President’s Message<br />

Story by Arm<strong>and</strong> Gastelo<br />

<strong>October</strong> is a month of change. You can<br />

see <strong>and</strong> feel the change around you.<br />

Porsche has gone through some changes<br />

as well. Porsche engineers revealed an<br />

all new 997, <strong>and</strong> the all new Panamera<br />

<strong>this</strong> year. Change is sometimes a good<br />

thing.<br />

Your club has gone through some<br />

changes as well, <strong>and</strong> will have major<br />

changes next year with a new President,<br />

Vice-President, Treasurer <strong>and</strong> Secretary.<br />

A new web site for the club should be up<br />

<strong>and</strong> running within the next few months.<br />

Exp<strong>and</strong>ed autocross venues are planned<br />

as well for 2010.<br />

Many new <strong>and</strong> exciting changes are<br />

in the horizon for YOUR club. You too<br />

can be part of <strong>this</strong> change. Become more<br />

active with the running of events or join<br />

the board of directors or a committee.<br />

Make a difference. We are currently<br />

looking for a new goodie store manager.<br />

Change is good. Well―I wish I still<br />

looked like the photo above.<br />

Editor’s Notes<br />

by Garey Cooper<br />

A Hot Time Was Had By All<br />

We had a near panic in the executive<br />

suite of the Orange Coast Region tower<br />

recently. It seems that the temperature<br />

control in the Club Sauna went haywire<br />

<strong>and</strong> several high officials were nearly<br />

parboiled! Unfortunately in the ensuing<br />

panic a number of people ran out into<br />

the marble lined hallways with little or<br />

no corporeal coverage <strong>and</strong> the result<br />

is that we now know some of our<br />

members more than we ever thought we<br />

would. <strong>In</strong> most cases <strong>this</strong> is bad news<br />

indeed. I was fortunate enough to have<br />

been reading a copy of the Wall Street<br />

Journal at the time, so that I had ample<br />

newsprint with which to cover myself,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the graphs were even pointing in<br />

the right direction. As my uncle Rick<br />

O’Shay Cooper used to say, “if you<br />

can’t be good you gotta be lucky.”<br />

We All Answer to the Name of Lucky<br />

I would have to say that we do indeed<br />

answer to the name of Lucky here in the<br />

Orange Coast Region of the Porsche<br />

Club of America. First of all, where<br />

we live, <strong>and</strong> of course we are fortunate<br />

enough to have the means needed to<br />

acquire a Porsche. Not bad at all in the<br />

great scale of things. And the exodus<br />

of your Board from the Sauna Scalding<br />

puts them back out onto the happy<br />

streets, planning ever more events for<br />

your automotive diversion. Considering<br />

what we’ve already done as a club<br />

<strong>and</strong> the many more entertaining <strong>and</strong><br />

educating things we have planned for<br />

the end of <strong>2009</strong>, you just cannot stay<br />

put as a couch potato while the year<br />

winds down. So grab your significant<br />

other <strong>and</strong> drag them out to our next<br />

happening― you won’t regret it.<br />

The Widow Maker<br />

I mention the weather because<br />

I’m just back from a vacation in<br />

Scotl<strong>and</strong> with Mrs. Cooper. My<br />

primary responsibility on these<br />

jaunts is to watch for the h<strong>and</strong>ling<br />

of “The Widow Maker,” (<strong>this</strong> is<br />

her suitcase). It is no coincidence<br />

that the EU has seen an upsurge in<br />

Workmens Comp cases after the<br />

Widow Maker has gone through<br />

<strong>and</strong> laid waste to backs, cartilage,<br />

<strong>and</strong> even bones. The airlines try<br />

to warn people when they put a<br />

big red tag that says HEAVY on <strong>this</strong><br />

portmanteau. I’ve never even seen the<br />

bottom of it. I know it must be there<br />

somewhere, but the task of digging<br />

down to the depths without special<br />

mining equipment is beyond me <strong>and</strong><br />

most people without night vision<br />

goggles.<br />

Scotl<strong>and</strong> is the home of golf,<br />

of course, <strong>and</strong> it is also where they<br />

invented rain. At least it sure seemed so<br />

during our late August trip. Every time<br />

it was dry for 10 minutes we’d rush<br />

out to the tee box <strong>and</strong> try to get around<br />

18 dry holes, but <strong>this</strong> seldom worked<br />

out. Thank goodness it was summer. I<br />

kept looking at the Huntington Beach<br />

weather on the cell phone <strong>and</strong> it was<br />

just enough to remind me of how<br />

fortunate we are to have a thing called<br />

summer, <strong>and</strong> the notion of rain as a<br />

novelty <strong>and</strong> not a normalcy.<br />

OCTOBER <strong>2009</strong> 7


<strong>Featured</strong> Member<br />

Competition Driven!<br />

Story <strong>and</strong> photos from <strong>Bob</strong> Stockwell<br />

As far back as I can remember, I have<br />

always loved cars. As a kid, growing up<br />

in South Gate, California, I used to listen<br />

to the <strong>In</strong>dianapolis 500 on the radio <strong>and</strong><br />

mark the position of my favorite drivers<br />

with my small collection of model cars.<br />

My next door neighbor who, along<br />

with his wife, worked at the Firestone tire<br />

plant nearby, had a 1949 MG TC that his<br />

wife took to work everyday―I wanted<br />

that car! As a young boy, I always<br />

tinkered in the garage with my dad <strong>and</strong><br />

we built what I thought was the perfect<br />

Soap Box Derby car―that is until I saw<br />

a real one at the local Chevy dealer’s<br />

showroom. Oh well, my car won every<br />

race in our neighborhood since I was<br />

a little heavier than the neighborhood<br />

boys, it went faster downhill!<br />

My first car was a 1959 Fiat 500.<br />

Great little car with 21 horsepower!<br />

Driving it to high school, every day when<br />

I would come out of class to go home, I<br />

usually found it on the sidewalk! Four of<br />

my friends would lift it from its parking<br />

spot <strong>and</strong> put it on the sidewalk just to<br />

make life difficult! It did win a trophy in<br />

the high school car show for the smallest<br />

car displayed!<br />

<strong>In</strong> Rome, <strong>Bob</strong> with a Fiat 500, just like<br />

his first car.<br />

After I graduated from high school,<br />

my parents helped me trade in the Fiat<br />

for a new red 1961 Austin Healey Sprite.<br />

Man, was I livin’! Shortly thereafter, I was<br />

drafted into the Army <strong>and</strong> ended up as a<br />

Meteorologist in Korea. Upon my return<br />

home, I started to upgrade my Sprite (as<br />

things began breaking) with competition<br />

parts, which would be the beginning of<br />

my foray into car racing. The first try at<br />

replacing the clutch with a competition<br />

unit took me <strong>and</strong> two friends over two<br />

days <strong>and</strong> 13+ hours. Subsequently, in<br />

1967 at the Santa Barbara Road Races,<br />

two friends <strong>and</strong> I replaced the clutch <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>Bob</strong> in his Sprite at Willow Springs<br />

had the car running for the next race in<br />

1½ hours. What a learning curve!<br />

After my return from the Army,<br />

I started my career in banking in the<br />

Automobile Finance. Now with a steady<br />

job, I could concentrate on racing my<br />

Sprite. I was fortunate to become very<br />

successful in SCCA racing in the H<br />

Production class, finishing 2nd in the<br />

SCCA Pacific Division in 1967 <strong>and</strong><br />

going to the SCCA Runoffs in Daytona<br />

Beach, where I took the Pole position<br />

1.5 seconds in front of the field. After<br />

losing the transmission in practice<br />

during qualifying <strong>and</strong> a series of mishaps<br />

in getting the parts flown in from Los<br />

Angeles (which didn’t arrive), I was<br />

successful in getting one of the reserve<br />

cars to lend me a transmission. Well,<br />

because we were delayed at the Orl<strong>and</strong>o<br />

airport waiting for the parts, it took until<br />

7 a.m. the next morning to change the<br />

Winning the 1968 National<br />

Championship in the Sprite 2<br />

<strong>Bob</strong> <strong>and</strong> the Carrera at the 2007<br />

Newport Beach Concours<br />

transmission (using a tree branch to hold<br />

the hoist for the engine in the Holiday<br />

<strong>In</strong>n parking lot). The race was at 9:30<br />

a.m.<br />

As it turned out, with no sleep the<br />

night before, I fell asleep on the starting<br />

grid! It wasn’t until I heard the roar of<br />

the other cars, that I woke up! I was 4th<br />

into Turn One (but remember I was 1.5<br />

seconds faster than everybody else. At<br />

the end of the first lap, going into Turn<br />

One again, I was hit in the passenger<br />

door by a sliding competitor who had<br />

locked up his brakes. The hit put me<br />

off the course <strong>and</strong> when I got turned<br />

around, I was dead last―but remember,<br />

I was 1.5 seconds a lap faster! Then,<br />

on the next lap, my br<strong>and</strong> new Berry<br />

Plastiglass Fiberglass seat, which was<br />

on a 4-inch aluminum frame, started to<br />

break apart. By the end of the second<br />

lap, my seat was on the floor, sliding<br />

around. I was throwing the parts out of<br />

the car, tightening my seat belts, <strong>and</strong> I<br />

couldn’t see over the dashboard! Well,<br />

no worry, I was 1.5 seconds faster, right!<br />

Well, I did make back to 5th place, but<br />

eventually, at the end of the race, I spun<br />

out trying to overtake the 4th place car<br />

<strong>and</strong>, because I was holding on with my<br />

left arm for so long to stay in the car, I<br />

became so fatigued, I couldn’t continue.<br />

The next year (1968), all the stars<br />

were apparently in place. I was the<br />

Pacific Division Champion <strong>and</strong> won the<br />

National Championship at Riverside! I<br />

moved on to successfully race a Triumph<br />

Spitfire in F Production for several<br />

more years. Due to the heavy racing<br />

expenses, I decided to sell my race car<br />

to a good friend, Kas Kastner, who was<br />

head of the Triumph Racing Division.<br />

He convinced me to trade my race car<br />

for his 22’ Santana sailboat. I instantly<br />

fell in love with sailboats <strong>and</strong> within a<br />

short time, began racing them in Marina<br />

8


<strong>Bob</strong> in the Triumph Spitfire race car<br />

Del Rey! For the next 20 years or so, I<br />

raced a number of sailboats that I owned<br />

up <strong>and</strong> down the Southern California<br />

coast including in the Ensenada Race.<br />

During all <strong>this</strong>, I met my lovely wife <strong>Sue</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> we were married in 1978.<br />

Since I had converted the Sprite to<br />

a race car back in 1964, I had to have<br />

a tow vehicle, which ended up being a<br />

1965 Ford Mustang. When I eventually<br />

sold my Triumph race car, I knew that I<br />

wanted a performance car to drive every<br />

day. I had always liked Porsches <strong>and</strong> as it<br />

turns out, a customer of mine at the bank<br />

had a green 1969 911S for sale. One look<br />

<strong>and</strong> I was hooked! What a great car. It<br />

had a Bursch exhaust so it sounded great<br />

<strong>and</strong> it certainly h<strong>and</strong>led way better than<br />

my Sprite or Triumph! Unfortunately,<br />

several years later, while practicing my<br />

driving skills, I crashed <strong>and</strong> totaled the<br />

Porsche on Pacific Coast Highway right<br />

in front of the Chart House Restaurant!<br />

I went backward across PCH <strong>and</strong> backed<br />

into a Volkswagen van, which I turned on<br />

its side---but it kept me <strong>and</strong> the Porsche<br />

from going over the 50’ cliff to the s<strong>and</strong><br />

below! Fortunately, no one was hurt,<br />

but the Porsche was a total loss! I then<br />

purchased a more conservative 1974<br />

yellow 924, which became my daily<br />

driver. My wife, <strong>Sue</strong>, <strong>and</strong> I took it on our<br />

honeymoon to Aspen, Colorado. During<br />

our trip up to Aspen, the heater control in<br />

the dash broke <strong>and</strong> we had no heat. As a<br />

result, we would drive until we couldn’t<br />

st<strong>and</strong> it any longer <strong>and</strong> would stop for<br />

coffee at a gas station <strong>and</strong> try to warm up.<br />

As it turned out, as long as the car idled<br />

The crashed ‘69 911S<br />

in the gas station, the inside got toasty<br />

warm. As soon as we started out however,<br />

the cold would set in. Despite the cold,<br />

we had a great trip there <strong>and</strong> back! Later,<br />

we sold the 924 <strong>and</strong> bought a 1974 Peru<br />

Red 911 Targa, which, unfortunately, was<br />

stolen a number of years later, from the<br />

bank parking lot where I was working in<br />

Beverly Hills.<br />

A succession of other cars followed,<br />

including several other Mustangs, an<br />

Alfa GTV <strong>and</strong> even Cadillac Eldorados,<br />

BMW M3, Broncos <strong>and</strong> Suburbans until<br />

we acquired a 1969 912 Targa. Great car,<br />

but no horsepower! Subsequently, we<br />

found a 1980 Weissach Coupe in Ventura<br />

that was too good to pass up. I entered it<br />

in what was to be the last Porsche Club<br />

Concours held in front of the Westin<br />

Hotel in 1989 or so. The whole family<br />

was involved, <strong>Sue</strong>, Ryan <strong>and</strong> our little<br />

daughter, Am<strong>and</strong>a!<br />

After racing sailboats for 20+ years,<br />

we purchased a 34’ sport fishing boat in<br />

the late 1980s to fish for Marlin. <strong>In</strong> 1988,<br />

some friends invited <strong>Sue</strong> <strong>and</strong> I to Cabo<br />

San Lucas for a vacation. While we were<br />

there, I ran into another friend who had<br />

a 52’ Pacifica sport fishing boat <strong>and</strong> he<br />

Autocross Corner<br />

Porsche Defeats Ferrari, Lotus &<br />

Corvette at Autocross<br />

& Laguna Seca: A Lifelong Dream<br />

Story by Steve Eguina<br />

August was an endless month of auto<br />

events for many OCR members. The<br />

month began <strong>and</strong> ended with the Orange<br />

Coast Region/ Walter’s Porsche AutoX<br />

Series events on Aug 9 <strong>and</strong> 30. <strong>In</strong><br />

between was the Monterey Historic Races<br />

with Porsche as the featured marque <strong>and</strong><br />

several members raced at the Porsche<br />

Owners Club event at Laguna Seca the<br />

following weekend.<br />

The Sunday Aug. 9 AutoX<br />

kicked off the month with 100+ drivers<br />

entered. The event was sponsored<br />

by Fairview Mortgage Capital <strong>and</strong><br />

RacingLifestyle.com. It was a pretty<br />

relaxed event. <strong>In</strong> addition to FMC <strong>and</strong><br />

Racing Lifestyle, Walter’s surprised the<br />

members by bringing out a silver 2010<br />

GT2, a new Cayenne <strong>and</strong> a 997 Porsche<br />

equipped with the new PDK transmission<br />

for members to DRIVE on the AutoX<br />

course. Talk about a great test drive!<br />

Also, GMG’s Service Manager,<br />

John “G” had some real car jewelry on<br />

display. The new two-pound GMG<br />

World Challenge-inspired catback<br />

exhaust system as well as StopTech<br />

Brakes, Moton suspension <strong>and</strong> Sparco<br />

driving suits. <strong>In</strong> addition GMG displayed<br />

a WC-GT2 <strong>and</strong> a white 2010 GT3 already<br />

equipped with the new exhaust system. I<br />

might mention that John has been around<br />

Porsches most of his life, not only as<br />

an advisor to Porsche North America,<br />

but as a tech expert. So it came as no<br />

surprise when Dick Storehouse’s 993 had<br />

a throttle problem, John asked to borrow<br />

a h<strong>and</strong> full of tools <strong>and</strong> had Dick’s car<br />

running in about 20 minutes.<br />

The event had quite a few first<br />

time drivers register for the event. (You<br />

can tell the first timers by the Huge<br />

grins when they come off the course)<br />

They were assigned an instructor, given<br />

a helmet <strong>and</strong> had a great time playing<br />

with their Porsche. A number of the<br />

competitors had really close times.<br />

Driving modified 911SCs Gerry Griffin<br />

only won over Kent Verderico by 0.300<br />

seconds. Driving their stock 944 Turbo<br />

Rick <strong>and</strong> Dennis Neff finished 1st<br />

<strong>and</strong> 3rd with Andres Branum in his 86<br />

Carrera in the middle. All three drivers’<br />

times were only 0.200 seconds apart. <strong>In</strong><br />

the N Prepared class, Robert Morales<br />

driving a 996 won over <strong>Bob</strong> Nimtz in his<br />

993 Cab. That order would be reversed<br />

at the next event. I think these two will<br />

be very close in points for the year-end<br />

championship. Beating the boys, OCR’s<br />

registration Hero Christine Newcomer<br />

took first place in her stock Cayman S<br />

over OCR’s Chief Driving <strong>In</strong>structor<br />

Adam Nguyen. (Oh! That hurt.) <strong>In</strong> the<br />

six-car PS/S class, the times were very<br />

close as Greg Lush beat Jeremy Bernath<br />

by only 0.420 seconds! This Sunday<br />

everything was right in the world. Joe<br />

had cooked up some great dogs, brauts,<br />

chili <strong>and</strong> burgers <strong>and</strong>, at the end of the<br />

day, Gary Thomason driving his 996<br />

GT3 turned the Top Time of Day with<br />

a 69.660, beating the Lotus of Jason<br />

Uyeda, Rad Delgado’s Ferrari <strong>and</strong> Steve<br />

Abbott driving his Corvette. All turned<br />

times in the 70s.<br />

August’s Second AutoCross<br />

Vrooom, Vroooom Vrooom was the sound<br />

of the Porsche engines warming up on<br />

that warm August 30 Sunday morning.<br />

Many seemed inspired by all the racing<br />

Porsches at the Monterey Historics two<br />

weeks prior! OH, <strong>and</strong> we had a couple<br />

Corvettes….Bruum, Bruum, Bruum.<br />

The day was going to be VERY<br />

HOT <strong>and</strong> it was a welcome site to see<br />

the Event Sponsor: Vision Motorsports<br />

crew putting up awnings <strong>and</strong> chairs.<br />

They always do such a great job <strong>and</strong><br />

provided plenty of great food <strong>and</strong> cool<br />

drinks. Thank You! Dwayne also<br />

brought out a really nice 944 Spec racer<br />

<strong>and</strong> a couple of other track cars he just<br />

finished. If you want to go racing <strong>and</strong><br />

Steve in his GT2G5 at Laguna Seca<br />

not have to mortgage the house, give<br />

Dwayne a call!<br />

for 3rd, etc. With five events remaining<br />

many class championships are still up for<br />

grabs. A couple classes expected to go<br />

right down to the last event in December<br />

may be class FI where Christian Van<br />

Fleet is holding on by only a three-point<br />

margin over last year champion David<br />

Palmquist. Both drive in modified early<br />

911s. Ted Hoiberg has a chance to catch<br />

Jerry Griffin in class I Prepared.<br />

Ken Fredrickson needs to continue<br />

his winning streak in the last two events<br />

to defeat Cooper Boogs. <strong>In</strong> class J<br />

Prepared driving his 911 Carrera, Kris<br />

Scheussler appears to only be one win<br />

away from clinching up his first-class<br />

championship. Bonnie Delgado driving<br />

her Boxster must keep up her winning<br />

streak to succeed over first-year driver<br />

Barbara D’Alless<strong>and</strong>ro. <strong>In</strong> class MS<br />

the championship appears to be locked<br />

up by Hideki Okano but second place<br />

is wide open with only 33 points<br />

separating Akira Kogawa, Roger Ang,<br />

Dennis Power <strong>and</strong> Tom Tanquary. The<br />

same is true in class MS/S where Kyle<br />

Largent leads Gary Lai, Guy Johnson<br />

Cleaning Your Engine – Part 2<br />

By Bev Gould<br />

<strong>In</strong> my first article about cleaning your<br />

engine (See September <strong>2009</strong> P<strong>and</strong>o),<br />

we examined how to steam clean the<br />

engine for the first time. Typically, if you<br />

maintain the cleaning routine, you only<br />

have to steam clean the engine once. I<br />

did <strong>this</strong> on my Denali a few years ago.<br />

That vehicle has been through the snow,<br />

mud <strong>and</strong> a lot of miles since I did that.<br />

But recently we took it to a mechanic<br />

<strong>and</strong> he was amazed how clean the engine<br />

was. Tom does a touch up clean on the<br />

engine when he does an oil change or<br />

other maintenance, but it shows you how<br />

a good first-time clean will last.<br />

both work very well at dissolving grease.<br />

Take some WD-40 or Strik <strong>and</strong> spray it<br />

on the sheet metal. Neither product will<br />

harm your engine, so don’t worry about<br />

getting it on something. You will want<br />

to spray enough to cover the grease, but<br />

not swim in it. However, if you do get<br />

too enthusiastic, too much doesn’t harm<br />

anything except your pocketbook. For<br />

now I am going to refer to the WD-40<br />

product as mentioning both gets a bit<br />

redundant. The key is to find a product<br />

you are comfortable with <strong>and</strong> use it. I use<br />

these two as I have had good results with<br />

both of them.<br />

motion on the liquid. Use paper towels<br />

to wipe the area down, making sure you<br />

get in the crevices <strong>and</strong> under the lips of<br />

the metal. This will pick up more “stuff”<br />

<strong>and</strong> remove any residue from the metal.<br />

This is probably the most gratifying part<br />

of the job. The metal gleans <strong>and</strong> you can<br />

wipe your fingers along it <strong>and</strong> not have<br />

to wear gloves. If your painted metal is<br />

in bad shape, you may want to entertain<br />

the thought of painting it after it has been<br />

cleaned. This is what we did; however<br />

you have to take the engine out in order<br />

to do it properly.<br />

You can use products other than<br />

WD-40 or Zymöl’s Strik. Some work<br />

pretty good. I have had such good luck<br />

with these that I do not use anything else<br />

on old dried stubborn grease. By the way,<br />

WD-40 works great on cleaning door<br />

hinges, latches pins etc.<br />

Now you have your engine steam<br />

cleaned <strong>and</strong> you want to get more<br />

grease <strong>and</strong> dirt out of the engine.<br />

There are four primary areas of<br />

your engine to attack at <strong>this</strong> stage.<br />

1) The sheet metal on the sides/front,<br />

2) The painted sides/shelves,<br />

3) The fan/fan shroud <strong>and</strong> the trickiest-<br />

4) The engine parts.<br />

There are many more areas to clean,<br />

but let’s take <strong>this</strong> in stages or you might<br />

get overwhelmed. <strong>In</strong> <strong>this</strong> story, we will<br />

cover the sheet metal <strong>and</strong> painted areas<br />

of the engine. Cleaning the engine parts<br />

will probably be an article in itself; we’ll<br />

see.<br />

The sheet metal is probably the<br />

easiest to clean. You got most of the<br />

grease off when you steam cleaned the<br />

engine. A trick I found that works on<br />

removing old built-up grease is WD-40<br />

or Zymöl’s Strik Engine Cleaner. They<br />

Let the WD-40 sit there for a few<br />

minutes <strong>and</strong> then take one of these old<br />

toothbrushes I have talked about before<br />

<strong>and</strong> work the toothbrush on the liquid in<br />

small circular motions. This will loosen<br />

most of the old dried grease cohabiting<br />

in your engine. Work the toothbrush<br />

in the crevices <strong>and</strong> edges along the<br />

sides of the engine. Next, make sure<br />

you have plenty of paper towels, some<br />

disposable gloves (it’s a dirty job) <strong>and</strong> a<br />

wastebasket. Take the paper towel <strong>and</strong><br />

wipe the WD-40 from the sheet metal.<br />

Go over the area with paper towel until<br />

you feel you have removed most of the<br />

grease. Grease can be very stubborn <strong>and</strong><br />

you will probably have to go over the<br />

same areas once or twice again to get all<br />

the old grease. Now take a citrus (if you<br />

are using Strik you can skip <strong>this</strong> step as<br />

it is a bio-product) or Simple Green type<br />

cleaner <strong>and</strong> spray the area. Take another<br />

old toothbrush <strong>and</strong> use the same circular<br />

The next area of attack will take<br />

longer <strong>and</strong> needs more patience. You<br />

steamed cleaned the engine <strong>and</strong> tried to<br />

get most of the yucky greasy stuff off the<br />

painted areas. Don’t be too concerned if<br />

you did not get it completely clean. The<br />

rough paint <strong>and</strong> crevices make <strong>this</strong> a bear<br />

to clean <strong>and</strong> maintain. Toothbrushes are<br />

especially h<strong>and</strong>y for these rough areas.<br />

Spray the Strik, citrus or Simple Green<br />

cleaner on the paint; let it sit for a few<br />

minutes before putting your toothbrush<br />

into action. Use the same circular motions<br />

we have discussed before to work the dirt<br />

<strong>and</strong> grease from the paint. Be careful not<br />

to rub too hard, as the paint may be old<br />

<strong>and</strong> can chip off. It is always a good idea<br />

to have some touch up paint in the garage,<br />

just in case. If you need touch up paint,<br />

go to a good automotive paint store <strong>and</strong><br />

they’ll do a color match for you. As you<br />

work the toothbrush, spray more cleaner<br />

on the area. This will add new cleaner to<br />

attack recently uncovered dirt <strong>and</strong> grease.<br />

Laguna Seca - A Lifelong Dream<br />

During the late 1960s, I began attending<br />

races at Laguna Seca Raceway. I watched<br />

Shelby 289 Cobras trade position with the<br />

Porsche factory 904s who were vying for<br />

the Manufactures Championship. Then<br />

for several years the Trans-Am series was<br />

my favorite. Small block V-8s twisted to<br />

8,000+ rpm. <strong>In</strong> later years I watched<br />

George Follmer <strong>and</strong> Mark Donahue drive<br />

Roger Penske’s factory backed Panzer<br />

917s to victory over Bruce McLaren’s<br />

thundering aluminum-block Chevy<br />

powered Can-Am cars, that had<br />

dominated the series for several years.<br />

The sound of all these cars down<br />

shifting <strong>and</strong> braking hard side by side<br />

as they prepared to accelerate up the<br />

Laguna Seca front straight made the<br />

hair on my arm st<strong>and</strong> straight up! The<br />

corkscrew was always another great<br />

spot to watch the race. As the cars<br />

crested the hill <strong>and</strong> jogged to the left,<br />

the track seemed to drop straight down<br />

as they all hammered the throttle!<br />

(Because it does) Boy, What would<br />

that be like? Wheel to wheel, nose to<br />

tail, flat out around Laguna Seca. Well<br />

let me tell you it is great!<br />

Each year, the weekend after the<br />

Monterey Historic Races, the Porsche<br />

Owners Club holds three days of<br />

racing on the Laguna Seca track.<br />

I completed the POC’s Cup Race<br />

Drivers Clinic earlier <strong>this</strong> year <strong>and</strong> so<br />

if I was ever going to race wheel to<br />

wheel at my favorite track, <strong>this</strong> was<br />

my chance. GMG had prepared my<br />

car along with a couple others for the<br />

event. Guy Dryer (GT3 Cup Car),<br />

Gary Tolar (Koni Challenge Car)<br />

<strong>and</strong> I (996 GT2) were all in the “Red<br />

Group.” This group can be a little<br />

intimidating, as it is the fastest cars<br />

that race in POC <strong>and</strong> the drivers are<br />

all very skilled. However, POC has<br />

a reputation for being a very safe <strong>and</strong><br />

“sane” group.<br />

My son Michael agreed to work<br />

as my pit crew. He would spend<br />

most of the weekend changing tires,<br />

checking tire temps, adjusting shocks<br />

<strong>and</strong> making sure I was all strapped in<br />

<strong>and</strong> my HANS device <strong>and</strong> helmet were<br />

secure. Friday was practice <strong>and</strong> the car<br />

was a little “twitchy.” It was somewhat<br />

expected, as the car had new shocks,<br />

suspension setup <strong>and</strong> a new “go fast”<br />

differential. We realigned the car <strong>and</strong><br />

thought we had the problem cured late<br />

that night, but in Saturday morning<br />

practice we were still scratching our<br />

heads. With the help of the GMG<br />

Team, the problem was resolved <strong>and</strong><br />

by Saturday afternoon qualifying we<br />

were ready to go. My goal for the<br />

first race was to stay out of trouble<br />

<strong>and</strong> just finish. We once the green flag<br />

fell it seemed silly to just finish. We had<br />

qualified 18th out of 23 cars. By the end<br />

of the 12-lap race, we had worked our<br />

way up to 11th.<br />

Sunday morning we were at the<br />

track early. Everything felt right. The<br />

morning practice felt very good as<br />

Michael had changed the tire pressures<br />

<strong>and</strong> made a couple shock adjustments.<br />

I was getting comfortable with the<br />

new-found h<strong>and</strong>ling of the GT2. Prior<br />

to qualifying, Michael made one more<br />

shock adjustment. I could tell by the<br />

first two turns he had them spot on! We<br />

were three seconds faster <strong>and</strong> able to<br />

qualify 9th for Sunday’s race.<br />

As we formed up for the start I<br />

had four of the fastest Porsches directly<br />

ahead of me. I took a deep breath <strong>and</strong><br />

then it hit me. Here I was on the warmup<br />

lap with 23 other Porsches at Laguna<br />

Seca Raceway! As we rounded the last<br />

turn to take the green flag, the hair on my<br />

arms stood straight up AGAIN! I could<br />

see my son Michael out of the corner of<br />

my eye jumping up <strong>and</strong> down cheering.<br />

This was it! A lifelong dream <strong>and</strong> best<br />

of all it was shared with my son!<br />

Till next month. Have Fun!<br />

On a warm August day, 138 OCR<br />

members in 76 cars gathered at Jack <strong>and</strong><br />

Margaret Brown’s hangar at Fullerton<br />

Airport to begin the 9th Annual Hearts<br />

<strong>and</strong> Garages Tour. This tour is an annual<br />

progressive dinner that is a fund-raiser<br />

for our Region’s designated charity.<br />

Check-in went very smoothly for<br />

a large group despite the warm day,<br />

thanks to the efforts of Judy Lech <strong>and</strong><br />

Gloria Moore at registration, <strong>and</strong> Larry<br />

Moore <strong>and</strong> Ken Fredrickson manning<br />

the gate. After parking, the members<br />

got a chance to view Jack’s cars in the<br />

hangar, which was amply decorated<br />

with Porsche pictures <strong>and</strong> memorabilia.<br />

Jack’s friend <strong>and</strong> noted Porsche artist<br />

Steve Anderson had done many of the<br />

pictures on the hangar walls, <strong>and</strong> he<br />

also came out to join in the festivities.<br />

Steve gave each participant a poster.<br />

The Porsches of the participants<br />

were lined up in front of multiple<br />

hangars, which created an impromptu<br />

car show for everyone to enjoy. Besides<br />

the Porsches in the hangar, there was<br />

a vintage Corvette, a ‘57 Chevy <strong>and</strong> a<br />

unique Alfa Romeo coupe that had been<br />

featured in Road <strong>and</strong> Track magazine.<br />

After devouring the antipasto, salad <strong>and</strong><br />

bruchetta (supplied by Mulberry Street<br />

restaurant), visiting with friends <strong>and</strong><br />

checking out the cars, we all departed, in<br />

true Porsche fashion, for the next stop.<br />

The second destination was in<br />

Irvine, where the main course of<br />

Hawaiian BBQ was eaten al fresco<br />

outside Bryan Pepper <strong>and</strong> Heather<br />

Fera’s garage. Umbrellas <strong>and</strong> canopies<br />

had been erected to shield folks from<br />

the afternoon sun, <strong>and</strong> we were all<br />

grateful the previous week’s heat wave<br />

had ended. It was a sumptuous<br />

repast, <strong>and</strong> everyone enjoyed<br />

the distinctive Hawaiian flavors.<br />

There were three different model<br />

Boxsters in the garage, including a<br />

RS60 Spyder Anniversary Edition,<br />

<strong>and</strong> each had an informational sheet<br />

explaining its distinctive features.<br />

Then it was a dash off to<br />

San Clemente (there was that onramp<br />

gr<strong>and</strong> prix again) for dessert,<br />

coffee, German chocolate cake<br />

<strong>and</strong> apple at the home of Michael<br />

<strong>and</strong> Shelley Reissmueller. The<br />

morning’s wind <strong>and</strong> rain in South<br />

County had cleared <strong>and</strong> everyone<br />

enjoyed a beautiful evening in<br />

the back yard facing towards the<br />

Pacific Ocean.<br />

A special thank you to our<br />

hosts, who graciously made our<br />

event extremely enjoyable.<br />

<strong>Featured</strong> Member<br />

(Cont. from pg. 9)<br />

took us fishing for Marlin. Well---what<br />

a time we had! I was fortunate to hook a<br />

big―I mean big―Black Marlin. <strong>In</strong> fact,<br />

at 983 lbs., it was the 2nd largest Marlin<br />

ever caught in Cabo San Lucas. I wanted<br />

to have it mounted <strong>and</strong> bring it home, but<br />

<strong>Sue</strong> said that it was so big it wouldn’t fit<br />

anywhere in the house! So, it is mounted<br />

on the wall at Marina Sol Hotel in Cabo.<br />

Also, about that time, I wanted to<br />

get back into racing cars so I sold the<br />

Weissach Coupe to my neighbor <strong>and</strong><br />

purchased two racing Go Karts for my<br />

son <strong>and</strong> me to race. We had a good time<br />

racing for a number of years until I ended<br />

up crashing my Kart in practice, up at<br />

Jim Hall’s track in Ventura. I ran into the<br />

Start Tower <strong>and</strong> broke six ribs, front <strong>and</strong><br />

back, broke my collarbone <strong>and</strong> shoulder<br />

blade <strong>and</strong> punctured my lung. After<br />

three days in <strong>In</strong>tensive Care, 13 days<br />

in the hospital <strong>and</strong> over two months to<br />

recover, we sold the Go Karts! All I have<br />

left now is a slight twitch―just kidding!<br />

After recovering, at the recommendation<br />

of my orthopedist, I began competing<br />

in Sporting Clay shotgun competitions<br />

across California <strong>and</strong> Nevada <strong>and</strong> today,<br />

in addition, I occasionally compete in<br />

Cowboy Action Shooting events.<br />

After a short time, I came across a<br />

1965 Shelby GT350 that an acquaintance<br />

wanted to sell. I couldn’t resist! We<br />

had a great time showing the Shelby at<br />

Concours events with much success.<br />

About <strong>this</strong> time my son, Ryan, was able<br />

to start driving <strong>and</strong> of course, he wanted<br />

to drive the Shelby. Not! Subsequently,<br />

we decided to sell the Shelby <strong>and</strong> bought<br />

a 1965 Mustang Fastback that he <strong>and</strong> I<br />

restored to 1965 Shelby “R” Model racing<br />

specifications. During <strong>this</strong> process, Ryan<br />

was still able to drive the Mustang to high<br />

<strong>Bob</strong> <strong>and</strong> Ryan driving the Cobra <strong>and</strong><br />

Mustang at Willow Springs in 2007<br />

school! When Ryan went away to<br />

college, the Mustang was fitted with<br />

a new racing engine <strong>and</strong> we finished<br />

up all the required elements for us<br />

to go racing!<br />

Since 2000, I have been racing<br />

the Mustang <strong>and</strong> for a short time,<br />

a special Shelby Cobra in Vintage<br />

events that have been held at<br />

Willow Springs, Laguna Seca, Auto<br />

Club Speedway, Coronado, Miller<br />

Sports Park in Salt Lake City <strong>and</strong><br />

Hallet Raceway in Tulsa, Oklahoma<br />

among others. As many of you know,<br />

vintage racing is not all about winning;<br />

it is the spirit of competition in vintage<br />

cars.<br />

<strong>In</strong> 2005, we decided to take European<br />

delivery of a new 2006 BMW 550i,<br />

which would become my daily driver.<br />

<strong>In</strong> three years I have put over 80,000<br />

miles on it! What a terrific experience<br />

the European delivery is. We toured<br />

Germany <strong>and</strong> Austria for over a week.<br />

The autobahn, as many of you know, is<br />

great! Also in 2005, after a number of<br />

years without a Porsche, I began to look<br />

for a suitable replacement. As a result,<br />

I found our current car, the Orange<br />

1974 Carrera Coupe, in Pennsylvania. I<br />

surprised <strong>Sue</strong> with a trip to New York<br />

City for Valentine’s Day <strong>and</strong>, oh by the<br />

way, we were also going to look at a car<br />

near Scranton. The car was everything<br />

I was looking for---it was kept inside<br />

the owner’s house along with another<br />

Porsche. Three other lesser Porsches<br />

were relegated to his garage! The car<br />

was stunning! It was love at first sight;<br />

the deal was made <strong>and</strong> the car was<br />

transported to Southern<br />

California shortly thereafter.<br />

The Carrera is a<br />

matching numbers car with<br />

60,000 original miles <strong>and</strong><br />

one of only 528 that were<br />

imported from Germany.<br />

We immediately rejoined the<br />

PCA <strong>and</strong> have thoroughly<br />

enjoyed not only meeting<br />

so many new friends <strong>and</strong><br />

Porsche enthusiasts, but the<br />

many Orange Coast Region<br />

events that we have been able<br />

to attend. We have enjoyed<br />

showing the car at numerous<br />

<strong>Bob</strong>, <strong>Sue</strong>, Ryan <strong>and</strong> Am<strong>and</strong>a with the<br />

Weissach Coupe at an Orange Coast<br />

Concours in the 1980s.<br />

Region 8 Concours including the 2007<br />

Parade in San Diego <strong>and</strong> also enjoy the<br />

various rallies <strong>and</strong> driving tours that<br />

Arm<strong>and</strong> has set up like Hearst Castle<br />

<strong>and</strong> the recent Monterey Historics cruise<br />

up the coast. The competition is great;<br />

the roads fantastic <strong>and</strong> the commaderie,<br />

priceless!<br />

The experience that <strong>Sue</strong> <strong>and</strong> I have<br />

had over the last 30+ years with our cars<br />

<strong>and</strong> competing in one form or the other,<br />

especially with the six Porsches we have<br />

owned (<strong>Sue</strong>’s favorite of all our cars)<br />

has truly been terrific! We look forward<br />

to many more years of participating<br />

in many activities <strong>and</strong> events with our<br />

friends in the Orange Coast Region.<br />

<strong>Bob</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Sue</strong> with the 1977 Porsche 924<br />

Rice’s Ramblings<br />

Story <strong>and</strong> photos by Lee Rice<br />

Lee Rice showing his 911 at Breakfast Club<br />

Evo-Blue, my 911 of 38 years finished<br />

its 2008-<strong>2009</strong> major update <strong>and</strong> upgrade<br />

with the installation of one of my newly<br />

rebuilt engines. This engine has a bit of<br />

history in my family as it is the engine<br />

I installed in my brother’s 1987 Carrera<br />

back in1995.<br />

This engine (a M30/69) is a 1992<br />

3.3Liter CIS, Jetronic C-2 Turbo engine.<br />

It was installed with all the electrical<br />

<strong>and</strong> emission systems intact <strong>and</strong> fully<br />

operational.<br />

However, we also decided to<br />

enhance the performance by upgrading<br />

to our own version of a Turbo S. What<br />

we did is what any 930 Turbo owner can<br />

do to improve their own street, track, <strong>and</strong><br />

daily driver 930.<br />

Back in 1995 I did the following:<br />

<strong>•</strong> First off I had the crankshaft<br />

checked for cracks, straightness, <strong>and</strong><br />

wear. It was perfect. Then we did a clean<br />

out of all the oil galleys, finally we had<br />

the crank micro polished <strong>and</strong> balanced.<br />

<strong>•</strong> The rods got checked for alignment<br />

(perfect) <strong>and</strong> were then machined to new<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ard specifications <strong>and</strong> also match<br />

balanced. The rods were then installed<br />

with st<strong>and</strong>ard bearings <strong>and</strong> Raceware ®<br />

rod bolts & nuts.<br />

<strong>•</strong> The crankcase was checked for<br />

warping <strong>and</strong> all oil galleys cleaned out<br />

<strong>and</strong> re-sealed. All piston oil ‘squirters’<br />

were replaced with new units (1.5 mm).<br />

<strong>•</strong> Case studs were replaced with<br />

Raceware ® studs, forged washers, <strong>and</strong><br />

12 point nuts.<br />

<strong>•</strong> The Turbo Oil pump was<br />

disassembled to check for wear: (perfect)<br />

<strong>and</strong> reassembled.<br />

<strong>•</strong> Pistons <strong>and</strong> Cylinders for 1992<br />

were upgraded MAHLE ® items. The<br />

fully finned 97mm cylinders did not<br />

have head gasket grooves, but instead<br />

had flat tops for a new stainless steel<br />

flat sealing ring that must be replaced at<br />

every tear-down. It was then coated with<br />

a silicon application. During the last 15<br />

years I have yet to see any flame path<br />

blown through <strong>this</strong> flat ring design, even<br />

when severe misuse of over boost was<br />

known to occur!<br />

<strong>•</strong> I also did replace the Piston<br />

Rings.<br />

Fast forward now to my 2008 rebuild,<br />

I replaced the Pistons <strong>and</strong> Cylinders<br />

with newer MAHLE 98mm fully<br />

finned cylinders <strong>and</strong> 7.4:1 compression<br />

MAHLE pistons <strong>and</strong>, once again, used<br />

the flat stainless head to cylinder rings<br />

This time around the Cylinder<br />

Heads got a good valve job, replacing the<br />

factory valve guides with harder, longer<br />

wearing American made-valve guides. I<br />

then lapped the valves to the seats.<br />

This time however, we made one<br />

major upgrade: we increased intake port<br />

size from 32 mm to 40 mm. <strong>and</strong> replaced<br />

the plastic intake fuel injector intake<br />

stacks with aluminum intake stacks<br />

bored out to 40 mm. You can only bore<br />

the plastic ones safely to 36 mm. We<br />

chose to use 40 mm aluminum intakes<br />

as we were going to change cams <strong>and</strong><br />

exhaust systems for greater breathing<br />

capacity. Along with porting the cylinder<br />

heads we also enlarged the small intake<br />

manifold passages to match the heads<br />

to the new 40 mm stacks. During the<br />

assembly process I used factory work<br />

shop methods to put <strong>this</strong> engine back<br />

together.<br />

[Note that I think the internal<br />

overhaul described above is the st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />

practice method to rebuild <strong>and</strong> upgrade<br />

every 911 engine to insure a safe long<br />

life.]<br />

This time we chose to use 964<br />

camshafts as these give the 930 CIS<br />

engine a bit more push off low rpm than<br />

the SC cams did <strong>and</strong> they also have more<br />

pronounced upper end power compared<br />

to the SC cams. I also added the turbo<br />

scavenge oil pump drive to the left<br />

camshaft. The right side 964 camshaft<br />

has a drive for the hydraulic pump (for<br />

the 1992 C-2) that we didn’t need for the<br />

1987 chassis so the cam drive could have<br />

been cut off. However, we left the pump<br />

drive on the cam.<br />

All the cam drive wheels, gears,<br />

chains, <strong>and</strong> ramps were perfect so they<br />

were reused. <strong>In</strong> 2008 I upgraded the cam<br />

system with Aasco valve springs <strong>and</strong><br />

retainers <strong>and</strong> replaced all rockers, shafts,<br />

adjusters, <strong>and</strong> hardware. As <strong>this</strong> engine<br />

was to be smog tested, we had everything<br />

installed as delivered in 1992.<br />

<strong>In</strong>cluded in <strong>this</strong> system is a unique<br />

ignition system called “EZ-69.” This is<br />

a crank- signaled hybrid unit that mounts<br />

in the engine compartment exactly where<br />

the st<strong>and</strong>ard CDI box used to be located.<br />

The ignition distributor for <strong>this</strong> system<br />

is a CLOCKWISE rotating distributor,<br />

strictly for High Tension current to each<br />

spark plug cable. There is no timing<br />

adjustment provision for the EZ-69.<br />

Timing can be checked by applying<br />

vacuum or no vacuum to the EZ-69 unit<br />

<strong>and</strong> revving the engine to 4,000 rpm <strong>and</strong><br />

at which point you check for 40-degrees<br />

ignition advance. Then you must apply<br />

boost pressure <strong>and</strong> check for 21degrees<br />

advance @ 4,000 rpm. This is a simple<br />

system which works pretty well most of<br />

the time.<br />

However, it does not like any boost<br />

higher than stock as the EZ-69 unit then<br />

goes bad. It is sealed <strong>and</strong> non-repairable<br />

<strong>and</strong> expensive. As <strong>this</strong> was a limited in<br />

use item (1992-1994), it was later found<br />

not worth the trouble <strong>and</strong> expense to use<br />

on the upgraded engine. Some years later<br />

I reverted to using a st<strong>and</strong>ard 1978-1989<br />

CDI box <strong>and</strong> coil system with a specially<br />

fabricated ignition distributor. If I had<br />

known the weakness of the EZ-69<br />

system earlier on, I would have replaced<br />

the crankshaft ignition distributor drive<br />

gear with a C.C.W. (Counter Clock<br />

Wise) distributor gear. Then I could<br />

have simply installed a 1983-1989 Turbo<br />

ignition distributor with idle retard, boost<br />

retard, <strong>and</strong> vacuum advance.<br />

Because of the C.W. rotation of the<br />

C-2 Turbo ignition distributor drive, I<br />

ended up making a special distributor<br />

from three others:<br />

“Amazing! I didn’t think it was possible to make the seats<br />

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

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

disappointed with the way his leather seats looked. They weren’t in bad condition but they<br />

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

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

didn’t <strong>and</strong> neither do you! He called Pioneer Leather Restoration, <strong>In</strong>c. Since his leather<br />

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

finish coating that is found on all upholstery leather. Three hours <strong>and</strong> $295.00** later you see<br />

what his reaction was.<br />

<strong>2009</strong> Orange Coast Region Board Member Elections<br />

Story by Garey Cooper<br />

Your Orange Coast Region (OCR) is in<br />

Zone 8 of the Porsche Club of America<br />

(PCA). <strong>In</strong> PCA there are 13 Zones<br />

in the United States <strong>and</strong> Canada, <strong>and</strong><br />

interestingly there are also 13 Regions<br />

in our Zone 8. Each of the Regions has<br />

a board of leaders who take their role as<br />

volunteers to help organize the Porsche<br />

Club activities in their area. Each Region<br />

has its own bylaws <strong>and</strong>, while most are<br />

very similar, there are some differences.<br />

Our Orange Coast Region has<br />

been around for quite a while as an<br />

independent car club, <strong>and</strong> closing in on<br />

the half century mark as <strong>this</strong> year draws<br />

to a close. During <strong>this</strong> time we’ve been<br />

very fortunate in that, while from time<br />

to time things can get contentious <strong>and</strong><br />

the economy can vary, there have been<br />

people who have been willing to step up<br />

<strong>and</strong> do their part for the enjoyment of<br />

their club. This includes both men <strong>and</strong><br />

women as the club has in the past had<br />

at least two female Presidents for the<br />

region. The only unifying theme among<br />

all of the past <strong>and</strong> present board members<br />

is the desire to play a leading role in the<br />

ongoing running of the OCR.<br />

The OCR Region is usually the<br />

second largest in our Zone; typically San<br />

Diego is the largest. And it can be said we<br />

are one of the most active Regions, not<br />

only in our Zone but in the entire PCA.<br />

Just looking at our Calendar should give<br />

us all a sense of pride in the dedication of<br />

the outgoing Board <strong>Members</strong> <strong>and</strong> give us<br />

pause to wish the c<strong>and</strong>idates coming in<br />

well. After all they are the catalysts that<br />

drive the chemistry of our club forward<br />

year by year. Our club has a total of seven<br />

elected members on the board. They<br />

each serve a two-year staggered term,<br />

with four elected in one year <strong>and</strong> three<br />

the next, so there is always some overlap<br />

to provide continunity in the board. The<br />

other board members who fill roles like<br />

P<strong>and</strong>o editor, membership chairman,<br />

autocross chairman, etc., may or may not<br />

include one of these elected people. The<br />

four officers must be elected, according<br />

to our bylaws.<br />

Each elected member position is<br />

held for two years <strong>and</strong> in a neat piece of<br />

symmetry we have four c<strong>and</strong>idates for<br />

the four open positions that appear for<br />

2010 <strong>and</strong> 2011. The general membership<br />

elects the Board <strong>Members</strong> <strong>and</strong> the<br />

ultimate decision on which person fills<br />

each executive position is decided by the<br />

Board at its monthly meeting following<br />

the election. This is in compliance<br />

with our current bylaws. This does not<br />

preclude anyone voting from expressing<br />

an opinion about any one c<strong>and</strong>idate’s<br />

ability or aptitude for a specific open<br />

position.<br />

The open positions for the new year<br />

are President, Vice President, Treasurer<br />

<strong>and</strong> Secretary. As President Arm<strong>and</strong><br />

Gastelo is stepping down <strong>this</strong> year <strong>and</strong><br />

not running for a new Board Position, Ex<br />

Officio by our bylaws, he becomes Past<br />

President <strong>and</strong> will remain in that capacity<br />

for the next two years. Our current Vice<br />

President, Nicole Boggs is choosing to be<br />

re-elected again <strong>and</strong> she should be familiar<br />

to most of our members for having been<br />

very active in her past two years. We also<br />

have Porsche family members Tom <strong>and</strong><br />

Phyllis Meng who have been respectively<br />

our Secretary <strong>and</strong> Treasurer for the past<br />

two years. They are not running for reelection<br />

in <strong>this</strong> cycle but we certainly<br />

do expect to see them around the club<br />

for some time to come <strong>and</strong> thank them<br />

for their dedication <strong>and</strong> assistance while<br />

performing their functions.<br />

The c<strong>and</strong>idates for the Board <strong>this</strong><br />

year are:<br />

Nicole Boggs. As I mentioned above, our<br />

Ms. Boggs has been a bundle of energy<br />

<strong>and</strong> active in Club affairs over the past<br />

two years as Vice President of the OCR.<br />

Nicole was a <strong>Featured</strong> Member in the<br />

P<strong>and</strong>emonium <strong>this</strong> last year (her husb<strong>and</strong><br />

Cooper is also a part of the picture here).<br />

Eric Budai. Eric was also <strong>Featured</strong><br />

Member <strong>this</strong> year in the P<strong>and</strong>o <strong>and</strong> he <strong>and</strong><br />

his family appeared on the cover of the<br />

September <strong>issue</strong>. Eric has been active in<br />

several areas of club activities, especially<br />

in Autocros. He is a friendly face at many<br />

club events <strong>and</strong> would like to “pay back”<br />

for the fun he has had as an OCR member<br />

by serving on the Board.<br />

David Piper. David is an OCR member<br />

with a passion for the club <strong>and</strong> has been<br />

very interested in helping us move to the<br />

next level. He is interested in a Board<br />

position <strong>and</strong> would like to take up the<br />

interests of his fellow members as their<br />

representative in the operations of the<br />

OCR. He is well versed in the financial<br />

aspects that is necessary to a well-run<br />

volunteer organization.<br />

Gordon Williams. Gordon has been an<br />

OCR member for the past three years <strong>and</strong><br />

has volunteered on occasion to help out<br />

in some club events. He has corporate<br />

multi-national experience in his business<br />

life <strong>and</strong> would like to be a part of the club<br />

going forward at the Board level. Gordon<br />

is volunteering to help lead the club into<br />

its next half century.<br />

The Orange Coast Region needs to<br />

acknowledge the contributions of the<br />

Nominating Committee for <strong>this</strong> year’s<br />

slate of c<strong>and</strong>idates. These people are<br />

Steve Eguina, Fast Freddy Fredrickson<br />

<strong>and</strong> Jerry Muno. Their efforts are<br />

appreciated. They are also working on<br />

filling other non-elected positions on the<br />

board. If you would like to serve, or at<br />

least like more information regarding a<br />

position on the board, please contact one<br />

of these committee members.<br />

To close we should note a rather<br />

unpleasant fact. That is the number of<br />

votes received from the membership at<br />

large is usually relatively small. I think<br />

that many people look at the names of the<br />

c<strong>and</strong>idates <strong>and</strong> knowing them, are quite<br />

happy to vote without returning a ballot,<br />

perhaps by “acquiescence.” While <strong>this</strong><br />

is not a bad thing, it would certainly be<br />

refreshing to see the number of returned<br />

ballots increase <strong>this</strong> year, so don’t forget<br />

to vote it―only takes a moment!<br />

Please return your Ballot by<br />

Rice’s Ramblings (Cont. from pg. 27)<br />

1. A C.W. rotation 3.0L Turbo distributor<br />

housing <strong>and</strong> mechanical advance unit<br />

2. An internal timing plate unit from<br />

a 1978-1982 930 Turbo<br />

3. A 1983-1989 “Dual Vacuum Box”<br />

This involves some detailed shop<br />

work to make everything operate, but<br />

in 12+ years of service, it has worked<br />

perfectly reliably just like a late 1983-<br />

1989 Turbo distributor <strong>and</strong> it makes a big<br />

difference in performance as well.<br />

The CIS Fuel <strong>In</strong>jection unit was<br />

stock for many years <strong>and</strong> worked trouble<br />

free while passing every smog test<br />

with ease. Later, when <strong>this</strong> engine was<br />

owned by a client, it was upgraded to the<br />

European (RoW) 930/66 fuel system as<br />

<strong>this</strong> was reported to make more power. I<br />

didn’t believe it―back then!<br />

But the new owner insisted on <strong>this</strong><br />

upgrade <strong>and</strong> I replaced the emission<br />

friendly aluminum Fuel Distributor with<br />

its matching tiny Fuel Lines, <strong>and</strong> smaller<br />

Fuel Nozzles. I then installed the black<br />

iron RoW Fuel Distributor, larger Fuel<br />

Lines, <strong>and</strong> larger Fuel nozzles. Was I<br />

amazed at the throttle response! It had<br />

more. It was noticeably more powerful<br />

than before! The stock C-2 Turbo AIS<br />

(Air <strong>In</strong>jection System) <strong>and</strong> Cat was used<br />

<strong>and</strong> never failed to pass smog.<br />

Let me tell you how good <strong>this</strong> system<br />

is. Next time.<br />

Godspeed.<br />

Cleaning Your Engine (Cont. from pg. 14)<br />

Paper towel does not work that great on<br />

<strong>this</strong> part of the engine except to mop up<br />

the excess cleaner. Do not try to rub the<br />

paper towel as it will shred <strong>and</strong> become<br />

a big mess. Use an old towel or H<strong>and</strong>y<br />

Wipe or Microfiber towel that you can<br />

dip in a bucket to rinse <strong>and</strong> use again.<br />

Make sure you get under the motor<br />

mounts <strong>and</strong> way in the back. The area<br />

under the oil filler is a perfect hotel for<br />

grease <strong>and</strong> dirt―kicked up from the fan.<br />

Another area that gets forgotten is under<br />

you deck lid. This can get an oily film<br />

on it from the engine as heat, water, dirt<br />

<strong>and</strong> other materials are mixed together<br />

<strong>and</strong> then rise up to rest under the deck<br />

lid. Once you have gone over the painted<br />

surfaces, go over them again. The second<br />

pass will clean up any old debris that was<br />

not picked up the first time <strong>and</strong> you will<br />

be surprised how much cleaner it will<br />

look. If any paint flaked off, <strong>this</strong> would<br />

be a good time to touch up the paint.<br />

The area is clean of dirt <strong>and</strong> grease so<br />

the paint will adhere to the surface much<br />

better <strong>and</strong> will not flake off the next time<br />

you clean it.<br />

You noticed I did not say to use WD-<br />

40. I do not use the WD-40 on these areas<br />

because the rough surface traps more<br />

WD-40 than I am able to clean up. If you<br />

have nothing to lose <strong>and</strong> the surface is a<br />

mess, give the WD-40 a shot. Just make<br />

sure you use the soapy cleaners to clean it<br />

all up. WD-40 has petroleum base, which<br />

could keep new paint from adhering <strong>and</strong><br />

attract more dirt in the long run.<br />

Next time we’ll talk about cleaning<br />

the fan <strong>and</strong> fan shroud area. The fan is<br />

an area that needs constant attention <strong>and</strong><br />

I will cover some of the moving parts<br />

around the fan shroud as part of <strong>this</strong><br />

article.<br />

questions, I can be reached at bev@<br />

Editor’s Notes (Cont. from pg. 7)<br />

Autocross<br />

By the time you are reading <strong>this</strong> column<br />

we will still have three autocross events<br />

left in <strong>2009</strong>. These are on <strong>October</strong> 11,<br />

November 8, <strong>and</strong> December 6. Many<br />

club members are concerned about<br />

running their cars in so called “speed”<br />

events, but there is little to go wrong in<br />

an autocross. <strong>In</strong> fact your Porsche was<br />

made for day-in <strong>and</strong> day-out running <strong>and</strong><br />

is probably the most in its element on the<br />

autocross track. Some people also worry<br />

about their competitiveness at a driving<br />

event, but there is just as much fun to be<br />

had finishing in less than first place (I<br />

should know). There are even instructors<br />

on h<strong>and</strong> at EVERY autocross to help<br />

first-timers, so you don’t have to wait for<br />

our annual Training Wheels event to get<br />

an initial indoctrination to the track side<br />

personality of your Porsche.<br />

Party Time<br />

Make room in your calendar for the<br />

annual Christmas Party, although I think<br />

we’re supposed to call it the Holiday<br />

Party in the modern era. The venue is as<br />

of yet not set but <strong>this</strong> year it is supposed<br />

to be happening on the 4th of December.<br />

This party is always a fun one <strong>and</strong> there<br />

is usually a pretty nice set of items to<br />

be bid on during the silent auction. (I<br />

confess to speaking out loud during<br />

these). Pay attention to the OCR web site<br />

as well, because Nicole Cooper Boggs is<br />

trying to put together a Halloween party<br />

<strong>this</strong> year which we may not have time to<br />

fully publicize.<br />

Vote Early And Vote Often<br />

Elsewhere in the magazine you’ll see a<br />

slate of c<strong>and</strong>idates for your OCR Board<br />

for next year. It is depressingly true that<br />

typically we attract few voters who take<br />

the time to return their ballots. It would<br />

be nice to see <strong>this</strong> year be a little different<br />

<strong>and</strong> garner a larger return. Besides a key<br />

to the OCR Sauna (I hope they fix the<br />

thermostat), your representatives make<br />

up the core that provides the ideas <strong>and</strong><br />

staffing of our major events. They deserve<br />

your support, so after the vote a nice little<br />

pat on the back is also good for morale,<br />

but be careful they may still have some<br />

minor steam burns!<br />

Oh Darn<br />

Last month’s column omitted to actually<br />

name a major new OCR sponsor! <strong>In</strong> my<br />

mention of the Trip to Italy set up by<br />

our President, Arm<strong>and</strong> Gastelo, I said<br />

we left from a sponsor’s location but I<br />

didn’t name them; it was Auto Collusion<br />

Centers in Anaheim. I am sorry for the<br />

omission!<br />

At Last And Least<br />

Don’t forget our monthly Breakfast<br />

meetings at Original Mike’s in Santa Ana<br />

on the first Saturday, <strong>and</strong> our informal<br />

get together at Krispi Kreme on the 3rd<br />

Saturday. These are lots of fun <strong>and</strong> the<br />

only chance you may get in an entire<br />

month to see 80 or so Porsches in one<br />

location. If you do come by, make sure to<br />

look me up <strong>and</strong> say “Howdy!” I hope to<br />

see you there.<br />
