President’s Messageby Pres. Gordon Williams
Greetings all!
I hope everyone had a wonderful month of May. We had another great turnout at the New Member’s Picnic, thanks to C. L. Over 100 folks showed up, so Dick DeRose and I flipped a lot of burgers and cooked quite a few hot dogs. I think everyone enjoyed themselves, I know I did. The next cookout will be in December when we do Toys for Tots with
the Marines. This year we will figure out a way to cook at the event to encourage everyone to participate (assuming the venue will allow it). That gives me plenty of time to get the apron cleaned from the picnic. Be looking on the calendar and join us there!
June will bring us to our usual events plus the Mullin Museum tour on the 16th. It will be an exciting trip, as it’s not been done in a couple of years. If you have an interest contact Greg Lush our VP and he’ll fill you in on sign up. Summertime through October is always a great time to own a Porsche, so be sure and check our calendars in the Pando, at pcaocr.com and on our Facebook page to see how to participate in your favorite club activity.
There are one or two board members who will not be seeking reelection in December, so if you are interested or have any questions, please contact myself or any of the other current board members for the particulars. If you’ve been around awhile, it’s a great way to
ensure the club goes in the direction the members and associates desire. New blood always means new ideas.
Don’t forget that the Concours is in September at Lantern Bay Park in Dana Point. To volunteer or get information contact Norm Follis at [email protected].
Hearts and Garages is the 24th of August as usual, sign up for a great tour, great food and see us present the yearly check to our charity Semper Fi. Contact Peggy Huddleston to include your garage, sign up or to volunteer at [email protected].
As always, thank you to all of our members and associates for their participation in our events. Remember, this club runs on our volunteers no matter how little or how much they choose to become involved. Please don’t let your inability to devote a large amount of your time to the club keep you from volunteering ANY of your time to the club.
I’ll see you on the road!

Editor’s NotesStory by Garey Cooper
(Continued on Page 23)
Summer time and the drivin’ is easy! Particularly when you have a Porsche to do the drivin’ in. A little gasoline, some open roads, your friends in the Orange Coast Region and some sunshine to light the way. What could be bad?
Timing is everythingI just received an email telling about an accident involving a fellow PCA’er.
His name is Robert Chamblin. It seems he was driving home after work when he was rear ended by a drunk driver on the 57 Freeway. The accident was severe and from the posted photos it appears that the 914 he was driving was nearly bent in half. We wish our fellow club member well in his recovery and remind all of our readers to be aware that trouble can come at any time. Smell a rose or two and enjoy each day.
I say “timing” here as a lead-in because just a few minutes, or seconds really, either earlier or later and this gentlemen would have been out of the zone in time and space where it all occurred. Timing indeed.
I was rear ended on the 5 Freeway just north of my off ramp and had to stand by the road for nearly an hour waiting for the requisite Highway Patrol Officer to appear and take his notes. This happened towards the end of last year in my case. But, pertinent to our story, waiting on the fast lane side of the freeway is NOT pleasant. I also remember that at freeway
speeds the cars going by just inches away were impressive by the wind they displaced towards us and by the energy one could feel in their passing. There is huge potential for damage that we can become inured to feeling; cosseted as we are in our metal insulated cocoons. That is until an accident does occur!
Do eggs taste better in Orange County?Well, this past Saturday I woke early, well and determined to drive up to our Breakfast Club meeting at Original Mike’s in Santa Ana. I hadn’t been to one in a couple months and was happy with the thought of spending some time with my old friends (some aren’t that old, but some ARE) in the OCR. Again, timing is everything because I got as far as San Juan Capistrano when I came to the tail end of a queue trying to get past an accident. 45 minutes and 50 feet or so later, it became more and more apparent that Original Mike’s was

Porsche 911 Performance Handbook, 1963-1998 Third edition, by Bruce Anderson, Published by Motorbooks, Minneapolis, MN.
Book Review:
Review by Bruce Herrington
The Porsche Community (broader than just PCA) lost a great part of its ‘corporate’ technical knowledge when Bruce Anderson died this spring. Arguably, his mind contained more and broader technical information on the configuration, maintenance and tuning of air-cooled, 6 cylinder Porsches than any other in the world.
Fortunately, a book exists which encompass and preserves much of that knowledge. Porsche 911 Performance Handbook, 1963-1998 is not so much a handbook as a tome of 304, 8-1/2 x 11 pages. The term Performance in the title is also somewhat misleading. This book is about much more than just hot-rodding air-cooled Porsches, a subject with which it does deal, in specific detail. This handbook is one of the best sources available for information on the configurations of various year cars. It is an essential book for the library (or coffee table) of anyone seriously interested in air-cooled 911s.
This book is very well illustrated with photographs, many in color, illustrating the evolution of the design of certain components. Also included are custom graphics, which illustrate system operation and internal configurations that cannot be shown in a photograph.
Then there is the text. Bruce Anderson was well renowned in the aerospace industry as an outstanding technical writer, before he started playing with Porsches. His skill in presenting his encyclopedic knowledge is attested by the years his columns appeared in Panorama, Excellence and other periodicals and his many years of service as Technical Editor of Pano’s Tech Q&A Section.
Chapter 1 of the Porsche 911 Performance Handbook, 1963-1998, is an outstanding compendium of all of the design changes (not just engine changes)
made to enhance 911 performance year by year. It is the place to find out what makes a car of year X better than a car of year X-1.
Chapter 2 is an equally comprehensive and detailed presentation of the particular things to check on when considering the purchase of a 911 of any specific year. It also contains model by model (SC, 993, 964) Pre-Purchase Inspection checklists from Zone 8’s own Tony Callas.
Chapter 3 deals with the ever-continuing development of the air-cooled 911 engines, describing the almost year-by-year and 911 model by model changes, in detail. The very extensive information contained in the narrative is summarized in an 8-page table at the end of the chapter.
Chapter 4 gets down to the nitty-gritty of engine rebuilding, with lots of how-to pictures and insightful notes on tricks-of-the-trade. Also included is a
2-1/2 page Engine Builder’s Checklist of what to do and how to verify re-usability of components.
Chapter 5, over half way through the book, is where the hot-rodding starts to come in. This chapter deals with improvements to engine performance. Modifications proposed are discussed in detail, down to the appropriate carb jets to use with specific piston/cylinder combinations.
Chapter 6 on suspension covers springs, anti-roll bars, alignment, wheels and brakes, with specific recommendations for each of the various 911 models, and intended uses from street to full-race.
Chapter 7 talks about the various transmissions, their configurations and their years of usage. Included are charts of gears available for the various models and their effect on speed at various RPMs.
Finally, yet importantly, are some fascinating appendices providing 911 production figures in very great detail, a preventive Maintenance checklist and tune-up specifications for every year and model. There are specific recommendations for adjusting Solex, Weber and Zeniths carbs as well as for mechanical and CIS/K-jetronic injection systems. The final appendix gives specific guidance for changing oil and filters on 993s and 964s.
Porsche 911 Performance Handbook, 1963-1998 should be available for $39.99 from your favorite bookseller (ask for it), or from http://www.motorbooks.com

The Best Thing About Owning A Porsche Story by Sandy Klein
Feature Article:
(Continued on Page 11)
The best thing about owning a Porsche is all of the wonderful friends you make while attending the events sponsored by being a member of PCA.
When I first met Steve, he had a white 924 Turbo Porsche and I had a blue 280Z. I quickly learned that the 924 was a lot more fun…what with downshifting and the speed. So, I bought a 924 and eventually gave it to Steve’s son when he entered college.
We bought the first 944 sold in Orange County in 1983 and I used it as a daily driver going back and forth to Orange County from Corona for 5 years. I then was lucky enough to retire early from the Federal Government and went into Real Estate. It wasn’t so easy taking families in my 944 so we just used it for fun and we still have it.
In 2004, I decided with all the big events in my life happening that year that I needed a mid-life crisis car and decided a newer Porsche was just what the doctor prescribed. Walter’s in Riverside sold me my current Porsche and we have been enjoying it ever since. It is a 996 twin turbo cabriolet. License plate number is SK’s DRM (Sandy Klein’s dream).
We immediately became PCA members and have enjoyed many
wonderful PCA trips. We drove to Yosemite with 2 other couples where we met up with the Golden State group and spent the weekend. We have been to day trips such as the
Mullins’s museum in Oxnard, Nethercutt Museum, Petersen Museum, visited a camel ranch, Frederick R. Weisman Museum, Getty Villa, and the Santa Barbara Museum, etc.
We have enjoyed driving up Highway 1 to Carmel (stopping at a bed and breakfast overnight along the way and of course lunch at Nepenthe in Big Sur where at 800 feet above the Pacific Ocean you get fabulous ocean views) seven consecutive years to attend the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. We love staying in Carmel, attending the concours, seeing the elegant cars lined up the day before along Ocean Boulevard in Carmel, eating the excellent food in their great restaurants and watching the people

with their dogs (interesting how dogs and their owners seem to look alike).
In August 2005, after the concours, we drove to Santa Rosa for the Porsche Escape. It was a fun filled weekend with car shows, wine tours and another chance to meet really great people. That year, Adolf Ruf was the speaker at the dinner. He had also flown a car over from Germany to be on display.
Recently we had the opportunity to drive each of the new Porsches (Panamera, Cayman, Boxster, 966, etc.) at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. It was especially fun since Steve did the Brownfield development of the Auto Club Speedway and drove the track on the dirt before they applied the asphalt. He says that was more fun than in 2012 driving the Rusty Wallace stock car at 180 miles per hour around the track.
We live in Corona where Steve is an environmental engineer and I am a licensed Realtor. We love spending time with our two German Shepherds and our cat, (used to have 2 horses, but they became large pets when they built homes all around us), but anytime we can, we love getting in the car and taking off.
We have taken many trips around the country in our Porsches, usually staying in bed and breakfasts with a general destination. We have had extra
fun taking side trips whenever something in the area piqued our interest.
We totally agree with the saying “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people.” We look forward to many more years of fun and friendship with PCA friends.

In recent years, many hallowed makes of cars, such as Pontiac and Oldsmobile, have faded out of existence. Porsche not only carries on but one of its models, the 911, has achieved its 50th anniversary this year. Designed to be bigger and better than the 356 that preceded it, the 911 was unveiled at the Frankfurt Automobile show in September 1963. In recognition of the longevity of the model, the 2013 Zone 8 Festival of Speed incorporated a display of 50 Years of 911s . Fifty cars, one from each of the fifty years of 911 production. The Display (coordinated by OCR’s own Bruce Herrington and including cars from several OCR members) was a Zone event and cars came from all corners of the Zone and beyond; Monterey in the north, San Diego in the south and Scottsdale to the east.
Site limitations were such that only 1 car from each year could be accepted, and even at that the display appeared more like a crowded parking lot than a museum exhibit. The enthusiasm from PCA members wanting to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime event was so great that many more cars were offered than could be accepted. Attempts to balance out body styles and colors worked well in the planning, but the realties of illnesses and work issues lead to some late stage cancellations. Calling up the reserves to
50 Cars for 50 years of 911 Story by Bruce Herrington Photos by: Rob Greene, Bruce Herrington and courtesy of the Festival of Speed Website
fill in the missing Porsche for a particular year resulted in some deviations in the well-planned layout. But, ‘a good time was had by all’.
The oldest 911 shown was the ‘infamous’ VIN 300020. This is one of 82 cars produced in the autumn of 1964 as a type 901 prior to the name change to 911. The early ‘90s restoration of this car by Precision Motion in Riverside was something of a community project by Riverside Region members of the time, some even contributed parts to the project. The newest Porsche shown was a 2013 Coupe. A special order that reprised the silver paint and red leather of the early Spyder Race cars.
To create more interest and add to the display, behind each car was a poster
explaining the car’s design features and ‘life experiences’. Every car had a story, from one that had raced on the Nurburgring, to one that spent most of its time touring Europe, to one that had been the lifetime dream of the owner’s spouse, to one of the very oldest that had been in the same family since it was purchased new. There was a complete mix of body styles, coupes, cabs, targas and turbos. The wide range of colors was not dominated by the all too common red of the early cars, but it seemed that white was the most common color, with silver probably a close second. Versions of

greens and blues were represented; only the yellow most common on Boxsters seemed to be missing from the pallet of 911 colors in the display.
The festival, attended by approximately 5000 people, also included parts vendors and suppliers, swap meet, cars for sale, PCA Club Racing and Time Trialing, Taste of Autocross, Track Tours, Concours d’Elegance, car corrals, and Driving Simulators. During lunchtime track tours you could take your street car out on the track-and there was a taste of the Autocross, where you could take your street car out on a mini track and test your limits.
Over 200 drivers, drove the oval at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana all weekend long. People enjoyed one of the largest Concours d’Elegance that the Festival has ever seen This was a beautiful display of Porsches, prepared with tenderness and attention to detail for judging by their owners and shown on Vendor’s Row on Saturday.
The 2013 California Festival of Speed was a truly great weekend event with something for everyone.

JUNE 2013 1515
An unexpected road test revealed something that any Porsche enthusiast must consider:
BALANCE. This is very important when replacing any one component or system in a car, but a Porsche 911 is no ordinary car. Not ordinary in any way at all. I was concerned about how well my 930 turbo brakes would really work now that I had a performance built 3.6 Liter turbo engine in my evolved 1968 911? One long empty road led to a quick high-speed test of how well the 930 brakes worked.
I did the upgrade 20 years ago when I swapped in a 370 HP 3.0 turbo engine! My experience of the 930 brakes was that they are FANTASTIC! However that was compared to the 1969 911S brakes I has been using for the 2.2S engine and later for a special 3.0RS engine, I built in 1985. With an upgrade to a 3.0L Turbo engine in my 1968 evolved 911, it soon became apparent that the 911S brakes were at their limit. I wondered how Porsche ever let the heavy 1976 930 turbo out the door with the 911S brakes and no vacuum assistance? Clearly, the 1976 Turbo was handicapped with those brakes.
The 1977 upgrade to vacuum assist brakes on all 911- 930 models and that helped immensly. Still, with the coming 1978- inter-cooled, 3.3Liters, and the 930 as getting even heavier, the 911S brakes had to go. The Upgrade became known as the” 930 Brakes”, which evolved from the Porsche 917 racing program of 1970-1973. The 930 brakes were slightly modified with a hand brake system and
then installed on the 1973- 2.8 Liter RSR and 1974 3.0L RS and RSR.
The 1967 911S brakes came from an upgrade in 1967 which featured 2-piston (38mm) “M” iron calipers in front and 2-piston (35mm) “L” iron Calipers in rear. Discs were up-graded to vented disc. F: 282 x 20mm, and R: 290 x 20 mm vented discs. The 1969 911S, from 1969 on, had a further upgrade to a 2-piston (38mm) ALUMINUM caliper. This is the “911S Aluminum Caliper” on the front, with the same 282x20mm front-vented disc. The rear vented discs were the same but now used what was previously the front caliper (Iron 38mm 2-piston”M” caliper). The 911S brakes worked well OK for most early 3.0L 260 HP RoW and 245 P USA 930 Turbos.
Originally, the 917-RSR brakes were supposed to be installed on the 1976 Turbo but development issues delayed the installation. The 911S brakes were soon realized to be at the end of their ability to slow the ever-increasing weight of the 911 series and especially the Turbo. In 1977, the introduction of vacuum assisted brakes made a great improvement in braking, but it also revealed the limited ability of the 911S brakes when dealing with upgraded 3.0L turbo driving. To add a special need to this, Porsche’s 1976 935-race car was soon approaching speeds of 190 mph and the 917-RSR brakes used on them were then realized to be too small to handle slowing at these racing speeds. The racing department made their own much larger racing-only ‘monster brakes’ and the road 930 Turbo program developed a new “930 brake.” The new brake was a further development of the 917-RSR brakes.
TURBO BRAKES Turbo Brakes were introduced with the 1978-1989 Turbo with front 4-piston “Turbo” (38mm x 4-piston) Aluminum Alloy calipers and rear 4-piston “Turbo” (30mm x 4-piston) Aluminum Alloy
calipers. The Front Discs were 304 x 32 mm, curved vane, cross-drilled, floating disc type; the Rear Discs of 309 x 28 mm curved vane & cross-drilled, with hand brake drum in the one-piece disc assembly.
During the 1960-70s-80s, brake developments were fewer and simpler. From 1990 and on it got a lot more complex. However, the primary brake upgrade to improve the 911 remained getting the largest brakes that fit. At least it seemed that way. Brake technology has improved dramatically over the years as well. Big size is not as important with modern brakes!
Time trailers and racers understood that you needed harder pads that didn’t fade after a few laps and weren’t so hard on pedal effort. Brake cooling was a big problem as well, to prevent rapid fade, pad and disc wear, and to avoid cracking discs, especially during track event. I can tell you about that one!
So now back to 2013. I discovered, once again, that my supposedly finished evolving 911 was in need of upgrading - again!

What combines a scenic drive, a treasure type hunt, an encounter with California History and Irish Beer and Chicago Pizza? OCR’s “Rally Round the Camp”; USMC Camp Pendleton that is. Yes, that and a scamper over the Ortega Highway in southern Orange County was the venue of this rally on a fine St. Patrick’s Day Sunday, March 17, 2013.
The participating “Rallistas” occupying twenty-six 911 Porsches, one Cayenne (with the James Buck family on board) and one automotive oddity, a very nice convertible Mercedes (the Budais), lined up in San Juan Capistrano at 9:00 AM for the start of this 115 mile adventure.
Embracing a bit of heritage thinking, this rally, via notes embedded within the Route Instructions (RIs), discussed bits of California History that unfolded along the rally route.
The first note pointed out the obvious. The San Juan Capistrano Mission which was established in 1776, the seventh in the chain of missions that extended from San Diego to Sonoma, California in the Spanish Era (1542-1848). As the Rallistas progressed along the route through San Clemente, across Camp Pendleton to Oceanside and then inland to Fallbrook, they encountered various California historic places and characters; Pio Pico, Mission San Luis Rey, the Gaspar Portola Settlement
Expedition (1769) and Father Serra, among others. In Fallbrook the Rallyistas encountered a bit of modern traffic and historic Old Highway 395 which they then followed on to Temecula. Temecula was a mission satellite rancho (1800), a settlement town and a true western stagecoach stop (1857). Today, because the downtown has become a significant weekend tourist attraction mobbed with cars and folks, the RIs routed our Rallistas around the downtown on the I-15 to the vicinity of Lake Elsinore. Exiting the interstate and proceeding over to Grand Ave., the Rallistas traveled northerly on this historic Overland/Butterfield Stage Route (1857-1861) and then turned southwest onto the Ortega Highway (est. 1933) towards the coast. This highway was so named to honor the
accomplishments of Don Jose Francisco Ortega and the very successful Portola Expedition of which he was a leading member.
Once over the mountain, the Rallistas turned north off the Ortega Highway and proceeded up Antonio Parkway into Ladera Ranch. This new development lies within
the community of Mission Viejo that has grown out of the rancho the O’Neil Family purchased in 1882 and still operates to this day. The rally finish was at Selma’s Chicago Pizza and Pub (really good food and beer) on Crown Valley Parkway. Pit stops, a bit of imbibing, a lot of eating and good Porsche conversation followed.
The rally challenge embodied in this event was to find the objects illustrated in the dozen photos attached to the RIs and list them in the order encountered. So the challenge was twofold: find them and put them in order. The photo scoring revealed 16 car teams with 100%. Congratulations! These winners, both drivers and navigators, will receive “got-em-all” medals. It is the Rallymeister’s intent to note the medalists at each rally event during the remainder of the year
Lots of history of the area was learned while driving from sign to sign

First 2013 OCR DE Event(A DE IS NEVER A RACE!!)
Monday morning, April 29, OCR kicked-off the first of two track events in the OCR 2013 Drivers Education Series sponsored by Walter’s Porsche at Autoclub Speedway Interior Road Course in Fontana. GMG, Global Motorsports Group, in Santa Ana was a support sponsor. A Drivers Education or DE is an instructional event at track speed with continuous lap driving. There is no timing since the event is designed to be instructional only, with no competition. There are no award points or trophies associated with DE events. While not timed, drivers are competitive and can experience the ‘occasional adrenaline surge’ associated with racing. A DE is never a race (or so they say).
The Autoclub Speedway track opened at 7 a.m. along with OCR Registration and Tech Inspection. Christian Van Fleet handled Tech Inspection; Christine Newcomer managed driver sign-in; Matt O’Donnell setup the required equipment transported from El Toro; and Steve Eguina had the announcements going.
We had wonderful weather and a great turnout with seventy registered drivers, which included thirty-five novice drivers. It was nice to see so many new drivers interested in driving a DE event. In addition to Ed McRae, Walter’s Porsche – General Manager, we also had five Walter’s Porsche invited customer guests. This event gave
them the opportunity to drive their new Porsches at ‘speed’.
If you are not experienced driving your Porsche on a
road-race course, don’t let that intimidate you. Novices are assigned an instructor for the day, and are accompanied by this instructor for all their drive time. This accelerates a driver’s learning curve, makes the day more enjoyable and helps keep everyone safe.
Steve did his usual great drivers meeting, track talk familiarizing everyone with the protocols for signaling and executing a safe pass on track and other essential information for a fun, safe day. The professional Corner Worker team explained the flag communication system including the ominous “BLACK FLAG” requiring an immediate return to the pits so we can have a little talk (i.e., you or your car did a something not preferred!).
Safety was stressed, as always. Everyone was reminded that during the first driving session, tires and brains are not warmed up yet so it is necessary to warm both up gradually on track. Also, the ever-present reminder ‘even though we are at a race track with racy cars, this is not a Race!’ was clearly stated.
A DE event consists of multiple driving sessions with passing allowed in designated areas under controlled circumstances. Drivers are grouped into Run Groups based upon experience, once again for safety. Experienced drivers cultivate interesting rivalries with friends jockeying for position,
chasing one another and really having a great time.
We had a wide variety of vehicles at the event: dedicated track cars; Carreras; Caymans; Boxsters; GT3’s; and Turbo’s. Some cars have the advantage in the straights, and other cars have the advantage in the curves. The ‘chases’ that result are fun to watch and even more fun to do.
By the end of the day everyone had all the track time they desired. Even though there were no Timing results, there were lots of smiles and fond memories. The day was indeed educational with many drivers gaining knowledge & skill handling their cars and learning the track. Most drivers new to the DE event learned that DE’s are a GREAT way to spend a Monday, and they didn’t want to miss the next event, which is:
• Monday, September 30 - Chuckwalla Raceway, Desert Center, CA
Special thanks to Walter’s Porsche and General Manager, Ed McRae, for their support. As the OCR Driving Events Sponsor, they enable us to hold these events at a wonderful facility like Autoclub Speedway. OCR wants to thank Walter’s for their continued support and thank those OCR members that support the Walter’s Automotive Group, which in addition to Porsches, also sell and service new and pre-owned Mercedes, Audis, Fiats and Smart cars.
Steve & I appreciate the support of all the drivers who participated in the event making it a fun day, along with the volunteers who make it all happen. Thanks for a wonderful event and we hope to see you at Chuckwalla!

Editor’s Notes: (Continued from Page 5)
going to be out of the question. So good bye Orange County eggs! With exquisite timing however, when this realization dawned on me I was with fortuitous luck right at the Ortega Highway Ramp. Every Porsche driver of some vintage knows this road and how with rare old time terrain following curves it snakes from Orange County over the mountains and through to Lake Elsinore. Still an anachronistic two lanes, two meandering lanes with never more than a few hundred feet of it straight, the old Ortega is still a delight to drive in a White GT3.
The only thing to spoil anyone’s fun is that like any road, you have to share it. Sometimes that sharing is with like-minded people in or on performance machines, there are lots of motorcycles on the Ortega. However, other times, inevitably you must share with people who have no appreciation of a fast vehicle on an appreciative road. Now and then, you don’t see those people and it’s just your road; yours alone. Blanche and I had a blast and the very nice courteous slower cars we did come upon took the cut-outs and let us go by. Thanks to them and a little luck I took the long way home and ran the Ortega through to the 15 Freeway and thereafter to SD.
Rodent TrackActually, that is a “typo” on purpose; I mean “Road & Track”, always spelled with an ampersand by the way. This magazine has been around a long time and for my generation provide a lot of the connection to Sports Cars and the European world before the Internet begin to render paper magazines with monthly publishing dates obsolete, even though they are still with us. At least those that adapt to the new realities are. By the way, Road & Track was located right here in Newport Beach for many years. Right up until 2011 I believe.
Well in the latest Road & Track, the entire issue is devoted to the just past 50 years of the 911. It is one of the better releases that I have seen. The content ranges from the newest to the earliest iterations of this iconographic sports car. And, they are pretty honest about the changes over the years to the car. Some of these were necessary to keep us citizen consumers from being early departures from the Porsche gene pool of buyers; not a good way to elicit repeat business. For instance, I wonder how many current Porsche owners and drivers realize that the first generations instability was (partially) cured by the
addition of something like 50 pounds of lead weights to the front bumpers. I may not have the exact amount of weight, but it was there.
So reading this issue is somewhat educational from the standpoint of 911 evolutions.
I have a last comment on the 911 evolution although there can certainly be many comments. That is the “993” model of which I had one, in my opinion anyway, was one of the prettiest in the long line. Also, the “997” and now latest model “991” seem to have recaptured some of the “993” look and done that right well. What is your selection as “prettiest” 911? Maybe we should have a poll on the subject?
On a clear day you can seeMonterey and the historic races along with Pebble Beach Concours, at least that is what I am going to attempt. This summer, directly after my long postponed retirement, Mrs. Cooper and I are going to Monterey to take in all things automotive there. It’s been a few years and the timing is right, so off we will go. I’ll tell you all about it. Later…

The First 2013 Autocross Drivers Clinic Auto-X Corner:
Sunday, April 14th, was our third event in the Walter’s Porsche Autocross 2013 season. April was a key month for OCR’s autocross, partially because we have thirteen new Autocross instructors,
There many facets to the Autocross program, all of them important, all of them linked and dependent on each other: Timing, Safety, Equipment, Co-Chairs, Registration, Course Design and our Instructor Corps. Back in February, we held an Instructor’s Clinic in Irvine. The course focused on positive instruction methods, driving techniques and safety. Additional instruction and certifications were conducted during the Control Clinic, as well as during the first two AutoX’s, Thanks you Jerry Griffin for lending your expertise on check rides,
Being a competent driver on your own is one thing, but being able to successfully guide a newbie around a virtual sea of cones is another. Sometimes more patience and encouragement are required than sheer skill. Skill is acquired with seat time. Participation and a good attitude make for a nice day at the track. All of our instructors are good at what they do, some are faster around the track than others, but that’s not always the point. A valued instructor is also a good ambassador for the Club. For many participants, this is their first exposure to such a driving event and our Club. We’d like them to return.
Many participants attend regularly and become accomplished drivers. For them, driving instruction is the next logical step in their driving career. Instruction validates your skills. Instruction makes you a better driver because you are on the track nearly twice as long. For example, at our last D.E. in Fontana, I had three students; I was in and out of cars all day long with only a 40-minute break for lunch. With some rough math, that’s about 230 miles of hard drivin’. A tip of the hat to all of the other instructors who stepped up, on a Monday to complete the day... incident free!
At autocross, showing the new person how to take the line and why to take the line is not always easy, but it can be a rewarding endeavor. Both parties walk away with something positive. Over time, the new driver will become proficient and then take his or her turn ushering in a new

group of drivers. Ultimately, the next step for many autocross instructors is to become a driving event (D.E.) and track instructor. The GPX region usually hosts the course at the Streets of Willow once a year. If you are already an AX instructor, you’ll probably be invited to the next round. Don’t pass it up. It’s worth the effort and you can learn much. In a few months or so, OCR PCA would like to plan for another Instructor Clinic, most likely on a smaller scale. If you are a Club member, and have not experienced what you and your car are capable of in a safe environment, sign up at MotorSportreg.com. You’ll be paired with a qualified instructor... one who might even have a car similar to your own. Turbo? Cayenne? 914? No problem! We even have some loaner helmets available, But once your hooked, you’ll end up buying your own.

worked very well. When I acquired a set of 930 brakes back in 1997, I modified and installed them on my 911-with alloy Carrera trailing arms, and without a vacuum booster. These worked wonders compared to the old 911S brakes I had at the time.
*One note: I was still use a fabulous brake pad: the “Cool Carbon” sold by Alan Johnson in SD and now available from Porterfield–Brakes.com (CM, Ca). It is now called the R4-S pad.
I used the non-vacuum 930 brakes at several track events but never pushed them very hard as my tires were too small for my 911 back then and I had no desire to drive with flat spotted tires! These brakes worked well but over time, I wondered if a vacuum booster might make them work even better. Therefore, I upgrade to a large vacuum brake booster system and still used “Cool Carbon” brake pads. I had great pedal feel, low pedal effort and great brake control.
However, with a performance built 3.4L Liter turbo engine like the one
that I built and installed in 2010 & 11 and then further upgraded to a built 3.6 turbo in 2012, everything changed. A 911-turbo-performance engine at Wide Open Throttle accelerates so quickly it can be alarming! Unless you have driven a ‘built turbo’ with purpose, you can never understand this sensation. Oh, it can be fun to be sure, but things happen so quickly that it is easy for a driver to find himself dangerously behind, instead of ahead, of where things are going.
Normal 911s and RS 911s and even 3.8 RSR 911s simply cannot generate this type of acceleration. The W.O.T. (Wide Open Throttle) driving potential I was concerned about is accelerating through, and up, past fourth gear. And again, this is not done unless you are on a very empty and very long race track straight-a-way. With the 3.6 turbo, I was very concerned about brake modulation from three digit speeds, (150+ which come up amazingly fast) in controlled areas of course! I discovered near panic!
This was like flying and upgrading from Single Engine aircraft flying to
high performance, Twin Engine aircraft. Everything happens in a hurry. The thing of it is, is: in an airplane, you have A NEED FOR SPEED-IN A HURRY. If runway runs out -you crash! You either get it up quickly and fly, or abort take-off as quickly as possible.
Light twin engine aircraft have ‘fair’ brakes, but only for perhaps one real panic stop. Small aircraft have critical weight concerns and normally one uses the brakes sparingly -if at all. You are trained to use aerodynamic braking on landing roll out and let the plane slow itself. Any brake use is gentle. So, on take off you must know your runway distance, your aircraft performance chart for braking distance and factors like total take-off weight, runway conditions with rain, snow, ice or dry. Pilots train and practice for the unusual and for every emergency known and imagined. This is because anything that can go wrong eventually will go wrong.
This brings to my most recent problem which will be continued in next month’s Pando as “Part Two”.
