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 />

points, so expect <strong>this</strong> one to go down<br />
to the wire. Brian Vaniman <strong>and</strong> Hideki<br />
Nakano may also step up <strong>and</strong> are still<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 />

(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 />

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 />

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 />
