President’s MessageStory by Nicole Boggs

Ideas galore have been flooding the OCR towers as they relate to our charity. From the military to helping the disabled to providing resources for our local youth, we have heard about many worthwhile organizations. I hope you’ll take a minute to nominate your favorite local charity.

The OCR membership was very generous in 2010; at the March Breakfast Club we presented $7,000 to the Orangewood Children’s Foundation, subsequently helping Orange County’s foster youth. We have also partnered with them in several activities throughout their term where many of you became personally involved. Thank you for supporting our charitable events such as the Hearts and Cars Garage Tour, Silent Auction and Raffles. And for the time you so generously gave to those in less fortunate circumstances.

Charity is a very rewarding experience. As a professional fundraiser I like to say my job is kind of like sales, we’re selling a good feeling. I am looking forward to watching OCR’s impact in 2011.

See page for the charity nomination form.

What a year we have begun with 2011. There are some, what I’ll call Grand, events in store that you must not miss as they will only occur every demi-centennial. That is, of course, to say only every fifty years. This is because your club is in fact fifty years old as of 2011. One wonders if the people who began this group back in 1961 could have realized that fifty years later there

Remembrances of Cars Past and Present Story by Dan PittmanPhotography by Scott Chu Photograpy

Featured Member:

(Continued on Page 17)

All of us car people have certain cars we remember. My wife Anita and I are no different. There were many cars along the road that led up to our 2009 Porsche Carrera S. Here are a few memorable rides that we enjoyed along the way.

Early on, watching my Dad do battle with the local Chicagoland Chevy or Olds dealer taught me two things: First, you can fight for the best price, be ready to walk away and maybe even get in a lick or two. And second, you can’t really beat them at their own game. But it’s the car you want, so going through the sales process, however painful that can sometimes be, is just the means to the end.

My first car was a well-worn 1959 Plymouth Belvedere my Mom bought for me in 1965 for $300 from a friend of our family. It was a faded white car with a goofy push button transmission, rusty side panels showing the effects of snowy weather and the rock salt used to melt it and a snazzy continental kit on the trunk lid. The seats were torn and the entire interior reeked of cigarette smoke. I loved it! It meant freedom for a 17-year-old and a definite step up from my 10-speed. With the addition of some red seat covers and seat belts at my Dad’s insistence, it was ready to roll.

Unfortunately, life was short for the Plymouth. One afternoon I coaxed

my Mother into the car to experience a burnout. We belted in. I put on my driving gloves, fired her up, floored the accelerator and punched the drive button. A sickening clunking sound let us know that the transmission was toast. Telling the Old Man was no easy task but Mom softened the blow for me. Especially wonderful given that she was out $300.

Fast forward to 1967. Gas was averaging 33 cents a gallon, the Beatles were on fire and I was behind the wheel of a brand new Pontiac GTO. My Dad negotiated a great deal on this goat. The revamped 1968s were on the showroom floor and the dealer needed to dispose of what he had in stock. A bit of a compromise, the GTO had cool bucket seats but a not so sporty on the column automatic transmission. Still, the car’s 400-cubic-inch engine, rated at 335 hp at 5000 rpm, left in a hurry and got me where I needed to go in true muscle car style. I remember watching the speedometer and gas gauge practically meet in the middle as the needles on the speedometer moved to the right and the gas gauge moved to the left.

Incidentally, Anita got her license after taking the driving test in her brother’s black 1958 Chevy Impala. She recalls it was lowered, with baby moons and gold webbing on the dash. The driver’s side window wouldn’t roll up so it was fortunate that she took the test in the summertime.

After that, she received a series of hand-me-down cars and even hand-me-down motor oil as her Dad and brother would drain their oil and recycle it into her engines.

Memorable car number three for me was a 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1. Bold black stripes set off the white side panels and doors. I thought the blue interior and chrome shifter really made the car look cool. Unfortunately, soaring fuel and insurance prices, along with the addition of emission controls and safety equipment that collectively brought the muscle car era to an end, made this car look better – at least to me - than it could ever perform. One other point, after having dinner for the first time with my future wife, we walked out to our cars only to have her think, “Yuck, he drives a Mustang.” Incidentally, she then stepped into a 1964 Chevrolet Corvair. I’m pleased to say our cars improved over the years since that revealing moment.

The Mustang exited stage left for a 1978 280 Z. That was one neat car. It was a burgundy coupe with a black interior. You could raise and lower the radio antenna with the push of a button. The car was priced at nearly $10,000. Driving that car, working in Newport Beach, living in Corona Del Mar and, most of all, dating a beautiful brunette made me feel like I was on top of the world.

In 1984, we leased an Audi 5000S. It looked like the future on wheels.

Snowy weather and rock salt kept my Dad heading back into the Chevy dealer about every three years

“Amazing! I didn’t think it was possible to make the seatslook like new!” (Barry, Fullerton)

Pioneer Leather Restoration, Inc. pioneerleather.com Office (714) 997-9842 Cell (714) 381-7993

Barry was just like many of you; he loved his car and wanted it to look its’ best and was disappointed with the way his leather seats looked. They weren’t in bad condition but they were showing the signs of wear. He didn’t want to spend the $1500.00 + labor* or more that it would take to replace the leather and so he thought he would just have to live with it. Hedidn’t and neither do you! He called Pioneer Leather Restoration, Inc. Since his leather was in good condition except for the appearance, we came to his home and re-applied the finish coating that is found on all upholstery leather. Three hours and $295.00** later you see what his reaction was.

Call today to make your Porsche leather seats look like new and, as a bonus when the work is performed, mention this ad and we will give you for free a leather cleaning and condi-tioning kit (A $12.95 value). All work is guaranteed.* Source GAHH Upholstery ** Prices may vary by vehicle. Call for a free estimate.

Story by Jerry Griffin, Chief Driving Instructor Emeritus

Porsches to Corvettes

Porsche and Corvette Comparison at Autocross February 14th

Corvette Magazine came to our February Autocross to take shots of my Corvette in the early morning sun with the autocross course behind. I had written a short article on my ’96 Corvette that drew their attention. They plan to do an article on my family’s (6 plus five close relations) love affair with Corvettes, plus they like the idea of somebody driving the Corvette hard. Kind of like Ferry Porsche would approve of the way we use Porsches in autocross. I took the opportunity to have BOTH cars at the autocross as I have never run the Corvette at a timed event and this was the opportunity.

I have owned my ‘78 911 SC AX since November 1997. I purchased it from the President of the San Diego Region PCA, Bill Smith, who had me autocross it before I paid him for it. Although I intended to build the motor and improve the brakes, ( I had sold my ’73 914 1.7 since I couldn’t get more than 76 hp out of it smog legal - and

selling it was a big mistake) I have never done anything but tweak it and the car is still better than I am.

My 2008 Corvette is the base model with the smallest of three engines at 430 horsepower- versus 505 and 638 horses. I have used the Corvette for driver clinics, for student thrill rides, or DE’s(Driver Education) with no times but I have really never tried for best times and have paid little attention to car control. I have what is called R1 rubber tires on both cars, which means better traction than any street tires offer. The 911 has 255 and 305 section width versus 295 and 335 for the Corvette. And the tires

(the biggest performance improvement you can make on any car) are Toyo RA1, R888 or Nitto NT01’s. All three are the same rubber compound, the Nitto being the Toyo economy brand with 6/32’s vs 8/32nds tread depth at 2/3rds the price. These are not the stickiest but last the longest for

those of us that drive to the track on our racing rubber.

The 911 has been my Labrador (read that my trusty and reliable companion) with which I have a long-lasting 13 year love relationship, having displaced my 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 406- 405 HP from my dreams. The Corvette (and the ‘78 and ‘96 before) is my daily driver with good AC, fuel economy (30 mpg on a Phoenix

run), and more like a Pit Bull relationship. My Corvette has a quick fuse and flaming personality and I wonder when it will get me in trouble. But the Corvette is also quiet, comfortable and can act like a living room sofa with the stereo to match, even with XM radio for entertainment. It can loaf around in traffic all day and not complain, but I have to remind myself

how easily it can go 100 and make myself use the cruise control so I don’t lose my license. If I’m not careful and don’t pay attention, it can get out of hand in a hurry. The 911 is old school with no AC (anymore), rough riding and noisy, but willing to run with the best of them in spite of her age. She puts her whole heart into anything I ask and never complains. Her 200 horsepower feel more like 300 and I can trust her to take care of me. Heck, I rarely worry about speeding because at 50 I feel like I am going 100. If I am speeding I know it and deserve the ticket. But she is red and gorgeous and with that turbo body, boys lust after her. I see them turn and follow her with their eyes. Especially the cops. So, I am careful. Usually. I feel like either car would make a cop feel justified in writing me a ticket because even if I weren’t speeding at that particular time, he/she would know I must have recently, and deserve it. And they would be right.

But I digress. AutoX is my way of getting my car/driving fix so I don’t get dangerous on the road. Where else can you use full throttle, slide a car around, use full brakes and lose control without any danger to anybody, your car, or yourself? The entrance fee of $60 and the wear on the tires are the major expenses. As long as I stick in these low speed events (most are less than 60 mph, although a rare few can be over 100) I

2008 Blue Corvette took on the Porsches

OCR’s newest AutoX ‘er, Amelia Budai , and her BMW 325i

On Saturday the 12th, Walter’s Porsche in Riverside, hosted our first of the year PCA OCR’s Driver’s Control Clinic This special event was held at El Toro Fields and we had the most students ever... a whopping 65. We also had 33 PCA instructors plus 5 additional AX team members for instructors, another landmark achievement. We had recently completed our AX instructors training course, the week before, and give a big thanks to all who attended. They have moved up from participant to AX Instructor. Our club now has sufficient instructor strength to really hold our own without needing to call on the San Diego Region or the SCCA to help out. Of course, we do still appreciate their attendance and help. I bet our instructors jumped into 40-50 cars each. We were all very tired at the end of the day; but a good tired.

There were four areas of activity in the Control Clinic: (2) wet skid pads, (2) wet pitch -n- catch figure 8’s, accident avoidance: throttle steering - threshold braking and a slalom-linked turn course. The wet skid pads gave our drivers a chance to experience controlled sliding and if they were lucky... a gentle spin. The wet figure 8’s helped show the drivers the technique of slow in - fast out. Many

students came in just the opposite, fast in .... then slow out. “ Well... see that cone you past up? Yep, you were supposed to go around it. Let’s try it again! Brake, turn and go ! That’s it!” The slalom was an area where they could feel just how their car transitions from turn to turn and how it takes a fine touch on the wheel, no gorilla driving here. Most drivers have never performed these maneuvers before so it was fun to watch their progression through the day. The exercises were greatly educational for everyone who participated and only made a few of us sick. It was interesting to see the wide variety of students.... from the kid driving his parent’s Cayenne to the seasoned owner navigating an older 914.

We all had a good time and after a pizza lunch, the students got a taste of AutoX on a mini track; a low speed version. At this time, students learn to connect all the track elements into one smooth run, which sometimes is not as easy as it looks. A slight bauble or hesitation becomes, “oops... that didn’t work out, I won’t do that again.” After this much fun and interest, we are greatly encouraged and are considering a second driver clinic this year.

We would also like to give thanks to all the hard working CDIs and instructors who put in thier time:

would say the Hoosiers are 2 seconds faster over the best R1 tire on a typical 1-mile autocross track. Sunday was no exception. All the players were there gunning for top time of day or best in their class. We in the PCA contingent hate to have a non-car, oops non-Porsche (this is a Chuck Bartolon faux paux), get top time of the day. But it does happen. Those darn Corvettes have so much bottom end torque, they leap out of the slow turns. The poor Porsches can’t or won’t downshift into first, so we are at the bottom of 2nd and those 6+ liter V8’s just get down and boogie while the little flat 6 takes some time to get into its power band. I know from experience that on Fontana Steve Eguina’s GT2 is so astoundingly fast that the Corvette would have its tail between its legs. But on an AX that is a different story. The Corvette can rule the roost. Sunday, we had Carl Vandershuit with his 99 Boxster with a 3.4 Cayman motor implant and Michel Oest with his GT3 also gunning for the top slot. This was a great day! Many of us have our favorite competitor, maybe even in a different class, but usually a

have low cost and minimal chance of damage to the car. If you go to bigger tracks with DE’s and time trial formats there are often hotel/travel expenses, greater risk to the car mechanically and cosmetically and some risk to your body. For example the PCA Speedfest in Fontana this April 8-10 is three days of driving with over 250 miles on the track and most cars are either flat out on the accelerator or hard on the brakes. My 200 hp gets me to 125 in the straight and near 100 two more times. The first year I did this I had to replace the clutch due to lost temper in the pressure plate springs and the fifth year I lazily put my poor 911 in second gear at 90 and bent every valve in her heart. But she had 200K miles and needed rebuilding. She just didn’t act like it. This type of event is why the government allows us to have 401K’s. But I have had a LOT of fun on this track and love to be on it.

By the way, we often have a great competition in our monthly AX’s between the Porsches and Corvettes. A really fun contest has been between

Steve Eguina of FMC Mortgage, sponsor of many of our events, and Steve Abbot, one of our helpful SCCA instructors. Because of his many contributions to our AX program over the last 4 years, he was awarded our coveted “Instructor of the Year” at our January awards party at our main sponsor Walters Porsche in Riverside. I can remember several times when they had less than a tenth of a second between them. Steve Eguina’s GT2 is sponsored by GMG (another AX sponsor) and Racing Lifestyles (Steve Eguina’s son Mike’s company) another sponsor. You get the idea. But the GT2 is unknown horsepower (700? Plus or minus 100 with racing gas or not). The Corvette is a stripped lightweight 2765 pound 1999 FRC (fixed roof coupe) with a crate Z06 405 hp motor, 411 gears and bigger Hoosiers than fit in the fenders. I bet 295 and 335 like mine. Hoosiers are thought by most to be the best tire for a short time of running but wear out really fast (read that really really fa$t, like 40 autocross runs, or 50 miles on a track- much longer on big tracks with smooth surfaces, but still really fast compared to R1 tires). Most experienced racers

Feature - Remembrance of Cars (Continued from Page 8)

Our all time favorite

Another of our many white cars, this one had a chocolate brown leather interior. Unfortunately, the Audi was a disaster. Just about everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Let’s see, the driver’s side window stuck and had to be broken out, the radio antenna stuck and had to be replaced, the radio conked out, one time the hood flew up all by itself on the freeway and it went on and on. It seems like just about everything failed and had to be replaced. Then there was that unintentional acceleration problem. We never experienced it but Audi was badly hurt by it. To the dealer’s credit, they fixed everything but I came to know the service writers and their families a little too well. Ironically, after we turned the car in early, I heard that one of the service guys bought it!

Up next is the 1988 Fiero GT we bought for Anita. It was a great little car with a huge following of loyal owners. We both loved its futuristic styling and peppy V6 engine. The car was fire engine red and received a lot of second looks on the street. It was too bad GM canceled the Fiero just as they got it right. We traded it on a used Mercedes E320.

Ever since I was a kid, I was impressed with Jaguar XKEs. There were only a few in our neck of the woods so spotting them was a treat. That long cigar shape and dashboard with toggle switches was a turn on. Once while on a family vacation out West, I can recall seeing an XKE fly past our reliable Chevy and careen down a windy mountain

road. Then when we got to Universal Studios, I spied another XKE parked near one of the bungalows. Must be a star’s car I thought.

So when I had the chance to own a Jaguar with styling cues that could be traced back to those iconic E Types, I jumped at the chance.

Actually, we had two. In 1999 I launched our public relations business and

rewarded myself with a new XK8. It was a rare beauty; lustrous black paint with golf flecks. More wood on the dash than you can find in a lumberyard. And had sumptuous leather seats. Someone called it a rolling British men’s club. My friend said, “You could eat it with a spoon.”

In 2004, we traded up to an XKR. This one was black with beige leather interior too. The XKR had a 390 hp-supercharged engine. I remember an automobile reporter saying that the supercharger sounded a little like a teapot on the boil when you put your foot into it. The salesman at the dealership warned me not to risk getting a speeding ticket. Never did. But it got us places quickly.

And finally we get to Porsche. I started liking them back at USC when I would see them parked on campus. I was still driving my Mustang in those days so you can imagine my desire to try on one of these. We used to refer to them collectively as sinister black Porsches, though I never thought we’d get one. But when the lease was up on the Jag, we thought it was about time. That old saying, “you’ve tried the rest, now try the best” came to mind.

Keeping the Old Man’s car-trading skills at the ready, we had a surprisingly easy time of it with the guys at Circle Porsche in Long Beach. They found the car we wanted on their system and gave us a shout to come in for the negotiations. My heart only fluttered for a moment when our salesman, Matt Tompkins,

We were into red cars in those days with a 1988 Fiero GT and a 1987 Audi

pointed to a racy black 911 parked in the showroom and said, “That’s your car.” Maybe an hour or so later we signed the papers and they flipped us the keys to our 2009 911 Carrera S.

I think the most memorable part came when Matt asked whether we preferred white or red wine. Well, this is cool, I thought, but is it a good idea to have a glass of wine and then drive off in a brand new Porsche? Turned out Circle only wanted to give us a bottle of wine with a Porsche logo as a memento of the occasion.

But take my word for it; we celebrated when we got home. And today, we continue to enjoy the heck out of our little unser libeling – our all time favorite.

Our Audi 5000S looked like the future on wheels, but brother did it have its problems

The Sweet Heart Tour:

(Continued on Page 21)

Armand started the “Sweetheart Tour” with his famous whistle, which does manage to bring the 32 or more people and sixteen (16) cars to respectful attention. He gave us the general driving orders, made sure he had a sweeper car and then barked, “Saddle up.” The engines fired up and the line of cars moved out. We headed east on Chapman

Avenue to Santiago Canyon Road where we followed a fast-moving Santiago Creek. Orange County’s backcountry not only has some great roads but also some interesting history. We drove past the “hanging tree” where the Flores Gang was

strung up for murdering Sheriff Barton and his posse.

We continued on Santiago Canyon Road until we reached Silverado Canyon. The canyon is absolutely beautiful at

this time of the year. This was mining country in the 1800’s and there are still lots of abandoned mines in the area. It was great to see Silverado Creek swollen and running full. When we were in the canyon, the sun burst out and with rain still falling all heads were cranking to see if rainbows could be spotted. Alas, we could find none, so all eyes turned back onto the curving road. It was thrilling to drive through the Scrub Oak canopy that enfolded the road. Those oak trees had so much mistletoe hanging in them we

were sure Armand staged this because, after all, it was the “Sweetheart Tour.” We were really enjoying the rustic town of Silverado when interruption struck us. Ron had a flat tire, so the sweeper and 3 additional cars stopped to help him out. There was no cell service in the canyon and we were all stumped. Then, to our rescue came a Silverado Canyon resident with his walkie-talkie. He called Porsche roadside service to save the day.

The cars that did not have a flat tire continued on to Modjeska Canyon. In this canyon we were thrilled with the olive tree canopy covering the road. The canyon was green and beautiful. Because the recent rainstorms had washed out a few roads, there was an ambiguous “Road Closed” sign posted on Modjeska Grade Road. Some of us went up this road (correctly) assuming it meant only the oncoming lane was closed. We were rewarded with some great winding road but soon discovered that half of the road had been wiped out by the rains.

On through Live Oak Canyon with its fabulous Oak Canopy, past Holy Jim Canyon, over a flowing Trabuco Creek

(“trabuco” means blunderbuss and the canyon was named because one of Portola’s soldiers lost his blunderbuss in that canyon), out Trabuco Canyon Road and, using a combination of surface streets and freeway, we ended up at the Back Bay Ecological Preserve and enjoyed the beauty of that two-mile drive.

A wonderful morning was capped off with lunch at Pelican Hill where Armand knew everyone. We enjoyed fabulous views of the Ocean and the resort as we dined. Thank you, Armand!

That title question really seems to be the most common thing asked by new Parade attendees… what is this Concours thing all about? Well, I guess it might be considered one of those questions where the answer depends on your perspective. If you have an autocross perspective, then the “Q-tippers” are slightly off their rocker and the display is just a nice way to spend the day before the autocross starts (other than the race cars on display of course!). To the Rally folks, the display is a little more palatable, but if you are going to spend that much time with your car you should at least include a few calculations to correlate the speedometer with your GPS. I’m not even going to discuss the Tech Quiz only crowd…

The Concours can be as simple or as complicated as you like, from a nice display of Porsches to enjoy on a beautiful summer day to the last details of restoration perfection, and anywhere in between. The Parade Concours is the premier Concours event of the year for PCA; a truly awesome display of over 60 years of Porsche history in America and beyond. The Parade location this year is Savannah, Georgia, a charming destination city that is sure to provide you with your fill of pralines and peanuts once you have had enough of the Concours.

For the first time in the Park’s history, an automotive display will be allowed on these grounds, courtesy of

the 2011 Parade Concours. Porsche Club of America members will stroll the lawns and gardens festooned with possibly the

finest display of Porsches in Parade history. Reds, Blues, Yellows and Blacks will add to the Green of Forsyth Park, as Porsches in all shapes and sizes converge on the grounds. The Monday event is open to the public and will be buzzing with activity all day long.

Featuring over a hundred cars, the Concours will display competitive vehicles in classes, divisions and groups in four major areas:

Preparation, Preservation, Restoration and Performance. The crowd favorite Historic Display should feel right at home in this location as well! And if competition is not your thing, the Corral is another possibility. Several hundred Porsches will be displayed (grouped by model) in the non-competitive Corral. To join this collection of Porsches, you just need to submit a regular entry to the Parade before registration closes…but if you can’t bring your Porsche and want to view the Concours, just bring yourself as this event is open to the public.

The four groups of cars are grouped in roughly the following criteria (memorize this to impress any innocent bystander at Forsyth Park that asks the “What’s this Concours thing all about…” question)

Preparation- This is the group comprised of mostly newer cars, they are being judged on how well prepared they are (ie-clean). There is not as much emphasis on originality as there us on how completely free of dirt the car is, so watch out for those Q-tips!

Preservation- This group is the total opposite of Preparation, it is reserved for cars that have been faithfully maintained and kept original over many

years, so you will see mostly older Porsches here with decades of careful care and attention. Cleanliness is not so important, but all of the original bits and pieces certainly are!

Restoration- This group is made up of cars that have been restored to their original condition. This time consuming process is evaluated by experienced teams of judges, some of whom actually remember what these cars looked like when they were new! Cleanliness and originality are judged, making this group a difficult proposition for entrants, so thankfully there are cars judged in Touring (top only) and Full (top and bottom of the car is judged).

Performance- This group of cars ranges from all out racers to modified street cars, most of them “personalized” to their owner’s liking. You will see a lot of variety in this group, which is judged on cleanliness only and feature highly modified and performance oriented Porsches.

I hope that little refresher course on the Parade Competition Rules helps you spot the different groups at the Concours, and make more sense of the myriad of awards and trophies at the banquet. You can also browse the Porsche Corral and Historic Display for cars that are not competing, but certainly add a lot to the display. Feel free to come a day or so early and enjoy the prep area (air-conditioned!) in the convention center and see all the work that goes on behind the scenes of our Day at the Concours!

would still be a bunch of enthusiasts calling themselves the Orange Coast Region and driving Porsches. Including some with four doors! And one wonders, “will there be a centennial celebration fifty years on from now?” We do owe some thanks to that group in the early sixties who drove funny little bathtub shaped cars with engines in the wrong place. Thanks ladies and gentlemen, we who are about to drive salute you…

It wouldn’t seem all that long to a glacier

It is true, when measured in terms of tectonic plate shift, fifty years is but the wink of any eye. However, in automotive terms it is several life times. Look at the transformation of the automotive landscape in the same time period; good-bye to the old and hello to the new. Back then Porsche was in a good year if they approached production of 10,000 cars… now, the new CEO has announced the target for 2015 or so is 200,000 cars per year. What will be on tap for Porsche? A new “entry level” Boxster with perhaps four cylinders, and possibly a Panamera two door coupe? There appears to be a definite okay on the smaller Cayenne… called the Cajun, I do like Zydeco and craw fish. And there is quite a bit of research in expanding fuel efficiency in ways such as Hybrids and even electric means of propulsion. Do you see that as the end of Porsches as we knew them? I guess I’m somewhere in the middle there. The new smaller Boxster I think is a brilliant idea. Get younger drivers back into Porsches (a new Carrera is probably six figures with a reasonable build specification) and get Porsche back to the roots of extracting lots of fun from few cubic inches (or centimeters). What is the fun factor of Porsche-ness they have to build in to these? Write to me and tell me what you think they need to remember in the DNA of the models they will be building.

Don’t Miss itOkay now to the fifty-year events.

They are going to be wonderful. The first to mention, without fail, is the party to specifically celebrate the fiftieth year anniversary. This will be held on

(Continued from Page 5)Editor’s NotesSeptember 18th at the “Orange County Mining Company” in Orange. Monica Shea is organizing the event and the plans I’ve seen and heard about are exciting. The restaurant itself is perched on a hill with wonderful views of Orange County. This is a must to do, so if there is any way please be there. Denny Asbury (Monica’s “not necessarily better” half) has designed our fifty-year logo and it looks pretty good. We will have much to do and I think this will be a celebration to remember.

On June 11th, Norm Follis, as “Field Marshall” of the Concours, will be holding our annual exhibition by that name in Lantern Bay Park in Dana Point once again. The theme will reflect on the fifty-year history of the club. The Concours itself is not much younger as I believe we are well into our fourth decade of this activity. The venue here is spectacular with ocean views on the horizon and a rolling green grass lawn on which to show off our cars. Norm picks up the mantle left by Dick and Chris DeRose, and is well up to the task having done this event back when we were in Huntington Beach. Look for this one to be a memory maker as rumor has it that none other than the “king” himself will be there, by this I mean that rock and roll icon, Elvis. Please wear your blue suede shoes.

Some people are nervous about being in a Concours, afraid their car will not show well against compulsive waxers and polishers. The club answers this with two divisions called “wash and shine” and “park and show”. Wash and shine only judges the exterior and is an excellent way to dip one’s toes into the Concours experience. Park and show is just that, no one will judge your car

except the passers by but you get to park on the lawn and be “inside the cordon rouge” with the rest of the real neat-niks. Look it up on our web site and just do it, it is a great day. This is the one event that I say is right for a whole family, very genteel and relatively quiet for a Porsche event, except for some guy who is always talking over the Public Address system.

There are many more fun things coming up so please look at the calendar in this issue of your Pandemonium!

Crazy Men and JoyThere is a crazy man that I

sometimes see along my drive to the salt mines. He stands on the side of Beach Boulevard and waves at the cars going by. Few people acknowledge his wave, I guess some are worried that his craziness can reach across space and catch them as well. I prefer the term used by my Oklahoman forbears, touched, or as pronounced in the Dust Bowl, teched. Touched by who is for you to decide. When I wave to this fellow, his normally dead pan expression changes and there seems to be a smile that jumps quickly across his face and then, nearly as rapidly, the smile disappears back into whatever inner resource or well of knowledge he possesses. Is this a fleeting moment of joy? Does he know of joy or even happiness, warm pancakes with melting butter and sweet, sweet syrup on a weekend morning? Meanwhile I drive by in Blanche Bickerson” the wailing GT3, paying kilo’s of dollars for my own slice of joy… now who’s crazy or touched here?

Don’t forget the fifty-year activities this year; get thee hence to at least one of them and say; “howdy” to me when you do!

of record. Many of our students from Saturday wanted to come back Sunday to practice their new skills. Our new instructor contingent was there in force as well. The day was as beautiful as they come with Mt. Baldy visible bathed in snow, Saddleback standing out like a plein air painting, Catalina in the distance in the other direction and the sound of flat six cylinder engines.

Perfection.Oh… wait… coffee….now it’s perfect. The early morning chit chat seemed to center around the new points system for the car classes; how many points you acquire based upon car modifications and horsepower. Good for some... good for all? Only time will tell.

The Autocross Team has a few new faces this season; Don Chapman takes the mantle of Track Safety from Chuck Bartolon. Chuck has stepped up as Co-Chair along with Christine Newcomer. Craig Adams now holds the golden clipboard as Chief of Corner Workers. Christine handed the registration reins to Julian & Erica White.

Atilla Szilagyi and David Palmquist laid out a great course including elements present from the day before. This time they added a sharp right hand kink just after the start, making it less of a drag race, which was appreciated by our starters and lower horsepower cars. The course layout is different at each event, presenting new challenges in braking, turning and throttle control.

Now for the finale. We had really close competition for top time of day. Michael Oest ended up being over a second faster than Steve Abbott. So

a GT3 got the top honors over the Corvette. We had Steve Eguina and Carl Vandershuit within a half second of Steve Abbott. This made most of us PCA’ers very happy.

For myself, the first AX of the season is especially neat because I get to catch up with all my friends from last season... “ hey howze it going ? Who got

new tires? Who got a new motor ? How about those adjustable shocks? “ Good times all around. If you have not been to an Autocross yet, then you are missing out on a lot of fun. Forget about mowing the lawn and other silly chores, where else can you play cars all day long with your friends and family ? A great time was had by all.

Thank YouThank you again, to our season series sponsor....Walter’s Porsche of Riverside. Give them a call , let them prepare your Porsche for the next autocross, perform some routine maintenance or even your next purchase. We also want to thank our series support sponsor” GMG - Global Motorsport Group, for their continued support for the last 6 years.

friend with a car that is close to our own. Comparing our times with our friends is really fun.

While I was freed up to jump in as many cars as possible by having so many wonderful instructors (doing the all-day student/instructor pairings), I jumped into probably 15 cars, including Justin Davenport’s Dodge Viper GTS. I got the best compliment I have had in 13 years of instructing students from Justin. I had ridden with him and he asked if I could ride in the timed runs with him. He didn’t feel competitive for top time and wanted some new thoughts, plus he was hitting a cone occasionally. And there is nothing more irritating for an AutoXer than hitting cones and not knowing what cones you hit. I had taken Justin with me in my 911 to show him weight transfer techniques using longer throttle and more brake than he was doing. This is a lot easier to learn in a 200 HP car like mine than his 600 hp with Hoosiers. He told Steve Abbott that he was hitting cones and Steve told him “get rid of your passenger” (I was sitting right there too!) and Justin said, “I need him”. Being needed in timed runs is a major compliment.

But I digress once again. My trusty 911 had turned reliable near 62’s (if I could only stop hitting cones), so I thought that the Corvette would easily do 60’s. The best drivers were doing near 55’s. I am never anywhere near the top of anything except my class. Like today, Kent Verderico, my nemesis in my IP class, beat me by over 1 second. How can that young kid be that much better than me with my huge rubber? I know

he takes me on the big tracks because he has a 3.2 liter, and the small tires he runs spin up easier. But I am disappointed that he can take me on a slow speed technical track. Unfortunately it shows he is a better driver. It is times like this that I remind myself that I am in it for the fun and not the success of being number 1. Then it was time to stretch the Corvette’s legs and do my car to car comparison. At the start of the timed runs I had Amelia Budai, Eric’s beautiful 16 year old daughter, (his other beautiful daughter Rachael is distracted by school and doesn’t come often) ask to jump in for a ride. I had that feeling- “hey, these are my timed runs, I’ve given people rides all day already”. Then common sense prevailed, heck she probably weighs 110 pounds soaking wet. She’s not a 200 pounder like me. Plus the Corvette’s power to weight ratio is not nearly as dramatically affected as my 911. Plus, what do I care, I am not competing against anybody for anything anyway. So Amelia jumped in and we went for it. I did three of the four timed runs at 65-66 seconds range, with no major mistakes. How is that? Of course Amelia (and I) thought we were going 200 mph, because it feels like it. We had no idea how it could feel so fast and yet be comparatively slow. Then, while waiting in line it occurred to me, I was losing control MANY times and each time the Corvette slips it is a half second. Those add up.

Another digression, our wonderful course designers Atilla Szilagyi (yes I did spell it correctly) and David Palmquist design our AutoX’s so that high horsepower cars aren’t given that big an advantage. At least any bigger (Continued on Page 33)

than they have to. My 911 got top time of day a couple times and had been in the top 10% frequently the first few years I owned her. Now I’m not even in the top 20%. Christian Van Fleet and I used to compete for top time in the early 90’s, until he put a 3.2 in his car (vs the 2.4). Now Christian is in the top 10 regularly and a top competitor in his class. It is really fun watching him, Dave Palmquist and Rod and Patricia Lynn Taylor competing for top honors in their old school supercars. Attila and Dave put a bend or kink in the start of our AutoX’s so it is not a drag race. They also make sure there are few if any straights to give those 400hp (and much higher) cars the advantage. It is hard to use 400hp in a turn. Very hard. I was going over the limit MANY times and losing that half-second repeatedly and ending up with a slow time.

So, the last timed run I tried hard to slow it down and not find the limit, read that go over the limit, so many times. I got a 61 second run. One second better than my trusty 911. Maybe someday I’ll learn how to drive that Corvette, but it will not be soon. Learning control in a 400hp car is a lot more difficult than a 200hp car. It is much easier to learn good car control, threshold braking and car limits when everything is at slower speeds in a car with less traction and power.

That is the objective review of my two cars. Now for the subjective. The 911 is part of me. I feel one with the car and it talks to me through the steering, brakes and seat. I feel like I know it and it likes me. I feel secure, like it is my faithful

companion and friend that will stick with me through thick and thin. This car was the GT3 of its era and is still a great car today. It was $28500 in ‘78, versus my ‘78 Corvette that was $11500. The ‘78 Corvette was more like a Chevy Impala, even though spec-wise it was almost identical to the 911SC (3000 vs 3300 pounds, 180 hp, 4 wheel independent suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes). The 911 is still a performance car by today’s standards, and holds its own against cars with twice the power. The ‘78 Corvette had people chase us down to give me a thumbs up and it drew attention wherever it went in its beautiful yellow paint. The 911 doesn’t get chased down, but many consider a guards red turbo look 911 their ideal Porsche. It is one of the classically beautiful shapes of all time. The sounds my 911 makes between 5000 and 7000 rpm are music to my ears. My Magnaflow exhaust is too loud on the street, but on the track I can still talk to students and the bumblebee sounds are like a symphonic orchestra. My ‘96 Corvette was beautiful to me but nobody

even noticed that C4 shape. It drew no attention. But it is a simple clean design. And on the track going into second gear it would jump 3 feet to the side, and the noises it made with the Magnaflow exhaust were incredible. It was a fun and excellent performing vehicle. My 08 base model with its 430hp can be absolutely terrifying. I would love a 400hp Porsche but I can’t afford it. But even if I could, it would not have the torque and bottom end acceleration of this Corvette. If I haven’t driven the Corvette for awhile, when I get in and feel the power it scares me. The adrenalin can flow when I push that right foot down. The traction control works so well that on wet streets you can use full throttle and the tires slip just a little and the car can still go like crazy in an unbelievable way that is especially fun. The Corsa exhaust receives wide compliments and from the inside, it is better than outside. But even this Corvette is not a part of me. It is like a racehorse that wants to be used but has an undefined side of its personality that is not understandable, and is hard to trust. It is hard to know the limit in these

low-polar inertia cars. And the limit is constantly changing anyway depending on road surfaces, temperature, tire heat and pressures. Boxster and Cayman owners have an issue with this as they have all the weight in the center, which makes the performance incredible, but when the limit is exceeded, the car does a 180 or 360 spin. The Corvette is like that but not as bad because the engine is in front and the transaxle in the rear, so even though it is 50/50, there is weight on both ends. It only does a 180 instead of a 360. We 911 cultists love that 60/40 weight distribution because that last 10% of the traction can be felt and used for throttle steering. 911’s are very difficult cars to be the fastest in because you need to get that rear weight into the front for traction for turning. This makes the skill level exceptionally high. But the fun factor of throttle steering makes them perhaps the greatest toy of all time. So the 911 and Corvette are very different personalities. I love having both because I have been a horsepower fanatic from age 3. Although the engine is the most important part of a

Porsche to Vette:

car for me, my 911 is a part of me and the Corvette is not. The 911 is a friend. The Corvette is my not totally trustworthy companion. I hate to say that because it has not had one mechanical issue that I haven’t caused (brakes fried due to racing tires without tire pressure sensors resulting in the traction system putting on the brakes - I thought it was not applying the accelerator) in three years and 22000 miles. And it is the best long distance trip car I have ever owned getting a high 30 miles per gallon (it is 16 around town) is totally unexpected for a car of this performance ability.

Now for the AutoX grand finale. We had REALLY close competition for top time of day. Michael Oest ended up being over a second faster than Steve Abbott giving a GT3 top honors over a Corvette. We had Steve Eguina and Carl Vandershuit within a half second of Steve Abbott. This made most of us PCAers very happy. With the SCCA guys not so happy. Michael Oest and Steve Abbott spent much longer in the figit lane than

they did driving to get their tires the perfect temperature and pressure. For Michael to get that time shows that he is a super fantastic driver. There were many cars there with more horsepower and equal tires that did not come close to him. Carl Vandershuit’s car was on its maiden voyage and is not checked out or set up yet, so he has potential for a couple seconds left in it that would put him on top. Talk about a bargain, he put that car together for about 25K. Not bad for a top time of day car.

I drove my 911 home and left the Corvette to pick up later. The Corvette is easier to replace if somebody wants it badly enough to steal it. Plus it has OnStar to defend itself. When my wife and I picked it up at 9:00 the night was crisp, the stars were beautiful and the darkness just kind of sunk into your bones. It is one spooky but beautiful place, in the middle of the runways in the dark. We stayed a few minutes and took pictures of the night and the Big Balloon. Then returned to home to park my trusty play partners in the garage. Until next time.
