ell, summer is finally here and it looks like a lot of great driving days ahead, especially for the top-down crowd. It is encouraging to see the number of people who are coming out for Cars and Coffee and signing up for the drives. To ensure we can continue to get together, I respectfully ask that you don’t get complacent about physical distancing and be aware of others at our gatherings.

area or drives in your own region. Past VIRPCA President and member Gary Glover has taken the lead on this initiative and documented many drives on the Island and even some in other regions. Have a look and if you have some suggestions, I’m sure Gary would be happy to hear from you.

One of the things that make our Club a success is the number of people that step up to serve on the executive and volunteer to help with events, and I want to thank them for their contributions. For future drives and events, including the 25th anniversary celebrations, we need additional volunteer help.

Please let me know if you can help us in any way. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

Led by Garth Webber Atkins, the executive continues to work on the development of the new website and are very encouraged by what we have seen so far. We also continue to plan for the 25th anniversary celebrations in 2021. For the anniversary celebrations, we would like to support VIRPCA members who have businesses that can supply us with Tshirts, other kinds of promotional items and See you on the road soon! prizes for events. If anyone can help us with this, please contact me.

hen you register for a Club event on MotorsportReg.com, please check whether you are WAITLISTED or not when you receive your email from MSR. Some events we hold will have waitlisting enabled and others may not, dependent on the event type and organiser. If you are waitlisted, it means that you are NOT confirmed to attend—you will receive an email if someone ahead of you drops out and you are then able to attend the event.

When you get close to an event location you are not sure of, look out for the blue Club banner(s) as shown below— but do not park too close as they are liable to fall over sometimes in the wind as mine did when taking the photo — luckily no damage!!

It took me until June this year to get my 944 on the road, a good month or two later than usual. Partly, I think, due to staying at home, and partly because it was due for a new timing belt. Not an inexpensive service item, and I don’t like to gamble beyond pushing a 4 year service out to 5 years, as I have. It’s done now and I have spent several enjoyable hours driving around the Saanich Peninsula to find the most interesting roads for the upcoming Saanich Peninsula Tour. I hope you will join me on July 18. See “Around the Bend” for more information.

The Executive has reviewed and discussed the suggestions members made in respect of Club communications. A main theme we noticed is that members like to share stories and learn about other members and their cars. One way we can do this is through articles in Porscher. Anyone can submit one, about themselves, or a trip they took, or something they’ve learned. Another new way we can connect is through Zoom webinars

PCA Zone 6 is one of 14 PCA Zones. It includes three Canadian Regions and seven American Regions. All of the regions have a Region Representative that is the main liaison between the regions executive and PCA National Executive. The current Zone 6 representative is Mark Prusynski (photo at bottom). Mark resides in Boise Idaho and has been a PCA member for countless years.

1. Porsche entered the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans with a veritable battalion of 934 and 935 variants. The winning car was a 935 driven by Bill and Don Whittington and Klaus Ludwig. A “production based” car defeated all the prototypes entered. However, race scrutineers almost dismissed the car from entering the race due to a “technicality”. What was that technicality.

2. What is this car?

3. What is unusual or noteworthy about this car?

Part 2 — By Mark & Shawn Titterton The Little West Coast Club that Could Once you actually find your way from the parkade to the hotel at the Boca resort, by way of numerous hallways and banquet rooms filled with vintage Porsches, clothing, video presentations, the KEF Speaker Lounge, and Porsche sand castles (artist just returned from Qualicum Beach sand sculpture competition), you get to relax for five minutes and investigate your room and the pamphlets that introduce you to the hotel.

The Parade committee does an amazing job of getting great rates for the rooms in famous hotels, but it’s clear that we are swinging well above our pay grade. In sensitivity to our members’ various wealth levels and willingness or reluctance to part with said wealth, organizers have sent out a list of local eateries, stores and pharma shops via the online Boca Parade App. If you are attending PCA events and they are offering the text app, be sure to use it. It adds immensely to the experience, keeping one in the loop.

Also, in the back of the Parade book is a list of hospitals, dentists and doctors. Now that is just plain good organization.

After our first in-resort drink and breakfast the next morning overwhelms our US dollar credit card, we print the local suppliers list using the ever-handy thumb drive for our cell phones at the in-resort business center. We also print the PCA Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) Rally guidelines from PCA.org to remind ourselves of the terminology and rules.

We usually enter both the divorce rally (TSD) and the make up rally (gimmick) when at Parade and the navigator is determined to better our past scores. The last TSD rally I participated in, my son Matthew was the navigator and we placed 16th in our class at Spokane Parade, with the “continue straight unVANCOUVER ISLAND — PORSCHER

Mark & Shawn Titterton less otherwise instructed“ rule catching us out and costing us a possible second placement. Rally masters are the true evil geniuses of the Porsche world and their motives should always be viewed with suspicion!

After raiding the local Rite Aid and Trader Joes for evening beverages and affordable snacks, we check in for Parade. The excitement builds as you collect your various packages, instructions and goodies and you wonder did we sign up for enough events? Too many? Or did we get it just right? I regret not bringing one of Shawn’s Porsche art pieces for the art show – either her stainedglass hood badge or her mixed media tribute to Monterey Parade 2014 would show well – but neither are easily transported long distance. Next time perhaps, if I can talk her into it. She is shy about her numerous talents.

This Parade we are registered for both rallies, the Welcome Dinner, the TSD awards ceremony, and the final awards banquet. In the past, we have auto-crossed, suffered the humiliation that is concours, done the 5K walks, taken tours, done ice cream socials and RC cars with grandkids, but at this Parade we purposely have a light load so we can explore on our own and also visit with JULY 2020 Page 19

It turns We slip away from registration to our room, out we need not worry as this year’s Parade overwhelmed with all the info and arms load- has an attractive, well-run, well-stocked ed with bonus goodies and paperwork. The store. Each day new items are displayed to booty is dumped on the hotel room bed and tempt us and, in the euphoria of Parade, we negotiations begin as to who gets what and purchase many unique themed items. After what will be jointly held. She Who Must Be all, what doesn’t a flamingo-patterned shirt Obeyed (SWMBO) is a skilled negotiator and go with on Vancouver Island? many valuable items seem to be 914 and Boxster bound as opposed to ending up in the 911 collection. It seems I am easily conned with the promise of future favours and my goodie pile looks pathetically small compared to the one on the other side of the room. Whoever invented “dibs“, and what is it anyway? I look it up when we get home and find it’s not actually a legitimate negotiating tool.

Once the rush of the acquisition of free swag has worn off, a new fix can always be secured at the Parade goodie store. Quite often in the past, one of the reasons for arriving early at Parade – aside from getting VANCOUVER ISLAND — PORSCHER

We convince ourselves into needing Porsche / PCA-branded everything and even buy the Parade 2020 Palm Springs prerelease matchy-matchy red 356 T-shirts in anticipation of arriving at the next Parade in style, not knowing they are destined to become collector items famous for the Parade that never was.

Zone Gatherings are a great way to reconnect with your zone regions, they usually are pre-dinner and are a casual gathering around a Zone-6 sign in our case. We recognize a few of our fellow Zone-6’ers from the Grand Tour and past national events but feel a little one off as Western Canada is lightly JULY 2020 Page 20

represented this year. We also notice that our long-distance award arch nemesis crew (Alaska) is quite well represented and, as the distance award is based on “as the crow flies,“ they likely win it again. Unfortunately, zig zagging back and forth across the States like a bad stock market graph doesn’t add to your score, so the almost 8500 km we’ve logged so far won’t help us in that competition.

From experience, we have learned that PCA’ers do take their themed dinners seriously at times. The Zone gathering is a good time to check out the themed dinner participation level and, if you find yourself being the only one dressed like a vicar or a tart (Bridget Jones ref.), now is the time to grab a newly purchased PCA sweater from your bag to cover your embarrassment. It is best to prepare for these themed events before departure or you will find yourself in downtown Banff in a western tack shop with pricing that caters to well heeled offshore tour-

VANCOUVER ISLAND — PORSCHER

ists (see Treffen Banff pics), purchasing clothes and hats only suitable for Stampede or private candlelight western-themed dinners. The Pirelli Welcome Dinner was just such an event with Miami Vice as the theme.

Pastel shirts and big hair abound, and a good time was had by all without a Ferrari in sight. SWMBO looks the part and could have been an extra in the original eighties TV series. I look more like Crockett’s wrinkled grandad. Fortunately the MV theme is popular, with many attendees pulling out all the stops, although I suppose it’s possible they just dress that way all the time down there.

We end most our days at Parade Boca in the KEF lounge with our old friend Philandria, who organizes the sponsor relationship between PCA and KEF audio speakers. If you are a lifelong audiophile, as I am, this is the place for you. As a proud KEF 107 owner since 1981 and owner of several “indisher rote” (sorry Guards Red) cars I can’t help but admire the KEF Blades in Porsche red. No

JULY 2020 Page 21

doubt, if I had a set I would just play 917’s exhaust sound tracks all day long. Drink tickets and music runs to the wee hours. We have never missed the KEF lounge at national events and truly appreciate the effort Philandria and her DJs put forth for PCA. At Treffen, Tamaya’s (Albuquerque) travel buddy Jacquie (of Al and Jacquie) won the draw for the KEF mini Bluetooth speaker, don’t tell her but I’m still kind of jealous.

We get back to our room as the clock ticks over well into the next day and I do my usual micromanagement thing that drives SWMBO nuts by double checking housekeeping’s work. I find not only are all the coffee pods for a Keurig, and the room is equipped with a Nespresso, but they are also all decaf. A call to the front desk results in a huge sanitary napkin bag (I try not to notice that) of more Keurig pods being delivered to the room which I don’t realize until the young man has left (see what happens when you don’t double check people’s work) so the Laurel and Hardy routine goes on for another hour until we procure the correct pods for the correct machine. Ever frugal SWMBO tucks the incorrect pods into various places in our luggage and they still serve today as decaf for those who want it at our place. I drift off hoping my foggy brain will clear in time for rally schools the next day at 3 pm.

DAY 12 RALLY TUESDAY

One of the great pleasures for me at Parade is watching others do the concours prep. I have learned over the years not to say “Oh, you’ve missed a bit there” as that is no way to make friends with folks who just washed between the treads on their tires. I remind myself to make sure I run the Targa through the car wash now that the concoursiestas are done with it. See, it’s not out of laziness I don’t wash the car the moment we arrive at Parade, as some have suggested, it’s out of deference to those brave concours types who need the room to rebalance their OCD personalities (you know who you are). Actually, in truth Parade organizers have given them an exclusive wash area, so I have no excuse, especially as the car wash is so well equipped with Griots supplies and highquality hoses.

We spend the morning admiring the vast range of Porsches, particularly amused by the 914 pick-up (below), watch a bit of the judging, drink a lot of water until the humidity and possession acquisition withdrawal sends us back to the grand room’s air conditioning where the sponsors are now in full display mode. We procure goodies for our friends back home and more for ourselves, some of the giveaway swag this year is very upscale. Porsche Design has an amazing display, and I briefly flirt with the idea of a Por-

We succumb once again to temptation and I begin to wonder if anyone makes an aftermarket roof rack for the 991 Targa. I still have an old wooden box my father built for his 1968 911T coupe that mounted to the engine lid for ski boots, and I chuckle at the thought of showing up at Porsche Centre Victoria with that bolted to the delicate rear bodywork of the 991.

After rally school I attempt to book a time for a Clearplex windshield protection film install, having had several close calls with rocks and our virgin windshield on the trip south. Unfortunately, the available booking times conflict with our scheduled events and the one day that is open we will be south on the peninsula to visit our youngest daughter.

Later in Texas I come to regret not finding time to get the install…

It turns out all to be fine, though, as in truth we have not even really begun to challenge the packability of the Targa. There is still room along the sides of the huge rear glass, the backside of the spare tire has a bit more – although the first aid kit and jacking tools are in there – as well the space of last resort is the rear passenger footwells, another four square feet Also, have you ever noticed how extensive the door pockets are on these cars?

We limit our intake and time spent at the KEF lounge that evening in anticipation of having a clear head and a healthy body the next morning for our 7:48am rally start time.

It takes about 20 minutes to the start location, a local high school that accepted a donation from PCA to let us use their parking lot for staging. Having pre-run the route to the school on Google, I congratulate myself on a picture perfect 4.5-mile drive to the staging point. It will be the last time that day We run over to Office Depot to pick up a new I think highly of my navigational skills until rally clipboard with a built-in calculator and we check the rally results much later that a compartment for the navigator’s rainbow evening. collection of highlighters, pencils, paperclips On a TSD rally the real work begins 20 and other tools that guarantee our route ac- minutes before your start time when you colcuracy on the TSD rally.

JULY 2020 Page 23

The rally takes us well away from Boca Raton to the edges of the everglades through pleasant country towns and pretty scenery.

All seems to be going curiously well as SWMBO delivers the route speeds and instructions. I calculate the extra speed needed to compensate for the stops and traffic and remember to add one MPH as our speedo is slightly out when on miles setting. We are doing so well we even sneak in a quick bio break at a gas station where a local hits me up for a few bucks to watch the car. Not wanting to jinx our luck I uncharacteristically flip him a few dollars and indeed the car is still there a few minutes later when we emerge from the little country corner gas station store. He is now smoking a cigarette so I suspect he may not have actually been guarding the car but had run off to the smoke shop across the way for ciggies… imagine that!

We quickly get back enroute and, just as we are feeling quite proud of ourselves, about a mile after the leg 3 checkpoint we see Porsches coming towards us. Usually not a good sign in a rally, but sometimes a trick favoured by some devious rally masters. Curiously the street we are on looks like a dike road and the speed limit signs make me suspect we have missed a turn as the ERMs (evil rally masters) would not likely have us driving at 20 mph under the speed limit. When the dead-end signs start to show up I become more convinced we have gone wrong so I suggest the possibility to the navigator and we diplomatically come to the conclusion that clearly I made an error. With alligators splashing in the water on both sides of the road we search ahead for a safe turn around. What seems like many miles later we get turned around and for the first time in days we use the full potential of the Colonel to get us back on track. We spend almost 10 minutes each way on this road and it’s only a guess when at the next checkpoint we hand in our first ever Time Delay Allowance slip for VANCOUVER ISLAND — PORSCHER

20 minutes. Incredibly, we are only three seconds off perfect time on that leg. Manly, on time, and not eaten by alligators – how do you like me now! (BTW, that’s a song reference from The Heavy or, for those of you with a bit o country in ya, Toby Keith). I be loving the Time Delay Allowance Slips, although they do feel a little “cheaty”.

We manage the remaining legs in what appears to be a more or less controlled fashion and the rally ends with instructions to return to the resort to turn in the time slips and be JULY 2020 Page 25

It is a very attractive obelisk design whereas our rally trophies (two of them) are unique 25 square inch pink replicas of the Boca Raton Resort. I leave it to the reader to visualize rally trophy packability and unfortunate loss of future shoe room suffered by SWMBO.

scored. We run into heavy traffic on one of the freeways and worry we won’t make the cut-off times, but the roads clear and we turn in our slips on time.

The results are posted later in the evening and we have to double check as we show third in our class. It seems unlikely to me, but SWMBO is pleased and I’m just glad we completed the rally in the same car.

We are doubly pleased at the TSD awards dinner to be called up twice on behalf of the Vancouver Island Region, once for our third placement in the rally, and even better for Steve Fairbrother’s well deserved first place in the National Newsletter contest, class 3. If you think upon this, you realize what an achievement that actually is, considering all the PCA newsletters across North America. I chuckle as I hear “hey it’s those Canadians again, they’re everywhere” on one of my trips to the podium. Steve’s trophy must be one of the most travelled newsletter awards VANCOUVER ISLAND — PORSCHER

Later, in the elevator returning to our room, another group looks quizzically at us. Aren’t you those Canadians who keep winning everything? They recognize us from Monterey Parade (Targa Raffle win) and Tamaya Treffen where we door-prized a huge PCA flag, but I think they are referring to VIR’s awards at this event. One of the great elements of having attended national events over the years is running into people we have met before. I am reminded of Keith from Ottawa who waited for us in the lobby of the Davenport Grand as we arrived at Spokane Parade. He had read our article in Panorama and wanted to share with us that his dad, also an RCAF pilot, had the scariest ride of his life in my dad’s ‘68 911 in France back in the day. I am particularly pleased when we meet him and Connie again while they are manning the car wash station at Boca. They are involved PCA members and volunteer at most if not all events they attend. Rumor has it they may move to Vancouver Island and I sure hope they do as they would make fantastic members of our little region.

rally was a loose collection of instructions that you can complete in your own order, with one throw away leg that need not be scored. It took us to a local Porsche dealer, where the clue was a beautiful donated pen set you get to keep and where you had to answer several questions around the property. Staff were helpful with allowed hints and it was great fun to see Porsches coming and going and folks finding and recording their answers to clues.

The adventure carried on to a butterfly sanctuary, the Studebaker museum, a famous ice cream parlour, a historic house and grounds, an infamous beach-side spring-break bar where the bartender’s mom offered us homemade lasagna as we plied for clues. For me the highlight was the fabulous if bizarre 88-acre Fort Lauderdale Swap Shop and drive-in theater. This place has the most incredible car collection spread amongst thousands of booths selling everything from shoes to gyros, which we enjoy at one of the small stands while jotting down our clue anVANCOUVER ISLAND — PORSCHER

swers and checking our cell phone pics, which are one of the ways you prove you were at a clue site.

The Gimmick rally ends at a fun German restaurant/Biergarten adjacent to the Boca resort where we turn in our score sheet, share our clue pics and find ourselves in the top 10 percent of those turning in scoresheets, missing only a few clues and misinterpreting a few others.

We dine on great German food with Jimmy and Carol whom we had met the previous week in Charleston enroute to Parade. The wonderful thing about the Porsche Club is the connections you make at and on the way to events. Even though we may not connect with all of our new acquaintances on a day to day basis, we will greet them at future events like old friends. Others have become even more permanent connections in our lives.

FREE DAYS OR TOURS? Having passed on registering for any of the JULY 2020 Page 27

organized tours in preference for doing some local exploring on our own, we visit the Boca art gallery, rumoured to have a collection of Modigliani’s (you know, the long neck guy). They are curiously absent, but we enjoy the outdoor sculpture garden and other displays. We also enjoy a few interesting meals at local eateries, including an Italian place walking distance from the resort, populated by what look like extras from the set of the Sopranos. We take advantage of some of our down time to enjoy a day in south Miami and lunch with daughter Heather who works as a nurse down there. It’s a 70-mile drive to the Palmetto area where she lives, and we manage to somehow misdirect ourselves into the Miami airport drop off area for the second time in recent years. Good thing I have made this mistake before and know how to get us back on track.

The Parade winds up with a formal dinner in the Grand Ballroom which culminates in a

VANCOUVER ISLAND — PORSCHER

hilarious and very competitive charity auction of unique “Porsche” surf boards. I speculate how great one of these would look on our ‘58 Beetle or a future 356 but am grateful that they go for prices well above our budget. Tetris packing is one thing but strapping a $10,000 surfboard to the semi soft top of a 991 Targa for the 9,000 km return trip to Vancouver Island is something else altogether!

We head south Sunday morning amidst the masses of departing Porsches and transporters to spend a few days of sun and fun dipping our toes and snorkeling in the opposite ocean. A nice family visit with some great Cuban meals and all too shortly we must head westward to finalize our quest in search of the lowest paved road in America, completing our vertical drive of 14,553 feet.

Final chapter next month: Will SWMBO kill the driver?

Well, we must say 2020 has not started according to plan. With this being Vancouver Island Region’s second event of 2020. Where has the time gone? Due to recent world events out of our control, we needed to find a “new normal”. More planning is required to have even a simple evening drive. The logistics of social distancing can certainly be challenging.

I must admit, I have missed eating dinner out. After the past 3 or 4 months of self isolation, it was nice to be able to have some kind of social gathering again. Everyone seemed to enjoy the ambiance of being in a restaurant once more.

truth to it but the rest is mostly If it hasn’t happened to you already, HOT AIR! when you purchase and mount a new set of tires on your car, you will likely molehear from the tire shop: “Nitrogen-is- Nitrogen better-than-air for your tires” ... and cules (N2) are “we offer the nitrogen-fill option at on- larger than oxygen molecules ly $$” (generally $5 - $20 per tire).

Nitrogen or Air in the tires?

The tire shop will tell you that nitrogen in your tires:

Improves steering Improves handling Improves braking Reduces the chance of tire failure Dramatically slows pressure loss But by how much? Well, a nitrogen from permeation molecule measures roughly 300 picometers while an oxygen molecule Improves fuel economy measures 292 picometers. That’s only Reduces tire oxidation a 2.6% difference in size. One picomeEliminates interior wheel corrosion ter is one trillionth of a meter (1 m / 1,000,000,000,000).

All 31 pairs were then set aside, outdoors for 12 months.

Their conclusion was that nitrogen does reduce tire pressure loss over time (12 months), but the reduction is only 1.3 psi.

Air-filled tires, originally filled to 30 psi lost 3.5 psi over a one year period.

Nitrogen-filled to the same starting pressure of 30 psi lost 2.2 psi over the same period.

Then there’s the claim regarding the reduction of internal tire oxidation because nitrogen is inert and oxygen is corrosive. I don’t think any of us have ever replaced a tire that had internal rubber decay because of oxygen corrosion. Although it is partly true – oxygen is corrosive, your tires will wear out many times over before oxygen starts to damage the rubber material. If this claim were true and oxygen causes rubber corrosion that quickly, what about the outside of the tire? It is exposed to 22% oxygen even if you have pure nitrogen on the inside!

More importantly ALL tires lost pressure, so consumers should check their tire pressures routinely regardless of the gas used.

Some people also will tell you that tires filled with nitrogen don’t change pressure as much with heat as those filled with air, or that tires filled with The air around us, in our atmosphere, nitrogen run cooler than those with air what we breathe and what is in most and that’s why most race cars includautomotive tires is a mixture of gas- ing F1, Indy and NASCAR all use it. ses.

Again, not true.

Air = 78% nitrogen + 20.95% oxygen + 1% other gasses ( 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other gases and a variable amount of water vapor).

At the temperature (150 – 250ºF) and pressure (25 – 45 psi) thresholds found in racing tires, both air and nitrogen will act as “ideal gasses”, meaning that they will react exactly the same So, already all of the above claims are to temperature and pressure. not true by 78% because going to pure The real reasons why most race teams nitrogen will only replace 22% of the use nitrogen gas in their tires are: tire’s internal volume.

To put it in perspective, one official ping-pong ball weighs 2.7 grams.

So, in essence, filling your tires with nitrogen won’t hurt anything and will provide some minimal benefits.

But, is it worth it?

Oh, I almost forgot. There are those that claim that since nitrogen is lighter than air you’ll save weight and have better performance.

OK, so let’s analyze this one, I mean, less unsprung weight is good, no?

The weight difference between oxygen and nitrogen is less than 3%, but let’s take the full 3%.

Absolutely — if you go to Costco or other shops where it’s a free service with your new tires.

But paying an average of $10 per tire is absolutely not worth it.

Furthermore it may give you a false sense of security where you won’t regularly inspect your tires. Remember, even filled with pure nitrogen your tires will lose pressure over time.

Didier Moinier was one of the photos chosen by PCA for their June 2020 Photo of the Month.

The photo may still be up on the website, although July’s photos may have replaced them. web.pca.org/index.cfm?event=potm.potmArticle

Congratulations to Didier!

1. The race regulations stated that cars in its class must have the windshield and rear window located as per factory production. Scrutineers quickly assessed that the rear window (see photo) was not “correct”. However, builders Erwin and Manfred Kramer had installed an upper window for aerodynamic reasons. The “second” (original) window was in its original factory installed position. Technicality be gone!

2. When it entered production in 1953, the 356 America Roadster was significantly lighter than the rest of the 356 series models. Created exclusively for North America, just 16 examples were built, weighing just 1334 pounds thanks to aluminum panels. With just 70 hp from a 1488cc flat four, it wasn’t massively powerful, but power-to-weight was still half decent. Built with racing in mind, the 356 America Roadster is a reminder that a 4cylinder Porsche isn’t that bad after all!

3. This is the ONLY street legal Porsche 935 built. It was built by Porsche Exclusive for Mansour Oijeh the owner/ sponsor of the TAG/ Porsche Formula One engine. A 930 was later “modified” for Canadian industrialist and Formula One entrant Walter Wolf.

Thanks to John Clark again.
