full of splendor and variety. It was<br />

something different from wh<strong>at</strong> had<br />

been done in <strong>the</strong> past. Innov<strong>at</strong>ion is<br />

wh<strong>at</strong> keeps Porsche ahead of <strong>the</strong> pack.<br />

A small tweak here, a slight change<br />

<strong>the</strong>re, makes all <strong>the</strong> difference.<br />

As we continue forward through <strong>the</strong><br />

rest of <strong>the</strong> year, your board of directors<br />

will continue to find innov<strong>at</strong>ive ways<br />

to make this an even gre<strong>at</strong>er club for<br />

everyone to enjoy.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fun is just getting started and<br />

<strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> year promises to be even<br />

better than <strong>the</strong> first half.<br />

So, comeout and have some fun,<br />

because before you know it, <strong>the</strong> year<br />

will be over.<br />

In st<strong>at</strong>istics, any group of d<strong>at</strong>a has <strong>at</strong><br />

least one large exclusion for which<br />

<strong>the</strong>re is no explan<strong>at</strong>ion. <strong>The</strong>se are called<br />

various things, often an “anomaly.” but<br />

I find th<strong>at</strong> word has too many neg<strong>at</strong>ive<br />

connot<strong>at</strong>ions. I like “sport;” quite<br />

often used for <strong>the</strong> same definition a<br />

d<strong>at</strong>a point th<strong>at</strong> skews way, way off <strong>the</strong><br />

normal stream and which almost defies<br />

description. And th<strong>at</strong> dear reader defines<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>2008</strong> Orange Coast Region (OCR)<br />

<strong>White</strong> Glove <strong>Concours</strong>...way off <strong>the</strong><br />

charts and a sport if ever <strong>the</strong>re was one.<br />

Wh<strong>at</strong> Wine Goes Best with th<strong>at</strong><br />

Carnauba Wax Anyway?<br />

It all started with our Friday night soiree<br />

in a priv<strong>at</strong>e tent where we had wine,<br />

food, and music. I knew we were in for<br />

quite a weekend when we pulled up to<br />

<strong>the</strong> Huntington <strong>Beach</strong> Hilton Resort<br />

th<strong>at</strong> was <strong>the</strong> site of this year’s event.<br />

An <strong>at</strong>tendant pointed us to a reserved<br />

parking area for only <strong>the</strong> Porsche Club!<br />

Now, th<strong>at</strong>’s pretty classy. It was very<br />

nice to find out th<strong>at</strong> many couples had<br />

decided to make a weekend of it and<br />

had reserved rooms <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> Hilton; very<br />

romantic. Knowing th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> S<strong>at</strong>urday<br />

would start with an early hour, I stayed<br />

only as long as <strong>the</strong> wine lasted, only to<br />

be a good guest you must understand. In<br />

<strong>the</strong> end I decided it took a good strong<br />

Red to overcome <strong>the</strong> powerful arom<strong>at</strong>ics<br />

of car polish.<br />

Many guests tried <strong>the</strong>ir skills <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

driving simul<strong>at</strong>or Shoreline Motoring<br />

brought...<br />

getting ready for Sunday’s Zone 8<br />

Autocross <strong>at</strong> El Toro Fields. O<strong>the</strong>rs<br />

loosened up on <strong>the</strong> dance floor. Most<br />

seemed to be having a very good time.<br />

S<strong>at</strong>urday Showtime!<br />

Once again “oh dark thirty” came a<br />

little too soon for yours truly but this<br />

Shoreline brought <strong>the</strong> simul<strong>at</strong>or<br />

time it was comforting to know th<strong>at</strong><br />

Chez Cooper is only just up <strong>the</strong> beach<br />

highway from <strong>the</strong> Hilton. So with only<br />

<strong>the</strong> slightest twinge of “morning after<br />

<strong>the</strong> night before” I took off for <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Concours</strong>. <strong>The</strong> nascent hangover was<br />

quickly pushed back by a moder<strong>at</strong>ely<br />

priced Starbucks iced Frocha-Mocha-<br />

Locha and before you could say, “highly<br />

waxed 2001 996 Twin Turbo” or “Bob’s<br />

your Uncle” (you choose which one), I<br />

was <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Concours</strong> itself.<br />

Buzzy giving directions<br />

<strong>The</strong> parking volunteers got me<br />

quickly to my spot and I noticed th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

cars were being parked in <strong>the</strong> various<br />

c<strong>at</strong>egories to correspond with <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

entered classes. It came as no surprise<br />

th<strong>at</strong> Cabriolets were fe<strong>at</strong>ured. (We used<br />

to call <strong>the</strong>se “convertibles” before we<br />

learned th<strong>at</strong> you didn’t pronounce <strong>the</strong><br />

“S” in <strong>Concours</strong>.) This was because of<br />

two things: one is th<strong>at</strong> th<strong>at</strong> Cabs go gre<strong>at</strong><br />

with California sunshine and <strong>the</strong> beach.<br />

<strong>The</strong> second is th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> maestro for this<br />

years event, Buzzy Klevens owns a 911<br />

Turbo Cabriolet, go figure.<br />

As emcee I had to do a lot of important<br />

stuff like making sure <strong>the</strong> microphone<br />

was connected without electrocuting<br />

myself and ensuring th<strong>at</strong> I had enough<br />

SPF 2000 on my baby face. While my<br />

particular “punum” is important to me<br />

it pales besides <strong>the</strong> responsibility of<br />

lining up 150+ cars and setting all of<br />

<strong>the</strong> sponsor tents amongst o<strong>the</strong>r little<br />

items on Buzzy’s “to-do” list. <strong>The</strong> OCR<br />

volunteers handled all this with gre<strong>at</strong><br />

facility and it is just such a shame th<strong>at</strong><br />

we can’t name every single one of <strong>the</strong>m.<br />

But it is notable th<strong>at</strong> by sometime around<br />

8:30 am <strong>the</strong> entire show was unhitched<br />

and all of <strong>the</strong> wagons were circled for<br />

our annual <strong>White</strong> <strong>Gloves</strong> <strong>Concours</strong>.<br />

Buzzy had put toge<strong>the</strong>r quite a<br />

program and we commenced with a<br />

flag present<strong>at</strong>ion by our local Boy Scout<br />

Troop with singing background by <strong>the</strong><br />

group “Girls Night Out.” I helped with<br />

my usual malapropism by calling <strong>the</strong>m:<br />

“Ladies Night Out.” <strong>The</strong>y indignantly<br />

told me <strong>the</strong>y were no ladies wh<strong>at</strong>soever<br />

and we got <strong>the</strong> identity right in <strong>the</strong> end.<br />

Stylizing <strong>the</strong> n<strong>at</strong>ional an<strong>the</strong>m is always<br />

a risky enterprise but <strong>the</strong>se “Ladies”<br />

really got it right in my opinion and,<br />

along with <strong>the</strong> Scouts, set <strong>the</strong> stage for<br />

<strong>the</strong> activity to follow.<br />

Also a part of <strong>the</strong> day was an appearance<br />

of <strong>the</strong> USC Marching Band again as<br />

arranged by Field Marshal Buzzy, an<br />

alumnus of this institute. It really was<br />

a “bandlette” as we didn’t have <strong>the</strong> full<br />

compliment, but <strong>the</strong>y made up for it<br />

with real brio and my personal favorite<br />

“Tusk” was on <strong>the</strong>ir agenda. I even saw<br />

some UCLA Alumni smile so <strong>the</strong> show<br />

was certainly appreci<strong>at</strong>ed.<br />

Swimming with Sharks<br />

Being <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> beach, sharks in and out of<br />

<strong>the</strong> w<strong>at</strong>er are all around you. Especially<br />

<strong>at</strong> a <strong>Concours</strong>. No one should kid<br />

himself or herself about <strong>the</strong> competition<br />

in <strong>Concours</strong> and <strong>the</strong> people who know<br />

how to do it right are just as tough as<br />

you find <strong>the</strong>m in any o<strong>the</strong>r sport. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

is more to cleaning a car for competition<br />

than just a hose and a towel. My advice<br />

for anyone considering getting into this<br />

Judges <strong>at</strong> work<br />

is to find someone who has done well<br />

and get advice. For instance, expect<br />

<strong>the</strong> judges to unwind your se<strong>at</strong>belt and<br />

check <strong>the</strong> hidden portion in <strong>the</strong> reel for<br />

dirt…and th<strong>at</strong> is just <strong>the</strong> beginning.<br />

My own car was judged by a group<br />

of gimlet-eyed desperadoes who would<br />

have been right <strong>at</strong> home on any wanted<br />

poster in town., I say this because as<br />

usually happens, I went down in flames.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se folks could spot grime on a wheel<br />

cover <strong>at</strong> 30 feet, and <strong>the</strong>y were much<br />

closer than th<strong>at</strong> to my car. Next year if<br />

<strong>the</strong>re is a “30 feet” c<strong>at</strong>egory I will enter<br />

th<strong>at</strong>.<br />

OCR Sponsors Love You<br />

Buzzy had lined up 20 sponsors for<br />

this years event and many of <strong>the</strong>m had<br />

booths <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Concours</strong>. If you ever truly<br />

want to find a Porsche deal, come to<br />

one of our <strong>Concours</strong> and buy, buy, buy.<br />

I got a Polo shirt from Newport <strong>Beach</strong><br />

Porsche for a lot less than retail and<br />

<strong>the</strong>re were many o<strong>the</strong>r bargains around.<br />

Loc<strong>at</strong>ed right in front of <strong>the</strong> announcers<br />

booth was <strong>the</strong> USC booth and <strong>the</strong>y were<br />

selling everything from ties and shirts to<br />

underwear. All of course branded with<br />

<strong>the</strong> USC logo.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Orange Coast Region Goodie<br />

Store was also <strong>the</strong>re in front of us and<br />

David Miranda with his crew did a land<br />

office business throughout <strong>the</strong> day. David<br />

has done a good job of selecting things<br />

to make us look better than we normally<br />

do and <strong>the</strong>re is always something nice to<br />

get from him. I’m still waiting for him to<br />

find a fashion th<strong>at</strong> will help a receding<br />

hairline.<br />

OCR’s First “Real Live” Trophy Girl!<br />

Class Championship B<strong>at</strong>tle He<strong>at</strong>s Up<br />

June was a busy month for <strong>the</strong><br />

OCR AutoX Team. <strong>The</strong>y held <strong>the</strong><br />

Walters Porsche AutoX Series Zone<br />

8 Championship event on June 1and<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r Series Championship event on<br />

June 22. In addition, by <strong>the</strong> time you<br />

read this, we will have held ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

Series Championship event on July 13.<br />

Th<strong>at</strong> makes five events within 90 days<br />

and every event with over 100 entries.<br />

Looking back to <strong>the</strong> first half of 2006,<br />

when OCR’s Championship Series was<br />

first started, I remember having only 25<br />

to 30 Porsches entered and thinking how<br />

will we get this series off <strong>the</strong> ground? We<br />

“My Walter’s Porsche is fast!”<br />

asked <strong>the</strong> SCCA crowd to join us so we<br />

would have enough experienced people<br />

to run <strong>the</strong> events and enough entries just<br />

to pay <strong>the</strong> bills. Initially Newport Auto<br />

Center and Stuttgart Performance, as<br />

well as a couple event sponsors stepped<br />

up to help. For <strong>2008</strong> thanks to Walter<br />

Automotive Group (our Series<br />

Stuttgart Performance provided coffee and donuts.<br />

Sponsor), Stuttgart Performance, and<br />

GMG-Global Motorsport Group (our<br />

Support Sponsors) and all <strong>the</strong> individual<br />

event sponsors listed on <strong>the</strong> enclosed<br />

schedule, we have not only been able<br />

to purchase <strong>the</strong> needed equipment to<br />

run <strong>the</strong> events efficiently but have<br />

improved <strong>the</strong> quality of <strong>the</strong> events.<br />

THANK YOU ALL!<br />

Walter’s Porsche hosted breakfast to start <strong>the</strong> tour.<br />

Ever since I joined our club in 2001,<br />

I have wanted to lead a tour to Las<br />

Vegas. Well this was <strong>the</strong> year to go and<br />

<strong>the</strong> timing was perfect. We had perfect<br />

we<strong>at</strong>her, roads and friends as always.<br />

Solomon Baum, <strong>the</strong> VP of <strong>the</strong> Las<br />

Vegas Region scheduled <strong>the</strong>ir “Fire to<br />

W<strong>at</strong>er Run,” to coincide with our visit to<br />

Las Vegas. Walter’s Porsche in Riverside<br />

became one of our club’s newest dealer<br />

sponsors just in time to host a breakfast<br />

g<strong>at</strong>hering <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> start of our trip. I had<br />

never been to Walter’s Porsche before<br />

and visited <strong>the</strong>ir dealership prior to<br />

our Vegas trip. <strong>The</strong> staff was very<br />

friendly and helpful. <strong>The</strong>ir facility is<br />

getting a face lift as are most Porsche<br />

dealerships.<br />

Walter’s Porsche hosted breakfast to start <strong>the</strong> tour.<br />

Most of us departed on Friday morning<br />

and met <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> dealership. Walter’s<br />

provided us with plenty of coffee,<br />

donuts and goodies to take with us. We<br />

even sampled a Smart car from one of<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir dealerships. Talk about a ne<strong>at</strong> little<br />

automobile.<br />

As <strong>the</strong> tour director I decided to<br />

omit <strong>the</strong> scenic route to Vegas, opting<br />

for <strong>the</strong> fastest and shortest route. I know<br />

th<strong>at</strong> J’nan and I could not wait to simply<br />

get to Las Vegas and relax. We did just<br />

th<strong>at</strong>.<br />

Time for refreshments<br />

Our group met for drinks <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ventana<br />

bar <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bellagio. If you have never<br />

s<strong>at</strong> outside on <strong>the</strong> balcony while <strong>the</strong><br />

fountains dance, you have missed <strong>the</strong><br />

best part of visiting Las Vegas. After our<br />

drinks we had dinner <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bellagio’s<br />

buffet, which is a feast. Bed time was<br />

early because of <strong>the</strong> early morning<br />

drivers’ meeting on S<strong>at</strong>urday.<br />

Our group g<strong>at</strong>hered <strong>at</strong> Gaudin<br />

Las Vegas Region. Tony Zito, President<br />

of <strong>the</strong> LV Region along with Salomon<br />

Braun, <strong>the</strong>ir VP, welcomed <strong>the</strong> group.<br />

After <strong>the</strong> usual driver’s meeting we all<br />

headed out to <strong>the</strong> Valley of Fire St<strong>at</strong>e<br />

Park, loc<strong>at</strong>ed approxim<strong>at</strong>ely 40 miles<br />

north east of Las Vegas. Spectacular<br />

scenery and curvy roads were <strong>the</strong> order<br />

of <strong>the</strong> day. We stopped <strong>at</strong> several spots<br />

to take pictures and compare opinions on<br />

<strong>the</strong> different red rocks. Our drive ended<br />

<strong>at</strong> Lake Las Vegas where we had a gre<strong>at</strong><br />

lunch overlooking <strong>the</strong> w<strong>at</strong>er.<br />

Jagermeister Shot Girl<br />

S<strong>at</strong>urday afternoon was free<br />

time for everyone to recharge before<br />

meeting for dinner <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> Hofbrauhaus<br />

Restaurant. Talk about Oktoberfest<br />

every night. Wh<strong>at</strong> a place! <strong>The</strong>re was<br />

even a Jagermeister Shot Girl, dressed<br />

in le<strong>at</strong>her <strong>at</strong>tire complete with cap and<br />

wooden paddle.<br />

A stein-holding competition ensued and<br />

I was not about to miss it. I had missed<br />

Buzzy and Debbie Klevens Armand in <strong>the</strong> strong arm contest Time for refreshments<br />

my opportunity to particip<strong>at</strong>e many<br />

times during <strong>the</strong> last several Oktoberfest<br />

festivities. I knew th<strong>at</strong> I could be<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

15 or so younger competitors. It was<br />

simple enough. Hold a glass stein filled<br />

with beer with one hand extended in<br />

front of your body <strong>the</strong> longest. After<br />

five minutes I was <strong>the</strong> winner!<br />

<strong>The</strong>n S<strong>at</strong>urday night, our group<br />

enjoyed different shows <strong>at</strong> different<br />

loc<strong>at</strong>ions. Frank and Nancy Goodyear<br />

joined J’nan and I for a show <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Luxor.<br />

Sunday was a day to relax and drive<br />

home after a fun filled weekend. On my<br />

way home I received a call from Jim<br />

Spitzer who had a problem when <strong>the</strong><br />

valet parked his Boxster <strong>at</strong> Primm. As<br />

<strong>the</strong> valet parked his car, a gush of w<strong>at</strong>er<br />

flooded <strong>the</strong> lot from under his car. Wh<strong>at</strong><br />

to do on a Sunday. I told Jim to wait<br />

until Monday when he would have more<br />

options. AAA quoted him $400 for a tow<br />

back into town. I gave Jim <strong>the</strong> telephone<br />

number of Salomon who might have<br />

more ideas.<br />

Jim called me a few days l<strong>at</strong>er to<br />

say th<strong>at</strong> Salomon and Tony Zito were<br />

gre<strong>at</strong> as well as <strong>the</strong> staff <strong>at</strong> Gaudin<br />

Porsche. It appears th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong>re is some<br />

type of warranty coverage which paid<br />

for all of Jim’s expenses. Porsche paid<br />

for his lodging, food, tow and repair of<br />

<strong>the</strong> w<strong>at</strong>er pump. Jim was so excited he<br />

actually filmed a short thank you on<br />

YouTube.<br />

I’m glad th<strong>at</strong> Jim made it home<br />

safely and th<strong>at</strong> everyone had a gre<strong>at</strong><br />

time. Come out and join us on our next<br />

tour.<br />

am a 10-year-+ member of OCR who<br />

I has particip<strong>at</strong>ed in virtually all <strong>the</strong><br />

types of events and activities offered<br />

by our club. However, I have avoided<br />

serious <strong>Concours</strong> particip<strong>at</strong>ion for a<br />

series of reasons. Notwithstanding th<strong>at</strong>, I<br />

felt compelled to respond to Joe Nezda’s<br />

call for volunteers to help with judging<br />

this year. So, I drove up <strong>the</strong> coast to<br />

Circle Porsche on May 24 to <strong>at</strong>tend <strong>the</strong><br />

Zone 8 judging class led by Joe.<br />

After sitting through <strong>the</strong> well<br />

organized and stimul<strong>at</strong>ing class,<br />

w<strong>at</strong>ching <strong>the</strong> seasoned judges conduct<br />

a simul<strong>at</strong>ed judging session of Joe’s<br />

immacul<strong>at</strong>e 356 Coupe, asking some<br />

questions, and reading through <strong>the</strong><br />

newly revised Zone 8 <strong>Concours</strong> judging<br />

manual, I was declared ready to act as<br />

a judge <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>2008</strong> OCR <strong>White</strong> Glove<br />

<strong>Concours</strong>.<br />

Judge Larry and Judge Grace<br />

A couple evenings before <strong>the</strong> June<br />

31 event, I re-read <strong>the</strong> judging manual<br />

and <strong>the</strong>n went out into <strong>the</strong> garage and laid<br />

down, with a flashlight, and peered under<br />

<strong>the</strong> front of my 993 and “felt around”<br />

to see where my hand could reach and<br />

fit. [My hands came out covered with<br />

dirt and grease. [Clearly my 993 is not<br />

a full <strong>Concours</strong> candid<strong>at</strong>e!] My guess,<br />

th<strong>at</strong> proved correct, was th<strong>at</strong> Joe would<br />

assign a long-armed rookie to <strong>the</strong> Full<br />

<strong>Concours</strong> team as <strong>the</strong> non-engineunderside<br />

judge because it is arguably<br />

<strong>the</strong> least complic<strong>at</strong>ed area, and besides,<br />

rookies should start <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> bottom and<br />

work <strong>the</strong>ir way up (My thought, not<br />

his).<br />

I was surprised and am delighted to<br />

say, I really had fun during my judging<br />

experience. <strong>The</strong>re was a very nice feeling<br />

of a team effort and <strong>the</strong> camaraderie<br />

th<strong>at</strong> goes with th<strong>at</strong>. Also, it was a gre<strong>at</strong><br />

chance to get up close and personal with<br />

some really wonderful cars and to meet<br />

some folks I probably would not have<br />

met o<strong>the</strong>rwise.<br />

Thinking back on this experience,<br />

I wish I had volunteered to become a<br />

judge years ago because I have missed<br />

numerous opportunities to particip<strong>at</strong>e<br />

and have even more fun than I have had.<br />

I still don’t think I will become a serious<br />

<strong>Concours</strong> contestant, but I hope to be<br />

asked to judge in <strong>the</strong> future because it is<br />

fun and very interesting.<br />

It is amazing to me th<strong>at</strong> after more<br />

than 10 years of particip<strong>at</strong>ion in OCR,<br />

I just found a new and different way to<br />

be involved, learn additional skills, and<br />

have even more fun.<br />

After a full day of wax and polish we had<br />

our awards ceremony in our priv<strong>at</strong>e tent<br />

once again on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Concours</strong> grounds.<br />

Wine was available and I noticed th<strong>at</strong> it<br />

was enjoyed by everyone and, in most<br />

cases helped to improve <strong>the</strong>ir dancing<br />

skills. It always does wonders for mine.<br />

Mrs. Cooper appreci<strong>at</strong>es <strong>the</strong> smooth<br />

moves after a couple of Chablis as long<br />

as I avoid her toes. <strong>The</strong> food was gre<strong>at</strong><br />

and dinner was with table cloths, pretty<br />

unusual for car type g<strong>at</strong>herings but most<br />

people behaved. I noticed th<strong>at</strong> “Fast<br />

Freddy” and Grace Fredrickson had <strong>the</strong><br />

best dance moves of all, with or without<br />

wine. It seems even <strong>the</strong> judges and<br />

contestants got along toge<strong>the</strong>r however<br />

th<strong>at</strong>’s not to say I saw any hugging going<br />

on between <strong>the</strong> two groups. At least no<br />

one intentionally tripped anyone I saw.<br />

<strong>The</strong> division winners of our<br />

<strong>Concours</strong> were Bob and Cindy Chamblin<br />

in Full <strong>Concours</strong>, Chuck Rooks in Wash<br />

AutoCross Corner (continued from page 11)<br />

ran very smooth. <strong>The</strong> morning practice<br />

sessions saw some quick times in <strong>the</strong><br />

low 70-second range. <strong>The</strong> course was<br />

designed by Atilla Szilagyi. It was<br />

long, fast and fairly technical. Atilla<br />

studied <strong>the</strong> “art of course design” under<br />

<strong>the</strong> direction of th<strong>at</strong> infamous course<br />

designer David Palmquist. While <strong>the</strong><br />

course was technical, those who “got<br />

it right” by looking ahead and setting<br />

up for <strong>the</strong> more difficult parts were<br />

rewarded with some nice times.<br />

Our Event Sponsors were Cape<br />

Auto Repair and Chips Away. James<br />

Buck, <strong>the</strong> owner of Cape Auto Repair<br />

loc<strong>at</strong>ed in Laguna Niguel, not only won<br />

his class driving his 1988 Carrera but<br />

provided lunch for everyone <strong>at</strong> event.<br />

Oh, did I mention James is also our<br />

Equipment Manager. T J is <strong>the</strong> Owner<br />

of Chips Away and has been an OCR<br />

advertiser and sponsor for many years.<br />

I have had chips in my paint repaired to<br />

look like new and <strong>the</strong> “clear bra” Chips<br />

Away installed has been on <strong>the</strong> car for<br />

three years and still looks gre<strong>at</strong>! Thank<br />

you both for your support.<br />

With everyone fed and w<strong>at</strong>ered<br />

and eight practice runs complete, we<br />

were ready for <strong>the</strong> competition to begin.<br />

Drivers get one warm-up run and <strong>the</strong>n<br />

three timed runs. <strong>The</strong> best time of <strong>the</strong><br />

three runs is wh<strong>at</strong> goes “in <strong>the</strong> book”<br />

and counts toward year-end series<br />

championship points. If you hit a cone,<br />

2 seconds are added to th<strong>at</strong> run. LET<br />

THE FUN BEGIN!.. Oh wait my phone<br />

is ringing. “Yes Mr. Harris, <strong>the</strong> event is<br />

running fine.” Wh<strong>at</strong> dedic<strong>at</strong>ion! Jim<br />

Harris, OCR’s AutoX Chairman took<br />

time out of his busy day driving Porsches<br />

on <strong>the</strong> Nuremburgring to check on our<br />

event. WOW, I’m <strong>at</strong> a loss for words.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> help of our timing team,<br />

Lori and Kris Scheussler, over 1,000<br />

runs were timed throughout <strong>the</strong> day.<br />

As I mentioned earlier, <strong>the</strong> course was<br />

very challenging. Upon reviewing <strong>the</strong><br />

results (Complete results are available<br />

on <strong>the</strong> OCR web site) I noticed <strong>the</strong><br />

top drivers in each class seemed to<br />

domin<strong>at</strong>e <strong>the</strong>ir respective classes by<br />

about 1 to 3 seconds. This is VERY<br />

unusual, as times are usually tenths of<br />

a second apart. I can only <strong>at</strong>tribute this<br />

to how technical <strong>the</strong> course was. Not<br />

hard to drive. You just needed to look<br />

ahead and anticip<strong>at</strong>e <strong>the</strong> quickest way<br />

through <strong>the</strong> cones. Those with a few<br />

years experience seemed to have gotten<br />

it right by a pretty significant margin. At<br />

<strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> day everyone helped pack<br />

<strong>the</strong> truck and trophies were awarded to<br />

<strong>the</strong> winners and almost winner.<br />

June 22 – Championship AutoX<br />

I once said, “To bad we don’t have a<br />

trophy girl!” <strong>The</strong>n on Sept. 21, 2007, <strong>at</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> Streets Event, on my birthday I was<br />

presented with Lei...OCR’s “official”<br />

trophy girl. She comes to all our events<br />

but usually stays in <strong>the</strong> trailer so her<br />

petit cardboard figure does not get wet<br />

or faded. Now fast forward to June<br />

22, <strong>2008</strong>. Autowerks is sponsoring <strong>the</strong><br />

OCR event…and it happens to be Bruce<br />

Powers’ (<strong>the</strong> owner of Autowerks)<br />

birthday…and it seems <strong>the</strong> Autowerks<br />

Team had a little surprise for us. YES!<br />

We had a real live trophy girl! Angela<br />

is a model and is Miss June in <strong>the</strong><br />

UmbrellaGirlsUSA.com calendar. In<br />

addition to Angela, Autowerks displayed<br />

some o<strong>the</strong>r pretty ne<strong>at</strong> Porsche aftermarket<br />

accessories, a very trick Porsche,<br />

and a very cool Noble sports car.<br />

It was good to have OCR’s AutoX<br />

Co-Chairman Jim Harris and his son<br />

back from Europe. <strong>The</strong>y had a gre<strong>at</strong><br />

time as <strong>the</strong> trip included several f<strong>at</strong>her<br />

and sons who spent about a week of<br />

bonding and driving throughout Europe<br />

in Porsches. Jim’s son, James, is <strong>at</strong> th<strong>at</strong><br />

age of trying to figure out wh<strong>at</strong> to do<br />

next with his life. Well, Mr. Harris is no<br />

dummy. As soon as <strong>the</strong>y returned from<br />

Europe, his son enrolled in college! It<br />

seems a taste of <strong>the</strong> “good life” gave<br />

James some direction.<br />

<strong>The</strong> AutoX Team had Registr<strong>at</strong>ion,<br />

Tech, etc. handled and so <strong>at</strong> 9:00 sharp<br />

after Jerry Griffin, OCR’s Chief Driving<br />

Instructor, assigned instructors, <strong>the</strong> first<br />

car was on course. If you’re new to<br />

AutoX or even if you have several years<br />

of AutoX competition, it is always nice<br />

to have an instructor give you some<br />

pointers on wh<strong>at</strong> you’re doing right<br />

and areas where you might improve.<br />

Instructors are available <strong>at</strong> OCR events<br />

<strong>at</strong> no additional charge and I would<br />

recommend you take advantage of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

experience. Just check <strong>the</strong> “instructor<br />

wanted” box when you register or ask<br />

for an instructor <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> drivers meeting.<br />

Driving an AutoX course is a combin<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

of experience and learned skills. It takes<br />

time to get your car to “dance” through<br />

<strong>the</strong> course. A little instruction as in golf,<br />

tennis or any o<strong>the</strong>r sport goes a long way<br />

to making your day more enjoyable.<br />

Everyone had a good time. Our<br />

914 friends <strong>at</strong> club NARP (Not A Real<br />

Porsche) provided gre<strong>at</strong> dogs, links and<br />

chili. By l<strong>at</strong>e afternoon <strong>the</strong> temper<strong>at</strong>ure<br />

finally dropped below 85 degrees. After<br />

<strong>the</strong> timed runs, Angela was kind enough<br />

to present <strong>the</strong> awards and pose for<br />

pictures. <strong>The</strong> ladies receiving awards<br />

wanted <strong>the</strong>ir pictures taken with <strong>the</strong><br />

birthday boy, Bruce Powers.<br />

Who is in <strong>the</strong> Hunt for a <strong>2008</strong> Class<br />

Championship and Top Gun Award?<br />

This was <strong>the</strong> 5th Walter’s Porsche<br />

Championship AutoX Series event.<br />

With 12 events scheduled for <strong>2008</strong>,<br />

<strong>the</strong> competition is still wide open for<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>2008</strong> championship awards and <strong>the</strong><br />

coveted OCR Region Class Champion<br />

jackets. A driver’s best 8 events will<br />

be counted toward <strong>the</strong> championship<br />

awards. A driver must compete in a<br />

minimum of 6 events to be eligible for<br />

year-end awards. In several of <strong>the</strong> larger<br />

classes, <strong>the</strong> points are very close. Below<br />

are a few examples. A driver receives<br />

20 points for 1st place, 15 point for 2nd,<br />

12 points for 3rd, 10 points for 4th down<br />

Rallye time: approx. 1hr. 45 min.<br />

This will be <strong>the</strong> 2nd in <strong>the</strong> series of PCA/OCR <strong>2008</strong> fun rallyes.<br />

As a participant, you will follow <strong>the</strong> provided route instructions, find <strong>the</strong> specified objects,<br />

and drive through <strong>the</strong> hidden check points in <strong>the</strong> right direction. <strong>The</strong>re may be a brief timed element.<br />

And enjoy a drive-about in Central Orange County.<br />

Because <strong>the</strong>re are two routes, cleverly interwoven, you will see a lot (probably most)<br />

of your fellow participants coming and going.<br />

<strong>the</strong> registr<strong>at</strong>ion cost is $5.00 per car,<br />

and <strong>the</strong> number of passengers per car is unlimited.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Start/Finish will be <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> Steelhead Brewery (adjacent to UCI) in Irvine. At <strong>the</strong> Finish <strong>the</strong>re will be<br />

some silly awards and probably some legitim<strong>at</strong>e criticism of <strong>the</strong> rallye meister’s ineptness.<br />

Corners of <strong>the</strong> Mind<br />

Chapter 1 - Background<br />

This is <strong>the</strong> first in a series of<br />

installments on performance driving,<br />

and performance driving means, of<br />

course, Porsche driving. <strong>The</strong>se articles<br />

focus on <strong>the</strong> mental aspects of driving,<br />

r<strong>at</strong>her than on driving technique itself,<br />

although <strong>the</strong>re will be inform<strong>at</strong>ion,<br />

techniques, and references to good<br />

performance driving practices. <strong>The</strong><br />

m<strong>at</strong>erial will be useful whe<strong>the</strong>r or not<br />

you drive <strong>at</strong> track events and no m<strong>at</strong>ter<br />

wh<strong>at</strong> kind of car you are driving. You<br />

will find many easy-to-use hints and tips<br />

here, and, most importantly, you will<br />

gain <strong>the</strong> means to improve your driving<br />

<strong>at</strong> any level and for <strong>the</strong> rest of your life!<br />

This chapter introduces <strong>the</strong> concepts<br />

of <strong>the</strong> driver’s mind as part of <strong>the</strong> car,<br />

and how it performs. L<strong>at</strong>er, we will deal<br />

with specific topics as <strong>the</strong>y rel<strong>at</strong>e to<br />

improving this part of <strong>the</strong> performance<br />

equ<strong>at</strong>ion. Subjects will include<br />

prepar<strong>at</strong>ion, <strong>at</strong>titude, practicing, seeing,<br />

and learning, among o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are a number of good books<br />

on <strong>the</strong> basics of performance driving,<br />

and some of <strong>the</strong>se do go into <strong>the</strong> realm of<br />

<strong>the</strong> brain as part of <strong>the</strong> driving equ<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are also many excellent driving<br />

schools you can <strong>at</strong>tend around <strong>the</strong> n<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

th<strong>at</strong> will help you with your driving on<br />

or off <strong>the</strong> track. <strong>The</strong> Porsche Club of<br />

America San Diego Region (PCASDR)<br />

Driving School is an excellent value,<br />

plus it is close, convenient, and lets you<br />

drive your own Porsche. Each autocross,<br />

Drivers’ Educ<strong>at</strong>ion event, or time trial<br />

our club offers has <strong>the</strong> emphasis on<br />

educ<strong>at</strong>ion with experienced instructors<br />

to help you learn. In <strong>the</strong>se articles we<br />

will discuss driving technique from<br />

time to time, and will probably cover<br />

most of everything you need to review.<br />

However, <strong>the</strong> emphasis is on developing<br />

<strong>the</strong> cognitive skills th<strong>at</strong> support and<br />

enhance <strong>the</strong> technique and give you a<br />

definite competitive edge and safety<br />

margin.<br />

By Paul D. Young<br />

© Copyright 1995-<strong>2008</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> first PCA event I particip<strong>at</strong>ed in<br />

was a navig<strong>at</strong>ional rally. <strong>The</strong> challenge<br />

was to interpret <strong>the</strong> instructions correctly<br />

and stay on course -- It was like solving<br />

a puzzle or riddle. I definitely took a<br />

liking to <strong>the</strong> cerebral aspects of this<br />

competition. Soon <strong>the</strong>reafter, <strong>the</strong><br />

autocross and time-trial bug hit, and<br />

I took my 928 out regularly to <strong>the</strong>se<br />

performance driving events. I found<br />

th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> track events were physical<br />

as opposed to <strong>the</strong> mental exercise of<br />

rallying. Or so I thought. More and more<br />

I am learning how important <strong>the</strong> mind is<br />

in performance driving, and th<strong>at</strong> it is <strong>the</strong><br />

key element to improvement of driving<br />

skills.<br />

Before we get much far<strong>the</strong>r, we need<br />

to agree th<strong>at</strong> it is worthwhile to work on<br />

improving <strong>the</strong> driver’s mind. First, <strong>the</strong>re<br />

should be no question th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> driver<br />

is <strong>the</strong> most significant variable in <strong>the</strong><br />

driving equ<strong>at</strong>ion. Yes, I know, <strong>the</strong>re are<br />

many things you can do to your Porsche<br />

to make it faster. Yes, I know th<strong>at</strong> soft<br />

compound tires, for example, make<br />

a big difference. But I have also seen<br />

many instances of notably good drivers<br />

being upstaged by even better drivers in<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir own car. Very conclusive proof of<br />

<strong>the</strong> difference drivers make can be found<br />

in <strong>the</strong> results of <strong>the</strong> Michelin Challenge<br />

<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> 1992 Porsche Parade here in San<br />

Diego. At this event, a box-stock 968<br />

was equipped with Michelin XGTs and<br />

Parade entrants were allowed to drive<br />

it around <strong>the</strong> ‘Grand-Prix’ course; a<br />

sort of mini-autocross in <strong>the</strong> Stadium’s<br />

Sou<strong>the</strong>ast lot. If I recall, I was in <strong>the</strong> top<br />

ten, with a group of us clustered within<br />

a few tenths of a second. Margie Smith-<br />

Haas was way out in front, with a lap<br />

time of over a second faster than <strong>the</strong><br />

next best competitor. Now, you might<br />

argue th<strong>at</strong> some drivers may have had an<br />

advantage over o<strong>the</strong>rs if <strong>the</strong>y were more<br />

familiar with <strong>the</strong> 968. It doesn’t m<strong>at</strong>ter<br />

-- ei<strong>the</strong>r way, <strong>the</strong> driver is still <strong>the</strong> most<br />

important factor and can obviously make<br />

a significant difference in lap times.<br />

Secondly, do we really need to go<br />

through all this ‘mind game’ crap to<br />

turn fast laps? Well, if you accept th<strong>at</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> driver is <strong>the</strong> most important part of<br />

<strong>the</strong> car, wh<strong>at</strong>’s <strong>the</strong> most important part<br />

of <strong>the</strong> driver? No, not <strong>the</strong> stomach... No,<br />

not th<strong>at</strong> ei<strong>the</strong>r – shame on you! It’s <strong>the</strong><br />

mind, of course. I have not performed<br />

experiments to remove a driver’s brain<br />

and see if lap times get worse (although<br />

<strong>at</strong> times I have driven so poorly th<strong>at</strong> I felt<br />

like I forgot mine). But no m<strong>at</strong>ter how<br />

physical driving events may seem, <strong>the</strong>re<br />

is a lot of thought th<strong>at</strong> goes into oper<strong>at</strong>ing<br />

a car <strong>at</strong> speed. Granted, one needs to be<br />

physically fit to compete in a time trial<br />

where <strong>the</strong> effort of 30 minute long run<br />

groups and he<strong>at</strong> can be exhausting. And<br />

I will be <strong>the</strong> first to say th<strong>at</strong> professional<br />

racecar drivers are indeed <strong>at</strong>hletes,<br />

with pulse r<strong>at</strong>es of 150 plus for hours<br />

<strong>at</strong> a time. It’s just difficult to imagine<br />

being fast without concentr<strong>at</strong>ing and<br />

focusing on wh<strong>at</strong> you’re doing. Even<br />

hand-eye coordin<strong>at</strong>ion requires a good<br />

deal of gray m<strong>at</strong>ter processing, if only<br />

<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> subconscious level. When you are<br />

improving your driving skills <strong>at</strong> an event<br />

or during a season are you increasing<br />

your physical strength, or getting better<br />

<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> mental aspects? Think about it…<br />

Three seconds per lap. Would you<br />

like to cut your autocross lap time by<br />

three seconds? I thought so! I cannot<br />

guarantee everyone will drop lap times<br />

by this much immedi<strong>at</strong>ely, but I have<br />

proof th<strong>at</strong> this much improvement can<br />

be made purely with <strong>the</strong> mind! Sorry,<br />

you’ll have to wait for a l<strong>at</strong>er article for<br />

<strong>the</strong> details of this secret.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are many avenues of<br />

improving <strong>the</strong> driver’s performance;<br />

getting more track time is one big<br />

contributor. But <strong>the</strong>re is much to work<br />

on while driving o<strong>the</strong>r than just getting<br />

around <strong>the</strong> course and trying to learn<br />

it. Some of this learning happens <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

subconscious level - by driving a course<br />

this should be an interesting b<strong>at</strong>tle. To<br />

d<strong>at</strong>e <strong>the</strong>y each have 2 first place finishes.<br />

In class MS, modified Boxster S pilot<br />

Akira Kogawa leads <strong>the</strong> class with 4 first<br />

place finishes as does Hideki Okano in<br />

<strong>the</strong> stock Boxster S class of MS/S.<br />

Carolyn Shusterman is currently 1st in<br />

<strong>the</strong> ladies MS/S class with 28 points.<br />

However, C<strong>at</strong>hy<br />

O’Brien has 22 points and K<strong>at</strong>ina<br />

Gonzales has 20. Thus, with seven more<br />

events remaining, any one of <strong>the</strong> girls<br />

could win this class.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Cayman S and <strong>the</strong> 993s<br />

compete in two of <strong>the</strong> largest classes this<br />

year. NS/S is where <strong>the</strong> “Street Stock”<br />

cars play and class N/S is for <strong>the</strong> slightly<br />

modified “Stock” Porsches. <strong>The</strong>se two<br />

classes have 15 to 20 competitors in<br />

each class. Currently Chris Grivas leads<br />

Jeff Edwards, Tim Cox, Jim Seastom<br />

and Annie Bauer in <strong>the</strong> N/SS class and<br />

Duane Selby, Chief of Rules, has an 8<br />

point lead over Lou Hudyman in N/S.<br />

Kelly Hudyman, Radomin Delgado and<br />

Richard Stonehouse hold <strong>the</strong> 3rd through<br />

5th spots. Ano<strong>the</strong>r popular class is PS/S<br />

made up of 997 and 996 Carreras. With<br />

more than 10 competitors, Jon<strong>at</strong>han<br />

Gerber leads Greg Lush by 5 points.<br />

Jason Gerber, Bobby Ahn and Adam<br />

Nguyen are close behind. No driver in<br />

this class has more than one 1st place<br />

finish.<br />

This year <strong>the</strong> AutoX Team will<br />

present <strong>the</strong> Top Gun award to <strong>the</strong> driver<br />

who finishes with <strong>the</strong> most points using<br />

<strong>the</strong> BRI (Bragging Rights Index). <strong>The</strong><br />

above mentioned best eight events will<br />

be considered. Until next month. Have<br />

Fun!<br />

May 17th was a nice warm day.<br />

Members of <strong>the</strong> Orange Coast<br />

Region (OCR) g<strong>at</strong>hered <strong>at</strong> our usual<br />

stop, Krispy Kremes, where sugar from<br />

<strong>the</strong> donuts fueled our adrenaline. After<br />

we had cleaned <strong>the</strong> sticky residue off our<br />

fingers, we fired up <strong>the</strong> engines in our<br />

Porsches and caravanned to Dynamic<br />

Air on Dyer Road in Santa Ana. This was<br />

<strong>the</strong> loc<strong>at</strong>ion th<strong>at</strong> was selected by our tech<br />

session host: Moe Mistry of Glistening<br />

Perfection for his present<strong>at</strong>ion; and it<br />

was perfect. We had ample parking for<br />

our cars and welcome shade over our<br />

heads, provided by a wonderful large<br />

rubber tree. <strong>The</strong> loc<strong>at</strong>ion couldn’t have<br />

been better for <strong>the</strong> 48 people and 31 cars<br />

th<strong>at</strong> made it to <strong>the</strong> session.<br />

<strong>The</strong> session started off with a<br />

Continental-style (with a few additions)<br />

breakfast. <strong>The</strong> bagels, lox, bacon,<br />

sausage, coffee and o<strong>the</strong>r drinks were<br />

consumed on top of <strong>the</strong> sugar filled<br />

donuts th<strong>at</strong> some had e<strong>at</strong>en <strong>at</strong> KK. After<br />

our second breakfast, we all returned<br />

to <strong>the</strong> shade of <strong>the</strong> tree and were well<br />

schooled by Moe. This gentleman<br />

knows wh<strong>at</strong> he is doing. Moe was <strong>the</strong><br />

detailer on <strong>the</strong> Best of Show winner <strong>at</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Pebble <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Concours</strong> in 2005,<br />

which is a pretty good pedigree.<br />

Moe pointed out th<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong>re is no<br />

standard for detailers and th<strong>at</strong> some have<br />

been known to destroy <strong>the</strong> paint on your<br />

car by “burning” <strong>the</strong> paint using improper<br />

methods or tools. Moe even st<strong>at</strong>ed th<strong>at</strong><br />

in <strong>the</strong> past even he has “burned” <strong>the</strong> paint<br />

twice, but he is bonded for a sufficient<br />

amount to completely cover <strong>the</strong> repairs/<br />

repaint. How many detailers are actually<br />

bonded? I don’t think most detailers of<br />

our vehicles can say th<strong>at</strong>. <strong>The</strong>y may be<br />

okay for <strong>the</strong> grocery-getting car, but we<br />

have investments in our Porsches.<br />

Moe st<strong>at</strong>ed th<strong>at</strong> he uses a technique<br />

th<strong>at</strong> he calls “Trinity” which he uses for<br />

(a) Clay tre<strong>at</strong>ment (b) Polish and (c) Wax.<br />

<strong>The</strong> clay tre<strong>at</strong>ment is used to prepare <strong>the</strong><br />

surface, <strong>the</strong> polish to smooth out, and <strong>the</strong><br />

wax to protect <strong>the</strong> surface. <strong>The</strong> clay is<br />

always applied by hand and he uses two<br />

of his senses to make sure <strong>the</strong> tre<strong>at</strong>ment<br />

is performed correctly. Those senses<br />

are feel and sound. Yes, he can actually<br />

hear <strong>the</strong> clay going to work! <strong>The</strong> polish<br />

is <strong>the</strong>n applied with a powered polish<br />

machine th<strong>at</strong> must be selected and used<br />

with care to avoid <strong>the</strong> “burning” of <strong>the</strong><br />

paint mentioned previously. He uses <strong>the</strong><br />

Flex XC3401 VRG r<strong>at</strong>her than <strong>the</strong> Porter<br />

Cable polisher some of you might own.<br />

This is a new technology and provides<br />

<strong>the</strong> best option between <strong>the</strong> Porter Cable<br />

and a rotary polisher.<br />

<strong>The</strong> final step of <strong>the</strong> process is <strong>the</strong><br />

applic<strong>at</strong>ion of <strong>the</strong> wax, which is done<br />

by hand. <strong>The</strong> available waxes are each<br />

unique in qualities, composition, and<br />

also price; <strong>the</strong>re is even a wax available<br />

for $30,000! <strong>The</strong> wax should bring out<br />

<strong>the</strong> color and reflect <strong>the</strong> smoothness<br />

achieved in <strong>the</strong> previous two steps, and it<br />

also protects <strong>the</strong> finish. <strong>The</strong> end product<br />

of this type of detailing is a car th<strong>at</strong> you<br />

beauty.<br />

Moe is an excellent speaker. He<br />

answered all of <strong>the</strong> questions from <strong>the</strong><br />

audience readily, giving us very useful<br />

inform<strong>at</strong>ion. He is also a supporter of<br />

our club and he is an advertiser in <strong>the</strong><br />

Pandemonium. He sells <strong>the</strong> items he<br />

uses professionally so you may use <strong>the</strong>m<br />

in detailing <strong>the</strong> car yourself, or he can<br />

do <strong>the</strong> detailing to a very high standard<br />

for you. <strong>The</strong> kits and individual items<br />

th<strong>at</strong> he sells are all available from Moe.<br />

<strong>the</strong> Pando for details, or go to his web<br />

Al and Diane Reed<br />

On June 7 after <strong>the</strong> monthly breakfast<br />

club meeting <strong>at</strong> Original Mikes,<br />

approxim<strong>at</strong>ely 35 Porsches caravanned<br />

up <strong>the</strong> freeways (5 to <strong>the</strong> 57 to <strong>the</strong> 91)<br />

to 3010 E. Coronado Ave. in Anaheim<br />

for an open house by Al and Diane<br />

Reed. “We were quite surprised to see<br />

so many Porsches in our parking lot,”<br />

commented Al Reed. <strong>The</strong>re were close<br />

to 75 OCR members all g<strong>at</strong>hered in his<br />

shop for a present<strong>at</strong>ion by Al, Diane,<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir son Chad and his wife, Jina. Also<br />

in <strong>at</strong>tendance was one of <strong>the</strong>ir long time<br />

employees, Lei Lani.<br />

Al explaining oper<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

<strong>The</strong> interview with Al & Diane went<br />

something like this:<br />

Question: Al, how long have you been<br />

doing wheel polishing?<br />

Al’s Answer: About 30 years.<br />

Question: Diane, when you and Al<br />

started this business, did you ever think<br />

it would grow like it has?<br />

Diane’s Answer: No, I thought Al was<br />

crazy. “You’re going to make a living<br />

doing wh<strong>at</strong>?”<br />

Question: Al, do you polish wheels for<br />

all makes of cars?<br />

Al’s Answer: Yes, but we specialize<br />

with Porsches.<br />

Question: How many wheels have you<br />

done?<br />

Answer: Thousands.<br />

Question: Diane, I understand you hand<br />

paint <strong>the</strong> centers, is th<strong>at</strong> correct?<br />

Diane’s Answer: Yes, I used to do <strong>the</strong>m<br />

<strong>at</strong> home while Al was w<strong>at</strong>ching TV, but<br />

now I’m trying to quit. I’m ready for<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r hobby.<br />

Question: Al, have you done wheels<br />

for any celebrity?<br />

Al’s Answer: Yes, several including<br />

Anaheim Angels players Rod Carew,<br />

Jessie Jackson, and Brian Downing. We<br />

also have polished wheels for L.A. Rams<br />

players Nolan Cromwell, Merlin & his<br />

bro<strong>the</strong>r Phil Olsen. In 1993 we did over<br />

100 wheels for <strong>the</strong> Indy Racing team of<br />

Roger Penske.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Reeds’ shop was very well prepared<br />

to show us <strong>the</strong> wheels as <strong>the</strong>y come in,<br />

<strong>the</strong> polishing process, <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> finished<br />

product. <strong>The</strong> day ended all too soon.<br />

As we all headed out of <strong>the</strong>ir driveway<br />

Al and Diane waved and thanked us<br />

for coming. We thank you, Al, Diane,<br />

Chad, Jina and Lei Lani for allowing us<br />

“Amazing! I didn’t think it was possible to make <strong>the</strong> se<strong>at</strong>s<br />

look like new!” (Barry, Fullerton)<br />

Barry was just like many of you; he loved his car and wanted it to look its’ best and was<br />

disappointed with <strong>the</strong> way his le<strong>at</strong>her se<strong>at</strong>s looked. <strong>The</strong>y weren’t in bad condition but <strong>the</strong>y<br />

were showing <strong>the</strong> signs of wear. He didn’t want to spend <strong>the</strong> $1500.00 + labor* or more th<strong>at</strong><br />

it would take to replace <strong>the</strong> le<strong>at</strong>her and so he thought he would just have to live with it. He<br />

didn’t and nei<strong>the</strong>r do you! He called Pioneer Le<strong>at</strong>her Restor<strong>at</strong>ion, Inc. Since his le<strong>at</strong>her<br />

was in good condition except for <strong>the</strong> appearance, we came to his home and re-applied <strong>the</strong><br />

finish co<strong>at</strong>ing th<strong>at</strong> is found on all upholstery le<strong>at</strong>her. Three hours and $295.00** l<strong>at</strong>er you see<br />

wh<strong>at</strong> his reaction was.<br />

<strong>August</strong> here in <strong>the</strong> OCR tower high<br />

above <strong>the</strong> fruited plain th<strong>at</strong> is<br />

<strong>the</strong> 405 Freeway and ano<strong>the</strong>r issue to<br />

put into <strong>the</strong> hands of <strong>the</strong> scampering<br />

printers devils down in <strong>the</strong> bowels of<br />

<strong>the</strong> press machines. Wh<strong>at</strong> a bunch of<br />

stuff we have to write about this time.<br />

In case you haven’t noticed, we are<br />

having a vintage Orange Coast Region<br />

year. Starting with <strong>the</strong> fantastic <strong>White</strong><br />

Glove <strong>Concours</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> Huntington<br />

<strong>Beach</strong> Hilton. I don’t recall ever e<strong>at</strong>ing<br />

so well <strong>at</strong> ano<strong>the</strong>r automobile event.<br />

Usually anything you get <strong>at</strong> something<br />

to do with cars goes better with mustard<br />

or c<strong>at</strong>sup. Emph<strong>at</strong>ically not so this time<br />

around folks! We dined and drank and<br />

danced in a covered tent steps from <strong>the</strong><br />

blue (mostly) Pacific in our own priv<strong>at</strong>e<br />

space. <strong>Concours</strong> Meister for <strong>2008</strong>, Buzzy<br />

Klevens, put toge<strong>the</strong>r a very memorable<br />

event for wh<strong>at</strong> is one of our sign<strong>at</strong>ure<br />

weekends.<br />

I must admit right away th<strong>at</strong> I didn’t<br />

win any awards for my unn<strong>at</strong>urally clean<br />

car, but I’m not carrying a grudge....not<br />

much anyway. By <strong>the</strong> way when I say<br />

unn<strong>at</strong>urally, I don’t mean th<strong>at</strong> it was<br />

cleaned with anything o<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong><br />

usual substances and elbow grease. I say<br />

unn<strong>at</strong>urally, because my car normally has<br />

<strong>at</strong> least a bit of road grime somewhere or<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r. Who ever said or called this p<strong>at</strong>ina<br />

has my vote for automotive genius<br />

because I think p<strong>at</strong>ina sounds so much<br />

more sophistic<strong>at</strong>ed than “dirt.” I have<br />

p<strong>at</strong>ina to spare.<br />

I am always proud when our OCR<br />

Editor’s Notes<br />

by Garey Cooper<br />

folks do well and <strong>the</strong>y did well, really<br />

well, splendidly well on this event. You<br />

will read about it in this issue because it is<br />

traditionally our <strong>White</strong> Glove <strong>Concours</strong><br />

issue (remember don’t pronounce <strong>the</strong><br />

“S”).<br />

Now let’s not forget about <strong>the</strong> driver<br />

types we’ve got in our club. I have just<br />

been adding captions to some gre<strong>at</strong><br />

photographs taken <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> June Autocross<br />

by our very own “Scoop” Barnhill and<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are just crackerjack! I’m using th<strong>at</strong><br />

19th century colloquialism intentionally<br />

because <strong>the</strong>y are just th<strong>at</strong> good. And we<br />

still have <strong>the</strong> opportunity of using El<br />

Toro which gives us some long track<br />

times, and gre<strong>at</strong> run-off areas to let<br />

<strong>the</strong> Carerras roam. Th<strong>at</strong> is Carerras,<br />

Caymans, etc. You can see <strong>the</strong>se photos<br />

in <strong>the</strong>ir entirety on <strong>the</strong> Web site Scoop has<br />

set up <strong>at</strong> http://gallery.mac.com/thud4.<br />

Okay now comes <strong>the</strong> question, “Have<br />

you particip<strong>at</strong>ed in any OCR event yet?”<br />

Dude or dudette... why in <strong>the</strong> world<br />

haven’t you been out <strong>the</strong>re? Are you<br />

afraid th<strong>at</strong> you won’t be accepted or will<br />

feel inadequ<strong>at</strong>e because you don’t have<br />

<strong>the</strong> l<strong>at</strong>est and ne<strong>at</strong>est from Stuttgart?<br />

Don’t worry, I know lots of our club<br />

members and <strong>the</strong>y have a huge variety<br />

of Porsches. Come on out and join in...<br />

why did you buy th<strong>at</strong> car if not to use<br />

it?<br />

Oh boy, I went to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Concours</strong> and<br />

won something! An alignment <strong>at</strong> Shore<br />

Line Motors on <strong>Beach</strong> Boulevard,<br />

right around <strong>the</strong> corner from my est<strong>at</strong>e,<br />

Wistful Vista, so <strong>the</strong> drive was no big<br />

deal ei<strong>the</strong>r way. I want you to know th<strong>at</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>se nice folks fixed me up really well.<br />

I was relieved to find out th<strong>at</strong> certainly<br />

<strong>the</strong> alignment was for <strong>the</strong> Porsche and<br />

not for me; although I personally could<br />

use one if you ask Mrs. Cooper. Anyway<br />

<strong>the</strong> show room is a really cool place to<br />

hang out with a beautiful Ferrari parked<br />

<strong>the</strong>re. Every time someone walked in<br />

I’d jump up and stand with one arm on<br />

<strong>the</strong> car so <strong>the</strong>se people would think it<br />

was really my car. I don’t think I fooled<br />

many of <strong>the</strong>m but, hey, <strong>at</strong> least I had <strong>the</strong><br />

minute or two to make <strong>the</strong>m think.<br />

I would like to teach all of our readers<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r sophistic<strong>at</strong>ed car term: Rallye.<br />

Now this is <strong>the</strong> European spelling, you<br />

don’t pronounce it any differently than<br />

you would with “Rally” but it is so much<br />

more fun to be absolutely sophistic<strong>at</strong>ed<br />

isn’t it? It is this month’s Porsche<br />

vocabulary choice because Larry Moore<br />

is putting toge<strong>the</strong>r a wonderful and fun<br />

rallye event th<strong>at</strong> will be twisted, turned,<br />

folded, spindled, and mutil<strong>at</strong>ed. Now<br />

th<strong>at</strong> might sound scary, particularly if<br />

you’re an IBM punch card, but actually<br />

it will be a good day for couples and<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir Porsches in Orange County. Larry<br />

is <strong>the</strong> evil Rallye genius for <strong>the</strong> club<br />

and has designed this one for <strong>the</strong> more<br />

casual rallye participant but not without<br />

its’ own share of challenges. I heartily<br />

suggest you get <strong>the</strong> Mr. or Mrs. to put<br />

on his or her duster and take to <strong>the</strong> road<br />

with Larry and his crew. I hope to be<br />

<strong>at</strong> this one myself. Say “howdy” if you<br />

come out, I’ll be <strong>the</strong> first guy lost.<br />

Steve and members of <strong>the</strong> Loan Pros team<br />

Purchasing or refinancing a home does not have to be stressful. Lenders offer many different loan programs.<br />

Each of <strong>the</strong>se loan programs provides different benefits. Your choice of a mortgage broker is an important<br />

consider<strong>at</strong>ion. FMC Loan Pros work with our business partners daily wholesale pricing quotes to provide<br />

you with <strong>the</strong> best program. Most of our programs are “ZERO” points. With FMC Loan Pros you don’t<br />

pay for credit reports, loan administr<strong>at</strong>ion fees or wh<strong>at</strong> is referred to in <strong>the</strong> industry as “junk” fees. Be tre<strong>at</strong>ed<br />

professionally by professionals – Call us!<br />

We provide excellent service and can save you thousands of dollars!<br />

Corners of <strong>the</strong> Mind<br />

(continued from page 25)<br />

over and over, we are bound to get better<br />

by familiariz<strong>at</strong>ion. But we can improve<br />

this learning process by using some<br />

mental techniques, <strong>the</strong>reby improving<br />

<strong>the</strong> quality of our available track time.<br />

Have you ever wondered why some<br />

folks can learn a track in a lap or two,<br />

while o<strong>the</strong>rs struggle with it for over<br />

a dozen laps? It is not due to physical<br />

conditioning or strength. <strong>The</strong> good news<br />

is th<strong>at</strong> this talent CAN be learned by<br />

studying and practice. <strong>The</strong>re are also<br />

ways to improve our skills when we are<br />

not actually driving on <strong>the</strong> track. If we<br />

can improve our skills while we are not<br />

physically on <strong>the</strong> course, this is kind of<br />

like getting extra track time - not a bad<br />

deal I’d say.<br />

Many areas we will cover in l<strong>at</strong>er<br />

chapters are common-sense items<br />

or things th<strong>at</strong> we already do <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

subconscious level. Some are new<br />

ideas. By bringing <strong>the</strong>se topics up<br />

and discussing <strong>the</strong>m, we increase our<br />

awareness of wh<strong>at</strong> goes on in our minds<br />

when we drive. This elev<strong>at</strong>ed awareness<br />

allows us to enhance <strong>the</strong> mental skills<br />

we already possess, and learn new ones.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are many benefits to<br />

improving your cognitive driving skills;<br />

you will improve your performance<br />

driving; you will be a safer driver on and<br />

off <strong>the</strong> track; you will be able to continue<br />

improving; you don’t have to spend<br />

money to go faster; and being smarter<br />

won’t make your car any less reliable.<br />

Plus, look <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> list of modific<strong>at</strong>ions<br />

allowed in various classes. Nowhere<br />

will you find any penalty or points<br />

assessment for ‘improved brains’ - it is<br />

a completely legal modific<strong>at</strong>ion in all<br />

forms of motorsports!<br />
