PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Greg Lush

Round and Round A couple of months ago, our recently appointed OCR Art Director Denny Asbury, had an idea of a Pando cover with all wheels. Intrigued by the artistic notion of this cover, I volunteered to participate by way of providing the images. Many thanks to Denny for his vision and Ed McRae for allowing me to crawl all over the Walter’s showroom floor taking pictures of new Porsches.

My passion for cars started early on and was directly passed to me by my father.

I recall we always had the best looking vehicles, sports cars, sedans, trucks, SUVs (no station wagons or mini vans); what differentiated these relatively stock autos was their wheels and tires.

Come on, you have to admit that the wheels are very important and one of the best investments you can make to really have a unique ride. A good friend of mine has a Panamera GTS,

now all on its own it is a great looking car. However, after he placed a custom set of wheels on the car it took on an entirely different personality. When I purchased my first Porsche in 2007 (the Lapis Blue 997s Cab) one of the things that attracted Annie and I to that car was the color-matched S wheels.

Think about your car, right now. Is it clean, dusty, outright dirty? Now, think about the wheels. For me, even if the car is a little dirty, I can clean the wheels and feel a whole lot better.

Looking for an invention idea for car enthusiasts?

Make a set of brake pads that do not make your wheels look crappy after the

first few stop lights. You could use my method, try driving without using the brakes, they are very over-rated.

We hope that you enjoy this collection of Porsche wheels, some courtesy of Walter’s Porsche and some courtesy of many of you (your royalty checks are in the mail). If you have any ideas on a creative cover that you would like to see please send your thoughts directly to me at greglush@outlook.com.

EDITOR’S NOTES

Garey Cooper

Lack of proper training can lead to unwanted results

October

While goblins and ghosts may disturb their hosts on that night called “Halloween”, our shiny Porsche’s have a sheen; which may be seen as a way we careen for our own thrills to new roads yet to be seen.

Be a Pro

I really want to mention the articles that we’ve been lucky to receive from Mike Knudsen. As a nation we are picture takers, particularly since the smart phone put that technology literally at our fingertips. But, have we gotten any better at it? I for one am really glad to get the tips from such a good photographer. So read and learn.

T’is Folly To Resist

Mrs. Cooper and I have gone from a relatively unplanned fall to one that is loaded with travel and some wonderful trips. First off, I have volunteered to help Salomon Braun with his Las Vegas Concours this month (September).

Vegas, baby, and with the Brauns; Salomon and Jackie at that.

We are also returning to Europe and the Trewartha’s “Autobahn Adventures” to drive Audi R8’s from Munich down through Switzerland to Northern Italy.

This will mark our third trip with Autobahn, and actually a fourth that we

took with another company way back in the year 2000. I’ve ridden in an R8 but never actually driven one, so obviously I am looking forward to the opportunity of doing so. This is the main car type trip we are doing and with this company it is always top notch.

a Cooper was a great idea. However, Skeeter leaves soon to go wherever cars go when they go off lease. I guess the same place coat hangers, and old iPads, or sunglasses go? But we can’t exist on only 6 wheels so we need to find another ride.

And, but wait there’s more… we will also be going to Baja California, Hawaii, and the scene where it all began more than 30 years ago, Manhattan. I have to be careful of giving the exact timing of when it all began because if Mrs. Cooper finds I’ve been straying too close to giving away age, heads will roll. My own as a matter of fact. Also as a matter of fact, this will be our second trip to the Big Apple in 2015. So there is some kind of draw there I suppose.

Since BESS can do everything from double dating to hauling lumber we don’t need another large vehicle, it will be a sports car. And since for better or worse I am otherwise married to Stuttgart and Porsche it seems likely ’twill be some variety of 911. New or used it is as of yet undecided.

I met the Mrs. in December 1981 while I was sitting on a park bench in New York City, Central Park. This was a chance meeting that changed both of our lives, and here we are today. So, for all of you single people out there be aware that romance often finds you, instead of the other way round.

So, What’s Next?

At this exact moment in time we are down to a total of 10 wheels. Now do the math, this means two “cars” and one motorcycle. The motorcycle is a 2014 MV Agusta “Brutale” 800. More about the Brutale in a moment, for now let’s concentrate on cars.

My late lamented GT3 “Blanche Bickerson” is in good hands with Michael Eguina. This leaves us with “BESS” (short for Big Expensive Sedan) our 2012 Panamera, and “Skeeter”, our 2012 Mini-Cooper S. I always thought that the Coopers driving

I would Love another GT3, like a 2014 model, but that isn’t likely given that this one will be doing some more mundane duty as well as bending itself around local apexes. Mrs. Cooper didn’t like when I scrambled the eggs before they ever got to the frying pan when driving home from the market in Bess. Given this, it may be time for us to consider a Cabriolet. We used to say “convertible” but the darn things got so expensive that we had to upgrade to cabriolet. It somehow makes you feel better about spending that much money I believe.

The current 991 Cabriolet is a beauty and one of the rare convertibles (there’s that cheesy word again, forgive me!) that looks quite good with the top up, as well as down. Also modern engineering has stiffened the chassis so that there is little to choose between the two types on a challenging bit of road. I can remember seeing the cowl shutter on earlier cabriolets/convertibles on the start line of time challenges and autocrosses as the chassis literally flexed without the stiffening roof line.

Book Review KLEMANTASKI Master

Motorsports Photographer Story by Bruce Herrington

By Paul Parker, Published in 2015 by Motorbooks, Minneapolis, MN. This book consists of a collection of photographs by Louis Klemantaski, described on the jacket as chronicling the ‘Golden Age’ of motor racing. There are a variety of Golden Ages defined by various sources with overlapping and exclusive characteristics. Klemantaski’s ‘golden age’ spans from the late 1930s to the late 1960s. The pictures show Sports Cars, Grand Prix and Formula 1 at a variety of European racing venues, but America drivers such as Briggs Cunningham, Richie Ginther, Phil Hill, Maston Gregory, etc. are shown.

Note that these dates encompass the ‘black and white era of motorsports photography which may or may not contribute to Klemantaski’s reputation as a master at conveying the feel of motor racing events. Another factor in the effectiveness of this book in conveying the atmosphere of the ‘motor-sports’ era of racing is ‘Klem’s’ predilection for using drivers-eyelevel viewpoints rather than a spectator’s downward-looking viewpoint.

Coverage begins in 1935 with black & white photos illustrating what now appear to be ‘primitive’ venues.

Throughout the book, the photographs have an un-posed, you-are-there quality.

They clearly illustrate the rudimentary nature of mostly adapted (not purposebuilt) racing venues in the days when motor racing was a sport, not a business – an era during which the drivers sat on the cars more than in them, and single-seat drivers often drove with their elbows outside the bodywork.

This book follows the European practice of giving birth and death dates

at the initial mentioning of any named individual.

The often snapshot looking photos in KLEMANTASKI are presented in chronological order, interspersed with more extensive, but still concise, profiles of cars and drivers. The snapshot quality of the pictures is part of Klementaski’s unique ability to capture the spirit of motor racing.

The photographs present a long lost era when the drivers were ‘all arms and elbows’, and spectators could see the grimaces on drivers’ faces as they struggled for control through the corners. Extensive captions written by the author give one a full understanding of what they are seeing.

It is a book with many touches of quality - in addition to the heavyweight glossy pages, the end papers show different images, and the dust jacket has folded edges, much less prone to tearing than the cut edges of the dust jackets of lesser books. Large sized at 12 x 9-3/4 inches, it is definitely a book worth showing off on your coffee table or credenza.

KLEMANTASKI is something of a time machine. Old timers who are familiar with the names of drivers,

team managers, and car owners such as Nina Farina, Frolian Gonzales, and Rob Walker etc., will be taken back to the days of their youth. The ‘younger generation’, to whom many of the allusions will be ‘Greek’, will be given a taste of what motor racing was like before the modern motor business era.

In either case, the anecdotes presented by the author are well written and are interesting in their own right, even without having memories to be brought back by the text. Every motorsports enthusiast should have a copy of this book. Some to reminisce, others to gain appreciation for the time when worldclass racing was more informal than even PCA Club Racing is today.

Color photos appear as early as ‘56, but black and white dominates until the book’s final year of ‘67 a year when race winning drivers still cherished their Jeroboam of Champagne, rather than wasting it like foolish children.

KLEMANTASKI Master Motorsports Photographer is an elegant hardcover book of 272, 12x9-3/4 inch pages with 302 black and white pictures and 55 in color. It should be available for $75 from your favorite bookseller (ask for it), or fromhttp://www.motorbooks. com.

Bob Savic 1943-2015 Story by Garey Cooper

Tom & Sue Calvert

Sue and I have enjoyed the Savic’s Wine Tours since before cell phone days, when Temecula was our Winosapien’s destination. In those days Saturday lunch was provided by Judy who brought everything up with Bob in the 356. She produced an amazing spread that pleased all palates. Over the years, as the event grew, Bob asked me to be the caboose for the wine train, be the last to leave each winery making sure everyone in our group left. My favorite memory is the time that Mrs. Cooper (Maxine) was a bit late getting to Garey’s car. The train had left the station as we headed out to find them.

We meandered thru the groves and eventually hooked up with the group again. After that I always made sure to ask Bob the name of the next winery before he took off!

Linda & Norm Hollinger

Bob Savic

We recently lost one of our true Orange Coast Region Characters, Mr. Bob Savic. I use the capital “C” in Character by choice. As he was one of life’s large characters; large smile, large personality, and large group of friends. Bob for many years conducted our wine tasting tour, sometimes to Santa Barbara and sometimes to Paso Robles. Always fun, and full of life. What follows is what I wrote of Bob immediately after hearing of his passing.

of wine tours that he lead in Santa Barbara and Paso Robles. Bob was one of life’s “characters” and left many smiles and many miles behind. Not a bad legacy. My favorite “Bob” moment is of course the “Bear Joke” rendered each year at the final dinner of our wine tour. This joke is completely incorrect, inappropriate, and if it comes to it; not fit to share with a large crowd. Which is what Bob did year after year. Godspeed Bob, we’ll see you speeding through the sky in that little red 356!

Bob Savic recently passed away. Many of you will know him from the years

I’ve also received some comments about Bob from other club members:

Our favorite “Bob” story involves his many tours to Santa Ynez & Paso Robles wine areas. Bob’s “U-turns” were legendary! It was a very rare tour that did not include at least one unanticipated “Savic U-turn” each day, as Bob, once again, missed a turn onto a twisty back road. Since Norm & Linda were typically the “caboose” reigning in the stragglers, it was always fun to watch the parade of at least 20 Porsches stop at the side of a road and then try to turn around with little, if any, shoulders.

We will continue to remember Bob’s smile as he tried to explain that this was just part of his planned route.

Alan & Gail Hall

Alan Hall went on his first wine tour with Bob in 2009 with a then newer 911 4S. Stated “This has to be one of the best weekends of my life.” There was the fast driving of 40 cars of all colors creating a rainbow on the highway. Then there was that sense October 2015 PANDO 11

of belonging to a pack of speed fiends that knew what they were doing and also prioritized safety. But the best part was how Bob & Judy thought of every detail and entertained 80 people the entire weekend with their hospitality, humor and experience of all the previous runs. More special than all of that was how they went out of their way to spend quality time with each party individually. God Bless Bob & Judy and they will be in our hearts forever.

Mike & Georgia Springer

Most importantly to us, Bob was a very good friend and we can remember many, many fun times with him. I think Bob and Judy learned to be a great tour leaders from the late, great George McClelland, and they learned well!

There are a few things that you could always count on if you were on one of Bob and Judy’s tours or just hanging with them at any OCR event. There were always challenging Porsche style roads, good communications, plenty of breaks, great wine selection, always a challenge to keep up with that little red car, and a hell of a lot of fun! Bob never had a cross word about anyone and his only facial expression was a big smile!

When I talked to Bob a while back and mentioned that our daughter was applying for college in San Luis

Obispo, he immediately suggested that they would love to have Cynthia stay with them to save us the expense of housing! That’s the kind of guy Bob was! We will miss him! Godspeed Bob

Paul Kramer

Many years ago, I was driving behind Bob Savic on the way to Santa Paula airport with our OCR chapter. He was flinging his little red 356 around the mountain roads, vintage luggage and all. I could see the blonde hair of his wife whipping back and forth inside.

When we stopped, he got out and had a broad smile across his face. He was beaming and so proud of how great his little car did. I told him it was the man behind the wheel, but he refused the compliment and put it back on his Porsche. He will be missed greatly.

Scott & Peggy Huddleston

“Bob was one of a kind, larger than life Serb, who lived life to the fullest. We thoroughly enjoyed his wine tours, as he made them memorable for all of us.

Anytime we go through Paso Robles, we will think of him, and also pass along our prayers to Judy for her loss.”

Tom & Jean Humphrey

On our first Porsche Wine Tour we learned what it was like to truly enjoy the experience of driving our Porsche with other Porsche owners. The enduring and endearing memory we have of Bob is Bob as “The Sheriff”, complete with chaps, boots, hat and badge. He embodied a zest for life that inspired us to follow his lead. We cherish the time and times we had together. God Speed Dear Friend!

Theo & Doug Russell

We have many fond memories of Bob. Here are a few: Wine trips: People we met , the winding roads, variety of wineries, BBQ lunches especially Opolo, and cave dinners & Bear joke.

Bob lived life to the fullest and was always a joy to be with. His quick wit and sense of humor always brightened our day. We will miss him.

(15 plus wine trips with Bob)

Final Note

Judy Savic is conducting a wine tour in Bob’s honor. This will have occurred by the time you receive this issue.

Bob ashes are currently in the glove compartment of the little red 1959 356 with a plaque stating “Best in Show”…. he may not be exactly “resting in peace”.

Bob as host at a wine cave dinner during one of his wine tours. The gentleman with him is Scott Huddleston.

Photo tip of the Month

Sharpness Part II

Story and Photos by Mike Knudsen We take pictures to preserve a moment in time so it can be viewed in the future just as it looked when it happened.

Camera designers make the cameras do as close to what the eye does as possible. Hence, autofocus. After all, your eyes have autofocus, don’t they?

So, as we talked about last month, if you use your auto focus right, you can pretty much count on getting sharp subjects in your photos.

Blur in a picture

Blur occurs when the camera or the subject moves while the shutter is open.

Pretty simple. We’ve all seen it. The little dickens moved while you were taking her picture. Or your hands aren’t brain surgeon steady like they used to be. In any case, you didn’t get the shot.

Preventing it is easy. Put the camera on a tripod and/or crank up the shutter speed. Many cameras today can reach up to 1/8000th of a second, which is more than fast enough to freeze just about anything. Usually, a few hundredths will do it. But….

Blur is special – sometimes that’s how it really looked

Blur is a very special phenomenon, because although our eyes always get things in focus, they actually do blur things sometimes, due to a characteristic called visual persistence.

Persistence is why (film) movies always

look smooth even though their frame rate is only 24 fps. (Email me for the reason they run at that speed.) So, if we want the picture to look right, we have to capture blur when our eyes would have, and eliminate it when they wouldn’t, sometimes both in the same photo. Look at the two photos above.

Which looks more like an airplane in flight (hint: look at the props)?

Capturing the sense of motion

Next time you’re walking near a road, look at the cars passing by. Everything about the moving cars is sharp, except the wheels….right? Your eyes focus perfectly, but their persistence blurs the spinning wheels. The blurring of the wheels and background creates a sense of motion. Now look at a parked car.

October 2015 PANDO 15

No blur in the wheels. Your brain says, “that car’s parked”. The rest of the car is sharp just like it was when it was moving, but those wheels tell you it’s not. Take a look above. I shot these at an AutoX event at El Toro. Which one looks more like a moving car? They were going about the same speed when I shot them.

How to shoot it

Getting shots like this depend on a technique called panning. You move the camera with the moving car, tracking it just as you would with your eyes. If you do it just right, there will be no relative motion in your viewfinder while the

16 PANDO October 2015

shutter is open. This will prevent the car from blurring. The wheels, however, will be spinning, and, if the shutter is open long enough, the spokes disappear, and all you see is rotors and calipers, just like it looked live. What shutter speed? My rule of thumb is the reciprocal of the car’s speed. So, if it’s going 60mph, then shoot no faster than 1/60th of a second.

Cell phone shooters, I’m not aware of any cell phone cameras that lets you control shutter speed, but they’ll surely come. Until then, a traditional camera set to “shutter preferred” mode is what you’ll need.

Panning takes practice. And, even when you start to get the hang of it, you’ll be lucky to get a batting average anywhere close to Miguel Cabrera’s. But, the Pando editor doesn’t care how many shots you took to get a good one, so fire away, and send in your best!

So, there you have it. Always get it in focus, but be sure to capture blur that your eyes did. Next month…lighting – why size really does matter.

Good shooting!

AUTOCROSS CORNER

Karen Guthorn – Registration

SPEEDING SAFELY

Story by Kyle Largent, Photos by Mike Knudsen Pop quiz: •

•

•

•

Is driving an individual experience or one that is truly to be shared with others?

When you ride as a passenger in a Porsche, do you have the same sense of enjoyment as when you drive a Porsche?

Do you have the same type of enjoyment driving your Porsche on Culver or Jamboree or the 55 / 57 / 405 (excluding accelerating on the on ramps) as driving on 76 or PCH north of San Luis Obispo?

Are you willing to pay the price of a nice lunch for 2 or an ok lunch for 4 for the opportunity to play with your Porsche in a controlled environment?

For years the Autocross Corner has encouraged the readers to come out and experience your Porsche in a 18 PANDO October 2015

safe, controlled and generally riskfree environment. Many articles have reported 100+ Porsche loving people meeting and having an excellent time.

It is an opportunity to drive your car in a way that isn’t possible on surface streets without the risk of property damage, roadside discussions with people in uniforms or notices from your insurance company that you are no longer in good hands.

A big part of why autocross is fun is because it is safe. Autocross is safe for you and safe for your car because people such as Kevin and Christian Van Fleet, Bruce Powers plus an assortment of volunteers, tech everyone’s cars.

Making sure your car is safe to drive.

In the 7 seasons, nearly 60 events – that’s about 72,000 laps, which I have been participating; with no accidents or injuries. An accident is defined as

someone or some car being injured or damaged. Facial muscles hurting from uncontrolled smiling for prolonged periods of time or the temporary rapid heartbeat, which results when sliding your car don’t qualify as an injury.

While people are getting their cars through tech and registration, there is a team of people led by Don Chapman, Chris Barrington, Chuck Barton, Dwight Moore and several others are setting up the track. Some courses are faster than others and typically have some technical turns – AND NO CURBS. The courses are never boring or repetitious. It is fantastic that we drive to the same location most months, yet experience a different track to test our skills each time. Our proximity to El Toro should not be taken for granted.

El Toro is unique to PCA and SCCA autocrosses nationwide!

Now we come to the track walk. Here is an excellent opportunity to meet and get to know the people who participate in autocross. Track walks are typically led by Steve “be aggressive” Abbott. The walks are informative and frequently entertaining, thanks to Steve. Watching Steve pilot his blue Corvette around the autocross course is something to witness. Steve Abbott and Michael Oest demonstrate some spectacular driving, which keeps things interesting throughout the day.

This level of spectacular fun is possible because we have a fantastic series sponsor in Walters Porsche and a variety of event sponsors.

The usual suspects lending a hand with tech inspection

To those of you who read Autocross Corner but have yet to participate; here is an easy and inexpensive way to enjoy your Porsche, participate in autocross.

Autocross enables you to enjoy your car and improve your driving skills in a safe and controlled environment. If that isn’t sufficient motivation to try autocross, we have some of the best people you could ever want to meet.

Why drive a Porsche?

Story and Photos by Dennis and Carol Howey One word, exhilaration! Ok, two words, speed then exhilaration! We have four Porsches in our family, that’s more cars than we have children. I guess it is safe to say they are patiently waiting for their inheritance. My brother David has two, a 1984 911 Targa and a 2014 Carerra 4S. My wife and I drive a 2004 Boxster S and a 2009 Carerra. My love of Porsches grew from my neverending sibling rivalry with my younger brother who was the first to buy a Porsche. Of course, I was green with envy, but I had a house payment with two kids to raise and all he had was his Porsche payment.

I will never forget the first time he let me drive his 911 Targa. I remember 22 PANDO October 2015

gripping the steering wheel and starting the engine as it gave off its signature sound that I enjoy every time I start my car to this day. Years later, in 2004, my brother bought a brand new Boxster S, black on black.

In 2006, the girl next door moved to South Lake Tahoe and when she got married, my brother and I decided to drive to the wedding in his Boxster, so off we went up Highway 395.

Unbeknownst to me, he had decided to sell his Boxster and I was his best prospect. So, in Menden, Nevada, he says, “why don’t you drive the car into Tahoe over Kingsbury Grade?”

Of course, I jumped at the chance. I started slow on the turns, but with his

encouragement I started pushing the car harder around each turn. It was like we were riding on rails. By the time I reached the top I was hitting the curves at over twice the posted speeds. As we topped the hill my brother says, “I am selling this car, why don’t you buy it?”

What a sales tactic! Of course I had to bite! Buying his car is when the obsession officially started, and was the moment I got the Porsche bug.

My wife and I have enjoyed many miles in our Boxster and have driven it to many places where we have found many amazing roads to explore. There is nothing like driving your Porsche down the beautiful cavernous roads of the many national parks throughout the US, although Zion National Park is

hill. Driving that car was a challenge beyond just steering and controlling a car. First, you have to start it, not with a key, but with a crank! The trick is not to break your arm. Once you have the beast running, you have three pedals on the floor for moving forward, backward and braking. The throttle is on the steering wheel. Needless to say, my first driving experience was a challenging and memorable one. Dad is no longer with us, but his love for cars carries on through his two sons.

Whether I am driving the old Model T, my 1951 MG TD, or one of the Porsches, I always get a kick when someone yells over and says, “nice car!” Of course I always save the winding roads for the Porsche’s!

Last year my brother David, bought a new 911 Carerra 4S with the aero cup kit from the factory. The rivalry continues! my favorite. Driving through the red cliffs with the top down listening to the “Cars” CD was magical. We took the Boxster to the Porsche Parade in French Lick, Indiana, this summer and had an amazing driving experience on the back roads of southern Indiana. We spent 7 weeks traveling the US and put 8,500 miles on the car. I know what your thinking…8,500 miles in a tiny Boxster? It surprised us as well, how both easy and fun it was to travel in that car. It does get a little dicey on the interstate in a heavy rain when a semi decides to pass you in the fast lane and it is your wife’s turn to drive!

My wife calls her Carrera her little girl and it gets parked as far away as possible from any other vehicles. She says that her little girl doesn’t get along well with others. She also says that she doesn’t like to run fast. I tend to disagree, but what she doesn’t know wont hurt. It is a beautiful car!

The first car I drove was my dad’s 1915 Model T. He let me drive it around the dirt roads of Signal Hill.

He was very active in the Long Beach

Model T Club and loved to work the Model T Hill Climb event. It was fun hanging around the “guys” with the old cars and watching them turn around when they didn’t quite make it up the

HEARTS& GARAGES

Story by Peggy Huddleston Photos by Mike Lawrence and Paul Novotne Did you see any of the 60 plus Porsches driving through Orange County’s beach cities on Saturday August 29th? No, it wasn’t Porsche Parade or Concours display, it was PCA-OCR’s annual Hearts and Garage Tour charity event.

Participants went on a drive through Orange County, stopping by four different Porsche owner’s garages for food and conversation. These four enthusiasts (along with family members and helpers) decked out their garages to show off their Porsches and serve the 126 participants with some great eats.

Our day started out at 2:00 pm with appetizers at PCA Members Doug & Theo Russell’s garage in downtown Huntington Beach, where we were able to enjoy their two Porsches and lovely garage. Many subtle improvements have transformed the Russell’s garage 26 PANDO October 2015

from your average HB “long & skinny” garage into something special.

These improvements include a lift to stack the Porsches, serious structural reinforcement to accommodate a deck on top of the garage, and an industrialgrade, roll-up garage door to keep this mundane necessity’s presence as minimal as possible. Theo’s brand new, special-ordered Caymen GTS, which was recently received straight from Germany, and was winner of the most recent San Diego Concours (find out exactly what Theo won, she posted it on Facebook) was on display, along with Doug’s older Porsche, which has won many awards, a beautiful Azurite Blue 1978 930 turbo!

We stayed just over an hour to make sure most of the 126 guests had checked in and enjoyed the wonderful appetizers. We then moved our long line of Porsches down PCH from H.B. to a beautiful old neighborhood in Newport Beach, where we stopped at Rowin and Lisa Jacobs’ beautiful Cape Cod style home/garage, where we were serviced a lovely selection of salads and cars. Rowin, being an auto racer, shared his garage that not housed his racing Porsche, but a couple of other competitive German cars. (Sure would like to drive an Audi R8 SOMETIME!) Beautiful weather, tasty salads and some good information shared by Rowin brought the second garage stop to a quick, but great finish.

For our third stop, we traveled back to Huntington Beach to visit Paul Westberg, a non-member’s “racing club house” for a BBQ style main course that featured several side dishes cooked up by Paul Westberg’s co-host, Mary Hong. Paul generously shared his collection of American Muscle cars, cars used for racing, and the alwaysloved Porsche 356 that roomed with his early model VW Bug and Mini. This was a serious Man-Cave with three separate men’s car collections housed under one roof. Eleven cars were lined up along the back wall, with eleven

more cars lifted above, and another eight scattered throughout the building.

The racing simulators in the airconditioned room were a pure delight!

After the main course, we had the pleasure of hearing from Kerry-Ann Ellington, the Community Outreach Event Manager for Semper Fi Fund.

This is the charity PCA-OCR has financially supported for the last four years. After hearing her update of funds activities and report on the financial happenings at Semper Fi Fund, we heard from Retired Marine Kionte Storey, accompanied by his service dog Koja (See story and website below.) Kionte shared his affiliation and the needs Semper Fi Fund met for him after his deployment injuries was captivating to the group as we ate our main course.

We presented Semper Fi Fund with a large check in the amount of $7,000.00, representing the donations that were collected throughout the year at our many charity events. In addition to the 2015’s donation check, Club Member Steve Eguina offered a matching funds challenge. That challenge was for all club members to fill up their gas tanks and then turn around and make a donation of that amount (or more) to Semper Fi Fund. With that challenge, we raised close to another $7,000.00, in the month prior to the Hearts and Garage Tour. So once again the club presented Semper Fi Fund with about $14,000.00 for the year. We then presented Steve with his official Semper Fi/Americas Fund red polo shirt for him to proudly wear, and remind us all of the sacrifices made by our military.

Lastly, as the sun was going down on the beaches, we followed the full moon and headed inland to Yorba Linda to arrive at Lisa Taylor and Tom Ridings “Flying L Ranch,” where we were treated to an eye-full of their colorful and story-filled collection of Porsches, horses and Burmese Mountain puppies, 28 PANDO October 2015

Targa & Turbo. Not to mention the scrumptious desserts, all the flavors of the specially ordered cake balls served with some of our favorite wines and beverages. One of Lisa’s favorite Porsche purchases, of the many in their collection, is the one she purchased from her now friend Patrick Dempsey.

From Wounded to Warrior – an excerpt from Kionte Storey’s story!

After my injury, I laid on my back in Bethesda Naval Medical Center for a little over a month.

Always smiling and happy outside of my room, I put on a “happy mask” to keep anyone from noticing and asking, “What’s wrong?” But in the confines of my room, I was falling apart. I kept telling myself, “This could’ve been worse! I could be dead right now.” I reminded myself that, “it is what it is, and there’s nothing you can do besides move forward.” Getting back into normal civilian life wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. I would struggle to go anywhere outside of my room and after breaking that barrier; I realized I had a hard time being around other people. I suffered from anxiety, nervousness, high sense of alertness and moments where I forgot where I was and I felt like I was back overseas.

This scared me and kept me inside. I met “Tommy,” a black lab therapy dog at my physical therapy clinic. He made my day every day when I went to PT. Sometimes I would go to PT just to play with Tommy. After I learned about service dogs, I set out to find my

own service dog because I knew this would help me be able to adjust and cope with adjusting back into this “New Life”. A year after my injury, I met my best friend and my forever companion “Koja,” a beautiful Siberian Husky.

Thanks to my trainer from Little Angels Service Dogs and Semper Fi Fund, who helped me adapt and train my dog, Koja, I can now go out in public with little stress and no panicking because of Koja being by my side.

Angry at the way I was feeling, I decided to try anything to keep my mind busy. I soon started going to a few Paralympic sport camps. But first, I needed to learn to walk again. It wasn’t until I got my first running prosthesis known as the “cheetah leg” that I truly began to enjoy sports. I realized participating in sports made me happy.

Participating in many Paralympics, I wanted to share and recruit other wounded Marines to do the same. I wanted to help them understand that “our injuries don’t make us, we make the best of our injuries,” or as the Marine Corps know it, “Adapt and Overcome.” But even with my positive spirit, I still struggled in which is now my “New Life.” I will continue to train hard and push forward in hopes to motivate all those around me and show them that there isn’t anything too big or too small that we can’t accomplish.

Many guest gathered around Tom & Lisa's grand collection of Porsches!

Story and Photos by David Hong Some of you may remember seeing us arriving in my ‘83 911SC at Original Mike’s for the February Breakfast Meeting in a plume of smoke. My cruise control cable was stuck in the open throttle position forcing me to feather the clutch all the way down 1st Street from the freeway. That was the start of what would become a fivemonth greasy and knuckle-busting educational experience for me.

About a week later, we were driving down the 405 freeway on the way to our Sunday run (legs not tires), and my clutch pedal slammed into the floorboard and did not return after the shift. Fortunately, I was able to pull off safely to await a flatbed tow. Since it was Sunday I had the car towed home, as there were no shops open. Once home, Mary suggested I replace the clutch myself so that I could understand my car better.

32 PANDO October 2015

After studying the manual, reading the forums, watching YouTube videos on engine drops, and several talks with Club friends, it was time for my procrastinating to stop. Not having a lift in my garage, I had to use the “lift the rear of the car over the engine” method. The bumper and muffler were removed for more clearance, and carts were built to support the engine and transmission once they were removed.

Platforms known as cribs were built to provide additional height for the jack stands.

Following instructions from various sources, the task of disconnecting began. It was intimidating at first but I was reminded to take a lot of photos and to keep a journal of steps I was taking. Sketches and descriptions of electrical connections and fuel lines proved to be valuable during the reassembly phase. Documentation for the purpose of reconstruction is a practice I know very well.

The next step was compiling a list of parts to order. Initially, I was only going to replace the clutch but soon slipped down the “since the engine is out” slope and decided to replace parts that had not seen the light of day for

32 years. Pelican Parts, Lee Rice, and Cooper Boggs would be added on to the speed dial of my phone. I soon had my own Will Call bin at Pelican and I was on a first name basis with the front office staff.

The next slope I began to ascend was the cleaning of the now accessible areas. I started in the engine bay, scraping out the nasty sound deadening material. I then attacked the wheel wells. To my surprise, the wells were actually Guard’s Red and not gray! I thought the wells were painted with an undercoating of sorts until three decades of grunge and road grime started washing off. I also discovered green Bilsteins! If anyone is going to attempt this in the future, first buy stock in Simple Green or Purple Power.

You’ll be sure to collect a nice dividend at the end of the quarter.

OK, so now the engine bay is clean and I’m looking at a greasy red engine shroud. Then I see a dull fan and fan housing. I thought to myself, not cool.

So off they went to get ceramic coated.

Clamps, brackets, washers, and fasteners were gathered up to re-plate as well. I also disassembled the engine tin pieces to clean and re-paint.

With all my parts back nice and shiny, it was time to put it all together. The rear CV joints were also cleaned and repacked since they both fell apart when the engine was removed. Imagine how I felt when I opened the bag I had secured around the boot to prevent junk from getting into it only to find loose bearings. This reminded me of a wooden Chinese puzzle I had as a kid. The object was to get the cage out of the cage. Thank you YouTube for guiding me through this hurdle.

The time arrived to start it up! The starter spun but would not crank it over. I pulled the starter off to check it. It performed as it should but was not cranking the engine over. I noticed a gap at the bottom of the transmission housing. I had not mated it correctly so the starter was not engaging with the flywheel. So out comes the engine a second time. This time it was a breeze

to get in and out, sort of. The cart that the engine was sitting on broke so I was unable to roll it back into position.

Cooper came to my rescue with a cherry picker and we were able to button everything back up.

So, after five months of a few hours at a time after coming home from work, and full weekends, I replaced the clutch, all the clutch components (including a new pedal), oil hoses, seals, gaskets, o-rings and whatever else, my 1983 911 SC is running great.

With all the cleaning and polishing I did along the way, I decided to enter it into the OCR Concours and took first in Street Class. This was a very rewarding project not only for the award, but also in gaining the experience and confidence of working on my car. You really appreciate the work full time mechanics do for you.

This project would not have been successful without the help of Lee and Cooper. Their countless conversations and texts to get me through steps were invaluable. Denny came by often to give emotional support (and even washed Gem!). My son, Alan, also provided a helping hand quite often.

And lastly, I would not have made it without the great meals during and at the end of the days, prepared by Mary.

She knows I cannot function without eating something every 2 hours.

Because of this, there are no new tools in orbit (I can get real cranky).

So there you go. For anybody out there who is contemplating undertaking a project like this, I offer this quote from The Water Boy, “ You can do it!�

RICE’S

Ramblings

Story and Photos by Lee Rice My 930 Story Part II Porsche is an engineering company, not just a car manufacture and so they imagine, design, and build everything for ultimate use and reliability. So, Porsche knew from experience THE GOOD, THE BAD and THE UGLY (drawbacks) of using an exhaust turbine to drive a “Supercharger”–(air compressor).

The GOOD: An incredible power made from once wasted exhaust energy, and now the same power of a big engine, could be made from a small, lightweight, compact, engine. And turbocharged exhaust was cleaner and quieter.

The BAD: Was the unknown and needed technology to make Turbos drivable. Most of that did not fully exist in 1973. It had to be borrowed or invented.

The UGLY: Heat and horsepower.

Heat: destroys pistons, cylinders, cylinder heads, and all exhaust parts; valves, guides, pipes, and mufflers.

All needed major upgrading to higher quality materials. Porsche also needed to develop mechanical devices to operate reliably in the redhot exhaust heat.

Horsepower: Power that could go up 30-50% higher meant the need for an even stronger engine, stronger clutch, stronger trans axle, and chassis & brakes. The whole car would have to handle the higher power output. Almost everything in,

or on, a 911 needed to be upgraded to extract the full benefits of a turbo engine. Adapting the turbocharger to any car required using many new components in the engine to regulate turbo boost to safe limits-and do it reliably! It was also critical to give drivers better off-idle throttle response, and not waste boosted air that the turbo already made but was unwanted at throttle lift off.

Racing cars simply dumped that compressed air into the atmosphere –but Porsche developed a very clever “recirculation valve.” This was one of many devices necessary for a road going turbo car. The Recirculation Valve refined the engines running and that alone could have been a deal breaker. But it actually enabled the whole turbo idea to work, by simply rerouting boosted air back into the intake system. This would make a road 911 quieter, save energy, and also helped throttle response.

Power output is controlled by boost pressure. Porsche used an aircraft method to control boost pressure by a mechanical pneumatic controller called a ”Waste Gate.”

Porsche-being the first- learned you had to use the best possible quality material on a turbo engine. An ugly truth was cost had to be put aside as 100% reliability was the mandate. Luckily, the ugly truth also had a “good” side to it.

Porsche, and everyone else later, came to realize the coming tighter emission requirements led to catalytic converters and government mandated 50,K and later 100,K mile warranted emission and exhaust parts on ALL cars. Quality came not only to emission systems but to most other systems as well. The new 911 Turbo was leading the industry in developing some of these new technologies.

The new 911 turbo car, developed as “type 930”, was also being made into racing versions. There would be a version for Group 4 -“type 934” was almost a road car slightly modified for racing and for an all-out racing road car version: Grp.5, there was “type 935.”

fig 8. 930/50 engine

The Waste Gate diverts and vents redhot exhaust gas around turbocharger with a valve operated by a large diaphragm/spring. Boost pressure pushes the diaphragm/valve against the spring at the desired boost pressure setting.

October 2015 PANDO 35

In addition to all this was a most ambitious project of an additional racer, an all-out prototype racing version Grp. 6 (type 936) using some of the chassis& body from the old CanAm 917-30/ KL -only now, all variants; 930, 934, 935, & 936 would all use turbocharged 911 engines! Most of us hoped for at least a “Turbo RS” road type version and hopefully at a price one could manage (even if one only had to starve themselves a short while).

I most fortunately happened to be in Zuffenhausen, in Sept/Oct of 1974 and while on the factory tour, I was granted permission to skip the paint shop tour and instead enjoyed an hour of watching a new 911 engine being assembled by one of Porsche’s engine builders. While watching, I noticed the not so unusual red fan/ engine air shroud being installed on a new engine, but I saw some peculiarly long studs being assembled into the engine’s cylinder head intakes.

I thought it might be some unusual 911S or RSR engine. However, I soon realized it just might be something entirely different, and I thought about how this engine was the only one being assembled, all by itself, in it’s own assembly area, with no one else around, except me. I knew this engine was something very unusual and very special. I soon realized this must be one of the new prototype turbo engines, and I was witnessing it coming alive! All of the sudden, I felt at any moment the guards were going to grab me!

Later, our tour guide took us outside to see the returning road test drive cars (all Porsche cars got a test run on streets autobahn and with normal traffic) We walked through the courtyard full of new Porsches and our guide, …and there sat one unusual 911. When asked what it was, our guide said, “It is our new turbo 911 being developed. Would you like to see it?’ YES!, YES! And I asked If I COULD SEE THE ENGINE? “Oh, of course, …” We all were so 36 PANDO October 2015

surprised at the openness… And so with my last two shots you see what we saw.

So I saw for myself Porsche and automotive history in the making.

Fall 1974 -with all of the “energy problems,” and fuel rationing, speed limits, speed traps, and now, in 1974, Porsche’s introduction to the world of

their new 1975 911 Turbo. It was a bit of a shock. What! A new “performance car”! Who would want one of those?

Especially, THESE DAYS? The new Porsche 911 Turbo would be known as “930”-the internal project number.

Porsche’ wasn’t sure if this 911 would sell all that well- and knew it needed a higher price to pay for the huge

development costs of the road and racing versions.

Porsche was hoping to secure orders for a batch of 500 911 Turbos, just as they had done with the 911 RS 2.7 back in 1973. And just like the 2.7 RS, orders for the 911 Turbo came soon.

The first sales would be filled in Germany for the 1975 Model Year (“H”). The U.S. of A. would have to wait until 1976 (“J”) for the “Turbo Carrera”. Apparently marketing types thought that adding-on the “Carrera” might sell better with that connotation from Porsche’s racing history. So, that’s how the USA got the “Turbo Carrera.”

Some magazine writers were at a loss trying to adjust to the serious performance level of the new 930 Turbo. Its racing car looks and early reports of its ferocious, on-boost performance gave caution. It almost seemed out of place for any new car even for a new Porsche. I think most automotive writers were at a lost for words.

Here was Porsche, well known and respected for it’s small sports cars, with small engines, always racing very efficiently, but never going for the top spots. But now, Porsche had come out with a car so outrageous, so over the top, so noticeable, so much of a statement making of performance when every other new car was becoming more and more mundane with looks to match. Too many new cars looked like cheap-o, econ-boxes – and some shunned any idea of performance.

Imagine writing about those things for a living and trying to make something interesting of it? Then here comes the new Porsche? It didn’t seem to fit. What was this all about anyway?

It seems so... outrageous! To Porsche consumers, the 911 Turbo did seem out of place, but in a good way. And we loved PORSCHE for having the determination and foresight to develop this kind of performance road car!

Logic tells any engineer that poor fuel economy and air pollution is nothing more than wasted fuel energy. High performance places first importance on converting all energy into making power. You don’t want to waste any energy! Racing experience had in the past, and was now making all cars more fuel-efficient. Porsche learned their hard won lessons with earlier smaller, lighter, more fuel efficient engines and now the new 911 Turbo was doing it once again, and looking to the future with turbo technology to resolve many of the energy and clean air problems.

The 930 Turbo was built almost like the race cars; hand built, for the first 500, then the second 500, then more followed. Around 1981, Porsche finally had a dedicated “construction” line for just 930 Turbos.

With the arrival of the 1976 Turbo Carrera, some folks were not totally crazy about it as delivered. It was heavy and it had rather ugly rubber bumpers and trim. It had those weird stick on decals and labels, and it had enormous door mirrors “air brakes,” (“elephant ears”- we heard them called). The new 930 could only be had with the new, and hefty 4-speed transaxle. No 5-speed? And the promised 917 type brakes did not come on the 930. Our burning question was: When will the 930 S or 930 RS version come out?

The 930 was anything but Spartan as the older 911S’ were. But, even with all the 930’s add-ons, it really had the ability to perform. On one of my first drives in a new 1977 Turbo was an unbelievable thrill even with such a heavy car with only 3.0 Liters, low compression (6.5:1), California smog equipped and with only modest turbo boost.

It was quick once boost came on, and fun, REALLY FUN, to drive.

One reason the turbo has so much pull right off of idle is the turbocharger

supplies pressurized air right up to the top of the throttle -at idle. It does not have much pressure, but it is supplying a VOLUME of air. When the throttle is first opened, airflow instantly floods into the intake, and cylinders. It gives you a sensation of a much bigger engine. The heavy 930 moves away quickly. You soon learn to lighten your throttle foot to adjust to this. Then as you continue to accelerate there is less pull, called ‘lag’, when the revving 3.0 Liter engine is not yet getting the air it needs. The turbo takes a second or two to spin up to deliver all that air. If you leave your right foot down you get a second or two and then what happens next is the total shock of acceleration!

But there were many complaints of “turbo lag.” These complaints mostly came from folks unfamiliar with Porsches in the first place and who did not understand turbo driving at all.

Again, this was somewhat expected, and it was well known that these problems would always be on the top of the list to be remedied.

The new Turbo Carrera was somewhat like the older 911S with ‘big cams’ and high compression. You had to get used to power at the higher rpms. When rpms sped up and you were ‘on the cam’ the 911S flew! The Turbo Carrera was much the same way. Once boost built up, it had tremendous energy.

Stop light acceleration came quick if one chose to slip clutch, and got onto boost sooner –but, there was one big change: you were going, VERY FAST – VERY QUICK! One problem too was that the 1975 Turbo and 1976 Turbo Carrera had no boost gauge. We were told, it regulated boost to 0.70 to 0.85 BAR. * (the 1977 Turbo Carrera came with a 0 to 1.5 BAR boost gauge, and from 1978, onward, all Turbos had a 0-1.0 BAR boost gauges.)

October 2015 PANDO 37

Anyway, I did not believe the 1977 Turbo’s acceleration – once on boost!

It must have had more boost than it’s supposed to?

We installed a calibrated master boost gauge, ‘T’-ed into the intake manifold and saw that the boost was actually reading high. Soon we learned the problem: Turbo owners were NOT using boost enough to exercise the boost regulator –the ”Waste Gate.”

It would stick shut from moisture accumulation. If the W.G. did stick shut, there is no boost regulation -you could over boost the engine and severely damage it. In mid 1977, Porsche relocated the flat mounted waste gate to an inclined angle to allow moisture to automatically be removed from the waste gate. We were also officially told in legalese that every turbo should have it’s Waste Gate “exercised at least once on every drive”. That is a good recommendation and to this day I always comply with that.

all that, there was a bright turning point.

I recall Ferry Porsche responding to a politically correct question about the new 911 Turbo. The reporter asked: “…

IF we do run out of oil and fuel, what would you do if you had the very last gallon of fuel?”

Ferry Porsche quickly replied: “…I would put it in this kind of car (the new 911 Turbo) and drive it as it was meant to be driven…”

One car company introduced and proved to the world that “high performance” IS making better use of air, fuel, and raw materials and did so by building a car that proved to be cleaner, fuel efficient, and all done with a small, quality built, and a long lasting car. To this day, this car has continued that tradition and also winning every kind of race imagined!

Look for Part III of “My 930 Story” in the November 2015 issue.

As time went on, we lusted to learn what a 930 could do when we started improving them.

The legacy of the 911 Turbo lives on today with an “evergreen” ability to continue on by adapting to new realities and the new needs of performance minded drivers.

Today we have turbocharged 3-cylinder 1.3 Liter engines running as well as 3.0L V-6 cars do, and drivers are none the wiser. Emissions are cleaner, engines are smaller, lighter, more reliable, and of course performance has vastly improved, all since 1975.

The 40th anniversary of the 911 turbo should be remembered as a turning point with the introduction of a new performance car, in the heights of a starved fuel crunch and mindless attitude where some said only “economy cars” should be allowed to even be built anymore.

Werks Reunion Monterey Story by Tom Gray, Photos by Frank Barcelona

The second annual Porsche Werks Reunion was held at the Rancho Canada Golf Club in Carmel Valley on Friday, August 14. It is one of the many, many events that make up what is called “Monterey Car Week�.

Over 700 Porsches were arranged on the field. Included were concours competitors, Porsche factory/museum cars and a huge corral area nicely arranged by era and type. Of particular interest were several cars from the Ingram Collection of North Carolina, a private museum of historic and significant Porsches.

This event is free to the public. Early arrivals can park for free on the adjacent Carmel Valley Road. Those arriving later can park on the grounds of the church next door for a modest donation.

Your attendance next year is highly recommended.

Werks Reunion split off in 2014 from another event, Legends of the Autobahn.

Legends also included Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi. In the thoroughly 40 PANDO October 2015

unbiased opinion of the author, Werks Reunion has soared in both quality and quantity of the cars. The author has also attended Legends for several years, including this one. Sadly, it seems that Legends of the Autobahn has declined since Porsche separated from it.

Editor’s Message Continued From Page 7 And then there is the idea of another Turbo. I had a 996 Turbo that was a hoot, and one of the fastest things I’ve ever driven in a straight line. So, maybe a 991 or even a 997 turbo may be in the cards. What do you think? Drop me a line and give me some thoughts, or share your experiences with whatever you’re driving. We’ll probably make this decision in November/December if I can stave off the buy impulse that comes over me when in the car buying mood.

A Passionate Italian Perhaps Mr. Cooper?

Okay so I mentioned the 2014 MV Agusta “Brutale” 800 and I will also explain. I re-entered the motorcycle world last year with a Kawasaki 650 Ninja. This was a great reentry vehicle, very user friendly, and quick enough.

My plan however was always to upgrade so beginning the middle of this year I started looking at other choices.

I’ve always been a sports minded person so my choices ran to Aprilia, BMW, Ducati, Triumph, and of course the aforementioned MV Agusta. In the end the Agusta got my selection.

It is a 3 cylinder 800 CC computer on wheels that is amazing. Motorcycle technology is apace with car technology so that on this machine I have; a quick shifter (think PDK), 4 selectable riding modes that include one for sports, one for rain, and one for normal, including a customizable setting. Also perhaps beating the car world, a settable ABS system that I can tune for intervention through 8 levels! It is beautiful to look at that will be instantly appreciated by any true gear head.

Why is this of interest in a car magazine?! Well, I am glad you asked.

It seems that Audi the sister ship of Porsche owns Ducati. And Mercedes Benz has taken an equity position in MV Agusta. And BMW owns BMW, or is that too obvious? In fact recently while touring our local Porsche dealer, car shopping, there was a Ducati Panigale in the middle of the show room floor. Further recall that Porsche has engineered motors for Harley Davidson here in the United States.

More to come? I think so.

And Your Club

The Porsche Club of America, Orange Coast Region continues to grow and get ‘er done with all manner of activities.

There are six activities in November alone as a little comment on our activity. Choose one and come out with us, you’ll enjoy yourself! I hope to see you soon.
