The President’s Column Doreen Pankow
S
ummer is nearing an end, but there are still lots of great car events in September you can enjoy. In last month’s President’s Column, I talked about the upcoming Pre-Concours Detail Clinic on September 14th at Lavaggio, a premiere detail facility in Agoura Hills and our sponsor for this event. You will learn how to better prepare your car for competition (or fun) in less time and learn some new detailing techniques. So sign up for this clinic and learn how to prepare your Porsche for our Concours d’Elegance on October 13th at the Fess Parker Doubletree in Santa Barbara. Our Region is hosting a PCA Zone 8 Autocross open to all licensed drivers 18 and older in street legal vehicles on Saturday, September 21st, at the Camarillo Airport. New at this autocross, licensed minor aged drivers of PCA members, 16 and 17 years old, can drive solo under PCA’s Junior Participation Program. A maximum of 65 cars will be allowed, so all drivers will get at least four practice runs in the morning and a minimum of three timed runs in the afternoon. The course is on a closed section of the runway with plenty of run-off room with nothing to hit. The course will have chalked lanes with cones, length a half mile with one or more slaloms, a decreasing radius lollypop turnaround and other turns and braking challenges. Also new at this autocross, Ted Lighthizer, SBR’s Autocross Chair, will be presenting trophies
to the first place winner in each Porsche class, thanks to our friends at RUSNAK/Westlake Porsche. So come out and win a trophy!! The LA Getty Center tour on September 28th will start out at Rusnak/Westlake Porsche where we’ll enjoy coffee and pastries. Then we’ll take a scenic drive down Pacific Coast Highway and iconic Sunset Boulevard to the Getty Center where you can explore the museum on your own or sign up for a tour. The Getty Center presents an amazing collection of European and American art from the Middle Ages to the present against a backdrop of dramatic architecture, tranquil gardens, and breathtaking views. A delicious box lunch will also be provided. The Special Olympics Santa Barbara Chapter is hosting its 2nd Annual Coast Village Classic Car Show on Sunday, September 22, from 8am to 3pm in the scenic village of Montecito. Cruise down Coast Village Road and enjoy the 150 unique and illustrious cars provided by Cars and Coffee and local entries. Check out an impressive display of collectible cars, visit the shops and restaurants, and enjoy a wonderful day at the coast. Our club supported the Special Olympics as our charity last year. The $50 entry fee to register and display your car in the show will be used to support this Special Olympics program. Or if you just want to view the cars, parking and admission are free. For the more adventurous, you might want to participate in the 2013 Targa Newfoundland from September 14th – 21st that starts out at St. John’s, Newfoundland. This is an internationally recognized race and draws competitors from across the world. It is a seven-day road course that covers 2000 km through the eastern and central portions of the island. So if it’s too late to plan for this year’s event, you might want to think about participating in this fun adventure next year as it’s an annual event. Enjoy the rest of the summer driving your favorite Porsche!!

here sure are lots of great club events coming up between now and the end of the year. Make sure to sign up for the Concours d’Elegance on October 13th at the Fess Parker Doubletree in Santa Barbara. This is a beautiful venue and will be a great place to get some good pictures of your prized Porsche!
Speaking of pictures, I’m still looking for members to submit good, high resolution photos of their Porsches to include in the monthly Membership Gallery of Der Auspuff. If you don’t have your camera or iPhone 5 with you, ask one of our excellent photographers to take one for you.

On October 26 we’ll be touring the Firefighting Air Fleet at Van Nuys Airport. We have an opportunity to meet the firefighters who man the LAFD’s aerial firefighting fleet of helicopters and crash rescue equipment. This will also be an opportunity to have lunch with them, and see a flyby and demonstration. It’s sure to be a fun afternoon, so sign up soon. The annual Autumn Grape Harvest Tour in November is always a great time. We will visit some beautiful wineries, and a spectacular lunch is planned. Make sure not to miss out on this one. Sign up soon; it’s sure to sell out! We’ll wrap the year up with the lavish Holiday Brunch at La Cumbre Country Club, and then it starts all over again next year with the Caravan to Carlsbad in January. The fun never stops! Until next time, see you down the road!

O
ur monthly breakfast meeting at the Whale’s Tail in Oxnard was opened with a welcome to our sponsors: Sam Abergel from Rusnak Westlake Porsche and Walt Branscome from the Santa Barbara Auto Group. Next, Doreen announced that the Santa Barbara Special Olympics, a charity we supported last year, will be hosting the Coast Village Classic Car Show in Montecito on Sept. 22nd as a fundraiser. PCA/SBR club members are invited to attend. Ted Lighthizer talked about the Sept. 21st Autocross. Trophies will be given out at this event for the first place winner in each Porsche class. There are so many Porsche classes that a large percentage of the entrants will probably leave with a trophy to place on their mantel. Membership Chair Sue Kinsling said that 119 participants signed the roster. From the large number of chairs occupied solely by SBR attendees and guests, we are certain there were many more than 119 at the meeting. 41 Porsches were counted in the parking lot – not nearly enough cars to carry even those who signed in. Also, this being “Alternative Vehicle month,” we wondered whose red woody was out there. James Oldham drove in his Ferrari. Jon and Betsy Lutz rode to the meeting in a motorcycle and side car. The McNairs came in their TR-6. We have little idea how many more came in their alternate rides.
Say hello to new members Allen and Michelle De Los Santos from Simi Valley in their 1984 Carrera.

Another Beautiful Day at the Wharf!
STORY BY BARRY WEINSTEIN AND PHOTOS BY RON WILLIAMS
A
ugust being “alternative vehicle month” for PCA/SBR, Sue Kinsling walked the parking lot outside Moby Dick’s restaurant on Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara and counted one motorcycle, one Mini and two BMW’s in addition to the 32 Porsches parked there. 42 attendees signed in to the meeting. Doreen welcomed the members, sponsors, and guests who attended. Sponsors Walt Branscome from SBAG and the Hincks, Paula and Henry, from Schneider Autohaus, joined us at breakfast. Other attendees announced by Sue included new members Bruce Dobrin & Karla Shelton from Santa Barbara, who drove to the meeting in their 2005 911. Michael Edick, a PCA member from Pinegrove in Northern California, also joined us. Angie Redpath from Targa Newfoundland told us about the upcoming week-long 2000 KM race this coming September 14th 21st. Targa Newfoundland is an internationally recognized event and draws competitors from all over the world. It’s an annual race with several divisions, so it is open to drivers of all skill levels. Angie is in California promoting interest in the 2014 race but also said there is still room if someone wants to register for the 2013 race. Any takers from PCA/SBR? Doreen concluded the meeting by thanking Brian and Linda Rubino for running the club’s Goodie Store for the last three years. They’ve contributed greatly to the success and enjoyment of Michael Edick, a PCA member our club. Not only have they from Pinegrove in Northern managed the Goodie Store but California. have organized, led and helped

R.U.F. Drives To The Beat At Drum Workshop STORY BY JEANNE MCNAIR, PHOTOS BY NICK LIAKAS AND MIKE POMERANTZ
T
wenty R.U.F.ians in eleven cars followed the drum beat and signed on for a tour of the Drum Workshop (DW) in July. When we arrived at this world class drum manufacturing facility, we were greeted by our employee guides, who split us up into two groups for a comprehensive tour of this fascinating venue. The DW, which was founded in 1972, employs 150 people and handles every step in the production of drums and drum hardware. The finished products are very high-end drum sets and are used and endorsed by a pantheon of drummers for big name performers such as Beyonce, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Usher, Neal Young, Tina Turner, Barbara Streisand and many, many more.
We also learned about the exotic woods that may be used in production of custom drum sets, some of which take up to six months to create. Woods are brought in from all over the world and include ivory ebony, birdseye maple, macassar ebony, olive, ash, burl and flakey oak. Well-known performing artists come to the DW to select the woods they want in their drum sets. The custom sets can cost upwards of several thousand dollars.
We first learned that drum shells, which are made in-house, start with sheets of wooden veneer, each 1/36” thick. Multiple sheets are glued to the desired thickness and then bonded using specially designed machines exerting 2600 pounds of pressure to create the round shell. The direction in which the shell grain runs affects the tone produced. For example, vertical running grain will produce a lower tone. Technician installing and tuning drum heads. DW also has its own R&D department, including a high-tech 3-D printer to create prototypes. One interesting side note of the tour was to learn that a substantial number of the employees are active musicians. One of the guides, who is a drummer, told us he’s worked there since he was 18 and has been there many years. It was clear from his enthusiasm that he loves his job and where he works.
Drum shell coming out of the hot press. We were able to witness the whole manufacturing process from shell formation, buffing, sanding, assembly, painting (which includes graphic designs), and hardware installation. The final step after quality control is tuning of the drums. The DW employs two full-time tuners, who are also drummers themselves.
Dick Lange rocking out! We were all grateful to Linda Kuckenbaker, who came for the tour, and suggested this venue in Oxnard for a R.U.F. trip. Following the tour, we all went to Lure Fish House in Camarillo for a delicious lunch and animated conversation about all that we had just experienced and learned. = Drum assembly area. www.facebook.com/PCASBR • Porsche Club of America • Santa Barbara Region • September 2013

SBR Members Featured in “Excellence” STORY BY CHET YABITSU, PHOTO BY JEFF PARKER
O
ur Past President and current Public Relations coordinator Nick Liakas and a well-known photographer/writer, Peter Wu, from the Excellence Porsche Magazine had arranged a photo shoot of three model years of the 911 Turbo. The target release date for the magazine was the October 2013 issue along with the Porsche Buyer’s Guide supplement. Initially, Nick was contacted by Excellence, figuring that the SBR Club in all probability would have among its membership the three specific models they were looking for; these were the 930 Turbo, the rare 964 Turbo and the 996 Turbo. Our Club had ownership of two of these; the 1977 930 Turbo owned by Randy & Sue Kinsling and the 2002 996 Turbo owned by Chet & Joan Yabitsu. The third model was a 1991 964 owned by Tom Ridings who is also a PCA member of the Orange Coast Region. What was interesting is that the 964 Turbo models were built for three years.... 1991, 1992 and 1994. Excellence was interested only in either the 1991 or 1992 models since they had the 3.3 liter engine, whereas the 1994 year model had the 3.6 liter engine. This made the 964 harder to find due to its rarity. The 1975, 1976 and 1977 930 Turbos all had the 3.0 liter engine with more “boost dialed in” at the factory. The 996 Turbos came with the 3.6 liter engine. The object of the article was to show the progression of the Porsche Turbos through the decades as exemplified by these three models. The photo shoot took place on June 3, 2013, at a venue called Rabbit Springs Dry Lake, a high desert, flat lake bed located on Highway 247 between Apple Valley and Lucerne Valley, east of Victorville. The temperature was a “cool” 85F degrees, much cooler than the predicted 102F degrees. But it was windy. The winds were generated by the Powerhouse wildfire at Lake Hughes to the west
and blowing easterly. The wind was probably a steady 20 to 30 mph with occasional higher gusts of 40 knots. Needless to say, we were constantly wiping down our cars between each photo take session. Of course, the girls were not pleased with this wind because it messed up their hair. The photo shoot began around 3:30 pm and continued into dusk, around 8 pm. We were constantly racing the clock for the optimum sunlight for maximum color rendering. The most challenging part of the event was Peter Wu’s desire for a sequence of moving vehicle shots where all three cars moved in a tight triad formation with separations of 15 to 20 feet from each other. This sequence was done with our Jeff Parker driving Peter’s lead car at a steady 30 to 35 mph while Peter was shooting from his trunk. All the while the trunk lid was falling down on his head as he was shooting and shouting instructions to Jeff. Chet was the third car in the rear of the triad formation, desperately trying to maintain the speed set by Jeff, yet not running behind nor running into the rear of the other two cars in front. Needless to say, Chet had his right foot on the accelerator while his left foot was lightly on the brake pedal, very focused ! The resulting photos with the late to evening sunlight spraying on the cars and the background mountains were dramatic with eyepopping coloration. As graphically illustrated in the accompanying photograph, at “wrap-up” around 8 pm, the pictures we took with our “point & shoot” cameras came out on the dark side. On the other hand, the photos as shown in the Excellence issue imply that Peter took all of his pictures in daylight; this just goes to show what separates the amateurs from the professionals. This was a very interesting experience for all of us, and much different than the previous single car photo shoot sessions; certainly more involved with complex staging and race against the clock. =

SBR 17th Annual Chili Cook-Off STORY BY BARRY WEINSTEIN, PHOTOS BY DON EARL
O
n July 20, 2013, the weather was delightful, just enough overcast to tone down what can sometimes be an oppressive heat wave during the month of July in Southern California. Eighty-eight PCA-SBR members in 50+ vehicles (mostly Porsches and a few alternative vehicles) showed up at the home of Terry and Jim Middlebrook for our 17th Annual Chili Cook-Off. This was the seventh time the Middlebrooks hosted the event. Jeanette and Bob Bassett, long-time members of our club, held the cook-off at their home for the first ten years of this annual party. It took almost a quarter of those attending to provide the talent and volunteerism necessary to help put this event together. Everyone brought a food item to share, including twelve who entered their pots of chili in the contest. Three of the twelve entrants were declared winners. Third place winner of a wall plaque commemorating her victory was Marti Thiese. Marti and her husband, Rick, are newcomers to our club, having joined the Santa Barbara Region less than a year ago. This was the first time they’ve attended this event. C ongratulations, Marti! Second place winner was one of our most active club members, Jeanne McNair. Jeanne has been a member of the club for over twelve years. She and her husband, John (our Vice President), also currently serve as our RUF Co-Chairs, who organize and supervise about 12 midweek events a year for our “Retired Becky Lundberg - First Place Winner! and Unemployed Folks.” For winning second place, Jeanne was also awarded a wall plaque to hang in her kitchen. Our grand prize winner was Becky Lundberg. Becky is an 18year club member. For her victory, Becky’s name will be engraved on the three-foot tall Lady Scoville trophy, which she will display in her home for the next 12 months. To all those who volunteered to help put this event on, my wife Val and I, on behalf of the entire club, offer our heartfelt thanks. In addition to the Middlebrooks, Doreen Pankow, and Ted Lighthizer, over 20 people helped to set up the tables, chairs and tents, served the food, directed parking, counted ballots, and cleaned up. All this was done in addition to everyone bringing food to share. To all who helped set up and take down the tables, chairs and tents, counted the ballots, and directed the parking, our thanks go out to you. This group of hard-working volunteers included Gary Weaver, Joe Niederst, David Stone, Mike Pomerantz, Don
Earl, Doug Maletz, Nick Liakas, Dave Mosesson, Ed O’Connor (guest), Don Earl, Dick Lange, Brian Rubino, Howard Rubinstein, Jeff Merrick, Bob Bassett, and Larry Stoops.
Jeanne & John McNair - Second Place Winner! Our thanks also go out to our special ladies who set up the food and served the chili. This group included Phyllis Weaver, Olga Liakas, Luz Mosseson, Linda Lange, Susan Stone, and Rosalee Merrick. If we missed anyone, we sincerely apologize. As most of you know, eyes and memory are among the first things to go. One final note: Surprisingly, former membership chair, former club president and long-time member David Stone almost won the event by default! Dave was helping to park cars in the Middlebrooks’ motor court, and being the gentleman that he is, he carried in most of the pots of chili to the kitchen for the contestants. Phyllis Weaver checked in the chili pots and kept a list of who brought what for the balloting. Being as busy as she was, each time Dave dropped a pot off, she noted Dave’s name as the member who cooked it. Had she not realized her mistake after 4 or 5 pots were counted, she never would have been able to decipher who was the cook of each pot, and Dave would probably have won by default. =

The Tech Page
Manual Transmissions: Part II BY CHRIS ANDROPOULOS Santa Barbara Region Tech Editor
L
ast month’s tech article provided an overview of the basics of manual transmissions, gear ratios, and a description of Porsche’s unique synchronizer system. This month we’ll go more in-depth about the service requirements of and common repairs for Porsche’s manual transmissions and clutch systems. I’ll also provide some tips on shifting and clutch operation that will maximize the life of your Porsche’s clutch and transmission, and minimize the prospect of costly repairs. Before we delve into the specifics of Porsche transmissions, I must point out a couple of errors in last month’s intro to manual transmissions. I mistakenly mixed up the “large” and “small” gears of each gearset when describing gear ratios and tooth count: in lower gear ratios the smaller gear (usually on the input shaft) with a lesser tooth count drives a larger gear with more teeth, and in overdrive gears a larger gear drives a smaller one to allow the driven wheels to rotate at a greater speed than the engine. But, the overall concepts of torque multiplication and engine speed versus road speed remain the same. Also, in an unintentional affront to the 928 community, I neglected to mention that Porsche redesigned the manual gearbox of its GT car for the 1987 model year and changed to conventional Borg-Warner synchronizers (Porsche-type synchros were used until then). I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Porsche’s manual gearboxes are generally very robust and reliable with normal use. The gearbox oil level should be checked at every service, and should be changed every 30,000 miles or five years. If the gearbox is used for race track events, the gear oil should be changed at least once a year. The gearbox drain plugs on most Porsches have magnets built in to catch any ferrous debris; a small amount of fine metallic “fuzz” on the magnet is normal, but any
20
larger chunks of metal should be cause for concern. The synchronizer rings and dog teeth are wear items, and replaceable if worn. If there is any grinding while shifting or if there is an excessive amount of resistance when shifting normally into any gear, suspect synchronizer wear (a dragging or improperly adjusted clutch can also cause grinding).The Porsche-design synchronizer components do not take kindly to abuse, rushed shifts, or improper use of the clutch. When shifting a Porsche-synchro transmission, one should ensure that the clutch pedal is completely depressed; if it is not, the dog teeth of the gear being shifted out of can break. Before shifting completely into the next gear, there should be a pause to allow for the synchronization to take place; you can actually feel it working! Then, it should
slip into gear easily. Care should also be taken when shifting from neutral to 1st or reverse when stopped: a rushed shift will result in grinding and worn parts. The 915 gearboxes in particular have an undeserved reputation for having poor shift quality, but operator error, worn shift bushings, and improper rebuilds are more culpable than Porsche’s design. A properly built and maintained 915 is a joy to drive and will last many years. The later Porsche transmissions use conventional synchronizers and generally have a smoother shift action. The six-speed transaxle introduced in the 993 features triple-cone synchronizers for 1st and 2nd gears for the ultimate in shift smoothness. Despite being easier to shift, the same precautions should be applied to these transmissions and to any other; abusive

shifting can and will break parts and cause heartache when the repair bill is due. Another relatively common bad habit with any manual transmission is to rest one’s hand on the gearshift while driving in gear. This is a big no-no! Doing this continually will cause wear to the shift forks and detents, and eventually the transmission will pop out of gear under load. An expensive transmission rebuild will ensue. The clutch is considered a normal wear item of the power train. Early Porsches with cable-actuated clutches should have the clutch cable tension checked with each service and adjusted, if necessary. If the clutch cable is too loose, the clutch may not be able to completely disengage, and grinding during shifts may result. If the cable is too tight, the clutch might not completely engage, and may slip. The conventional clutch cable systems of 356/912/914 and early 911s require about 1-inch of free play at the pedal after adjustment. The 1977-1986 911s use a more sophisticated clutch cable system with a helper spring on the transmission and an adjustment screw for setting the pedal free play. The adjustment procedure is simple yet specific, and we often find these systems misadjusted. Also, some aftermarket cables for these later 915 cars are too long and need modification in order to achieve proper adjustment. Clutch cables can break with age and use. If grinding and difficult shifting occurs only when the engine and transmission are warmed up, suspect a stretched or fraying clutch cable. The cable should be replaced ASAP to prevent a date with a tow truck. Hydraulically operated clutch systems do not normally require periodic adjustment. The pedal free play can be adjusted, but this is generally not necessary unless the pedal components have been disassembled. The hydraulic clutch circuit draws fluid from the same reservoir as the brake circuit in most Porsches. Therefore, its fluid should be changed biannually at the same time as the brake fluid. Clutch master and slave cylinders can eventually fail with age, with
the usual symptom being fluid leakage in the driver’s footwell and/or at the transmission, and eventually a clutch pedal that stays on the floor. Clutch component life largely depends on how and where the car is driven. A clutch can last well over 100K miles in a car that is driven mostly on the highway with fewer shifts per mile and/or a skilled driver, whereas a car that is frequently driven in stop-and-go traffic and experiences many hill starts can wear out the clutch in 30K miles or less. Minimizing clutch slippage and learning to perfectly match engine RPM with wheel speed on upshifts and downshifts is the key to a long clutch life, while teaching your 16-year-old how to drive a manual transmission in your Porsche may well be the key to a short-lived clutch. Steep hill starts should be performed with the parking brake engaged while releasing the clutch pedal and applying throttle or by using the “heel-toe” method of holding the brake with the ball of the foot and pivoting the foot to apply throttle with the side of the foot while easing out the clutch pedal. Both methods take practice, but once mastered, either will add many miles to clutch life. When a clutch finally does reach the end of its service life and requires replacement, the transmission needs to be removed for clutch component access in most Porsches. The two-sided clutch friction disc is the usual wear component in question. As mentioned in last month’s column, the clutch disc is sandwiched between the engine flywheel and the clutch pressure plate. Each time the clutch is engaged, a small amount of the friction material (similar to that of a brake pad) on each side of the clutch disc wears away. Eventually, the disc becomes thin enough in profile to cause the diaphragm spring of the pressure plate to “over-center” past its normal range of motion. This causes the clutch pedal effort to be stiffer than normal, and it can happen so gradually that the everyday driver of the car may not notice until the clutch begins to slip. (It should be noted that in some 996/997 and Boxster/Cayman models, a broken clutch pedal boost spring can also cause an overly stiff clutch pedal.) A slipping clutch is usually a result of the friction disc wearing too thin, causing the pressure plate to be unable to provide enough clamping force
to effectively transmit engine torque to the gearbox. Slippage usually occurs during heavy acceleration and higher engine RPM at first, and will gradually worsen until the car is rendered immobile. Once the transmission is removed, the usual components to be replaced during a clutch job are the clutch disc, pressure plate and the release bearing, also known as a “throwout” bearing. The clutch release fork and related components should also be inspected and replaced if necessary. 911s with 915 transaxles in particular are prone to dirt and rust ingress in the release fork shaft bores. This causes an overly stiff clutch pedal. Early 996 models and six- speed 986 Boxster S models should receive updated clutch forks and pivots during clutch replacement to minimize creaking during clutch pedal operation. The engine rear crankshaft seal (AKA the “rear main seal”) and the transmission input shaft seals should be inspected and replaced if necessary. The conventional flywheel of an earlier Porsche can be resurfaced if it is not worn below a specified minimum thickness. It is strongly recommended to have the flywheel resurfaced any time the clutch components are replaced to ensure even wear-in of the new clutch disc and minimize the chance of clutch chatter during engagement from uneven contact. Excessive clutch slippage or a clutch disc worn down to its rivets can score and damage the flywheel surface beyond repair in extreme cases. Virtually all Porsches manufactured after 1990 use a dual-mass flywheel (pictured above). The dual-mass flywheel design is comprised of two flywheels joined together. The inner flywheel is bolted to the engine crankshaft, and the outer flywheel is riveted to an intermediate plate housed within the inner flywheel. The outer flywheel with friction surface has the clutch bolted to it, and is able to rotate independently of the inner flywheel approximately 15 degrees in either direction. Long dampening springs are mounted circumferentially inside the inner flywheel housing to cushion
the movements of the outer section. The dampening action of the dual mass flywheel greatly reduces the amount of vibration from the engine that is transmitted through the drivetrain. This allows for much smoother operation at lower engine speeds, and reduces gear rattle from the transmission. The extra flywheel mass (4050 lbs. versus the 1520 lbs. of the average single mass flywheel) facilitates moving the vehicle from rest, as the engine will not stall as easily if the clutch is hastily released. The main drawback of the dual mass flywheel is that because the outer half containing the wear surface is able to move independently of the inner flywheel, it cannot be accurately machined for resurfacing. The entire dual mass flywheel assembly must be replaced if the wear surface is excessively scored or cracked. The dampening springs can also wear out and cause excessive movement and clunking during clutch engagement and sudden engine load changes. Early 964 dual mass flywheels were problematic and were replaced in droves, while an excessively worn flywheel can cause false misfire fault codes and a flashing “check engine” light in ‘96-98 993 models. All late model manual transmission Porsches except for certain GT3 RS models feature dual mass flywheels, which should be inspected closely any time the transmission is removed for clutch repair. Watch this space next month for the final installment of the transmission trifecta, in which Porsche’s two-pedal transmissions will be dissected! = Chris Andropoulos is the Service Manager and a technician at Schneider Autohaus in Santa Barbara (a Der Auspuff advertiser). Chris is a lifelong Porsche “nut” and is fascinated with and knowledgeable about all Porsches, from 356s to the latest GT3s.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 23, 2O13 PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA • SANTA BARBARA REGION presents the Street Survival School For Teenage Drivers at the Camarillo Airport
IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN DRIVING – IT’S ABOUT LIVING! Only Licensed or Permitted drivers, AGES 15-21 are eligible to sign up. Register at: www.streetsurvival.org/school-schedule-registration/ The primary emphasis of The Tire Rack Street Survival® program is a “hands-on” driving experience in real world situations. We use your own car to teach you about its handling limits and how you can control them. Students are given two hours of classroom training interspersed with a series of driving exercises with a coach while driving their own car. Students practice various braking and avoidance exercises using a variety of cone configurations, and they practice controlling their cars on a wet skid pad. Challenging courses are created in a controlled area to allow the students to experience abnormal car behavior, and then learn the proper way to handle the new situation. This provides the students with useful skills to help avoid accidents, and to learn how to keep their cars under control in a skid.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2013 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Camarillo Airport Cost: $75 per student (includes lunch)
For more information go to: www.streetsurvival.org or call 502-649-4871
The students will become more observant of the traffic situation they find themselves in. They’ll learn to look far enough ahead to anticipate unwise actions of other drivers. As the students master the application of physics to drive their cars, they will make fewer unwise driving actions themselves.

Caravan To Carlsbad & Temecula Wine Country MLK Holiday Weekend, January 17-20, 2014 Come join us for our 7th annual January getaway on MLK weekend, 2014. This year we will travel to the beachside town of Carlsbad where we’ll stay at the Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort. Our hotel is located within walking distance of the beach and the quaint downtown of Carlsbad with its many shops and restaurants. We will depart on Friday January 17th mid morning from Westlake Costco (meet at 9:15 a.m. for 10:00 a.m. departure) and arrive at our hotel with time to settle in and enjoy a walk on the beach (or a trip to the shops) before we meet at Norte restaurant for our welcome dinner. Norte is located on the same property as our hotel. On Saturday we will set out for the Temecula Wine Country. Our first stop will be at the boutique Doffo Winery where we will enjoy tapas and a wine tasting while strolling among the owner’s collection of over 100 racing and vintage motorcycles. We will then go to the lovely Thornton Winery for a tour and demonstration of champagne making, followed by lunch paired with a variety of wines to taste and enjoy. The rest of the afternoon and evening is on your own to explore more of Temecula’s wineries, travel to the mountain town of Julian or return to the coast to explore the nearby beach towns of Encinitas, Solana Beach, and La Jolla. Sunday we will tour the Spanish-style Carlsbad ranch that was once owned by Leo Carrillo, best known as the Cisco Kid’s sidekick, Pancho. This property has been lovingly preserved and has the warm feel of early California hacienda life with its red tiled roofs, flocks of peacocks, and sprawling grounds covered with native flora. We will have a docent- led tour and will see the inside of many of the structures, including the house, which are not ordinarily open to the public. Sunday night we will enjoy a group dinner at Vigilucci’s Cucina which is a short walk from our hotel. The cost for three days, which includes two dinners, one lunch, two wine tastings, two wine tours, tapas and motorcycle collection, and the activity fee is $175 per person*. We have arranged a special group rate for the Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort of $150 per night with a complimentary Continental Breakfast offered on Sunday and Monday mornings at the resort. Based on availability you may upgrade to a premium room for an additional $30 per night. To make a room reservation call the hotel at 800-235-3939 and indicate you are with PCA Santa Barbara Region. Our room block is effective until December 15, 2013, so reserve early. Mail enrollment form and check (Payable to PCA/SBR) to: Jeanne & John McNair 1836 N.
