PRESIDENT’S MESSAGEGreg Lush

2015 Goal: Increase OCR Attendance at All Events!As many of you know, I started with the club years ago through the performance driving group (AutoX, DE, TT) and have had an opportunity to participate in many areas of interest along the way. Isn’t that what makes OCR such a great club? We literally have something for everyone. The trick seems to be to find which activity interests you the most for the amount of time that you have to invest. I can tell you that after visiting with other PCA regions and car clubs (e.g. BMW, Mini Owners (MOALA), etc.), those who have focused on one activity type (for example only performance driving, concours only, or social events only) quickly slip into a rut. Did you know that we are absolutely ecstatic when any OCR event draws a double digit percent of member numbers? If you take the Concour 2014 event, one of the best attended to date, we had ~13% of the primary member OCR population participate. Most of our AutoX events are in the ~7% range. So what is it?

Often my decisions are simply based on competing priorities and planning. My personal goal is to attend at least one event (plus the breakfast meeting) every month. Here are some considerations for those of you who are the “plan ahead types” and those of you which are “last minute” decision makers.

Plan Ahead EventsPerformance Driving: AutoX. You need to sign up within a few days of the first announcement to get into the event as they sell out every month. It is possible to walk on; however, you are really rolling the dice.

Drivers Education and Time Trial: also within the first seven to ten days after the first announcement, these events fill; however, they do not generally sell out (fingers crossed for the 2015 season to start selling out).

Multi-night driving tours (currently hosted by Keith Clark): after the first announcement these events will fill and start a waiting list within hours, so you must move quickly to get in on these 20-car-limit drives.

Concours: this is a funny one as it falls into both categories as we have a “wash and shine” class in the offering.

Last Minute EventsEating events: boy do we know how to hang out, chat about our common interests, and eat. It all starts with the breakfast club meeting (at Original Mike’s) to donuts (at Krispy Kreme) to burgers (at BurgerBahn) to just about everything at Woody’s for Porsches and Pancakes. All of these events, as with the other events, are posted on our calendar (pcaocr.com) and our Facebook page (PCA OCR).

Tours and Rallies: always a great time and where our four-door Porsches can dominate! Fun runs, picture rallies, etc. usually ending at a fun place for food.

Concours: 2014 we allowed drive-on cars for corral display. The lists above are just a sampling of events that occur within PCA/OCR. 2015 will be the year that we hit double-digit percentage attendee numbers at all events, I just feel it in my bones. How can you help hit this objective?

Welcome to the Pandemonium and I hope you are liking our new appearance and and enjoying our articles, photos, and advertisements. Remember, that we are quite happy to have articles submitted by our club members and, indeed, we have had several in the last few months to share. Your journey, or parts of it, are going to be of interest to someone within our club, and generally there is benefit from reading about another person’s adventure. So don’t be shy, get out that word processor and start typing away!

I also invite your gaze to our advertisers’ ads. Part of our service to the readership is to share the services and knowledge of our great sponsors. I have stated this in the past, but if you have work to be done on your Porsche, starting with a Pando advertiser is a good beginning. For starters, they wouldn’t advertise in our magazine if they weren’t enthusiasts, and you want someone working on your car that has a hobby interest for the best

outcome in my opinion.

I must also add the advertisers that we enjoy from other fields. Once again, you are dealing with someone who will have a shared interest and also, once again, this is a good underpinning for a business relationship in any field.

What’s Afoot?Sherlock Holmes used to say, “the games afoot Watson!” whenever he began to apply his mighty deductive powers to a case. In the Orange Coast Region we have many games “afoot” at all times! We do publish a calendar in the magazine every month, but there is also our website which is dynamic and is a great place to look for activities to participate in our club.

Many times we can accept “walk ins” at our events, so don’t feel that if you suddenly find that you have a weekend clear you won’t be able to participate if you haven’t put in a reservation months or weeks in advance. It is not unusual for our merry volunteers to say “come on in” and allow late arrivals a chance to be with the club. The more elaborate events need advance registration, but don’t hesitate to call or email the person noted as responsible if you have any questions; we are usually looking for ways to INCLUDE people not exclude them, so no excuses; come join us.

By the way, this includes those of our club members who may feel that because they don’t have a “sporty” type Porsche that they might not be welcome. In fact there are classes in Autocross for; Cayennes, Macans, and Panameras……only Porsche engineers driving excellence across the product line like this. And having been a passenger on a real racetrack in a Cayenne, I can tell you that only Porsche makes an SUV

that pulls cornering speeds that would put other manufacturers’ “sports cars” to shame.

The occasion I took the Cayenne ride on a track was not long after the launch of the car, or SUV. There was much buzz within the community about this new departure and, while my ride didn’t necessarily address the philosophical question of SUV and Sports Cars, it certainly did answer the question in my mind about whether or not an SUV could still be a Porsche! Yes, Virginia it can be so.

Roger Grago 1953-2014

We are very sorry to announce the passing of long time club friend and 911 R Gruppe member Roger Grago. Some of us remember Roger when he worked at Newport Porsche in the parts department and his always helpful attitude. I personally remember Roger on one of our wine tours in his beautiful little purple 911 R Gruppe special. On one of our drives Roger scrapped a hole in his gas tank and proceeded to a roadside repair which lasted till the end of the weekend and impressed us all with his skill. Roger succumbed to a form of brain cancer after a 4 year battle. His funeral and service were in January. Good by old friend.

Tires and AlignmentMake your Porsche more fun to drive!

Story and Photos by Guy Ankeny

During the year I will provide a series of short articles that discuss the benefits of performance suspension, tuning and upgrades available for your Porsche. These will include tire options, alignment, suspension setup and upgrades, brakes and engine tuning. This first article will discuss tire options and alignment.

TiresThere are a number of tire manufacturers that make quality tires for your Porsche. Their tires have a wide range of performance’ in both the amount of grip in dry and wet conditions, as well as how well they wear. Whether you enjoy a spirited Sunday drive or are an autocross/track junkie, there is a tire to meet your needs. Below I discuss a couple examples.

If you want a tire to perform well on your spirited Sunday morning drive and is good in the rain, the Michelin Pilot Sport is a very good choice. Quiet, reasonably

priced, good in wet conditions, are all attributes of this tire.

Do you want a tire that’s a more aggressive for those summer drives, autocross and track days that can be driven to events? The Hankook Ventus RS3 and Dunlop Star Spec are both tires that will meet your needs and are reasonably priced. These are great tires in 200 tread wear* category. These tires offer more grip than the Michelin Pilot Sport in dry weather. However, you are sacrificing grip in cold and wet weather conditions.

If you want the ultimate grip in dry and hot weather conditions with a DOT approved tire, the BF Goodrich R1R-S is a great choice. Great for tracking, where you’re running lap after lap, the R1R-S will just keep smiling. Although not as fast as a Hoosier A7 on the first lap, it does get close and will last much longer. The R1R-S is very “precise”. However, if you over drive these tires, it will not reward you. Tire sizes are

limited and thus, this tire is not available for every car. You can drive them to and from track events or autocrosses.

If you only care about laying down a really fast time and having everyone giving you “that look”, the Hoosier A7 group of tires are the only tires for you. It is easy to get addicted to the fantastic first lap confidence inspiring grip. While they are a DOT approved tire, the tread wear rating is VERY low. You do not want to drive these bad boys to events. You want to savior them like fine

wine! Hoosier offers virtually every tire size you could ever want, except the larger 16” wheel sizes. For 16” wheel sizes, they do offer slicks.

AlignmentMany use the term “alignment” and assume it is a simple adjustment. However, the alignment of your Porsche includes suspension angles that are being measured and a variety of suspension components that are being adjusted. Thus, “alignment” is not just a simple adjustment, but an important suspension tuning tool, and it influences how well the tires and your Porsche performs whether on the street or on the track.Now that you have picked a tire, make sure you give them a chance to perform properly. Tire pressures and alignments are instrumental in getting that extra grip, as well as saving your investment. It’s important not to destroy the outer edge of the tire.

If your car is “camber challenged” and you’re driving your car in autocross

This is a Hoosier A6. The Rock star of autocross and track events


or track events, you need to start with more tire pressure than the “specified” pressure (+5 lbs). Observe wear on the outside edges before bleeding down pressures as they heat up. Common sense and having friends, is always a plus. You want to use the whole tread face of the tire, not 110%. If the pressure is too low, the car might have seemingly more grip for a while, then taper off badly. This will be easy to see if you look at the tires between initial runs. You can see where the tire may start to “roll over” the tread face and onto the sidewall of the tire. This is where the grip drops off and wear increases exponentially.

Most new performance tires like 1.5 to 2.5 degrees of negative camber, especially on the front. “25” aspect ratio tires, probably not. Most of your “30-40”** aspect ratio will reward you with more camber without any appreciable decrease of tire life for daily commuting. If you drive your car mainly on autocross

courses or track events, negative 3 to 5 degrees will be seen on really fast cars quite often. Testing and observing tire wear is one of the main keys to finding speed.

Till next time. Have Fun! Guy

This is a picture of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Tread

*Treadwear ratings or grades are assigned by the manufacturers. The higher the number usually represents and harder rubber compound and thus better the tread wear.

** Aspect Ratio – On a 285/30ZR-18 the 30 is the tires aspect ratio or profile. It represents the ratio of the sidewalls sections height to the tires sections width.

Remembering my first Porsche Story and Photos by Malcom Baca

Twenty-eight years ago was the first time I walked into a Porsche dealership…there sitting on the main showroom floor was a beautiful 1987 burgundy Porsche SC with BBS racing rims, whale tail and a light beige leather interior…my heart begin palpitating in excitement. Up close the automotive workmanship and design radiated power, performance and beauty. Like Kenny Chesney’s song, “You had me from hello,” the fires of love were kindled. So in the spirit of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, “How Do I Love Thee” I will count the ways my first Porsche stole my heart. In a performance car, the accumulative criteria that tweaks our heart and senses includes safety, fuel economy, acceleration, agility, top speed, braking efficiency, reliability, design, durability, driving elation and quality.

Porsche lovers all remember that first time they fell in love with their car. For me, I had three early memorable

romances with new Corvettes. But it wasn’t till I bought my first Porsche that the “thunderbolt” of love, stuck me like a giddy teenager in love. I don’t have to tell this readership how Porsche owners beam with pride when driving a Porsche. It didn’t take but a few hours behind the wheel to understand and appreciate its superior performance, drivability and driving elation.

We all know, it is not easy to explain to a non-Porsche owner what makes them so special. The difficulty by analogy is like describing the taste of a strawberry to someone that has never tasted one…it’s impossible. But as best I can, let me describe the uniqueness of why my first Porsche will always be my first and last love.

At 6’ 2” getting into the driver’s seat with sufficient head room to sit up straight was an immediate improvement over the semi-reclined position in my previous Corvettes. Clicking the safety belt, the 360° usable window view ability in front,

back and side windows was remarkably superior to anything I had driven in a passenger or sport car. Usable unblocked window visibility provided a remarkable safety and drivability improvement over long-nosed front engine sport cars with smaller back window areas and/or large rear roof support post areas. Enhancing the improved glass visibility area was huge outside rectangular rear door mirrors. They provided a larger field of rear vision in conjunction with the central mirror.

In front engine sport cars like a Corvette, Viper, Jaguar, Austin Martin, Datson Z, etc, one sits in a slightly reclined position. The visibility behind the wheel of a long-hooded performance car requires more driving skill to optimize its agility capability. For example, to see pavement in front of my Corvettes, it took 12 feet in distance from the front bumper to see the first bit of pavement. In contrast, with my ‘87 Porsche’s slopped down hood you can see somebody’s feet standing 3 feet in


front of you. This is a big visual safety advantage for maneuvering agility and safety factor in driving when working slow or fast traffic.

I assume this would be true also in competitive racing. For example, the epitome of long-nosed sports cars is the new Mercedes AMG S (that is taking on Porsche’s 911 families) that looks like you could land an F/A-18 on its hood. The weight distribution visually looks the reverse of a Porsche 911…too much weight forward as opposed to a 911 that puts the majority of weight over rear engine area for optimal traction. The air foil on my ‘87 911 vertically aligned over the back bumper provided a constant visual reference and was easily seen from the big outside mirrors and central mirror…how sweet it is to always know where your fenders are. In functional addition, it reduced air resistance, increased fuel efficiency and, at high speeds, provided additional down force stability. Even though my Porsche had no turbo…it looked nasty and macho mean! This was no car you took out for a Sunday drive with your elbow on the window seal.

Before I go further let me state that I have no engineering or technical/mechanical background. I struggle with figuring

out how to change the batteries in my remote TV control. I marvel at someone like Lee Rice who is the Pandemonium’s technical writer and his minutia sea of detailed Porsche knowledge. So with laymen’s knowledge and laymen descriptions I want to shift gears to focus on what I had done to the car that provided a level of performance that grew my love for this car making it even more special.

With a blink of an eye in the first three

years of owning this sweet Porsche, I put 108,000 miles on the car. Every mile was a joy to drive. I so loved this car I decided I’m going to put a turbo charger on it. One of my friends said I ought to go over to Andial in Santa Ana. Ignorant me, I did not know that Andial’s proprietors, the late Arnold Wagner, Alwen Springer and Dieter Inzenhofer were living legends in Porsche performance tuning. Nor did I realize they also were maintaining some of Stuttgart’s racing machines.

Arriving at Andial, I met Dieter Inzenhofer telling him I wanted to put a turbo charger on my car. He, being a man of few words, asked me: “What is it you want to accomplish?” I answered: I want to be able to beat a Shelby Cobra 0 to 60 mph or, better yet, in a quarter mile (as I indicated in an earlier Pandemonium article, my speed and performance mentality was drag racing). He instantly replied, “For your car there is a less costly way to achieve your objective and not have to deal with turbo lag or diminish the long term reliability of your Porsche.” As I recoiled in disbelief, slightly pulling my head back at his answer, he replied: “You just need to rebuild your engine.”

January BrunchStory by CL Jarusek, Photos by Gloria Moore

It was a dark and stormy night...Well, how about an overcast and rainy day. The PCA/OCR Annual Meeting and Brunch was held on January 11 at the Tustin Ranch Golf Club. Yes, it was rainy, and we proved beyond a doubt that Porsches have windshield wipers. We also observed that there are even people that play golf in very rainy conditions. Not me, although I am an avid golfer; California has too many nice days to play golf on days like today!

Oh well, they probably didn’t bring their Porsches either.

The golfers may not have brought their Porsches, but Walter’s Porsche brought two beautiful ones to place on display in front of the Clubhouse. And as President Greg Lush stated, they were continually being washed by the rain.

This year I wanted to have a less expensive event with better quality food, so I researched many venues and came down to the choice being the Tustin

Ranch Golf Club. The setting afforded a great view of the green grass of the course and had recently been renovated. As a matter of fact, they were still working on it on the Tuesday before our brunch. The room was set up with 13 tables of 10 settings, and members had room to walk around and chat with one another. We had 125 members, associates and friends attend the event.

While waiting for the Brunch to begin, we were able to see the many things that were donated by some of our advertisers

Jennie and Eric Monroe, Lisa Taylor, Ed McRae, Tom Ridings and Delaney McRae

Todd Rhinegold, Dory Chilton, Vicki Billings, Doug Neill

Sandy Schwartz, Tom Brown and Cat Schwartz Gary and Marsha Labb, Norm and Carolyn Follis

A VERY SPECIAL


and other generous people for the Silent Auction. Peggy Huddleston did an excellent job of soliciting the great items, including a Porsche Pedal Car (a $500 value) from Circle Porsche. Thank you to all who donated the items, and thank you to the many members that bid on the selection, and a special thank you to those that won and purchased each auction item.

As required by our By-Laws, a short annual meeting was held, and the newly elected members of the Board... Secretary Monica Asbury, Member at Large Gary Labb, and Member at Large James Buck...were announced and installed. Congratulations to each of you, and we know that you will do a good job to make OCR one of the best Regions of the Porsche Club of America.

Ah, then it was time for the buffet brunch. Each attendee was given a glass of champagne or orange juice, and the attentive wait staff kept the glasses refilled. The buffet, which filled an adjoining room, had an omelet station, carved tri-tip, carved leg of lamb, snow crab legs, oysters, shrimp cocktail, deep fried shrimp, smoked salmon, a pasta station, jambalaya, bacon, sausage, assorted fresh breads and pastries, assorted desserts and an optional Bloody Mary bar. All seemed very happy with the quality and tastiness of the food and to date, I have received no complaints.

Following the filling of our stomachs, we were able to again go around and chat with other members and I was told by some, that they found new friends. We were also able to look out at that

previously mentioned rarity, California rain, and the golfers still playing in the raindrops. Bids continued to be made on the Silent Auction items until 1:30pm. Then the winning bids were announced.

Thanks to all that took part in the Brunch and especially those that donated, bid on and purchased Silent Auction items. Peggy informed me that the Auction netted $2,325.00 to go into our Charity account for the Semper Fi Fund. With the help of members, we have a good start for the presentation of our donation at the Hearts and Garages Tour next fall. I was also happy to report that the event also made a huge profit of $72.10.

Hope to see even more of you out to enjoy our Brunch and Annual Meeting next year.

Book ReviewThe Book of the PORSCHE 356Story by Bruce Herrington

The Book of the PORSCHE 356, by Brian Long, 2nd edition, published in 2008 by Veloce Publishing, United Kingdom. This is a classic book about a classic vehicle. The fact that this is a roughly ten year old edition of a 20 year old book, only enhances it’s value, because it is closer to the reality of the subject matter - vehicles that will soon be at least 50 years old. The 356 began as an exotic, rare vehicle. With time it became ‘an old, furrin car’. Now it has become a ‘collector car’. How appropriate it is that PORSCHE 356 is virtually a collector book – comprehensive, but old, and virtually out of print. Despite the title, it is more of a book about the company, Porsche AG, as it developed, manufactured and marketed the various versions of the 356, than about the cars themselves. None the less, blow by blow description of the subtle changes made to the vehicles provides a unifying thread to the narration. The text mentions US races and race drivers, as well as the European events in which Porsches (356s and derivatives including the 904), performed so well. Like most Porsche books, PORSCHE 356 begins with a description of Porsche’s early history, Ferdinand Porsche’s imprisonment, the Cisitalia project, the sawmill in Gmund, and the traditional reference to the Katchberg pass as a testing ground. In the ‘80s this reviewer had a chance to play Porsche ‘test driver’ on that road, driving from Gmund (roughly 1550’ elev) to the pass (listed as 5,384’ elev), in a rented

VW-Golf. With roughly twice the horsepower but less than 20% more weight than a 356, the Golf struggled with the twisty, paved, grades posted as 15%. I believe that the early 356s had to run on a gravel surface whichwould have increased the challenge on the way up, and the pucker factor on the way down. PORSCHE 356 is virtually a Time Capsule: the pictures are all from the 50s and 60s, and much of the text consists of quotations from contemporary motor sports publications. Included are interesting tid-bits on the origin of the “European” name, and a discussion attributing the Speedster to Johnny von Neumann (vice Max Hoffman). Max is given credit for assigning name Spyder to the early race cars. Contemporary quotes are sprinkled throughout the book, as well as excerpts from automotive publications of the time, including the following from a review of a 1956 Super in the 31 August 1956 Autosport: “That tail-heavy feeling has gone, and the average driver would not be conscious that this is a rear-engined car....” I guess drivers of later cars must have been above average, because concern about the tail-heavy handling characteristics continued at least through the ‘80s. There are roughly as many square inches of photographs as there are of text. The pictures have a way of looking old, as well they should – almost all are factory

pictures from the time. The dust jacket shot, repeated as a frontispiece, included in text and as stylized artwork on the back end-papers, has a very European look. Close examination however shows SCCA, PCA and possibly PCA Regional badges on the badge bar. How many remember badge bars? PORSCHE 356 consists of five chapters from The First Porsche to Last of the line. Informational appendices provide information on buying a 356; coverage of 356 replicas most (all ?) of which are no longer in production; technical specs on engines including engine code; year-by-year vehicle characteristics (not including weight): production figures by year and body type. Not structured to be a reference book, it does provide lots of configuration details and dates, at the appropriate point in the text, which might be meaningful to restorers, or even Concours judges. The text includes English and American factory prices for

Auto-X Awards BanquetStory and Photos by Mike Knudsen

In what couldn’t be a more perfect conclusion to another great Auto-X year, our series sponsor, Walter’s Porsche, once again hosted a wonderful awards banquet at its beautiful Riverside facility. The weather was unusually warm for January and we arrived just as the sun was setting behind the building. Inside, a hosted bar and scrumptious buffet awaited us. On the video screens ran clips that the Walter’s video team captured during the year, creating the ideal atmosphere, and a variety of Walter’s folks were there making sure everything went smoothly. After a few drinks and a trip (or two) through the buffet, we all sat down for the awards presentations.

Ed McRae, Walter’s Porsche General Manager, welcomed and greeted us all — 152 of us, and then introduced Walter Kienle, the “Walter” of Walter’s Porsche, after announcing that Walter’s Porsche had been named 2015 Porsche Dealer Of the Year for the entire nation. It was a kick to hear about Walter’s passion and commitment to our favorite brand. He noted that, by next year, there will be a new building for the Porsche business — a much bigger one. There’s much more about the history of Walter’s on their website, so go take a look.

Next it was on to the awards. While there’s not enough space here to mention them all, here are some that were special. First, Steve Eguina, who’s served as DE/TT Co-chair, will be stepping back and was recognized and thanked for his years of service. Next, Carl Vanderschuit as “Top Gun.” This is the award given to the top BRI score. BRI is a measure that adjusts for the type of car and class — sort of leveling the playing field. Then, Quynh Nguyen was honored as top driving instructor of the year. My award, for my work as Official Auto-X photographer, was a huge surprise, and I thank the drivers and board for their kindness.

Finally, a very special but somewhat sad farewell to the Auto-X co-chair, Craig Adams, who passed away late last year. His son and daughter were there to receive the special plaque, and Don Chapman announced the retirement of Craig’s number — 351.

Lastly, a final thank you from Don and Ed, and we were all on our way, flat 6’s behind us and stars overhead. It doesn’t get much better.

Story by Lee Rice, Photo by R-Gruppe

I received some commentary following one of my articles about some of the new turbocharging technology for the common automobile. Of course when I wrote that I knew it will apply to Porsche in some manner, but I was not sure in what capacity. Then, in the new Panorama and excellence, I saw something interesting.

Will this be the last of the 4.0L 500 hp BIG MOTOR engines?“Oh, the Porsche news... lots more. This new GT3 RS will feature Porsche’s “new”... yes, new... 911 engine. They say they will start using this in the entire model line. Hum? Whatever. Since they said ALL 911 engines will be turbo, will that mean there will be no further GT2? Now everyone will cry like babies at the loss of their n/a engines etc., forgetting that what they are driving is all electronic and their right foot doesn’t have anything but an ELECTRONIC connection to the engine! Someone needs to make that clear to them [hint]. They just THINK

their right foot is doing something... at least, those that are still working at learning how to drive with electronic blipping so they don’t need to learn how to double-clutch anymore...etc.” So what is the deal?

With full coverage in all the normal automotive ‘rags,’ there is no need to go into reprinting. See Michael & Andrew Cotton’s Panorama: European Windows January 2015 p44.

Briefly, Product boss Wolfgang Hatz quashes rumors, raises further questions (Hatz said that all 911 engines going forward will be turbocharged whether they wear the “Turbo” moniker or not.) The 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 RS will make its debut at the Geneva auto show in March. Porsche product boss Wolfgang Hatz confirmed to Autocar that the next RS car will be the first 911 powered by a new generation of flat-six engines.

Hatz didn’t speak to the power of the next 911 GT3 RS, but it will obviously top the 468-hp output of the GT3. It will

be naturally aspirated and is expected to lap the Nurburgring in less than 7 minutes, 20 seconds. Hatz told Autocar that the engine’s placement in the GT3 RS is an interim step, before it replaces the engines in the 911, Boxster and Cayman.

Perhaps more importantly, Hatz said that, “all 911 engines going forward will be turbocharged whether they wear the Turbo moniker or not. He also said that the 911 will never get a four-pot, flat or otherwise. A new four might come in the Boxster next year, and will probably make it in the next Cayman. The new mill will likely displace about 2.0 liters, though Hatz declined to comment on output or timing.

And to add to this is the announcement of the 2015 Cayman GT4 3.8 Liter 911 flat six.Will this be the 911 fighter so many Cayman wishfuls are dreaming about?

My thinking for PCA and PORSCHE is one of welcome relief. For one, the horsepower wars between automakers can only end up with drastic government restrictions as it did back in the 1970s, when they sold 400 Hp ‘muscle cars right off the showroom floor –to anybody. Back in those days, such cars were huge sedans with iron engines and transmissions. They had marginal (at best) drum brakes, skinny tires, and bench seats (which were better suited for sitting in a park than being in an

automobile). Those cars were nothing but gas hogs, and seeing them sold to inept young drivers, you knew some of those cars would end up being our supply of replacement parts in some junkyard! I would have hated to see a performance automaker like Porsche end up being restricted in performance by legal regulations again!

When I bought my 911 in 1971, it was powered by a small two-liter engine. Actually a 1,991 cubic centimeter engine, as the smaller than 2 liter engine meant less taxation. Porsche used clever racing/rally engine building to make a powerful and very reliable engine. These lessons lent to better energy use, better reliability, and were later able to meet regulations and still win races-all developed from the basic design.

Now I am now delighted to see Porsche taking a leadership role and dropping the big motors and starting fresh with a new smaller engine. How can Porsche not win by applying all their technology learned from 60 years of the 911.

PCA will benefit and every owner will as well. Today’s current cheaper fuel prices do not insure supply, and today’s prices can change at anytime. The mandated C.A.F.E. standards for fuel mileage are a reality. There is no argument that we all need to do with less energy consumption, but how is it going to happen? I had wondered if Porsche would be with the rest of the reluctants and would be dragging their feet to the end and selling lame, dull cars?

With Porsche taking this initial lead, THEY will be the first to prove it can be done efficiently, reliably and still be fun! This is indeed good news!

What do you think of Porsche’s future and does this story interest you? How about letting us know your thoughts...

Immobilizer Security... Or lack of. From the former owner of a Ruf TurboR. That is a 911 (993) turbo Ruf manufactured car. Setting your immobilizer on, is no safe bet against car thievery.

Years ago, some of the news around Christmas time was about shopping mall car break-ins. The thieves didn’t want the car. NO! They wanted the full shopping bags of Christmas goodies. It got so bad that the malls were using security on top of buildings, using two person teams (like snipers) to look for thieves who would watch shoppers and wait until the unsuspecting ones would ‘key’ their car’s remote. That signal was captured by the thieves, and after you left your car, they had your security code and only needed a few seconds to gain entry and enjoy all your shopping efforts-and your car -if they wanted it!

Those keyless remotes only broadcast your security code to anyone who is listening for it. The 993 vintage immobilizer system is no better and, in my opinion, is only a hindrance to the owner. Security of a vehicle is dependant upon the owner taking reasonable precautions and not thinking they are secure with only a factory installed system –which any thief already knows how to defeat anyway. Porsche owners must be involved and “proactive” to use a well-worn phrase! No one or two device system is 100% theft proof! But you can slow a thief down. Thieves need speed. Quickly in and out; gone with your car and contents! So how can you slow them down in some OBIVIOUS way so they will move on…

I think it is so foolish to NOT have a key door lock so the owner can lock and arm their Porsche without broadcasting to anyone the car’s security code and

method. Porsche really goofed on this one!

But being proactive, here are a few ideas proven well tried and used….

Something obvious, something that takes a thief TIME is what you need to help keep your Porsche, YOURS!

The first item to consider is a steering wheel to brake pedal lock. This is a sliding metal key lock that has one end hooked around the brake pedal and the other end hooked around the steering wheel. With the key installed it slides open and then removing the key, it slides closed and locked, locking the wheel to the pedal. It works. I saved my Sting Ray twice with one of these!

Flashing LED. Sure the factory installs these, and every thief knows more about defeating the immobilized alarm and LEDs that it came with than the dealership mechanics! You need a separate flashing LED flashing from a non-factory installed position. That tells a thief that something else, something unusual, is installed in their potential target. Most bad guys will move on.

However, I use a hidden position/2 position switch that does three things. The hidden switch that is accessible without drawing attention when activated turns on a very bright red flashing LED and also the second circuit opens the fuel pump ground contact.Without the switch being deactivated, the fuel pump will not run and neither will the engine start. [Ever notice how a cranking starter draws attention and a noisy car alarm has annoyed people walking right past without even looking?] Think on that for a moment. So with a simple switch-LED you can slow a bad guy down. Oh, and the third thing it does? Reminds YOU to turn the darn thing OFF when you get back in

As a new season of autocross begins, so does an opportunity to raise your driving skills to a higher level. Whether you admit it or not, if you autocross you are a competitor. You may compete against yourself, you may like the challenge of testing laws of physics, but we all compete against the clock, and everyone else in our car class simply because it is the most visible yardstick by which to measure our driving skills. Autocross is a unique activity because there are a number of things that need to happen in order for you to be successful. There is the car, skill of the driver, and the ability to identify and solve the challenges created in the layout of the track. Most of our tracks have a really good flow, but our designers are very strategic about putting one or two sections in that require some problem solving to figure out the best way to navigate them quickly.

As participants in the Walters’ Porsche Autocross Series, we are blessed by

Don’t change your budget, change your perspectiveStory by Greg Noss, Photo by Mike Knudsen

having an exceptional team that designs and lays out our courses every month. We have a fabulous arsenal of instructors who are almost always willing to take a ride with you or offer some input. Fortunately for us, our track design team integrates unique challenges in every track they create. For many of us this is challenging, but often it can be frustrating.

Autocross is unique in that you have very little frame of reference until you cross the timing lights at the end of the course. As an instructor, I ride with drivers of different skill levels, every month. Over the last year it became very clear how a simple suggestion to another driver could help them shave seconds off their lap times. An instructor adds a frame of reference because they have

a completely different perspective than the driver. From the passenger seat, the instructor can focus on things the driver doesn’t have time to think about. An Instructor or another driver can give you an entirely different perspective about where your car should be, if you should be braking in a different place or if you are braking when you should be accelerating. A second perspective can help you fix small issues with how you are approaching a specific course or things you are doing in your driving that are affecting your time negatively. A very good friend of mine who raced successfully for years always told me, “Fix the driver then fix the car.” What he meant by that phrase, is if you put an okay driver in the car with more power or a better suspension he won’t necessarily be any faster... his mistakes

Here is a great series of 3 images that show dramatically different lines on the same cone grouping


will just become more evident.

When you feel frustrated or like you’re having trouble breaking through a certain threshold, ask anyone with an instructor band if you can ride with them. You will get a different perspective from the passenger seat. Pay attention to where they place their car, when they accelerate, where they brake, and where they turn in. If they do something that seems different from what you would’ve done ask them why; ask them to take a ride with you and get their input. They may give you an entirely different perspective about how to approach a specific section of the track, and if they do and you really want to different perspective, have them drive your car. You may be really surprised.During this last season I was riding with another driver. During his run I noticed he was braking at two points where I didn’t think he needed to. After the run I pulled out a track map and asked him

why he was braking at those two points. He said he had to in order to make the turns. I had a different opinion and in the end he said, “Show me” and had me drive his car. He was really surprised because from the passenger perspective, he could clearly see I was lining up the car on a different line that made the section seem like a subtle transition. After seeing how I drove it, he realized I was able to accelerate through both the sections where he had been braking.

I have ridden with a lot of newer drivers that don’t realize how much faster their cars can go through a corner and maintain traction. By having a different driver drive your car, it may help you realize your car can do a lot more than you think it can. Even as an instructor and a successful competitor in my class, I am always looking for drivers willing to take a ride with me or let me ride with them. When I first started instructing, our chief driving instructor told me to

get in every car I possibly could, he didn’t tell me why, but now I understand it gives you a different perspective and that is very valuable. If you are fortunate enough that someone will let you drive their car, take the opportunity, having driven a wide variety of different cars over the years, I seek out different vehicles to drive because it helps me understand the differences between them.

Over the years I have learned you’re not done until you think you know everything, then you’re finished. A different perspective and insight will help you improve your driving skills more than you may be aware. Spend some time in the right seat, ask for input, and remember the best perspectives don’t always come from the guy with the best lap time or the smartest guy in the room.


Story and Photos by Garey Cooper

A strange tale to tell: a story of history, today, yesterday, and tomorrow, and into a realm of sight and sound (if not soul). The 2014 Goodwood Revival beckons to recall different times and different climes.

How it all beganAs a traveler and visitor of some note it happens that I’ve been so many places that it is sometimes necessary to return to where you’ve once been before, to really see it. If that sounds strange so be it. But, quite often when you visit something the first time it can be so overwhelming to the point that things blur. A second sighting can give some clarity to observe an interesting tree that you missed the first time through because it was so thoroughly hidden in the forest.

Because of this chance to see things in a different light with a return trip, I decided to ask Mrs. Cooper to return with me to the Revival. Additionally, 2014 was my first full year of retirement and that therefore I had a celebrants right to a major chunk of vacation time. Her first response to my logic was that I should remember that California was a “community property” state and that I should also remember our familial corporation included two Board Members of equal voting status, although her 50% added up to more than my 50%. After the corporate vote, we compromised with a stop on the “auld sod” of Ireland for two weeks of golfing before crossing over to “Merry Olde” for the Revival.

The Emerald IsleIreland is green. This is due to the fact that on any given vacation you will spend at least some time wet, cold, wind blown, and trying to keep your umbrella from getting to England before you want to leave. Once a week, a ship crosses the Irish Sea with umbrellas to return to Ireland that have blown over the week before. This weather is great for plants (flora) and golf courses, but paradoxically not for the people (fauna) that play on them. But Ireland is a great place to renew your driving skills on tiny lanes that are on the wrong side of the road. As well as Guinness on tap to assuage the drama of said tiny lanes. And let’s not forget that they have golf courses in abundance. Now I don’t want

to bad mouth Irish weather, many have done a better job of that so I will say that we also had some clear and sunny days as well as the wet ones. This time, more of the dry days than wet.

Our Irish rental car was a Renault “Fluence”, and no they don’t have those in the USA. Now that I have driven one, I know think it is probably for a good reason. Our car had been returned by the previous lessee with a little hidden quirk of popping the right front fender out of the holding tabs. Of course we didn’t discover this until the morning after we had rented this “voiture de France” and we were already some 150 miles from the rental site. Confronted by our hanging fender we decided that it was better to stop a couple of times per day to bang in back into place then it was to return all the way to the agency for a new “Fluence”. For all we knew, one “Fluence” was pretty much like any other anyway.

Merry Olde andthe RevivalAfter our two weeks in Ireland we packed up our wet socks and damp underthings and went across to England. This time our rental car was a Volkswagen Station Wagon, and an automatic. Both of our rentals were diesels, but the automatic was almost hard to get used to after stirring gears along country roads in Ireland. I kept reaching for the lever to shove it into a lower gear only to find neutral and amused looks from my traveling companion and navigator, Mrs. Cooper.

As per usual, the one thing we’d overlooked in our earlier planning was where to stay for the Revival. At least

Maxine T. Cooper on the links in Ireland

Somewhere beyondthe Sea


we discovered our oversight before we left home. Ultimately, we threw ourselves upon the good people of the Revival who recommended Chichester and correspondence with their visitors bureau. The Revival is VERY popular and almost everything single room, garret, and garage was rented out. But the Chichester people found us a “B&B” conveniently located next to the Goodwood Race Course, and promised it was “at least 3 stars” with “ensuite” facilities. Just in case you don’t know, “ensuite” means the bathroom is private and conjoined in your room. This is an important consideration if you don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night and bump down some unfamiliar hallway in your skivvies looking for the “loo”.

And so we found our B&B of “at least” 3 stars on a dark country lane and checked in…….and then dragged our suitcases up the tiniest winding iron staircase to a room in the peaked attic that allowed you to walk upright only in the middle six inches of the roof line. Other than that, a head bump alerted you to the fact that you were in a former attic, now turned to the good use of extracting money from visiting yanks. Our hosts charmingly insisted upon payment in cash, which meant a nighttime drive to a local village and ATM to withdraw said sum in Great British Pounds (GBP). Such nice elderly pirates, taxes and the non-declaration of income may have had something to do with this one me thinks.

Mrs. Cooper’s fondest memory of this B&B is when talking to the lady of the house, she saw a mouse scamper right between said ladies feet! Maxine jumped skyward and when asked why, she responded to having just seen “a mouse”. Our hostesses response was “good thing it is only one then”…….it does happen that where there is one mouse there are usually friends and family encamped as well. That meant the rest of the weekend part of my job

was inspecting all facilities for rodent residence before the entry of one Maxine T. Cooper, my dearly beloved. As has been said, some travel stories are “priceless”. Even if they do cost a few hundred quid as they say in England.

Can we finally get to the Reunion?Okay, so this year after some experience I decided that we’d attend Saturday and Sunday (Friday is also a day of races) but only rent a grandstand for one day (Sunday). This is because you can easily spend one or two days walking around the exhibits and parking areas with no particular need to rest except to relieve your feet or satisfy your appetite.

For your information my ticket package total came to 425.28 GBP. This is just around a million US dollars! Okay, it’s more like $650 US dollars, but you get the idea. It is not an inexpensive undertaking. This includes the general entry for two days plus the Grandstand cost for Sunday, and includes a program package that is actually kind of cool……

but as noted, expensive. This time around I chose the roving Grandstand package “Levant, Madgewick, Fordwater”. We selected to sit in “Levant” which is located at a further corner than the grandstands nearer the start/finish line. This was a conscious decision to avoid some of the Sunday crowd and it is based upon an observation that much of the real racing can occur at this end of the track.

This brings to mind that almost everything at the Goodwood Revival has a name and NOT a number…..not sure why but there is no “grandstand 6” or “race 6” for that matter. It is “Madgewick” or the “Earls Trophy Race”. Rather quaint in our digital world don’t you think?

Dress the partNow imagine a 100,000 or so people dressed in costume. That is the Revival. It is almost as much fun to watch the people, as it is to watch the cars. I carried on with my flat cap and spectator shoes as an American come over in the 1930’s

Several attractive friends I met at the Revival!

The Porsche Club of America cordially invites you to attend the 60th Annual Porsche Parade celebration in French Lick, Indiana, June 21-27, 2015. Our 60th Parade coincides with the Club’s 60th Anniversary Celebration, and we’re planning a series of special events at French Lick that will pay tribute to the cars and people who have made us the greatest single marque sports car club in the world. The 60th Parade will rightfully pay homage to the members and events of our past, but will also celebrate the Club’s newest enthusiasts who will shape our future.

Parade Registration will open to PCA members on Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at 12 Noon EDT. The best place to read about Parade activities is http://parade2015.pca.org.

For the first time in recent memory, we have not one, but TWO resort properties awaiting your visit, both listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The 3,000-acre compound also features three golf courses and a world class spa at each facility.

The French Lick Springs Hotel, established in 1832 and the larger of the two resorts, will be host to many of our familiar Parade activities. The city and the resort were named for an early French fur trading outpost and the nearby salt lick. They recently completed a $600 million dollar restoration, bringing many comfortable present day amenities to surroundings that are authentic to the mid-19th century when the current facility was built. It is perhaps most known for their medicinal springs – “Pluto Mineral Water.” The actual spring

is still part of their landscape, and the Gardens nearby will host our Welcome Party as well as various activities throughout the week.Known as the eighth wonder of the world, and just down the street, you’ll find the West Baden Springs Hotel. This resort is home to the most breathtaking feature of our combined facilities this year... a free-span dome, the largest in the world (until the Houston Astrodome was built in the 1960’s). An architectural marvel, this breathtaking Atrium will host our Concours and Victory banquets.

Our Concours will be held a few steps away through the covered bridge from the north end of the French Lick property. Rallies will depart from the grounds of the West Baden, and banquets will be held on both properties. The Parade 60th year museum, Hospitality Suite, Goodie Store, seminars and many meetings will be at French Lick. Both resorts have lots of parking and car wash stations.

Greg LushPCA OCR [email protected] People. Porsches. Passion.

I won’t even attempt or try to technically describe the upgrading and minutia of details that was involved. To bottom line the highlights of what Andial did, it included these major upgrades... increase cubic inches, installed hemispherical heads with twin ignition plugs per cylinder (I loved showing friends the 12 wire rotor cap), completely re-blue printed the engine and added a tuned exhaust. Awesome, unbelievable, breathtaking, amazing, tremendous…all these adjectives are inadequate in describing the improved performance…frankly “Holy Crap!” comes closer.

Let’s summarize the joy of driving this superb and beautiful performance car for 278,000 miles and never once did it falter. A stock 1987 SC specifications and performance were as follows:My stock 1987 911 had 172 hp, after Andial 240+ hp; my stock 911 did 0-60 mph inh 6.7 seconds, after Andial in 5.6 seconds; the stock car weight was 2,740 lbs; after Andial 2,618 lbs…without spare; having removed air conditioner

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

and with magnesium racing wheels, the stock elapsed time for ¼ mile at 15.3 seconds; after Andial 13.1 seconds.

In the most complementary way, my 1987 911 was like driving a steroid go-cart that responded like it was an extension of my body. Every day that I drove this car for more than ten years…was the highlight of my day for me. Even though it has been a privilege to drive a 2011 Turbo S whose performance makes my old 1987 performance seem slow by today’s performance standards, in no way does it diminish the joy and fun my 1987 911delivered for 10 years over 278,000 miles! Like Bob Dylan in haunting mystical lyrics for “Love and Theft” chanted, “The future for me is already a thing of the past, you were my first love and you will be my last”. In closing let me add I did have one opportunity to drag race a small block Shelby Cobra at Irwindale…Dieter knew exactly what was needed…in the deceleration area I almost swallowed my ears having just beat a Shelby Cobra.

your car.

AlarmsI’ve removed dozens of non-operational or broken aftermarket alarms from Porsches and almost all were wired in so poorly that they caused other problems and one even caused a fire! Any aftermarket alarm company should provide the owner with a copy of the alarm’s wiring system. If that cannot be provided, do not install the alarm!

There are newer cell phone-activated systems that not only can sound an alarm, but call you or a 911 operator and report that the car is being stolen and even report the GPS coordinates as the car is being moved. Consult with your insurance company and what ever you do, keep your security system secure. Loose lips have no car to drive!

One last thing to do asap is to reevaluate

RICE’S RAMBLINGS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21you insurance and especially your replacement values. All old Porsches have much higher replacement values than they did only a few years ago.


to watch sports. Mrs. Cooper adopted for the first day a more Victorian look, which suited her, as she is indeed an original American Princess. But don’t worry about possibly being out of place in costume, you are more out of place without a costume!

What do you see?In the first place you will see some breathtakingly rare machinery flogged around a racecourse. This includes Formula 1 cars of different eras, as well as early Ferrari Sports Cars, and the like. Some owners hire professional drivers for the event and they are told to “get on with it” which they do as if the cars were just fresh off the assembly line. The racing at the front is close and colorful and many times you can see cars that would normally only be in a museum driven at the limit, up to and including some slides, spins, and the occasional fender contact (ouch!). Where do you take a Ferrari 250 for some bodywork? I’m not sure, but I am sure you carry a bag full of money wherever it is.

Also, a part of the weekend is vintage motorcycle racing. I am proud to say a US rider of note, Kevin Schwanz, was a hero and star. Some of these motorcycles are so old they have leather belts to drive the wheels and sound like a long time smoker on an oxygen bottle. But they chug around the track in period jodhpurs and helmet and goggles going “hammer and tongs”.

My personal favorites are the Formula Junior and early 1-liter “screamer” formula 3 cars. Having once raced these types in my younger days, I can relate to them and their sounds and smells. So, with the open pits at Goodwood I always make sure to stop by and admire them when they are stationary.This was a Jaguar appreciation year and at one time on track there were XKSS, D Types, and all manner of

Jags in circulation. These are still fast and beautiful and I am sure there were some irreplaceable machines on track to watch.

Okay, so what else?There is an entire shopping area where one can buy vintage clothing, or vintage magazines, or even ride in vintage amusement park equipment. It is almost impossible not to buy something here, so I opted for some cool socks and a Polo shirt.

There is a preferred parking lot at the entrance that is reserved for vehicles manufactured before 1973 as I recall. It is almost as interesting as the interior and there are literally row upon row of automotive archania such as “Blower Bentley’s” and Railton to name but two. Many are for sale so with an imaginary pocket book it is fun to muse upon the possibilities to bring home. Me to customs officer; “Nothing to declare sir”….. at least not here!

Bangers and MashYes, you can. That is you can eat “Bangers and Mash” or “Shepherds Pie” or “Kidney Pie”, which the latter I do not recommend. There are various eateries around the field that specialize is all

manner of English food should you wish to go there. I personally recommend the Ales, but be aware not all are our low alcohol content type “beers”. Some are pretty stout and a couple will rob you of your memory and equilibrium without your knowing. I have also found the English Ales to be wonderful purgatives so be ready for this potential as with all crowded sports events even in mostly polite England, the wait at the Loo complexes can be longer than you expect. And NO ONE will give up their place in that line, whatever your own personal urgency.

A more lasting legacyGoodwood was the World War II site of an emergency landing field. This was really necessary for some pilots who had engine or other trouble that needed a local “set down”. It was very urgent for pilots and planes injured or damaged in battle, and as a field it witnessed many daring and wonderful acts of courage and rescue. Also, sadly it witnessed some tragic and violent outcomes to young lives. An American pilot flying as a volunteer for the RAF named Billy Fiske was one such victim. He landed his aircraft but died a few days later of burns, the first American of record to die in the larger conflict of “official’ World War II.

BRM Formula 1 from the 1960’s, waiting for the “off”!

SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE SEA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 33


With such a record, airplanes are an important part of the Revival. Several are parked near the still standing hanger, and are open for visit and viewing. Some are antique, some not so old, but all have a story to tell. So, you can stroll right up and touch history.

Several flyovers are scheduled during the Revival and this year there were flyovers by the only two still flying “Lancaster” bombers. One of them flew all the way from Canada to participate. That flight I am sure would be worthy of story on its own. As Americans we can be proud that some of the fighter fly overs are in airframes such as the famous “Mustang”….still a thrill and still the “Cadillac of the sky”.

The story is that for Goodwood as a race track, the beginning came when the old periphery road was utilized for clandestine car races by young men of adventure during the war years. I guess when death is a common concern, some outlets are necessary. This morphed

into an actual race track after the war when the need for the land to generate revenues was coupled with the shared recollection of those moonlit races.

To close, the whole Revival is a retrospective of really 20th century history as it unfolded around Goodwood. This includes motor racing and of course the “Big WWII”. There is a track parade of vehicles dating from the war period that includes of course tanks, as well as trucks, jeeps, and ambulances. It is most moving when those big Lancaster’s fly over and the crowd breaks out into, “Auld Lange Syne”. Not a dry eye in the place.

Bucket List? Yes.

PS. for those of you who contemplate such a trip I would be glad to share our information and discuss the trip anytime!
