President’s Message 

Auf Wiedersehen! 

By Chris Duva 

have known that I would be writing this 

I particular message for more than two 

years. You would think that I would have 

already fi gured out what I wanted to say; 

that I would have come up with some nice, 

neat way to wrap up a holiday package 

of treasures to represent the events and 

happenings which have been my good 

fortune to experience and share during 

my tenure as OCR president. I haven’t 

fi gured it out just yet. But I am confident 

that I will. I have even set aside a space 

for the package. It will be right next to 

the stall that I made for the unicorn that I 

am still looking for! In all seriousness, the 

OCR experience knows no bounds–and 

that is a very, very good thing! 

The onset of my membership in 2001 

began a new and precious chapter in 

my life story, foretold, oddly enough, 

by my introduction to Ken and Grace 

Fredrickson in the late eighties when we 

were all responsible for young children, 

and I was (I can’t say it) a mini-van owner. 

It would have been utterly impossible to 

have predicted the depth and breadth of 

the passion that PCA members have for 

their marque, and for life itself. It would 

be cliché to say that I could write a book 

just about the people that I have met. 

The truth is that the tome would more 

closely resemble an encyclopedia! 

I can’t remember spending very much 

time on the proverbial sidelines of OCR, 

and for that, I could not be happier. The 

game to which I will liken our club is a 

great one. Best of all, you don’t have to 

wait for the coach to put you in. All are 

welcome, and encouraged, to come 

down out of the stands and take a 

position on the fi eld. Yes, the people of 

OCR are that good! 

Less than a year after joining OCR, I 

found myself writing the story of my 

journey to Porsche ownership. I don’t 

even remember buying a ticket. On 

the other hand, I can’t account for the 

whereabouts of a certain “Fast Freddy” 

at the time in question either. The last 

thing that one would expect when writing 

one’s own story is a surprise ending. 

Yet, there it was—between the start and 

the fi nish of composing my Featured 

Member article, an event would occur 

that I have celebrated on each and every 

day since. I would begin my relationship 

with Margaret. By the way, you should 

have seen the look on Kenny’s face 

the fi rst time Margaret pulled into the 

Fredrickson driveway while Kenny and I 

were tossing down a few cold ones. I’ll 

let her tell the rest of the story. 

It is a tremendous privilege to be an 

active participant on the OCR Board of 

Directors. It is an opportunity that should 

not be missed by any member. Our 

Board is the true embodiment of great 

talent and wholehearted dedication. IBM 

did a wonderful thing when they were 

able to encapsulate their philosophy 

and culture into the single iconic word, 

“Think”. OCR has realized a similar 

accomplishment. Our primary guiding 

principle is, “Fun”. The ink wasn’t even 

dry on my membership card when I 

began to attend OCR board meetings. To 

their great credit, the OCR Boards have 

always been able to respect their guiding 

tenet; and they have always been able 

to express and resolve disparate and 

passionate opinions and directions with 

respect and courtesy while directing one 

of the most dynamic Porsche Club of 

America regions in the United States. I 

offer my congratulations to all of the Board 

members, the Board appointees, and the 

innumerable members with whom I have 

had the privilege to work and play in 2006 

and 2007. This experience has changed 

who I am, for the better, forever. 

As you read this, a new Board of Directors 

will have been elected. They will begin to 

bring their own special talents and vision 

to bear on the direction of our region 

in 2008. OCR held its 2008 planning 

meeting in October, and it is with great 

pride that I can say that I have never seen 

as many wonderful activities as have 

been scheduled for the coming year. You 

might consider the purchase of a few 

extra lottery tickets, as that job of yours 

could prove to be a serious distraction 

from your OCR play time. Prepare to 

welcome the 2008 Orange Coast Region 

Board of Directors, and start picking out 

your position on the fi eld. In this game, 

everybody plays! 

My other inspiration, aside from Porsches!

Story & photos by Michael Dennis 

If you recognize that expression, 

you’ve either been to a German soccer 

match or visited an Oktoberfest. On 

Saturday, October 13, 2007, 37 PCA- 

OCR members in 19 cars traveled from 

“The OC” to Lake Arrowhead Village 

and Big Bear Lake for their respective 

“Oktoberfestivities.” A half-dozen people 

were Oktoberfest alumni and for some, 

this would be their fi rst club tour. 

Our drive up included some nice “curves!” 

We left The Block in Orange at 10 a.m. 

and arrived at the base of the mountain 

at 11 a.m. for a rest stop. Although we 

had rain at the start of our trip, it soon 

dissipated. As we drove up the mountain 

we encountered cloudy skies and 

patches of fog, but our fi rst destination 

featured clear skies and sunshine when 

we arrived at noon. And, thanks to 

Armand Gastelo who originally planned 

the tour but was subsequently unable to 

lead it, we had our own reserved parking 

area. 

Lake Arrowhead Village features over 

50 stores and restaurants as well 

as Southern California’s only free 

Oktoberfest. We feasted on traditional 

Oktoberfest fare for lunch including 

bratwurst, knockwurst, sauerkraut and 

German beer. Afterwards, there was time 

to stroll along the lakeside and shop. 

My fi rst purchase was at Big Dog 

Sportswear that is known for their 

humorous t-shirts. I couldn’t resist buying 

a t-shirt for myself that reads “It’s better 

to have loved and lost, than to live with 

a psycho the rest of your life.” And, for 

my brother-in-law, I purchased one that 

reads, “I wish my wife would give me the 

silent treatment.” For more information 

about Lake Arrowhead Village, check out 

www.LakeArrowheadVillage.com. 

At 2 p.m. we regrouped and continued 

our drive to Big Bear Lake and the 

Northwoods Resort and Conference 

Center. Our “Burgermeister Party Pack” 

rate of $169 included our Saturday night 

lodging plus admission into Oktoberfest, 

a commemorative Oktoberfest beer 

stein, a German meal complete with 

all the trimmings, a German beer or 

beverage of your choice and a set of 

Oktoberfest party beads. For details, see 

www.NorthwoodsResort.com. 

Soon after checking into the hotel, 

Michael Reissmueller, Kevin Landry, 

and Zoli Csik headed to the Big Bear 

Convention Center to reserve seats for 

our group. An hour later, Vikki Petersen 

and I arrived along with Don Zimmerman 

(my neighbor and friend who was the 

impetus for me to get my fi rst Porsche), 

Ted and Toshiko Hisada, and Yoshie 

Aguler. Buzzy and Debbie Klevens 

led the rest of the group including Bob 

and Irene Almeida, Barbara Csik, 

Tracey and Jim Cunningham, Ron 

and Roberta Dean, Mark and Dianne 

Doyle, C.L. Jarusek, Karen and Ron 

Jensen, Holly and Boris Jocoy, Ginny 

Landry, Shelley Reissmueller, Gerard 

and Nathaniel Rodriguez, Christy and 

Kirk Shafer, Jim and Sherry Spitzer, 

Mike Steinke and Shellie Parker, and 

Lee and Eddie Willhite. 

Since our scheduled trolley didn’t show 

up, the group resorted to Plan B, which 

was to take the city bus from the hotel 

to the convention center. Unfortunately, 

the four-mile trip from the hotel to the 

convention center took about 30 minutes, 

since it included a free scenic city tour. 

It was a beautiful weekend for a paddle boat 

ride. 

The Big Bear Convention Center is home 

to one of the most authentic Oktoberfest 

celebrations in the United States with 

German beer, bratwursts, sauerkraut and 

apple strudel actually made by German 

beer makers, butchers and bakers! In 

fact, this is their 37th Annual Oktoberfest 

and it is reportedly the number one 

Oktoberfest in Southern California, and 

eighth-best Oktoberfest in the nation. 

Traditional festivities included the logsawing 

contest, stein-holding contest, 

beer-drinking contest and performances 

by a variety of authentic dance groups. 

The Budenstrasse offered a variety of 

arts and craft exhibitors and the highest 

6

elevation beer garden in the United 

States. Naturally, the staff and band 

wore traditional German attire; and, of 

the attendees many men (young and 

old) wore lederhosen and many women 

wore dirndls. 

The band, swingin’ in their lederhosen. 

It was a full house, but again, thanks to 

Michael, Kevin and Zoli who secured a 

table outside along with a heater, our 

group was cozy all night while we all 

conversed, drank beer, savored shots 

of Jagermeister and smoked cigars. 

And, of course, Vikki and I got in touch 

with our German heritage and danced to 

what Americans refer to as “The Chicken 

Dance.” In Germany, it’s actually called 

“Der Ente Tanz” and literally translates to 

“The Duck Dance.” I guess something got 

lost in the translation. The band played 

German polkas, a German version of “The 

Bunny Hop,” some classic rock including 

Lynyrd Skynyrd’s classic “Sweet Home 

Alabama” and even some disco hits by 

KC and The Sunshine Band. Afterwards, 

a group of us took the complimentary 

O’Douls shuttle back to our hotel for a 

nightcap at the hotel’s lounge, Stillwell’s. 

The next morning some of us had 

breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant and 

enjoyed Chocolate Chip Pancakes and 

Breakfast Quesadillas. The hotel also 

offers a Sunday Champagne Brunch 

with Prime Rib as well as everyone’s 

favorite cholesterol-booster, Biscuits and 

Gravy. Most of our group checked out 

early Sunday morning to drive down the 

mountain, but after breakfast I headed to 

the Moonridge Animal Park. 

At 7,125 feet above sea level, the 

Moonridge Animal Park is distinguished 

as the only zoological facility in the 

United States located in an alpine/ 

sub-alpine environment, dedicated 

to the preservation of primarily alpine 

and sub-alpine species. Primarily 

a zoological facility with 150 birds 

and animals representing about 85 

species, the Moonridge Animal Park 

also is a fully licensed designated care 

and rehabilitation facility for injured or 

confi scated animals. Annually, at least 200 

injured wild birds and animals are treated 

there. And, over the years, thousands 

of injured, orphaned, or behaviorally 

handicapped wildlife have come to 

Moonridge Animal Park; the majority are 

rehabilitated and successfully released 

to the wild. For more information visit 

www.moonridgezoo.org. 

One of the many magnificent animals at the 

animal park. 

If you won’t be one of the more than 

six million people to travel to Munich 

(Bavaria, Germany) next year for the 

universe’s offi cial 16-day Oktoberfest, 

Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake both 

offer authentic Oktoberfest activities, 

shopping and dining for a terrifi c daytrip 

or weekend getaway with some fun 

driving roads.

PORSCHE 

PORSCHE 


The Porsche Bug 

Story & photos by Eric Conard 

My wife Michelle and I are relatively 

new Porsche owners, but probably 

similar to most who’ve been featured 

members in Pandemonium, we’ve both 

been fond of Porsches from a young 

age. I’ve had a fascination of anything 

with an engine, and primarily with cars, 

since I can remember. Sports cars have 

always been particularly mesmerizing. 

To me, the only thing that comes close to 

the sports car allure is my passion for the 

ocean, but that’s another story. 

I think my mother recognized early on 

that I had the car bug when she saw me 

parallel parking my peddle-car near the 

side of the garage. Even though I think 

I was born with the car bug, there were 

various infl uences early on in my life that 

only incubated it—one of which was my 

fi rst Porsche ride at the age of about four 

or fi ve in an early ‘60s 356 that a friend 

of my dad’s bought while stationed in 

Germany. I recall being amazed how it 

seemed to handle like it was on rails— 

like a ride at Disneyland! And boy, did it 

sound great, even though I really didn’t 

have any basis for comparison at that 

age. 

Racing at Willow Springs. 

Another of my dad’s work buddies had 

an old Triumph TR3, except I mostly 

remember that car being parked in a 

garage…I’d learn later which cars were 

more prone to this behavior. Another 

of his colleagues had a brother who 

raced Indy cars and he always gave me 

autographed pictures. His name was Art 

Pollard and unfortunately I never did get 

to see him race, as he was killed during 

practice at Indianapolis on May 12, 1973. 

I still have his pictures. 

My first “sports car,” the 240Z. 

My engine fascination grew faster than 

I did—fi rst in models (Cox engines in 

cars, boats, and planes), to “borrowing” 

the lawn mower engine to power crude 

mini-bikes and go-karts. Then came dirt 

bikes at the age of 10. An advantage 

to riding bikes in the desert was that it 

provided me an opportunity at the ripe 

old age of about 12 to drive the family 

car on a dry lakebed (just steering, mind 

you). This was great since there was no 

one around and you really couldn’t mess 

things up. 

As the legal age of driving approached, 

most of my friends had older brothers 

with typical and sometimes not-sotypical 

American muscle cars, and 

Orange County International Raceway 

was a short hop down the freeway. You 

could usually “run-what-you-brung” on 

Wednesdays and Saturdays and it made 

for some good stories. I ended up trying 

to drag race everything I could get my 

hands on, and that became a standard 

by which I judged my vehicles. 

The fi rst car I actually owned was a 

1968 Mustang that my dad bought new. 

I remember the day he brought it home. 

My dad eventually sold it to my sister in 

pristine condition, and about three years 

later she in turn sold it to me—for a 

substantial profi t, with quite a few more 

miles, and in no where near the condition 

she bought it. Such is life. It had a 289 

V8 and I remember running a 16:69 ET 

in the quarter-mile at about 107 mph. 

I didn’t think this was too bad for an 

engine with a two-barrel carburetor. Boy, 

how technology changes! 

The liberation of youth that comes with 

a driver’s license enabled me and my 

friends to start hanging out at Riverside 

Raceway. We would go watch anything— 

bikes, cars, it didn’t matter. And while the 

straight-line thrill was fun, I really enjoyed 

turning, and I almost immediately ditched 

the big rear tires and air-shocks my sister 

put on the car for some BF Goodrich 

Radial TAs. Then came the learning 

process on suspension and what makes 

a car handle well—the lesson learned 

was that old Mustangs don’t. 

A frequent detail customer of mine. 

At this point, the early infl uences of my 

life resurfaced and I wanted something 


that handled better. I still had the dirt 

bikes, and they of course led to the desire 

for street bikes, as I fi gured my quickest 

(read: affordable) path to something that 

handled better was going to be on two 

wheels. My parents had no intention of 

signing off on the M1 endorsement for 

my driver’s license, but my argument 

was that I was going to get it once I 

turned 18 anyway! 

My persistence eventually paid off 

prior to my turning 18 in the form of a 

compromise—I convinced them to let 

me buy a “project” 1973 Kawasaki Triple 

350. It didn’t run and the engine (read: 

parts) was literally in a milk crate. The 

deal was that I wouldn’t ride it—I would 

just fi x it up and sell it for a profi t. Right. 

Turns out I ended up selling it for about 

what I put into it, not counting labor. I 

worked on all my vehicles then because 

I enjoyed it, but mostly because it was 

a necessity, since it was cheaper than 

having them repaired. This included 

rebuilding engines, transmissions and 

doing occasional body work. 

One particularly amusing repair event 

occurred when a friend with an MG was 

in the neighborhood and developed a 

signifi cant rod knock. The poor guy knew 

nothing about cars and had very little 

money. Given his circumstances, one 

might ask why he bought an MG in the 

fi rst place…anyhow, luckily for him he 

was by our house when it started to die 

and we had nothing planned that Sunday 

afternoon. His misfortune allowed us to 

try to myth-bust an old story we heard 

about—using belt leather as a main 

bearing. Suffi ce it to say that it worked 

like a charm and off he went, probably to 

the closest dealer to trade it in! 

With Michelle at the Paris Auto Show. 

pick up the cars once the owners got to 

know us. One particular owner wanted 

some pictures of his cars and said we 

could take it by O’Neil Park for some 

good shots. I then realized that trying to 

cure the car bug with adrenaline doesn’t 

work—it only fuels it. It also ended up 

being another one of those life lessons 

where the proper motivation (i.e., 

exposure to nice things) will drive one to 

excel so they might attain nice things on 

their own. My parents employed this little 

trick on occasion while raising me, and I 

hope to use it one day on my kids. 

No right turns: California Speedway. 

My fi rst “sports car” was a 1971 Datsun 

240Z which I thoroughly enjoyed. I ended 

up pulling the transmission out so many 

times I got to the point where I could 

remove it in 14 minutes fl at, without air 

tools. It was a learning experience that 

taught me some valuable lessons, one 

of which was that it was easier to work 

on things if you had the right tools. I later 

rationalized that you should have the 

right tool for the job or present conditions, 

which I still use to this day to explain why 

one should always have more than one 

vehicle! I don’t do nearly the work on 

vehicles today due to the complexity of 

technology. But don’t get me wrong, I’m a 

huge fan of technology—especially when 

I think about adjusting distributor points 

and synchronizing multiple carburetors. 

The first of two Skip Barber classes at Laguna 

Seca. 

Toward the end of high school and prior 

to college, after a variety of jobs driving 

fork lifts and working at a car dealer, I 

began to detail cars with a friend. This 

not only provided a few bucks and 

allowed us to be our own bosses, but it 

also allowed me to broaden my exposure 

to more cars. Most people didn’t call it 

“detailing” back then, but those who did 

typically had nice cars. We focused on 

Ferraris and Porsches and would usually 

My desire to get on a track and the 

budget constraints of being a student 

ended up with me getting a Yamaha 500 

with a V4 two-stroke engine so I could 

spend time racing at Willow Springs. 

That was more fun that I have space to 

right about. However, I must have been 

getting older, as my sense of mortality 

and responsibility was kicking in and I 

wanted to get through school and start 

making a better living. Besides, spending 

weekends racing and buying tires didn’t 

leave much of a budget for food while at 

school. 

Playing with our Cayman S at one of the club’s Autocross events at El Toro Fields.

Fast-forward through about 17 

motorcycles, 13 cars and a number of 

years, and I met the woman (Michelle) 

who would ultimately become my wife. 

I knew this for sure for a variety of 

reasons, but one of which was when we 

were fi rst going out and she wanted to 

go to Monterey for her birthday. Not just 

to Monterey, but to the World Superbike 

Races at Laguna Seca. My search was 

over. We did some traveling while dating 

and went to the Paris Auto Show in 2000. 

It was a huge show that was spread out 

over seven buildings. I’d never known 

anyone who was as willing to go through 

all the buildings and spend as much time 

at a car show as me! I also found out that 

when she was growing up, her favorite 

car was a Porsche 928, and she always 

wanted a Turbo. My fate was sealed. 

Now comes August of 2005 and we’d 

read about the “new” mid-engine 

Cayman S that Porsche was coming out 

with. I’d driven various Porsches in the 

past, but had never owned one. This new 

model seemed like winner. With quite a 

bit of research and very little discussion, 

we decided this would be a good fi rst 

choice and placed our deposit. Our car 

arrived in late January of 2006. The 

entire experience of ordering the options 

and taking delivery was exciting and 

the car has certainly not disappointed. 

After logging a quick 2,000 miles on the 

odometer, I went back to Willow Springs 

to see what the track was like with four 

wheels instead of two. While I didn’t beat 

my personal best time on a bike, I did 

have fun with a few 911s. 

We then fi gured we’d like to be part of 

the PCA and jumped right in (Michelle 

more so than me). Since then, we’ve 

met many great people and attended 

numerous events. It’s amazing how 

anything Porsche will usually bring 

a smile to the faces around you and 

seemingly transmit that aforementioned 

car bug to the unsuspecting. We’ve 

witnessed this within our own family 

when my brother’s wife was on the verge 

of buying a new car. They had planned 

on getting a different German marque 

when we “convinced” her to take our car 

for a little drive. Long story short, she 

went straight to the dealer and asked 

for her deposit back and then bought 

her own Cayman. Shortly thereafter, my 

brother sold his car and bought a 1996 

993. They are now an all-Porsche family 

and they’ve since joined the PCA in the 

Santa Barbara region. 

As far as the future goes, we’ll happily 

endure this car bug, and our Cayman S 

will be the fi rst of many Porsches. Maybe 

it’s time to start looking for Michelle’s 

Turbo, partly because we’d like to have 

the extra room of a back seat for future 

little Porsche owners… 


OCR Ladies Group 

Kick-Off Meeting 

By Kari Knudson 

Photo by Judy Lech 

Good food, a spacious home and 

friendly faces made the setting 

perfect for the fi rst-ever PCA-OCR 

Ladies Meeting. Seventeen women club 

members met on Wednesday evening, 

October 10 to get acquainted and 

discuss planning club activities in 2008, 

specifi cally targeted for our women 

members. 

Susan Fothergill graciously donated 

her home in Huntington Beach for the 

meeting. As everyone began arriving and 

Porsches started lining the streets, it was 

apparent that the women of OCR were 

genuinely interested in fi nding out more 

about the ladies group. The food was 

delicious—and judging by the bounty, 

it was certain that no one would leave 

hungry! Everyone had some time to walk 

around and mingle and it was great to 

meet other women club members for the 

fi rst time. 

After nibbling and mingling, the ladies 

were called into the living room and the 

meeting began. Grace Fredrickson and 

Kari Knudson introduced themselves and 

Attendees of the club’s first ladies meeting. 

explained the purpose of the meeting: 

To establish a ladies group within 

PCA-OCR with the purpose of building 

camaraderie among women members 

and encouraging more participation by 

women in Porsche Club events. 

Seated in a circle in the living room, all of 

the ladies took turns with introductions. 

Each said something about themselves, 

the Porsche Club and what they would 

like to get out of the ladies group. It was 

fascinating to hear some of the personal 

stories, ideas and comments. There 

was even had a surprise guest from a 

Florida Corvette Club! She added some 

valuable insight and suggestions to the 

group, which everyone appreciated. 

During the open discussion, the women 

gave suggestions on possible activities 

for next year and discussed the idea of 

having a welcoming committee for new 

women members. The suggested ideas 

were posted on a board and each woman 

voted for two activities. Some of the most 

popular suggestions were: a “Cars 101” 

class, a Spa Day, a Women’s Driving 

Class, a Car Detailing 

Class and a Brunch day. 

Some of the activities 

require an offi cial calendar 

date and approval from the 

Board, while other activities 

are more casual in nature. 

Grace Fredrickson agreed 

to take the suggestions to 

the Board for discussion 

and to get some activities 

on the calendar for 2008. 

As a result, four tentative 

dates and activities were 

scheduled. Below are 

the dates that have been 

reserved with the proposed 

events, including some additional 

comments regarding the activities. 

Looks like the ladies group is off already 

to a good start! Many thanks to all that 

participated in making the ladies group 

kickoff meeting a success. 

Saturday February 9, 2008 

Group Tour to Pala Casino. Armand 

Gastelo is planning this event. He 

suggested that we might like to combine 

this with our Spa Day. This could be an 

overnighter. 

Saturday February 23, 2008 

Ladies “Car 101” Class. Dave Vadman 

is going to look into possibly having this 

at Newport Auto Center in their shop. 

They have a lot of Porsches up on racks. 

We will probably get some of the OCR 

men to teach us. (Any volunteers?) 

Saturday May 20, 2008 

Ladies Car Detailing Clinic. To be 

conducted by Nicole Boggs and her 

husband Cooper. They have a detailing 

business and we would have it at their 

facility. Nicole was at the planning 

meeting and we picked this date as it 

is three weeks before our White Gloves 

Concours. 

Saturday November 15, 2008 

Ladies Tour. The destination will be up 

to the ladies.

OCR ladies group, feel free to contact

Autocross: Just Do It! 

Story & photo by Lisa Goetsch 

The Orange Coast Region’s 

Autocross program has enjoyed 

an unprecedented year of growth, so 

much so that we’ve actually had to limit 

attendance at our Autocross events. 

Virtually every event this calendar year 

has been sold out and we’ve had to turn 

away many drivers who would love a 

chance to participate. OCR members get 

precedence and Porsche-driving nonmembers 

are always accommodated. 

Driving in an Autocross is so much fun 

that it should probably be illegal (knock on 

wood). It’s a blood-pumping, adrenalinpushing 

experience, and from my own 

personal perspective, you’d never guess 

it by watching. 

Remember your fi rst airplane trip, and 

how it felt hurtling down the runway just 

before wheels up? Remember when you 

were in high school and your heart would 

beat a little faster whenever you heard 

(or saw) a really beefy muscle car start 

up? You could feel the engine rumbling 

inside your chest as you admired the 

smooth, clean lines, or the refl ection in 

the freshly waxed paint. Well, none of 

that is like Autocross. 

Just kidding. Maybe Autocross is kind 

of a misnomer. After all, these are 

Porsches, not “autos.” As for the “cross” 

part of the word, well, I guess I do get a 

little cranky when I have to get up early 

on a weekend to participate. 

But those who Autocross know how much 

fun it is. Those who have never done it 

have no idea what they’re missing. It’s 

even rather boring to watch. From the 

outside, it even looks a little goofy. Grown 

men (mostly) and the women who humor 

them, driving cars in a giant parking lot 

(or a giant runway like El Toro), steering 

around orange cones arranged in a track. 

Wow! We take turns, some of us drive 

while some of us stand around near the 

cones and pick them up when they get 

knocked over. Whoopie! 

But when you’re driving…well, driving 

is altogether different. You’re in the 

driver’s seat and you’re snugly strapped 

in, helmet on your head and a real 

enthusiast at your side, ready to coach 

you. You’re feeling the car respond 

to your smooth, deliberate input, and 

through the easier parts of the course 

you fi nd yourself grinning, enjoying the 

feel of the car gliding around the cones. 

As the course winds around to some 

more technically demanding areas, 

you fi nd yourself grinning even harder, 

maybe even laughing as you feel the 

car trying so hard to meet your demands 

and the tires are complaining that you 

haven’t even learned the fi rst thing about 

tires yet…but you will. 

Then it’s over—just one lap and you will 

have about 12 – 15 laps or so over the 

course of the day. Gee whiz—doesn’t 

sound like much. Then the whole day 

is suddenly over and you find yourself 

mumbling, “If I had two more laps I could 

have nailed that course!” And that, my 

friends, is the beginning of the slippery 

slope that we all love so much called 

Autocross. 

Once you’ve done it, the intimidation 

factor is gone. Especially once you’ve 

run at El Toro—there are no barriers, 

no walls, and no rocks, nothing to run 

into. Just miles and miles of runway. 

The courses are always very carefully 

laid out, especially with an eye towards 

safety. We make sure that everyone who 

drives can have a great day playing with 

these exquisite toys we call Porsches. 

You really ought to try it. 

First of all, it’s only a competition to the 

extent you’d like it to be. Sure, there are 

always a few die-hards trying to shave 

off a tenth of a second to beat three 

others in their class. But there are also 

many drivers who come just for the sheer 

enjoyment of it. It may look slow, but 

behind the wheel, you experience a little 

G-force now and then, not to mention the 

adrenaline that seems to fl ow freely just 

by pulling up to the starter flag. In fact, I 

have to remind myself at times that there 

is no money at stake, just a few bragging 

rights, which is more than enough to 

keep most of us going! 

Safety is our most important goal, and 

no one drives the course alone the first 

few times. Most of our more experienced 

drivers volunteer to be instructors, 

and we pair the new students with 

an instructor for the whole day. The 

instructor and the student each drive 

their own cars and ride in each others’ 

car. This way a student can get a firsthand 

look at how these cars can handle 

with an experienced driver at the wheel. 

The instructor can observe the student 

driving and give real-time feedback to 

the student. 

When a driver makes a mistake–and 

we all do eventually–it’s never quite 

as embarrassing as you think it will be 

at fi rst. In fact, especially after a spin, 

you’re sure that everyone not only saw 

it, but is secretly laughing at you and 

your obvious lack of skill. After a little 


experience, you realize that everyone is 

focused on so many other things that no 

one even notices. Soon you realize that 

if you don’t lose control a little now and 

then, you’re not really pushing to learn 

the limits of the car. 

Instructors are not required after three 

or four Autocrosses, but they are always 

available for those who prefer them. 

Frequently, experienced drivers will ask 

other drivers to ride along for a few laps. 

Everyone benefi ts from each others’ 

knowledge. Each course is different, and 

there are many ways to improve your 

skills as well as your enjoyment of the 

day. 

When my husband got us involved in 

Autocross, we shared a car, and he 

encouraged our son Kris, a long-time 

Porsche fan, to join us. As car-sharers, 

we used to be in the minority. At our 

November event we had 13 cars shared 

by 28 drivers. 

Steve Eguina, this year’s Autocross 

Chair, has held together the program 

when there was little interest and even 

less budget. But, since the fi rst of this 

year, we’ve had to turn away people at 

every event because we’re completely 

full. 110 drivers are about the most we 

can effectively run in a day, and for 10 

months this year we’ve done just that. 

Steve gets a little help from the rest of 

us, but he’s the “can do” guy, and I think 

it’s his love of the sport and his unending 

commitment to it that somehow makes 

us all want to work hard for free. 

Tips and tricks for Autocross 

registration 

Now that you’re motivated to give 

Autocross a try (we hope!), here are a few 

registration tips to keep in mind. We have 

an online registration system accessed 

through links on our PCAOCR.org 

website—be sure to click on “Autocross 

Information” from the homepage. 

Once you’re in the system, your individual 

ID record appears. No further action can 

be taken until you fi rst select an event 

date, which appears directly below your 

name. When you complete this form, you 

are completing the form for that specifi c 

event that you have chosen. 

Car sharing. If you will be sharing a car, 

identify yourself as such. Simply register 

the fi rst person normally (We’ll call him 

“Joe”), then register the second person 

(we’ll call her “Josie”). Josie selects the 

“co-driver” button. This will generate 

a drop-down list, showing all drivers 

presently registered. Find Joe’s name on 

this list and select it as the “primary” driver. 

All done! It really makes no difference 

which driver is primary or secondary. It is 

only used to separate you into different 

run groups so that each driver will still 

get a full day of driving despite sharing a 

car. More than two people sharing a car 

gets a little tricky, but it can be done. 

Check the boxes that apply. Four 

questions appear, and these are fairly 

straight forward. Answering these each 

time for each event helps us match up 

students with instructors. Every hour we 

spend ahead of time preparing for the 

event pays off for you in an organized, 

fun Autocross. By the way, if you’ve 

driven several Autocrosses and liked it, 

you should consider buying your own 

helmet. We have reps attend the events 

frequently to provide this service. 

Make sure your email address is upto-date 

on your registration form. This 

is how we communicate with you about 

your registration. Please update it if it is 

not correct. 

If you have any special needs, please 

let us know via email. We have one 

couple who love to Autocross and they 

don’t share a car–they share a toddler! 

We can usually find a way to make 

adjustments to accommodate you if 

we’re aware of any special issues. 

We hope that you’ll put your inhibitions 

aside for a day and come out to an 

Autocross event, even if just to watch for 

the fi rst time. You’ll see lots of other cars 

having fun with their owners, and you’ll 

have to work hard not to make some new 

friends. And your Porsche will be glad 

that you did!

Rice’s Ramblings 

Some Unfi nished 

Business 

By Lee Rice 

Reviewing some of my recent 

articles, I have become aware of 

too much unfi nished business. Often 

when I write, I have so much to write it 

doesn’t get printed. Not enough room 

and too much to say! So, here are a few 

random ramblings in order to help “fi nish 

business” for the year...hope you have a 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 

Audio Receivers: In the last few years I 

have bought and installed three “Porsche 

(BECKER) CDR 210” AM-FM-CD units 

from SW Stereo Specialists (1-800-270- 

2378). Stephen of SW Stereo was most 

helpful in fi nding exactly what I needed 

for my 911. I had shopped and studied 

and looked in a lot of catalogs trying to 

fi nd a simple, plain, easy-to-use receiver. 

I had purchased two units and returned 

both of them. Bluntly, I told Stephen that I 

was tired of trying out radios that required 

pencil-point fi ngers to select their tiny 

buttons, have dim display screens so 

that I was unable to see what was shown 

in daylight, and they were too darn small 

to read at night without glasses on! I 

needed a receiver like our older aircraft 

radios: black facing, white lettering, with 

large buttons and switches. Something 

German! Something logical that you 

can actually use while driving a swift 

Porsche! Three years later, my Porsche 

Becker SDR 210 is working perfectly and 

so are the three other units I installed in 

customer Porsches. 

Fire Extinguishers: I have carried a 

dry chemical Fire Extinguisher in all 

my cars since I started driving. My 

911 used to have the common dry 

powder fi re extinguisher, but in the last 

three years I was given a Haylon Fire 

Extinguisher. I only had to use one of my 

car extinguishers once. Thankfully, it was 

for another car on fi re early one morning 

on the way to work. One thing to check 

for on your Porsche’s Fire Extinguisher, 

(you DO have one don’t you?) is that the 

pressure charge is fully charged. Check 

them at least twice a year. 

CIS Fuel Injection: From my last report 

I can only add that some parts and 

suppliers of some parts for CIS are 

disappearing. Another thing to consider 

as more “computerized” cars are on 

the road—fewer of the specialists who 

serviced the older systems are around. If 

you have a nice 911, 944, 928 or 930, you 

might be wise to keep in mind who has 

these parts available. Be very cautious 

of bargains found online. 

I had to buy a used CIS (Control Pressure 

Regulator) from Einmalig, in Huntington 

Beach, (one of our advertisers) a while 

ago as no one had a new one. Thankfully, 

Einmalig lets you try the unit and return if 

it doesn’t work. (Mine worked fi ne). New 

prices are terrible, used prices not much 

better, but trying to find a part anywhere 

is getting more diffi cult all the time. The 

911 is going to be around for many, many, 

years to come and we old-timers know 

what lack-of-parts is all about. Now there 

are suppliers making new parts when 

Porsche, in its strange wisdom, does not 

make them anymore. I had a man tell 

me he bought a well-used 911SC solely 

for the parts in it! I hope this doesn’t 

become commonplace as 911SCs are 

still fantastic Porsches to drive! 

Christmas Ideas! 

Tire Pressure Gauge. There are plenty 

of them on the market. Dial display with 

nice analog scales, digital of all sorts. 

There is one that you set to a desired 

pressure and it beeps when you’ve 

fi lled your tire to the preset pressure. 

Whatever you prefer, checking your tires 

is the simplest and safest things you can 

do to maintain your Porsche. 

“The Essential Companion” series 

by Adrian Streather. One that I have 

been using a lot this year is the Porsche 

993 book. This is a soft-bound, 637- 

page, fully photographed book with only 

a few drawings. “The 993 Companion” 

starts out with factory assembly line 

photographs and goes into the history 

of each model—even detailed technical 

things found on the extremely rare 993 

3.8RS and 993 GT-2. If you know what a 

“DMF” is (Dual-Mass Flywheel), do you 

know what “SMF” is? Or what a “ZMS” 

is? It is trick and it is expensive! (So it 

must be interesting). How about what the 

OPTION CODES are on your 993? Or 

what are the FAULT CODES for Tiptronic? 

Or ABS? Or the infamous OBDII Codes? 

It is all there. Even with all of my factory 

Service Information Manuals and Werk 

Shop Manuals, I’ve found information in 

Streather’s books that I can’t fi nd in the 

factory books! Available at most good 

book stores or online for around $100. A 

996 version is in works now! 

…And for the “Detailer” in your 

family! 

Dusters. The most well known is “the 

California Duster.” These or any number 

of similar dusters are found at any auto 


parts stores. These dusters are handy to 

keep your washed and waxed Porsche 

looking nice a lot longer. Even the tired 

paint on my 911 is kept nice after a drive 

with 2-3 minutes of lightly dusting off the 

road dust. 

Spray Detailer. The purpose is to spray 

a fi ne misting (a secret water and wax 

substance) onto your car’s fi nish or 

directly onto a clean “paint wiping cloth”— 

not a rag! I use Meguiar’s or Mother’s or 

whatever comes in our Concours Goodie 

Bag! This detailer picks up where Dusters 

leave off and absorbs deposits left on 

paint from fog, dew, water spots, oil and 

even bird “stuff!” 

Automotive Finish Cloths. New cloths 

are free of foreign matter so you can 

lightly wipe Spray Detailer and dirt from 

your Porsche’s fi nish. You can fi nd special 

Finishing Cloths for painted fi nish where 

you fi nd dusters and spray detailers.

Since I started using these products, I 

only wash my Porsche with water, maybe 

twice a year. This is mostly to wash out 

wheel wells and dirt in hard-to-get-to 

places.

Autocross Corner 

The Best Day I’ve Ever 

Had With My Car— 

and My Wife! 

By Steve “Friend of the Cone!” Eguina 

We had a blast at the Autocross 

Driver’s Clinic…No doubt the best 

day I’ve ever had with the car…Our 

instructor Tom was very good…We were 

amazed at how friendly everyone was… 

The day was really good for me and my 

wife. 

The above comments were typical of 

those I received the week after the 

Autocross Driver’s Clinic, put on by OCR’s 

own Autocross Team. About 45 students, 

40 instructors and 10 more support staff 

attended the event. Jerry Griffin and 

Adam Nguyen, OCR’s Chief Driving 

Instructors, arranged for the instructors 

and had a fun day planned. 

Now, some of you who are not familiar 

with the concept of Autocross may be 

asking yourselves—what exactly is an 

Autocross? Autocross (or Auto-X) is 

the sport of trying to navigate your car 

through a defined course of pylons, 

usually on a large parking lot, faster than 

your competition. Autocross courses 

are set up using soft orange traffic 

pylon cones (which should not damage 

you car) and events are run at speeds 

usually between 40-65 mph, usually all 

in 2nd gear. Autocross is a “performance 

driving event” and a way to learn how 

to drive your car at its limits. You not 

only learn how to handle your car at 

speeds that you drive daily, but you also: 

Gain confidence in your driving ability 

• Learn the limits of your car’s brakes 

• Learn correct seating, hand and feet 

positions 

• Learn the limits of your car’s tire 

adhesion 

• Most importantly, Autocross is also 

a social gathering of friends with a 

common interest and is simply a ton 

of fun! 

Saturday Driver’s Clinic 

October 20, 2007, about 7:00 a.m.: 

Kevin and his son Christian Van Fleet, 

with some of the instructors, start to 

tech the students’ cars for basic safety. 

Once everyone was signed in with OCR’s 

crack registration team Lisa Goetsch, 

Margaret Knight and Lisa Hunter- 

Eguina, the drivers and students were 

split into two groups for a morning 

briefing while they enjoyed coffee and 

donuts, provided by our 2007 Event 

Site Sponsor, Stuttgart Performance. 

Thank you, Stuttgart! 

Some students had owned their Porsche 

for only five weeks, some five months 

and many had driven Porsches for five 

years or more. Have you ever wanted to 

push your Porsche to the limit but were 

afraid you would lose control? Many of 

the students wanted to do just that and 

now were given the opportunity in a 

controlled environment. Students learned 

how to throttle steer their car and how 

to control oversteer and understeer in 

the middle of a turn. In the accident 

avoidance exercise, they learned the gas 

pedal and steering wheel may be your 

best friend in a tight situation. During 

the threshold braking exercise you learn 

just how fast a Porsche will really stop! 

Many of the students had never attended 

an Auto-X event. After the morning 

exercises, a mini Auto-X course was 

set up so students could practice their 

newly learned skills. The course included 

increasing and decreasing radius turns, 

a slalom, a fairly long straight followed 

by a 180 degree turn then back through 

another slalom to the finish. 

Normally the course is outlined with flour, 

however, due to time constraints we did 

not outline the course. Most students 

started out slow, learning the course 

during the first four runs. Then the pace 

started to pickup! Joe Lipnisky, our 

Chief of Timing and Scoring, was kind 

enough to set up the timing equipment so 

students could gauge their improvement 

on each run. 

By mid-afternoon, the instructors were as 

excited as the students, cheering as they 

crossed the finish lights. Based on the 

times toward the end of the day, many 

of OCR’s 2007 Class Auto-X Champions 

may have some real competition next 

year. At the end of the day students and 

instructors were all smiles. 

By 6:00 p.m. Dave Palmquist and 

his team set up the course for OCR’s 

Newport Auto Center Driving Event 

Series championship event to be held the 

following day. As is tradition, everyone 

helped pack the equipment into OCR’s 

equipment truck. We were ready for the 

next day’s regular monthly Championship 

Auto-X event…or so we thought! 


Sunday Autocross event…almost 

We have had a pretty good two-year run 

with no rain, no temperatures over about 

80 degrees, no temperatures under 60 

degrees, no fog, no sleet and no snow! 

However, just when I thought we were 

home-free for 2007, “Mr. Wind” got us! In 

all honesty, he caught me by surprise. I 

usually have a pretty good talk regarding 

the weather with the Big Guy upstairs, and 

he takes good care of our small band of 

car addicts. But it was late when I arrived 

home Saturday night, I was tired and I 

just forgot. So…sorry for all the wind! 

Now, this wasn’t just a little windy—this 

was serious wind, lots of dirt and leaves, 

cones blowing over, tires blowing down 

the runway, trash cans blowing down the 

runway, you name it. The cones were 

blowing over faster than we could pick 

them up and right in the middle of trying 

to decide if maybe we should see if it 

was going to ease up, three of the four 

outhouses blew over! Not pretty. Then, 

five minutes later, the fourth outhouse 

designated as the “ladies” outhouse went 

over. Fortunately, none of the registration 

team was inside. Unfortunately, with 

the strong winds, Southern California 

experienced some of the worst fires in 

history. We canceled the event and some 

of the gang got together to watch the 

final Formula One race where a rookie 

almost won the World F1 Championship. 

(”If only I had a little more practice at 

threshold braking.”). 

Thank you everyone who helped pick 

up the equipment/cones and repack the 

truck in the 40-knot winds. As I always 

say, “If you need help in the Orange 

Coast Region, you just need to turn 

around and someone is offering to help 

before you ask!” OK, in this case we did 

bribe them with the donuts and coffee 

that Chris Duva and Margaret Knight 

brought. 

Come join the fun…yes, I mean 

you! 

Have you been sitting reading this 

column for the last couple of years and 

thinking you might want to do a little 

“tac testing” with your Porsche on the 

runways of El Toro Fields? Please come 

join us! We will provide you with an 

instructor and a helmet for the day. Life’s 

too short to watch others having all the 

fun! To read more about what to expect, 

go to www.PCAOCR.org and click on 

“OCR Forums” then “Driving Events” and 

read the first post: Auto-X – Frequently 

Asked Questions. 

Remember! Everyone has a first event. 

Everyone puts their pants on one leg at a 

time that morning. You won’t embarrass 

yourself…and I will guarantee that no 

one at the event is driving for the Porsche 

Factory…you will have a great time!

the overall balance sheet is positive. 

Margaret then requested income and 

expense reinbursement items. A motion 

to pay the expense reinbursements was 

made by Pete Lech and seconded by 

Ken Fredrickson. 

New Business 

2008 Calendar Planning: Chris Duva 

led the discussion and placed club 

activities on the 2008 calendar by month. 

The proposed 2008 calendar will be 

sent to all board members. All dates are 

subject to change with advance notice. 

Honoring Terry Wells and Bev Frohm: 

Terry Wells will be retiring from PCNA in 

December. 

It was agreed that he and his wife will 

be invited to the Christmas Party and 

be recognized at the event. Bev Frohm 

will step down from many years as 

Zone 8 Representative and will also be 

invited and recognized at the Christmas 

Party. The form of the recognitions will 

be determined at the November Board 

meeting. 

Enthusiast of the Year: President 

Duva suggested that each board 

member recommend an OCR member 

for the Enthusiast of the Year awards: 

one male and one female member 

may be recognized. Board members 

should send their suggestions by email 

to Chris by November 1, along with a 

simple description of why the person is 

recommended. 

Vice President: Jerry Ainsworth reported 

no changes to the 2007 calendar and 

that the Christmas party planning was on 

track. Nicole asked if the venue for the 

2008 party could be changed. She was 

told that it certainly could. 

Nominating: No report, however with 

Michael Dennis stepping down from the 

board, the president 

will appoint a replacement after the 

ballots have been received. 

Pandemonium Editor: Michelle Conard 

was absent. Nicole reported that there 

was some interest in the Pando Editor 

position at the Ladies Potluck event. 

Michelle has stated her intention to 

resign 

the editorship at the end of 2007. Gloria 

Moore has contacted a few graphic 

designers to do the production part of the 

magazine, so the club editor would only 

have to gather and edit stories, photos 

and captions. 

Magazine Distribution: Norm Hollinger 

was absent. A check was cut for the next 

Pando delivery. 

Goodie Store: David Miranda presented 

a check for the items sold at the October 

Breakfast. He expects to have license 

plate frames and dressy windbreaker-like 

jackets available prior to the holidays. 

Charity: Jerry Muno reported that $1,382 

was raised at the Hearts & Garages Tour 

for CHOC. 

Advertising: Grace Fredrickson 

reported that we currently have 35 

advertisers, with only one with an 

outstanding balance. 

Membership: Pete Lech had no report. 

Tours: Armand Gastelo reported that 

Michael Dennis will step down for 2008 

and that Gordon Williams will assist him 

with tours. Gordon will lead the Julian 

Tour on November 17. Armand said he 

already as 22 replies for cars for the 

Laguna Niguel Christmas Parade. Buzzy 

Klevens reported that the Octoberfest 

tour went well, but had a few gliches. 

Autocross: Steve Eguina reported on 

trophies being supplied by Stuttgart. He 

also reported that there are 85 people 

predicted for the Drivers’ Clinic on 

Saturday and many of them are new to 

the driving venues. He has 100 people 

for the Autocross on Sunday. He asked 

that the December 9 Autocross be added 

to the web site. 

Technical Activities: David Vadman 

had no new sessions to report. 

Web Site Coordination: Gloria reported 

that Frank Goodyear will take over the 

web site as of 2008 and he will try to 

make it more user-friendly and have more 

information available to members. He 

would like to re-design the site to make it 

easier to use and fi nd information, easier 

to maintain and improve the appearance. 

The board gave voice approval. 

Historian: Judy Lech reported that 

there is an historical story in the latest 

Pando. Members thanked her and said 

they liked it and would like more. 

A motion to adjourn the meeting was 

made by Jerry Muno and seconded 

by Ken Fredrickson. The meeting was 

adjourned at 9:26 pm. Respectively 

submitted by Gloria Moore (for Larry 

Moore).
