCR club that have embraced and taught me so much about Porsches.

I’m like a kid in a candy store and love

to listen to all the wisdom that pours out at each month’s breakfast.

As for the name “Sally,” my next door neighbor’s son, who is 5 years old, named our car that on the first day he saw it, from the Porsche character in the Cars animated movie. I wonder if he looks at taillights from the back seat of his dad’s car?

RICE’S

Ramblings

Story by Lee Rice A Little Ramble

The more I see the craze for driverless cars including Porsche, the more puzzled I am. Isn’t a Porsche a driver’s car-or is that BMW? Just seeing a new Porsche driven into the side of a well known L.A. building and hearing the “news at eleven” folks saying the driver “… got the pedals mixed up.” I gotta wonder what is going on.

I know, I know, I am one of those old gray hair 911 drivers. I came from the time when Porsches were driven for the fun of it or the love of it. It was always different driving a Porsche whether a 356, 914, 924, 944 or 928, but always the iconic 911s. A 911 was always interesting, always a bit challenging, always ‘fun’ to drive exactly the way you wanted it to be driven. It is one of those things in life that never gets old.

We took our Porsche to the track mostly to learn how these magnificently built cars worked, even in extreme conditions. We learned how to extract all of its power, cornering, stability, and braking; all of this is done under the encouragement of our instructors-- real Porsche race car drivers.

At these driver training days you either took a few laps and (regrettably) went home and watched TV, or you got into it and you experienced the secrets of accident avoidance and being safe; and also finding the smo-o-o-othest way around the twists and turns; and most of 34 PANDO July 2015

all, discovering that the smoothest way was actually the quickest way around the track.

But the track also gave us the wisdom of Professor Porsche’s proven safety in a rear engine car’s power being directly applied upon the driven rear wheels.

That is what makes the 911 a tiger! A 911 tamed in your hands is something you discover that you use every day and you never forget how to use it. I know those lessons and experiences saved my life on several unexpected occasions; not on the track but on normal streets and freeways, driving my 911 and in our family Caravan. You do not forget those skills and lessons.

So the more I see, hear, and read about automated driving, I can only hope Porsche or some other make will start advertising that their cars are built for real driving.

P.S. in the new Car & Driver there is a great ad for a brand-x (ok MX-5) that caught my eye, as its verbiage was the kind Porsche used to write about their cars.

better in almost every way and certainly 100% safer, faster, easier to drive, and technically more easy to determine its ills before they become problems. All that is great!

But the old ones: I understand them and still love their ways and some of their mysteries.

However, I wish Porsche would make at least one model of the 911, 911 Turbo, Boxster, and a Cayman as a stripped down RS. I mean a real RS, not just the band aid decaled version with a noisy computer muffler; but a serious lightweight, simple, unassisted car for performance driving. And my reasoning is this way because more and more governing authorities are mandating all the new electronic gadgets the manufacturers have come up with for driving aids. Now they are required!

So now there is hardly a manual car...a driver’s car made anymore.

I guess I am slow to realize that Porsche is just another giant car manufacturing company making cars that make money, and that Porsche needed that decades ago –when they raced and won Le Mans – back when they put everything into racing, not just did a PR job laminating on past historical victories.

At least the GT3 has a manual transaxle again. Sure it is a bit slower than the automatic; but no matter what you call it, if you have only two pedals, it is an automatic (old mans car) or we used to call those cars “your Mom’s car.” It wasn’t so much an insult, but when you see a big engine, high performance car with a manual transmission, you know the guy had to be a good driver to even get it to where it was and park it! But now on the other side of all this is the big push is on for automated driverless cars!

I forget that Porsche makes other things besides 911s and the new Porsches are

I ask this: how many buildings and homes have ever been violated by

a driver in a manual transmission car? Maybe we need a new bumper sticker: Save my Home & Family from automated driving! OK I’ve said my peace for the month, what are your opinions or thoughts? We welcome your response…We want to know what YOU, the Porsche membership, think.

Ask the Mechanic

Q A

I am changing my spark plugs on my 1983 911 SC and, should I use lubricant on the spark plug threads?

Answer: YES! NO!

According to the 1970 Werk Shop Manual IGN 9/ 9.2–1/1 1973-1974, it states: “coat spark plug threads with a molybdem paste (such as Molykote HTP) white or similar before installing.” Torque to 2.5 mkp (24.5-29.4 Nm) .

So there you have it... or do you?

Then again: According to the 19901994, 964 911 C4/2, Werk Shop Manual -3.6 Service/ Spark Plug Change (@ 12,000 miles) 03-11. *Note-1: “..DO NOT USE ANY LUBRICANT ON THREADS….” Got that? So what is the deal? The way I heard it when I was evaluating free spark plugs for a new RSR motor, I got some good information form Bosch, Beru, Champion, AC, and NGK. I remember that Beru said they had a dry lubricant film on their spark plug threads and not to put ANYTHING ON THEM! Especially the later UFX 56 which is a 4-ground electrode 5-6 heat rang. A Great plug BTW! Bosch says nothing, but implies you do not need anything. To better understand I go back and recall we used to change plugs so often before the 1969 CDI Ignition came out that we never had plugs stay in the engine much over 5,000 miles anyway. And I never had one stick in a cylinder head. The CDI (Capacitance Discharge Ignition) that came out in ‘69 greatly improved

reliability and spark plug service life.

Later the MP (Magnetic Pulse) replaced mechanical ignition points on the 1976 Turbo Carrera, and later, starting on the 1978- 911 SC. Then ignition became very reliable and plugs would last a long, long time. Every once in awhile one spark plug became almost impossible to remove.

Like today some (lazy) mechanics do not change the number 6 top spark plug on 964 & 993 engines! Yes it is difficult to get to, especially without the right tools, but removing the side sheet metal panel makes is simple! Anyway, those plugs can seize in the aluminum threads after an overdue change, just as some did back in the 1970s!

The reason for stating not to use lubricant is that when you do, some plugs installed and torqued correctly, will loosen and back out if any lubricant is used on them. We’ve had it happen.

And the other extreme is over lubricating to where if even a tiny bit of ‘moly’ lubricant gets on the electrode, that will

cause odd misfiring.

So, I would consider using only a light swipe of ‘moly’ type lubricant on the threads and wipe it off with a paper towel, leaving only a tiny amount deep in the spark plug threads.

It’s all in the Details Story by Scott Fleener, Photos by Scott McDonald

It was a very pleasant morning on Sunday, May 17th, 2015, that I attended the Concours Prep & Tech Session given

by Cooper Boggs of Cooper’s Classy Car Care.

I was there, along with 20 other enthusiasts, to learn how to clean and prepare our cars for any Concours events we may enter.

Cooper and his wife, Nicole, were the perfect hosts. We began with a light breakfast later followed by a superb, made from scratch, lasagna lunch for the group. They even allowed me the opportunity to learn the fine art of juicing oranges!

After breakfast, we settled in and Cooper began to explain, in detail (no pun intended), that it is attention to those small details that is critical for any Concours event.

He was able to cover all aspects of the requirements for car shows starting from the basic Wash & Shine, Street, and

Ubergang, to Full Concours. Cooper emphasized that for our Regional Concours events, the cars are judged on cleanliness not originality.

He went on to tell us how to clean and prepare the cars, along with the type of products to use to make them sparkle.

If you have a light tan or white interior, Mr. Clean Erasers and Griot’s Garage Interior Cleaner can do wonders for scuffs and grime!

Later, we covered the judging areas of the cars along with the scoring and their point value.

(TIP, PCA Judging/Scoring sheets can be found under the Concours tab at www.Zone8.org) Cooper emphasized the need to take a break now and then, and step back to evaluate your work. With a little break, you may notice you’ve missed something that you did not see before. Expect to spend 16 to 20 hours preparing your Porsche for Wash & Shine competition.

To say the least, I felt I came away with a tremendous amount of knowhow about preparing a car for any future Concours event. Those in attendance who have been to the presentations before said that they learn something new every time.

I am so glad I made the effort to attend.

As Cooper stated, it is important to pay attention to the details and don’t forget the obvious!

I personally would recommend the opportunity to attend any future sessions for anyone who wants to keep their fine auto looking its BEST. I was able to use this knowledge to prepare my car for the Huntington Beach Concours held June 7, 2015. I entered my car in the Wash and Shine category.

I guess I did something right as I placed First!

My deepest thanks to Cooper and Nicole Boggs for sharing their home and knowledge with us.

Book Review Porsche Moments Story by Bruce Herrington

by Jesse Alexander, published by David Bull Publishing, Phoenix, Arizona Jesse Alexander is arguably the best motor racing photographer of the 50s and 60s, which is the period that this reviewer considers to be The Golden Age of motor racing. Porsche Moments contains some 100 pages of pictures depicting the efforts of people involved with Porsche, and Porsches, to achieve motor racing success.

Mr. Alexander has spent a lifetime in photography, the largest part of it devoted to documenting motorsports; an involvement that began in the early 1950s with the birth of the sports car movement in the USA. His first sports car was an MGTD, followed by a Morgan Plus Four and then a Sunbeam Talbot.

He first photographed races at Pebble Beach and Palm Springs (venues that are no longer with us), and also the late lamented Santa Barbara Airport course, where he fell in love with Porsches.

put a race car in the winner’s circle.”

Jesse’s unique ability to capture the feeling of motorsports, in picture after picture, makes this book more than worth it’s $75 price tag.

Porsche Moments covers Porsche’s early racing history in Europe and Mexico, from 1953-62. It is a big book, 11x13 inches; big enough so that the full-page photographs therein are salon-sized, suitable for framing. But rather than cutting up such an outstanding book, individual prints can be ordered directly from the author.

Organized by venue, rather than chronologically, the character of these early motorsports events comes through clearly. The people in the pictures seem to be causal, friendly sportsmen focused on the fun of the events, not businessmen focused on the dollars, or what the lawyers would do if given half a chance.

As Dan Gurney’s introduction says, “You can almost feel the camaraderie among the competitors.” Virtually all the pictures show people doing things.

Though the pictures are somewhat ‘snap shot’ in some ways, the composition and the actions of the people in them give the viewer a ‘you are there’ feeling, lacking

Dan Gurney’s foreword touches on their shared personal developments, Dan as a driver and Jesse as a photographer.

As Dan says, “Jesse Alexander’s photographs beautifully capture the passion and hard work required then to

Because Jesse Alexander’s photos are so great, some of them will be familiar as ‘Classics.’ But, since the entire book is from Mr. Alexander’s personal files, the vast majority are newly available pictures, in the same character as the classics.

in the typical vacation album picture.

Although the emphasis is on the pictures, captions are provided so that the reader can fully appreciate what is going on. But, typically, Jesse Alexander’s pictures are largely self-explanatory.

The cover, showing a pensive, focused Graham Hill sitting in an RS-60, is a really great picture, even when you don’t know that he’s waiting for the first practice of the 1960 Targa Florio, and that Hans Herman, in the RS-60 behind, would win the race.

Porsche Moments is available through Motorbooks International http://search. motorbooks.com/ or through major booksellers.

EDITOR’S MESSAGE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 days. I do remember asking him why he risked the driving of it in Historic races and his reply; “this was built to race, it honors those who built them, and drove them to keep it in its’ natural habitat, rather than as a static display piece”…. or words nearly so. Nowadays the same car is a “seven figure” car and one can still see them racing around. So, the Spyder legacy continues.

Complimentary

Last month I complimented Robert Weber on his many years of service to the club with our Classified Advertising.

Robert emailed me to say that his service began with personal mentorship by George McClellan. George was a past force in our club and his intervention and help with Robert helped to create an interest and a chance to serve us for many years thereafter. So, remember George and step in to help someone or suggest a service to the club they might enjoy, and you too may have a legacy

like he has. Still remembered after many years.

quickly. A win there and we as owners will get more of that “passion” that we are buying in the streetcars.

Do you Remember?

Porsche in racing part II

Speaking of George, we the Board of OCR met for many years in the garage of the McClellan house in Huntington Beach. If this sounds like a hardship it definitely was not, as the garage even then was a step back in time with much in the way of Porsche paraphernalia on the walls and shelves. George himself visited us right to the end, always interested, always curious.

Porsche in racing

By the time you read this LeMans will be complete and we will know whether Porsches new generation LMP1 car has found success. It is already a winner and a contender based upon 2014 results but of course LeMans is the capstone, and no one covets another victory there like Porsche, still the winningest marque at LeMans, with Audi catching up rather

It is not a well known fact that Porsche does indeed have a Formula 1 resume.

McLaren hired Porsche to produce a Formula 1 engine for them in the early 80’s. Which they did, it was a winner after some teething, which much involved melting brakes from trying to slow the thing down for corners. Nicki Lauda said; “the thing just keeps on pushing and pushing”……so if anyone asks you about Porsche racing there is a storied history there.

Gone too far?

Okay, this was going to be one of my shorter columns but look what’s happened! I know our Kristen will have fits trying to fit this in, pun intended. But there is much to say to our readership.

Enjoy your Porsche and I hope to see you soon.
