President’s Message 

Story by Gorden Williams 

To all our members and associates, 

What a busy month May was! The ladies 

had their 5th Annual Garden Tour, Fast 

Freddy led the Chino Air Show Tour, we 

had a great Burgerbahn with Gary Labb, 

a phenomenal AutoX with Christine and 

her group, a calorie packed Porsches and 

Pancakes with yours truly, a great group 

at the Krispy Kreme meet, and last but 

probably most importantly, the most 

memorable New Member picnic ever. 

Thank you C. L. for all your effort; the 

result was incredible! 

Wanna know what’s kinda scary? 

June is even bigger. Why, you say? 

Because that’s the month of our pre- 

Father’s day party and car show! We 

start with an unbelievable venue like 

Shady Canyon Golf Club and add our 

42nd Annual Concours (for the guys & 

gals that want to show off their rides), 

then we mix in a phenomenal BBQ and 

dance for the rest of the family. Register 

for the Concours, or arrive later and 

come just for the party! Our venue, 

Shady Canyon Golf Club is throwing in 

an all vehicle car show, just in case you 

would like to view some non-Porsche 

metal. Interested? View it all on www. 

motorsportreg.com, look for June 16th, 

click on the appropriate event and you 

find all you need to know. 

We also have all the usual 

gastronomical opportunities like 

Breakfast Club, Burgerbahn, Krispy 

Kreme, and Porsches and Pancakes. 

Then to make sure you’re not bored we 

add in the AutoX on the 10th and the 

Getty Villa Tour on the 23rd. 

Also for those of you who continue 

to ask, we will have a PCAOCR 

specific build day with Habitats for 

Humanity some Friday in August. We 

will be limited to 20 folks (no skills 

necessary to participate) and we are in 

need of a $2,500 sponsor, should one 

of the members or current sponsors be 

interested. We will repeat this or another 

humanitarian activity at least twice a 

year going forward. Now that’s a club 

I’m proud to be a part of! 

Thanks to all of you for your 

continued support and remember, as 

always, to say “Thank you” to one of our 

volunteers this month. 

Safe travels, 

Gordo

Story by Garey Cooper 

You sly dog! 

The tower gently rocked with swaying 

betraying a slight tremor of the local

Mrs. Cooper has a history of testing 

the limits of tires. They can be rolled 

over curbs, across parking stops, 

tossed over some “Bots Dots” and

busy and extraordinarily preoccupied 

with more important things. Pressing 

tee times, where exactly Garey 

Cooper is in the United States, and 

“other stuff”. So, the tires do suffer. 

It has gotten so that the local tire 

shop rolls out the exact rubber for 

a 2010 BMW 335i when she enters the 

driveway. I think we’re at about five now 

to be exact. Buy stock in Michelin, it can 

only go up.

YIKES… Germs In My Car! 

Story by moe Mystry 

Have allergies? Feeling tired? You may 

be harboring germs and bacteria in the 

most unlikely place: your car. It seems 

that our beloved automobiles can be one 

of the most germ-filled atmospheres we 

come into contact. 

ABC News asked germ expert Dr. 

Chuck Gerba, a University of Arizona 

microbiologist, to swab every inch of 

a couple’s SUV and BMW sedan to let 

them know, for better or worse, what’s 

growing in there. The wife has the usual 

soccer-mom transportation machine 

with the usual Cheerios and crumbs. The 

husband’s BMW can only be described 

as a “sanitarium.” He doesn’t even let his 

wife or kids ride in it. 

The results were shocking. “We 

found that cars are the moldiest of all 

forms of transportation,” Gerba said. 

Gerba added, “Germs tend to build 

up because people aren’t cleaning or 

disinfecting. The germs travel with us 

and everyone carries their germs and 

then leaves them behind.” Gerba found 

millions of bacteria on the door handles, 

seat and floor of the SUV, compared to 

just a few hundred in the husband’s new 

BMW. Gerba even found MRSA, a staph 

bacteria that can cause skin infections. 

“The germiest areas in your car are 

your dashboard, your change holder and 

where you keep your coffee, actually,” 

Gerba said. “The reason is... the air flows 

over your dashboard and so the bacteria 

tend to build up on that surface.” 

Germs hide in all the litle nooks and crannies of your dashboard 

Now we see that a proper detailing 

routine can go far beyond the aesthetic 

reasons. Your health may depend on it. 

This doesn’t mean you need to sanitize 

everything daily, but it does mean you 

should vacuum, clean carpets and seats 

with an interior cleaner and wipe down 

surfaces such as dash, doors, shift knob 

and steering wheel with an interior detail 

spray. 

So next time you come home after 

a drive and pick up a piece of fruit or a 

cookie, think twice about not washing 

your hands. I always keep a hand sanitizer 

in my glove box and make an effort to 

disinfect my hands prior to driving. As 

soon as I get home, a proper washing of 

hands under warm water with soap is 

something I couldn’t do without. This is 

probably why I seldom get sick and can 

be around to detail all your cars. 

A good carpet cleaning during your detail may turn out to be a cold preventative measure

The Orange Coast Region 2012 Concours 


The PCA/OCR will hold its 42nd annual 

Concours on Saturday, June 16. Concours 

Directors this year are Louise Bent and 

Nicole Cooper-Boggs, our immediate 

past President. Their hard work and that 

of their committee has resulted in what 

promises to be a truly vintage year for this 

Porsche pastime under the sun. 

The venue 

Shady Canyon Golf Club is at 100 Shady 

Canyon Drive in Irvine, California. It’s 

a private club with a Tom Fazio design 

golf course, well known in Southern 

California as one of the truly distinctive 

golf club experiences available. This year 

our cars will be displayed on the gorgeous 

slopes of the driving range. We will be 

showing our cars alongside the members’ 

automobiles in their Shady Canyon Car 

Show, which will add a little spice and 

variety to our normal concours. 

Schedule 

Typically Porsche events such as Concours 

and driving activities have o-dark thirty 

starts. That is you beat the sun into the 

sky. After downing your coffee on the 

fly and a few hours of frenetic morning 

activity, you return home to collapse on 

the sofa, with any afternoon action limited 

to snores as your significant other tries to 

concentrate on the television. Louise and 

Nicole are going to return your morning 

and allow some extra slumber on the 16th, 

with a schedule that is much kinder and 

more action packed than that so-earlymorning-dash. 

This year the judged cars can begin 

arriving at 11 am and we will have a paved 

area adjacent to the final grass-covered 

judging area for final preparation. Hint: 

bring wax. About 1 pm we will begin to 

stage the cars on the final Concours area 

(the beautiful grass in the driving range 

portion of Shady Canyon Golf Club.) 

Don’t worry; we’ll confiscate all clubs 

from sand wedge through the driver from 

the range! Cars entered into the display 

classes will be staged at 2 pm. We suggest 

arriving at the country club at least a halfhour 

before that time. 

The judging will begin at 2:30 pm 

and while the judges make their stately 

process through the nervous owners 

vying for trophy positions, the display 

class entries can stroll the grounds and 

look for lost golf balls. There will also be 

exhibitions by some of our Porsche club 

advertisers for you to peruse. Do bring 

chairs if you’d like to sit near your car, 

and remember, no food or animals may 

be brought in. 

A terrific BBQ buffet dinner will 

be served at approximately 5 pm. I have 

had the privilege of eating at the club 

(one of those lost balls you find might 

just be mine) and I can tell you the food 

is excellent. This is not a hot dog event! 

There will be music and dancing under 

the stars for those so inclined. This is the 

time to announce to your SO that they 

look marvelous under the moonlight… 

which always seems to me sort of a left- 

handed compliment. Don’t you like me 

in the daylight? It reminds me of the line 

in Casino Royale, “You know, when you 

stand in the shadows you look almost 

handsome.” But truly this will be a 

memorable day. 

How do you Sign Up? 

It is all so simple and, as you might 

imagine in the 21st century, the internet 

is involved. Go to the OCR web site at 

www.pcaocr.com. Read the details and 

then either download the registration 

form and mail it with check to our event 

registrar, Pat Renga, or go to www. 

motorsports.reg.com online to sign up 

with your credit card. You must be preregistered 

to attend. There is enough 

parking on the grass for as many Porsches 

as attend. However if you plan to bring 

another car, please register early as there 

is limited parking for these cars. No car 

will be admitted without the parking pass 

sent to you after you register. 

If you enter to be judged, the fee 

will be $50 and include one entry/dinner 

voucher. If you enter the Display, the 

fee will be $45 (also including one 

entry/dinner voucher.) Everyone else 

entering must purchased an entry/dinner 

ticket ($30 per adult, $15 per child 12 

and under). There will be wristbands 

in your registration packet for each 

member in your party. You will not be 

allowed in the gates without the parking 

pass nor onsite without a wristband. 

Shady Canyon is only charging us for 

the dinners, and is graciously providing 

many other support items like tables and 

linen for our exhibitors. 

concours categories 

This year we plan to have a Competition 

Corral in the Display area for our 

autocross aficionados. This is an exciting 

prospect to me, as I think many people 

will be interested in the variety of types 

and the modifications done to the speedier 

Porsches in our group. I hope we get 

some out- and-out racing Porsches, the 

kind that have to be trailered to events. 

These are the cars that appeal to the “need 

for speed” in all of us. We even hope they 

bring their trophies to show by their car. 

Entering a Porsche into the Display 

category (Park And Party) is a very good 

way to get inside the event with much 

less sweat equity and still be a part of the 

overall atmosphere. 

The judged cars are divided into 

several Divisions and Classes. These 

vary by year, model, restored and classes 

for cars that are pure survivors, with all 

of the patina that many years of regular 

usage can impart. It is sometimes here that 

you can see the rarest of the rare...early 

models such as the 356 that our own Joe 

Nedza displays, and later models like the 

all carbon-fiber Carerra GT. You can see 

the list of categories on our web site or 

at www.pca/zone8.com. You must check 

your class on your registration form. 

The PCA/OCR Concours is a 

tradition that grows in richness of texture 

and enjoyment by all of the members 

as each year we celebrate our shared 

passion. Once again I’ve volunteered 

to be the Emcee and this is one event I 

will truly not miss. Please do come out; 

it promises to be a wonderful day. And 

while you are there, say thanks to Louse 

and Nicole!

I Grew Up Overseas 

Story by Jim Miller 

I grew up overseas. I was born in 

Casablanca, Morocco and lived in 

Pakistan, Thailand, Australia and Zaire 

(now known as the Democratic Congo), 

which is where I graduated high school. 

Having lived in those countries, I 

encountered many different types of 

vehicles compared to what we have here 

in the United States. From Renaults, with 

stick shifts in the dash that you pushed in 

and out depending on the gear, to three 

wheeled “tuk tuk’s” in Thailand, to taxi’s 

in Zaire that were Mercedes but at times 

were so beat up you could look down and 

see the road where your feet were. I have 

seen some interesting vehicles. 

I have also traveled some interesting 

roads along the way, some on the 

right side of the road some on the left, 

depending on the country. Some roads 

had speed limits, some had none and 

looking back, I wish I had my Porsche 

for the roads that had no speed limits or 

virtually no laws. In Zaire as a 17 year 

old, I was stopped several times, mostly 

for no good reason, OK, maybe going 

down the main street of Kinshasa (the 

capital) at 100 miles per hour in my 

parents Nova was a good reason. While 

the officer threatened to give me a ticket, 

in truth I don’t believe they had any 

tickets; all they were looking for was a 

“gift”, which in that particular situation 

I happily paid. I have traveled on roads 

where they set up roadblocks with armed 

soldiers who pointed their guns first and 

asked questions later to the red dirt roads 

in the outback of Australia, so dusty that 

you ended up covered in dust inside the 

car. A lifetime of memories in the 18 

short years I spent prior to coming to the 

United States to go to college. 

Coming to the United States was 

like coming to a foreign country to me. 

When I first heard the expression, “Oh, 

that’s bad” I asked, “What’s wrong with 

that?” not knowing that they meant it 

was good. Go figure. In Australia an 

eraser is a “rubber” which when I asked 

in class if anyone had one caused quite a 

few laughs. 

So I arrived at USC 

driving my first car, a 

red Ford Pinto that my 

parents had given me. It 

wasn’t much of a joy to 

drive, but it got me from 

point A to point B and I 

Jim’s dream car 

am just happy I never got 

rear ended in that car. Having never 

been responsible for having to maintain 

a car, after having to put in new rotors 

I learned quickly that when the brakes 

squeak it is a good idea to go get them 

checked. Along the way, I have had a 

Ford Ranchero GT, two Mustangs, a 

VW Jetta, a Honda Accord, a Volvo, two 

Suburbans, two Mercedes (gee I must be 

old to have had this many vehicles) and 

my red (it always had to be red, always 

had to be stick shift) 2005 Porsche 997. 

How did I get to the Porsche? Well, 

one of my fraternity brothers at USC had 

a 911 SC that I just absolutely fell in 

love with, from the way it looked to 

the instrumentation and all the gauges 

that just fascinated me. I vowed at that 

time that one day I would own a Porsche. 

Every time I would see a Porsche (it had 

to be a 911), I would drool, committing 

time and again to one day owning a 

Porsche. 

Along the way (there were all those 

other cars, remember?) I graduated 

college, having squeezed four years of 

college into five, got a job, several along 

the way, got married, bought a house, had 

two sons, became a CPA, got divorced, 

then met and married the woman of my 

dreams, Norma. She came with two sons 

so between us we have four wonderful 

sons. Not only is she beautiful and smart, 

I quickly found out how lucky I was 

when she suggested we get a big screen 

TV! OK, was my incredulous reply. No 

need to talk my way into getting one. 

Still, with all that went on in our 

lives, including starting our own CPA 

firm (yes I am lucky to have also married 

an accountant) and sending two boys off 

to college, no Porsche. I danced around 

getting one by getting several Mercedes, 

having determined that I really liked 

German made cars but that it was not 

practical with kids to get a sports car. 

Maybe it would have to wait until all the 

kids were through college. 

But six years ago after another 

grueling tax season, I told my wife I was 

going down to the dealership to “look at” 

some Porsches. Being a numbers person 

and knowing about depreciation etc., 

I was not interested in a new Porsche, 

though I did look at them. However, a red 

Porsche 997 with only 3,000 miles on it 

caught my eye (remember I said it had to 

be red) and being a certified pre-owned 

car, the warranty was better than a new 

one. I was still just “looking” when the 

salesman agreed to let me take it out for 

a test drive. As I had always envisioned 

“my” Porsche to be, it was a manual 

transmission. Getting into the driver’s 

seat, looking over all of the instruments 

(I am a gadget guy), buckling up, putting 

my right hand up (oops it needed to be 

my left hand) to start the ignition and 

then hearing the roar of the engine, well, 

the car had me at start up. Driving it was 

pure bliss, from the surface streets to the 

freeway the car handled like no other car 

I had before, including the Mercedes. 

No more “looking”, I had to have this 

car. So, back at the dealership I had 

to make the call to Norma who said, “I 

thought you said you were just looking!” 

But being the wonderful wife that she is 

and knowing that my dream car was the 

Porsche, she agreed to my purchasing 

the Porsche and came to the dealership 

for a test ride next to me in my dream 

car. I took it home that night in a pure 

state of joy and disbelief. 

The Porsche was my daily driver 

for four and a half years until we moved 

to Huntington Harbor while our office

Auto-X Corner: 

It Just Doesn’t Get Better Than This 

Story by Rick Neff 

Christine Newcomer and Christian Van Fleet give a thumbs-up 

to Bill Brewster for sponsoring April Autocross 

April 15th marked the third event in 

the 2012 Walter’s Porsche Auto-X 

Championship Series. Approximately 100 

participants were greeted by a Chamber 

of Commerce Southern California 

day and another terrific course at the 

expansive El Toro facility. In addition 

to the generous sponsorship by Walter’s 

Porsche, we are fortunate to have GMG- 

Global Motorsport as our Series Support 

Sponsor and Bill Brewster, an independent 

Porsche shop in San Clemente, provided 

April’s event sponsorship. 

Our sponsors are integral not only 

to Auto-X but to the overall Porsche 

experience. For instance, getting to 

know the team at Walter’s gave me the 

confidence to recommend a friend drive 

from San Diego to their dealership for 

her new 997. She was thrilled with the 

experience. GMG? Well, in addition 

to supporting our Auto-X, GMG was 

simultaneously campaigning two GT3 

Cup cars at the ALMS race in Long 

Beach – quite a testimony to their broad 

involvement with the Porsche marque! 

Later in the week, I stopped by GMG to 

order some parts for my 944. I had driven 

my 18-year-old 968 that day and the 

folks there were kind in complementing 

the 968 even though they had millions of 

dollars worth of race machines in their 

service bays. GMG’s parts team was 

very helpful and got me squared away in 

short order. As for Brewster’s shop, I first 

came to know about that from friends who 

own 356s. Those folks are meticulous 

about their cars, to say the least, so 

that immediately created an impression 

for me of Brewster’s shop. Since that 

introduction, I’ve learned that in addition 

to a maintenance/repair facility they have 

a separate engine/transmission shop. I 

have heard nothing but complimentary 

accounts of them from folks with cars 

ranging from vintage to the most recent 

models. 

Our venue… 

I vividly remember the first Auto-X I ever 

attended – the details of which provide a 

stunning contrast to the Orange Coast 

Region PCA program. It was a cloudy, 

40° day in Baltimore, Maryland. The 

cramped course was set up in a Sears 

parking lot and the winning time was a 

measly 29 seconds. As I enjoyed April’s 

warm weather, the long course, the food 

provided by Brewster’s team and live 

music performed by the band 2fifths 

(check them out at www.2fifths.com), I 

wondered if folks at other autoX events 

could even imagine how awesome our 

program is. Auto-X participant Brian 

Vaniman is a member of 2fifths and was 

playing some pretty intense bass between 

his runs – how cool is that? Anyway, it’s 

not uncommon to see 80 or 90 second 

laps at our events. In fact, some of our 

events are held on the exact same 1.25mi 

course featured in the Top Gear program 

– quite a far cry from a Sears parking lot. 

It’s very exciting to drive our cars 

in a spirited manner without the fear 

Weight shifting forward and giving the front tires more traction as Vinh 

Nguyen’s Boxster sheds speed going into a turn 

of red lights in the mirror. It offers the 

opportunity to explore and occasionally 

exceed the car’s limits in a safe 

environment. 

Dennis Ferguson uses some quick hands (and 

probably the accelerator) to correct his 944 

Turbo’s drift 

So much of that depends on weight 

transfer – something we stress in our 

February control clinic and throughout 

the year through our instructor program. 

This can be seen in the accompanying 

photos as the weight shifts toward the 

nose of Vinh Nguyen’s Boxster under 

braking, as Dennis Ferguson uses his 

throttle to get the weight back on his rear 

wheels after crossing up the steering on 

his 944 Turbo and, especially, as Steve 

Wong lifts the front wheel of his 911 off 

the ground (!) under acceleration. Your 

local constable would raise an eyebrow 

at any of these behaviors but they’re 

welcomed at Auto-X.

Beauty Up for the Garden Tour 

THe Garden tour left from Original Mike’s right after breakfast 

Most of you know that I have led the May 

Garden Tour for five years now. This year 

there was a little pre-story to the Garden 

Tour: Somehow I had a minor buckle in 

my front fender, barely noticeable, until 

that dreaded day… In a 993 the under 

seat area is known as an impenetrable 

wasteland. So, when at a stop I was 

“helping” to look for something under 

the passenger seat, I just barely took my 

foot off the brake…boom. No damage at 

all to the Audi but when I got home and 

washed my car –wow- the front fender 

paint looked like a 1000 piece jigsaw 

puzzle. Now how could I have Gynger 

lead the garden tour when she was all 

wrinkly? What to do? 

My last care center had gone out of 

business so I was at a loss. Who to the 

rescue but Ron and Toni from European 

Collision Center, not only an advertiser 

but active members. Toni has been on 

every garden tour and understood my 

dilemma! I have been trying to support 

our advertisers and I find that they go 

more than the distance and support us 

right back. They picked up my car, 

gave me a super nice loaner (and I had to 

take advantage of the extra space to do a 

little home depot run to prep my garden 

for spring) Ron from ECC took fabulous 

care of me, even emailing me pictures of 

the work prior to completion. Two days 

before the tour Gynger looked fabulous! 

The paint matched perfectly. 

Almost as beautiful as the flowers 

on our tour. A great group started off 

from Original Mikes and headed up to

Book Review: 

LE MANS 

Article by Bruce Herrington 

Le mans The behind-the-Scenes 

Story of the big race, by Stirling moss 

published in 1960 by Hanover House, 

Garden city, N. Y. 

Stirling Moss is still considered by 

many to be the world’s greatest Formula 

1 driver: “the greatest driver never to 

win the World Championship”. Turns 

out that Stirling Moss is also an author, 

with over 20 books to his credit as author 

or co-author. 

One of Moss’s first books is the 

subject of this review. Most books about 

the 24 hour race at Le Mans are about 

the race, car positions, accidents and the 

winners. They tend to be written from an 

outsiders or overview perspective. Le 

Mans The Behind-the-Scenes Story of 

the Big Race truly presents an insider’s 

perspective. It is virtually a diary of the 

7 days the Aston Martin team spent in 

France, in June 1959, in it’s tenth bid 

for outright victory in the Twenty-Four 

Hour Grand Prix of Endurance. 

After covering the interesting 

background of the David Brown 

industrial empire and the acquisitions 

and merger of Lagonda and Aston 

Martin, the real story begins on 

Monday and the arrival in the village 

of La Chartre-sur-le-Loir, France, of 

the team transporter and the workshop 

van,. Other team members arrive in 

other vehicles including two Lagonda 

“Shooting Brakes” (station wagons to us 

Yanks), capable of 100MPH. This at a 

time when the then current Porsche 356A 

tested by The Autocar had a Top Speed 

of 102MPH. 

Aston Martin was known as one 

of the best organized racing teams in 

Europe and the book includes a copy 

of the “Movement Schedule” showing 

in detail who goes where, when and by 

what means of transport, for the entire 

ten days of Aston Martin’s Le Mans 

1959 operation. It is precise enough to

Rice’s Ramblings: 

My 911s Engine History & Why 

Story by Lee Rice 

The 3.6 Turbo engine is running and 

leak free! As mentioned last month, I 

have, yet again, upgraded engines in my 

‘evergreen’ 1968 911. This has become 

‘normal over the last 20 years and I have 

learned a lot about Porsche engineering 

as well as the after-market engine 

products in the process. Perhaps a little 

background is worth mentioning: 

First of all, my 1968 911 has had its 

chassis, transaxle, suspension, brakes, 

electronics, and everything substantially 

upgraded over the last 40years. 

The original 2.0L 130 HP ‘normal’ 

911 engine ran fine but lacked any upper 

rpm horsepower and low end torque was 

almost a joke. Yet, I loved the precise way 

that 2.0L engine ran. It was strong for it’s 

130 H.P. and always delivered exactly 

what it had every time. Another thing, 

it sounded fantastic. It sounded like a 

racing engine. And that was not a product 

of thousand dollar computer tune-able 

mufflers. It was the sound of a precision 

made Porsche engine. After 4 years of 

2.0 liters, I upgraded to a 2.2Liter 911S 

engine. I even helped build that engine 

and it was a marvelous engine. The 2.2 S 

was much stronger and more of a racing 

engine than a street engine. And, pardon 

my emotions, but when I was running 

time trials with the PCA I ran with open 

exhausts-short Megaphones, and no air 

filtration. The sound was as close to a 

917 at full song than anything else I have 

ever heard. Those early 911 engines 

were fantastic. Especially to drive ‘onthe-cam, 

flat-out! And they ran, and ran, 

and ran. 

My 911 was a daily driver and 

that meant Garden Grove to LAX daily. 

Unfortunately, the 2.0 and 2.2 engine 

lacked any real torque to deal with heavy 

traffic and that was prior to the I-105 

Freeway and the widened I-405freeway. 

Those trips to the airport in the early am 

were fun and never a problem, but coming 

home in the afternoon was frustrating. 

Especially in my 911 when another car 

‘lane jumped’ you, cutting you off so you 

had to hit the brakes and hope the guy 

behind you saw your brake lights! Early 

911/912 brake & tail lights were terrible. 

(I upgraded mine early on). What I really 

needed was more torque and not driving 

around in 2nd & 3rd gear with a lot of 

revs! I’ve done a lot of that and it gets 

tiring – and noisy. 

I found more torque in 1985 when 

I built a 3.0 liter RS engine from old 

Turbo engine parts. That was one of the 

most difficult engines I ever built. In 

the 1980s the thing was building a 2.7 

RS specification engines. I knew of no 

one who built a street/track 3.0Liter RS 

engine back then. I became one of the 

first. I really wanted a 3.0 RS Carrera, 

but building a 3.0 RS engine was as 

much of that dream as I could do. This 

certainly was more challenging than a 

2.7 and it was all worth it as the 3.0L 

RS had all the advantages of Porsche’s 

newest technology. My 3.0L RS engine 

had lots of torque and I almost never got 

cut-off again in LAX to home traffic! 

I drove the 3.0L RS daily and even 

ran two events at Riverside Raceway. 

Having torque to pull through slow turns 

and not down shift was a strange new 

experience. I even drove the old way 

once and ended up spinning the rear 

wheels on full throttle exiting out of the 

turns!- especially turn 6. Torque driving 

was truly different. 

In 1995 I had a hot buyer for the 

3.0L RS engine and it went into another 

happy 911. 

Then after years of my brother 

telling me how great and how much fun 

his turbo engine was, and having built 

some customer turbo engine to their 

specifications, I decided to build my own 

turbo engine, the way I wanted to. 

Turbo Engine Nr 1 (930/53) was a 

(tired) 1976 3.0L turbo with worn out 

cylinders and pistons but everything 

else was “newer” and I made my own 

header/heat exchangers for an early 

K27-7006 turbocharger. I installed a 

C-2 Intercooler, modestly ported the 

heads to 36mm, installed “SC” Cams 

and Raceware® hardware for the rod 

bolts & nuts and head studs washers and

The Chino AIr Show 

Article by Michael Knudsen 

Here’s a beautiful example of a P-38 Lightening 

For those who went to the show, you 

know it was a terrific day. For most of 

us in Orange County, it was little more 

than a half hour trip (241 to 91 to 71, exit 

Euclid). No long lines to get in, no huge 

crowds, plenty of room at the fences to 

watch the event and take photos. And 

Sunday was a beautiful day -- sunny, 

breezy and not too warm. If there was a 

“bug on the windshield”, it was parking 

your shiny ride in the dusty field. There 

was a tram to take you from the parking 

area to the fight line, but the walk was a 

great way to see all the planes and plane 

parts all over the site.

The most compelling stories of 

the day came from the ladies’ entrants. 

Sharon Stewart came out to dust off 

skills she had honed years ago - driving 

BMW 2002, if I recall correctly. 

Charging around the course under the 

skilled tutelage of Patricia Lynn Taylor, 

Sharon was soon posting times that gave 

Auto-X instructor husband Steve cause 

to refocus. At the end of the day, Sharon 

drove their Boxster S to a 65.315 while 

Steve posted a 63.542. 

Auto-X instructor Margie Evarts 

coaxed more and more out of her Boxster 

S with each lap, besting husband Troy 

with a 58.540 to his 58.905. (I happened 

to be riding with Margie on her last lap 

and suspect she may have had another 

couple of tenths to gain on this day – 

certainly getting my dead weight out of 

the car couldn’t have hurt) 

Relatively new to Auto-X, Courtney 

Coad gave Carolyn Neff a good reason 

to brush up on her threshold braking 

techniques. They wrestle their ’87 944 

Turbos around Auto-X and DE events 

without the modern conveniences of 

ABS, PASM, or PSM. Carolyn had the 

low time for April with a 63.737. 

Finally, the hug in the picture was 

the culmination of a long battle. CC11 

entrants Joann Lynch in her Cayman R 

and Christine Newcomer in her Cayman 

S finished first and second respectively 

in their class. This class is extremely 

competitive as the drivers and cars 

perform at a very high level. Joann 

posted a 54.692 and Christine a 55.484. 

The ladies couldn’t help but take an extra 

moment during the awards ceremony to 

celebrate beating last year’s Auto-X Top 

Gun, Carl Vanderschuit… well done! 

It’s clear we won’t have El Toro 

much longer. If you are even mildly

nuts. I also made and installed my first 

prototype fuel enrichment system called 

the “After-Burner.” This simply prevents 

lean fuel mixture on boost. 

I had this engine running and 

“dialed in” within two months. That 3.0L 

turbo revved up so quickly that it was a 

challenge to drive it smoothly on boost. 

Boost lag was no problem. It was making 

boost from 2,500 rpm on. It was fun, a bit 

of a wild child but a strong one. 

Turbo #2 was an upgrade to 3.2 Liters 

with higher compression with 98mm JE 

pistons and NiCom® rebuilt cylinders. I 

also did 40 mm ports, 40mm alloy injector 

stacks, 964 cams, K27-7200 turbo and a 

964 Intermediate all-steel gear drive. I 

also installed a PowerFlow® air cleaner 

unit for the larger ports and increased 

air flow to the engine. This engine had 

torque where I had never experienced it 

before and was easier to drive on boost. 

I also installed a Centeforce® semi-puck 

clutch for high performance street use. 

I deliberately abused this Centerforce 

clutch since they told me I could do 

that, “without any reliability concerns”. 

I wrote about my experiences with 

flaming rear tire burn-outs while going 

up hill, on the I-55, shifting from 5th to 

4th,, and on full boost (1.2BAR) at 65 

mph. This was truly amazing and a bit 

scary too! However it proved a point and 

that is that nothing broke or wore out. 

So, I proved that Centerforce lives up 

to what they claim! The 3.2 turbo easily 

handled 1.2 BAR of boost as well, so all 

my reliability concerns were satisfied 

and I realized I had a great engine! Later 

with this 3.2 Turbo engine, I upgraded 

my 911 with a fantastic G-50 special 

built transaxle! 

Turbo #3 was a 1992 C-2 Turbo 

3.3Liter engine (M30/69) I built for 

my brother in 1993 and has been in 

‘our family’ of three different owners. I 

upgraded to my R/P Turbo S by removing 

the hybrid EZ 69 ignition system and 

backdating the ignition to an earlier 

turbo mechanical distributor with a 

standard 6-pin CDI box. The fuel system 

was backdated to a RoW (930/66) fuel 

system with my After-Burner enrichment 

system, 40 mm ports stacks, 964 cams, 

my own header/heat exchangers, 

Raceware hardware, a standard K27- 

7200 turbocharger, and a low restriction 

muffler. The C-2 crankshaft-fan pulley 

was upgraded to a 3.8 RSR twin belt 

pulley. One for fan-alternator and the 

other for Air Conditioning. A Power 

Flow air filtration system was installed. 

The C-2 3.3 liter was upgraded to a 

3.4 liter with 98mm high compression 

Mahle® pistons/cylinders and a Ruf- 

Sachs “Sport” clutch. My own design 

header/heat exchangers, heater ducting, 

and detailing with light aircraft grey 

powder coating sheet metal. Since the 

C-2 engines (3.3L 7 3.6L) do not have 

an engine mounted oil cooler I installed 

a 993 Fan cooled oil cooler in the right 

front fender well. Oil temps NEVER 

exceed 240° F. 

This engine truly revealed how nice 

torque driving can be. It loves to put-put 

around in higher gear and cruise slowly. 

Or it can unleash a stomach flattening blast 

with only 0.9 BAR boost! I have used a 

dial in boost control for adverse weather 

driving so I can back off to 0.5 BAR 

boost with the flip of a wrist. This insures 

a smooth safe lane change or passing in 

traffic without worry of unwanted boost 

spinning your rear wheels, especially 

in damp or wet weather. Since I had 

an empty air condition belt pulley, I 

installed my own A/C system with a C- 

2 front mounted fan-condenser and late 

A/C compressor. It works fantastically! 

And since I have more torque than I can 

use, why not be cool in hot weather. 

Today, in May of 2012, there is again 

a new engine in my 911. I now have a new 

1994 3.6 turbo (M64/50) engine. This is 

the last CIS Turbo engine Porsche built 

and this one is upgraded substantially. 

The stock 3.3L & 3.6L Turbo engines 

use a “Jetronic” system and a “Hybrid 

ignition system” I had to re-engineer a 

back date for the fuel and ignition system 

with the older all-mechanical systems as 

the stock system can not be altered for 

performance. 

First the engine was disassembled 

and the internals were all carefully 

inspected. The crankshaft was crack 

checked, wear checked and after OKed 

had the center main journal drilled 

and grooved for improved oil flow. 

A CCW (counter clock wise) ignition 

distributor gear was installed.* The rods 

were overhauled, match balanced and 

assembled with Raceware Hardware. 

Standard Pistons/Cylinders (100mm) 

Finsihed Nr 1 03-13 2012 - High front 

were inspected and found to be in “new’ 

wear category. The steel I-Gear-oil pump 

and drive were perfect, as were the chains 

and long ‘banana’ chain ramps. All chain 

hardware was perfect and reassembled. 

The chain boxes were powder coated 

silver to cleanup the engine appearance. 

Cylinder Heads were given a good 

valve job and ported to 40 mm, and new 

40 mm. TurboKraft® aluminum CIS 

injector stacks were installed, and these 

new stacks fit perfectly, and look great. 

Unlike some other after market ones. 964 

cams were installed, and timed for mid 

range use. The fan shroud and fan were 

painted-powder coated red and installed 

with the fan-alternator and modified 

wiring harness. 

The silver 40 mm powder coated 

intake manifold was installed and 

after that everything got a bit more 

complicated. 

The 1994 Turbo”EZ-69 hybrid 

ignition system” was not tunable and 

does not like boost higher than standard 

boost settings (0.78BAR). so it had 

to go! I back dated to an earlier CCW 

(counter clock wise) ignition distributor 

and had to substantially make clearance 

on the distributor housing and the left 

chain box top and top chain box cover 

to it fit and work. This made the timing 

fully adjustability for any timing needs. 

Then I installed a late 930/66 RoW triple 

vacuum box on the ignition distributor 

and fit it perfectly into the 3.6 engine 

case. The 3.6 turbo throttle was modified 

with a vacuum tube for my back date 

idle retard ignition distributor. The 

second vacuum tube was used for the 

ignition distributor’s advance feature. I 

fabricated these two idle vacuum ports 

where none existed before. 

The fuel injection system is from 

a RoW CIS (1983-1989 930/66) bolted

In the “Lyons Den” 


If you read this car magazine you are 

presumably a “car nut”, not the kind 

with threads but the kind with a soul that 

somewhere has some motor oil, or the 

equivalent, lubricating an inner interest 

in things automotive. It means in some 

measure you are kindred to me as I too 

have that magic “oil” of curiosity about 

all things wheeled and winged… 

So imagine my happy surprise when 

my friend Terry Hardgrave called to 

invite me to visit General Lyon’s private 

car collection at his estate. A positive 

response was near instantaneous as 

would be yours. Terry is my friend with 

the 1930s Model A Ford in immaculate 

condition and he and I do visit the “Donut 

Derelicts” gathering from time to time. 

His wife Cyndi happens to work for one 

of the Lyons family enterprises so it was 

through her and Terry’s kind invitation 

that I was privileged to see this fabulous 

car collection and to be escorted by none 

other than the General himself. 

General William Lyon is an 

accomplished and successful American. 

He has an air museum located next to 

Orange County Airport. You can read 

about that and a little of his very full 

biography here: http://lyonairmuseum. 

org/history/. Suffice it for our purposes to 

say that having met success in business 

the General has been able to afford an 

avid interest and collection of notable 

motorcars. Not at the expense of other 

interests, I am glad to say. He and his 

wife are also notable philanthropists, and 

I am sure are happy that they have raised 

a son who is also an able businessman. In 

addition, their son is also a “car guy” and 

races Porsches at historic events. I have 

written with pleasure my intermittent 

acquaintance with him in past Pandos. 

The General’s collection is housed 

in a very beautifully decorated “garage” 

behind his estate in a local Southern 

California golfing community. I have 

“garage” in parentheses because it is 

“garage” as “Taj Mahal” is to “hovel”. 

Complete with marble floors and walls 

Early fords brought out to greet us! 

filled with the memorabilia of a lifetime 

of collecting and activity. 

Such is the General’s character that 

especially for our arrival he had brought 

several of his early Fords up to park in 

the driveway. This was because of my 

friend Terry’s special interest and his 

own ownership of the Model A. So, our 

tour began even before we entered the 

garage whereupon the usual reaction 

would be the same as mine; a dropped 

jaw and wide-eyed stare at cars of such 

distinction that even now, years after their 

production, they would draw crowds on 

any boulevard. 

Packards, Cadillacs (V-16), Bugattis 

and even a Porsche Carerra GT all 

present; in running order; cleaned, keys 

at hand. It took a while before I could 

even begin to voice my appreciation of 

the automotive art that I was so privileged 

to see before me. And with the General 

providing his deep knowledge of each

Lyon’s Den: 


car and the route through which he came 

to ownership of each, they became more 

than impressive artifacts. They drew 

character and heart with each a special 

meaning and journey to this collection 

under the sun in California. 

As I understood the General most 

of the cars came to his interest because 

of some connections with his youth, 

growing up in Southern California, 

near Hollywood as a child of the 1930s, 

seeing glamorous movies stars motoring 

down Sunset Boulevard in long hooded 

Isottas and Rolls Royce. Certainly there 

was more than enough car and legend 

to excite any young and impressionable 

young man. 

The General shared with us the 

story of his first automobile. A Ford 

Model T. He acquired this in the 1930s. 

I am sure many young men of that era 

cut their driving skills in “Tin Lizzies” 

just like the General. The car was for 

sale for the lofty sum of $5. Like any 

other young man, the General had to 

call his father for permission to buy the 

car. His father, impressed by the thought 

of what kind of car one could possibly 

buy for $5 (even then) agreed and the 

deal was done. Learning on the fly to 

drive the old filly, the General made it 

home not entirely incident free. Arriving 

home he decided the car needed a new 

paint job and applied by brush, no 

less, a new coat of Pink. In the very 

conservative neighborhood some 

neighbors naturally voiced concern 

about this new and unmistakable 

addition to the local fauna. But 

Mrs. Lyon, his mother, stood by her 

son and the car remained for some 

time. I personally believe that the 

General’s mother knew that any 

shenanigans in that car would be 

instantly spotted and therefore she had 

gained an entire neighborhood of allies 

in keeping her son safe. 

A fascinating part of the collection 

is the first and last Bugatti ever built. 

The first is a small car from around 1912 

with chain drive. It’s so small it looks 

like a child’s toy, maybe it was? The last 

dates from the 1950s and is a handsome 

roadster in blue. It has the unmistakable 

Bugatti radiator, in a shape that wouldn’t 

be out of place as a hand made liquor 

decanter. The remarkable thing to me 

is that it is from the 1950s, as my belief 

had been that Bugatti had gone out of 

business around the years of World War 

II. 

On the tour I took many photographs 

and I hope by those accompanying this 

article that all of our readers can gain at 

least a small appreciation for the special 

nature of this car collection and of the 

man who has built it 

over the years. I am 

truly appreciative of 

the invitation to visit 

the collection and for 

the time extended by 

the General! 

Rice’s Ramblings: 

(Continued from Page 23 ) 

on after re-plating and simplifying the 

hose arrangements. I installed my After- 

Burner fuel enrichment unit for insurance 

against leaning while on boost power, 

then installed a hybrid KKK K29/27 

turbocharger with a larger compressor 

wheel for the larger engine. New larger 

flow mufflers still installed and in the 

testing stages. 

So what is the 3.6 liter turbo like in 

an early 911 chassis? More of everything. 

1st impression, it revs easier than the 3.4 

did. And it makes smooth controllable 

power as boost comes up. The standard 

3.6 liter “964” cam drive system is 

quiet. The chain gear sound I hear on 

all other 911 engines is not there with 

the 3.6 engine. This is a revelation as I 

have trouble with high frequency noise 

from years of working on jet engines and 

flying noisy airplanes. 

All 901-911-930 cam-chain drives 

are noisy. Unfortunately I hear sound 

nobody else does and that causes me 

some difficulty. Thankfully, the 964-cam 

drive has none of that noise. The torque 

on the 3.6L turbo is just awesome, even 

using only 0.5 BAR, which is my normal 

boost for learning how the engine works. 

I did have one problem: I had some nasty 

oil leaks on this engine that took a week 

to repair. So far NO LEAKS! 

Driving my old 911 with it’s original 

2.0L engine compared to driving a 

performance built 3.6L turbo engine is 

not the same in any way. The starting, 

warm-up, low speed driving and sounds 

are totally different. Everything is totally 

different. Power is now eased into 

cautiously. The stock 3.6turbo engine 

can be dangerous, and a performance 

built 3.6turbo can be, well…a lot more 

challenging. It’s all fun, but what I 

appreciate is the rewarding knowledge 

that I have experienced such a range of 

Porsche engines in the same evolved 

911. 

I will follow up with a story 

covering some of the issues involved 

when installing a later 3.6 engine into an 

earlier 911. 

Godspeed

Garden Tour: 


And the heavens rained down on the God’s beautiful bounty 

were two zeroscape gardens that proved, 

without a doubt, that you can have color, 

texture and variety without running the 

water bill higher than the roof. Several 

members took off to the car part swap 

& picnic that was the same day but 

most of us drove on. Having heard the 

announcement of a food truck at Circle 

Porsche at Breakfast, after all we were in 

Long Beach, we opted to check it out for 

lunch and were graciously welcomed by 

Adrianne and Michelle to partake in this 

new trendy eating experience at Circle 

Porsche. Thanks to Circle for feeding us 

and thanks to the buffed up firemen for 

preparing our food! 

We were especially lucky to be in 

the vicinity of Janine’s home. She, of 

the green genie fame, who has joined 

us on every garden tour. Her use of pots 

was nothing short of spectacular, We 

received lots of planting pointers,like 

using mirrors to heat up those plants 

needing lots of sun, and a few cuttings 

were given out. 

The other highlights for me were 

the apartments with a center garden with 

scented roses, climbing geraniums and 

spring blooms everywhere. And then 

there was the piece de resistance: The 

million dollar craftsman house with a 

true zen style garden. Even the sculpture 

integrated here was a true masterpiece 

Other group members were feeling 

as giddy as I. Janine Cormier and Toni 

Schmidt sent this to share: 

It was a perfect day for a garden tour 

in North County, and over the line a bit 

into Long Beach. What a treat it was! 

We saw everything from tropical oasis to 

desert delights. More and more, it seems 

water features are becoming the norm, 

but they will never take the place of the 

English-cottage style gardens swimming 

in trellis roses, clematis vines, foxgloves 

and bedding flowers with lots of bees and 

butterflies. Many, many thanks to our 

energetic Maryann Marks, who organizes 

this event each year, plans our route and 

prints out Mapquest directions to make it 

easy for all of us to follow. This is not an 

easy task, as the Marylou Heard Garden 

Tour is an annual self-guided two-day 

tour of over a hundred gardens located 

throughout Orange County and Long 

Beach. Maryann varies our route each 

year so we can drive fun roads and see 

as many gardens as possible in areas that 

we may not otherwise frequent.

Editors Notes: (Continued from Page 5) 

Some of the wonder from Gareys trip to the Lyon’s Den. See 

page 26 for more 

have is what it is, thanks to good friends. 

But I’m back and into accentuating the 

Positive. 

And now to things automotive and 

porsche 

I am beginning to see the new model 

991 out on the streets. I think this is a 

particularly handsome rendition of our 

classic “911” and it looks pretty good 

in it’s natural habitat, the roads. Porsche 

engineering has tuned a nice sound into 

the motor exhaust, they’ve captured a 

little motor sports in the tune I believe. 

To my mind, the 993 may have been the 

prettiest of the “old” 911’s. I thought the 

997 issue was a looker as well. The new 

991 may be close to the “classic” 993 in 

my eye. How do you feel about it? 

correction! 

Reader Nick Begovich called in to correct 

what he feels is a mistake in our article 

about the timing of 

the 904 versus the 

911. He pointed 

out that the 904 

actually preceded 

the introduction of 

the 911. He should 

know, as he is one 

of the fortunate few 

that purchased a 904, 

which he says he did 

in 1964. 

Of course, my 

knowledge of this 

doesn’t diminish the 

accomplishments of 

Porsche, if anything it enhances them. 

Looking at that 904, knowing that it’s 

nearest contemporary road car was 

the 356 really gives an appreciation of 

the advanced engineering and design 

capabilities at Porsche in this era. Thanks 

for the call Nick. 

Innocents Abroad 

I am so excited to be returning to the 

Autobahn Adventures Porsche Tour this 

year. It should be a pretty special year as 

we will be driving the aforementioned 

991, and on the autobahn. I think 

substantial rumors are growing that 

unlimited speed sections will soon join 

the Dodo in extinction. So, another 

legend will disappear and I would like to 

have one last (maybe more?) attempt on 

the “Cooper Land Speed Record” before 

we lose the chance. Buckle up! 

bon voyage 

Last month we attended a “going away” 

party for Bob and Judy Savic. They 

are moving to Paso Robles, it will sure 

cut down their commute time to the 

vineyards! Bob and Judy have led what 

we used to call “the Tour De Grape” for 

some years. I have been lucky enough to 

go on several and I can’t ever remember 

a bad time. Well, I did run out of Advil 

once…. but that wasn’t their fault. Good 

luck to Bob and Judy, I am sure we’ll see 

you again. 

pepto bismol 

By the time you read this I will have 

enjoyed the “New Member” picnic as 

put on by Mr. C.L. Jarusek, or “naked 

gun” as I think of him. C.L. contends that 

I did not get ptomaine poisoning at his 

picnic last year. I think he is worried as 

he was the chef and wants to protect his 

reputation. He even spelled “ptomaine” 

correctly in a recent email. I was so proud 

of him. However, he doesn’t have much 

of a reputation to worry about, at least as 

a chef…but it should be a very fun day. 

And now my friends 

Oh dear, I see I am coming to the end 

of another column, or better be with the 

space available. However when it comes 

to our club and the friends I’ve made 

during my association, it is easy for me 

to keep on talking and writing. I see them 

as special friends and special memories. 

You can have them as well, just come out 

to one of our events!

Book Review: (Continued from Page 13) 

do a USMC Logistics Officer proud. 

An item of particular interest to some 

American readers is that 1959 was the 

year that Carroll Shelby was part of 

the Aston Martin team, (and co-driver 

of the winning car it turned out), so his 

movements are duly prescribed in the 

Schedule. 

Tuesday efforts started in earnest 

with the GT car off to technical 

inspection, with one of the race cars 

diverted to a road outside of town where 

pit stop practice was conducted. The 

book then describes how that night, all 

the cars returned to the same stretch of 

road for headlight adjustment. How 

different from modern techniques with 

optical headlight adjustment equipment, 

even self adjusting lights. That’s what 

makes this book a must buy – its intimate 

rendition of how a race team worked in 

the days of hands-on involvement, where 

the human element was an integral part of 

racing. And of course, Stirling’s personal 

observations about other drivers, team 

managements, and other cars, are in a 

word, ‘priceless’. 

The third chapter is a blow-byblow’ 

commentary on the race. There 

is something captivating about a report 

full of ‘I did...’ rather than ‘Moss did...’, 

Interestingly, Moss’s car succumbed to 

a broken valve after just “five hours of 

motoring”. This left him with some 19 

hours to observe, and comment on, the 

trials and tribulations of other cars and 

teams, as well as to tour and describe 

the infield ‘circus’ which is so much a 

part of the Le Mans experience for many 

tourists. 

The final chapter of the book, 

consists of interviews with the winning 

drivers. these interviews were conducted 

by Stirling Moss, not of Stirling Moss. 

the bokk consists of four chapters, 

128 6x9 inch pages, illustrated with 

black and white photos, as befits the era. 

Most of the pictures show preparation 

work. Only a few are the ‘cars-at-speed’ 

genre. And there is Porsche content 

in this book – there are two photos of 

Porsche RSKs.
