The President’s Column
Doreen Pankow
The month of May
was filled with a
variety of fun and
interesting events as well as
some unexpected ones. We
had a good turn-out for the
El Camino Real Rally, and it
was great to see so many new
entrants in the Novice Class
and a renewed interest in the
Time-Speed-Distance Rally.
Over 80 members attended
the “32 Hours 7 Minutes”
documentary that was held
at Rusnak Westlake Porsche. Cory Welles was a delightful young
lady, filmed the documentary while riding in the back seat of the
car with the two drivers who broke the record driving from New
York to LA. The documentary film was awesome, to say the least!!
Our Memorial Day weekend event proved to be another
fun outing for 44 members as we enjoyed the varied activities
ranging from wine tasting, hiking along the ocean bluffs, touring
a light station, driving on lots of back roads, and enjoying the
camaraderie of our friends.
Unfortunately, due to the fire in Camarillo Springs and across
the foothills to PCH and the fact that it was literally snowing
ashes in Camarillo on Friday, we cancelled our Saturday breakfast
meeting at the Camarillo Airport as we were concerned about the
air quality. As it turned out, the air was relatively clear by Saturday
morning, so seventeen members did venture out for breakfast.
The disappointing news in May was that we no longer have
access to drive onto the tarmac area or access to park on the
lawn at the Way-Point Café. Due to FAA involvement, airport
management will no longer allow us to drive out and park behind
the Café because of liability issues for both the airport and the
Way-Point Café. So we will no longer hold our first Saturday
breakfast meetings at this location.
The Way-Point Café provided us an opportunity to display
our Porsches in a unique environment at the airport. However,
the down-side was that there was never enough room for all or
even half of our members to have breakfast, as we’d outgrown the
capacity of their kitchen and patio seating area.
We have found another location to hold our first-Saturday-ofthe-month
breakfast meetings. The Whale’s Tail in the Channel
Islands Harbor area, which normally doesn’t open until 11A.M., is
going to open their restaurant early so we can have our breakfast
meeting there every month. Thus, we will be the only patrons
being served breakfast, and we’ll have the parking lot to ourselves.
Everyone can sit down and eat at the same time, and we can hold
our meeting inside the restaurant, like we do at the Santa Barbara
breakfast meeting. We can still walk around and enjoy viewing
the Porsches before and after breakfast, as they will all be grouped
together in the parking lot. We no longer have to park on wet
grass or have to stand or eat outside on a cold day, and we also get
to enjoy views of all the beautiful yachts in the Channel Islands
Harbor.
So there are a lot of positives about this change in location.
I hope all of you will continue to come out for the breakfast
meetings on the first Saturday of every month and enjoy the
positive aspects of this new location at the Whale’s Tail Restaurant
located at 3950 Bluefin Circle in Oxnard, just off Harbor
Boulevard and the Channel Islands Harbor.

Camarillo Breakfast Location Changes
To Whale’s Tail in Channel Islands Harbor
Owing to circumstances beyond our control, The Way-
Point Café at Camarillo Airport is no longer available for
our first-Saturday-of-the-month gatherings. The F.A.A.
has mandated that cars no longer enter the tarmac and apron area
of the field. So, no more display parking at The Way-Point...always
a prime attraction of our breakfasts there.
On Saturday, June 1, 2013, we will begin meeting at The Whale’s
Tail restaurant just off South Harbor Boulevard in the Channel
Islands Harbor (see map below). Since the restaurant normally
does not open until 11:00 a.m., club members will be the only
patrons for Saturday breakfast. Plus, we’ll enjoy exclusive use of the
spacious parking lot in front of the Whale’s Tail for mutual Porsche
admiration!
The Whale’s Tail will open at 7:30 a.m. for our 8:00 a.m. breakfast,
and we’ll have our usual, short business meeting at 9:00 a.m.
We look forward to seeing everyone at our new Channel Islands
breakfast location beginning on Saturday, June 1st. =

With no meeting last week at the Way-Point Café due to
the Camarillo Springs Fire, the PCA/SBR 30th annual
Boucher/Schneider Rally being held this morning,
dinner and a private showing of the movie “32 Hours and 7
Minutes” for PCA/SBR members at Rusnak this evening as well as
a very foggy morning in Santa Barbara, it became anyone’s guess
how many members would attend the breakfast meeting at Stearns
Wharf. With all this going on and over 100 paid signups for the
full day’s worth of events, we still enjoyed a nice showing of 28
attendees in 21 Porsches.
Doreen was at the rally, so Vice-President John McNair chaired
the meeting in her absence. He presented the group with one
MAJOR announcement. Beginning next month, we will no longer
hold our monthly first Saturday breakfast meeting at the Way-
Point Café. Our monthly breakfast meeting on June 1st will be
held at the Whale’s Tail restaurant at the Channel Islands Harbor in
Oxnard and will continue there the first Saturday of every month.

they can only accept a very small group to this activity. Before we

Sunday, July 21, 2013, to be held at the Saticoy Country Club in
Somis. =

Bob Gates from Santa Barbara who came to the meeting in his
1998 993 Cabriolet.
After Sue spoke, I took the dais and talked about all the
events coming up in the next few months. I reiterated to our
group that when an activity is first announced that they get their
registrations and money in early if they are planning on attending
that event. We are continually forced to turn down participants,

R.U.F. Trip to Thacher School
STORY BY JEANNE MCNAIR, PHOTOS BY NICK LIAKAS
Seventeen R.U.F.ians in ten Porsches left the Waypoint Cafe on
April 18, 2013, to caravan our way over backcountry roads in
Ventura County to the Thacher School in Ojai. It was a route
many in the club had ridden before but one that no one seems to
tire of because of its twisties, elevation changes and great beauty.
We went directly to Balcom Canyon Road in Somis and from there
to South Mountain Road in Santa Paula and finally onto the Ojai-
Santa Paula Road into the east end of Ojai.
The R.U.F. Report
participate in the program, which provides that the student have
full responsibility for his or her own horse. This includes mucking
stalls, grooming, feeding and regularly riding and exercising
the horse. Students learn to ride and also learn all manner of
horsemanship. This is considered an important part of the overall
curriculum and has been found to be very effective in developing
a sense of responsibility and consistent follow-through on the part
of the young teenagers.
We learned from Head of School, Michael Mulligan, who met
with us at the conclusion of the tour, that Thacher has very high
standards for its students and operates on an honor code. The
school seeks to provide carefully calibrated challenges to each
student such that growth and learning will occur without the need
for so much stress as often is the case in many teenage school
environments. The students cannot have cars and are offered
numerous extracurricular activities both on and off campus.
Virtually all of Thacher graduates go on to a four-year college or
university. The school is beloved by its alumni, and there are fourth
and fifth generation Thacher students.
After thanking our guides and Mr. Mulligan for our educational
and enjoyable tour, we left Thacher and went into the village of Ojai
for a group lunch at the Sea Fresh restaurant. There we sat outside
in the warm weather visiting with friends and talking about all that
we’d learned about a very interesting venue in Ventura County. =
We were met at the Thacher School by senior students, Nan and
Bradley, who took us on a fascinating walking tour of the oldest
coed preparatory school in California. The campus is on more
than 250 acres below the Topa Topa bluffs and is graciously spread
out over rolling topography, which gave us all a good walk and
beautiful views. The setting is very lovely with lots of oak trees and
a mix of old and new architecture which blended in nicely with the
natural setting.
Thacher School was founded by easterner Sherman Thacher
in 1887 as an all-boys prep school; it became coed in the mid
1970’s. There are about 240 students, the vast majority of whom
board at the school. They come from all over the U.S. and from
numerous foreign countries. The student body is diverse and the
tuition expensive; however, we were surprised to learn that with
its endowment, Thacher is able to offer financial assistance for
fees to one in three students. The school is known for its academic
rigor as well as the plethora of sporting and outdoor activities
available to the students year-round because of the mild Ojai
climate. Of particular note is the Thacher horse program started by
Sherman Thacher at the school’s inception. Every freshman must

Cayman Launch at Rusnak Westlake & SBAG
ARTICLE & PHOTOS AT RUSNAK WESTLAKE BY NICK LIAKAS
The official launch of the brand new Cayman was on April
26, 2013, and our two local dealerships celebrated in style!
The first celebration of what is certain to be a highly successful
facelift was held on that evening at Rusnak Westlake Porsche. The
new showroom was festive and crowded, and the showpiece was
on display in the center of the hall. Snacks and refreshments were
substantial and eagerly consumed by the attendees. Elizabeth
Rusnak Arizamendi and Keith Goldberg represented The Rusnak
Autogroup, and it was Keith with the honors of unveiling the star
attraction. A second copy of the Cayman was on the lawn, just
by the front entrance. Both received lots of praise and admiring
comments.
The Santa Barbara Auto Group showcased its launch on Saturday,
April 27, with the official unveiling at 11 a.m. Attendance and
excitement were high, with many of those in attendance taking
an extra long time inspecting and experiencing the beautiful
Caymans on display. Here too the refreshments and morning
snacks were plentiful and much appreciated. The gracious hosts
and SBR supporters Duane Sanders, Roger Jackson, Bill Fogg and
Walt Branscome made certain that all in attendance had sufficient
opportunity to “kick the tires” (as we used to say in the old days) to
fully appreciate the marvelous and elegant revised edition Cayman.
Judging from those in attendance at both locations, along with
the unanimous praise the Cayman has received in the automotive
press, this newly released version from Porsche will be a huge
success. =

John & Pam Alfenito’s 2011 Carrera GTS ordered from fellow SBR member Walt Branscome at Santa Barbara Auto Group in
September 2010 and delivered in December 2010. Reportedly, it was the first Carrera GTS to arrive in California. In order to make
the delivery before the end of the year, the car was taken off the transport ship in New York Harbor and put on a cross-country
train to California, avoiding the delay of the ship’s other stops and journey through the Panama Canal. Needless to say, it was a
Happy New Year for the Alfenitos!

El Camino Real XXX
The Boucher/Schneider Zone 8 T/S/D Rally
STORY & EVENT PHOTOS BY DICK LANGE & DOREEN PANKOW
It was a picture perfect day for the 30th running of El Camino
Real, Santa Barbara Region’s Zone 8 rally, on Saturday, May
13th. Dave and Susan Stone greeted and registered the 20
rallyists and gave them the coveted route instructions along with
PCA Rally rules and a few delay forms in case they ran into time
delays. The drivers and navigators hastily retreated to their cars to
study the route and try to discern all the tricky nuances before the
start of the rally. Those who attended the Rally School in April
were hoping their extra preparation would pay off.
Revere Jones and Tom Gould, PCA Zone 8’s Rally Co-Chairs,
wrote the rally route for our event. They called the group together
for a route briefing meeting about twenty minutes before our
departure. The checkpoint workers left early to “man” the various
checkpoints which the rallyists are expected to find throughout
their route. These checkpoints are easy to miss if you aren’t paying
attention, and the penalty in points is steep. The checkpoint
workers don’t exactly wear bright orange clothes, and they often
park their cars where they’re not easily seen.
Ten cars left the Sears parking lot in Santa Barbara, one
minute apart, with high hopes of achieving perfection, which
means you don’t get lost or take any wrong turns, you find all the
checkpoints, not knowing how many there will be, and you arrive
within hundredths of minutes accuracy at each checkpoint at the
“true time.” The rallyist’s job is to stay on time and on course, by
following the cryptic clues in the route instructions. Of course
this means you have to estimate how long you sat at the stop sign
or stoplight, how long you spent getting up to that average speed
and then estimate how much faster you have to drive for the next
few seconds or minutes to make up lost time. The driver is usually
trying to figure out all these “seat of the pants” estimates while
the navigator is reading and calling out the next course of action
designated on the rally route, looking for road signs and trying not
to get carsick while reading and calculating along windy canyon
roads. What could be more fun?
So where did we go? The odometer calibration portion of the
course took us on San Marcos Pass Road/CA-154, and then we
headed up and over a very windy E. Camino Cielo Rd. for almost
18 miles and enjoyed incredible views of the California Condor
Preserve and the coastline. Of course, the navigators were all
getting carsick as they were trying to read the route instructions
on this windy road. We then traveled through Santa Barbara on
Foothill Rd. (the CA-192) and a variety of other roads until we
finally came out onto the 101 South for a few miles. We enjoyed
a side tour exiting onto CA-1 at Seacliff for about six miles along
the coastline and then back onto the 101 south to the CA-126
East. We got off at Victoria and toured many side roads along
Foothill Rd. including Wheeler Canyon Rd. Then we headed east
on Foothill Rd. towards Santa Paula. Near the end of the rally,
we traversed Acacia on the south side of the CA-126 to find our
last checkpoint. Five novice cars (drivers and navigators) and five
more experienced cars ran the same course. We covered about 80
miles of predominantly back roads over a period of three and a half
hours, and ended at the Familia Diaz Restaurant in Santa Paula
for a late lunch and the presentation of the awards. (Results listed
below)
I want to thank all our excellent checkpoint workers: Burt and
Marge Misevic, Jim Paden, Jared Leadbetter, Joe Boucher and Tom
Brown, PCA Zone 8’s Representative. I’d also like to thank Dave &
Susan Stone for handling the day-of-event registration. And a BIG

Porsche Emission Systems: Past & Present
BY CHRIS ANDROPOULOS
Santa Barbara Region Tech Editor
This month we will take a closer
look at Porsche’s efforts over the
years to minimize harmful exhaust
emissions from its U.S.-bound automobiles.
As discussed in last month’s column,
both the U.S. federal and California state
government agencies have long required
automakers to meet exhaust emission
standards and install various smog control
devices in an attempt to do so. Though
Porsche would have been considered a
small, boutique automaker in its early days,
it was held to the same standards as giants
like GM or Ford. This article will provide a
brief history of Porsche emission controls
and explain that while early devices were
crude and detrimental to engine power
output, subsequent advances in technology
have made engines more efficient and
powerful than ever. I will also discuss the
secondary air injection system, which is a
pollution control system installed on many
modern Porsches.
Porsche’s first attempts at emission
controls in the late 1960s were as crude as
those of most automakers of the time. Many
automotive purists will recoil in horror
at the sight of engine bays dominated by
smog pumps, vacuum-limiting valves and
rat’s nests of vacuum hoses, but that was the
reality of the time. Porsche first installed
smog pumps in U.S.-bound 911s and 912s
in 1968. The smog pump is a belt-driven
mechanical air pump that injects air into
the exhaust to dilute the air/fuel mixture.
Enthusiasts derided these devices because
they sapped engine power, added weight,
and limited access to the engine bay, but
they were necessary to meet the emissions
standards of the time. It should be noted
that it is now permissible in California to
remove such emission control equipment
from 1974 and earlier vehicles, but it must
remain as installed by the factory in 1975
and later vehicles.
The U.S. market was given a brief
respite from the smog pump the very
next year, as carburetors were replaced
by Bosch mechanical fuel injection
(MFI) in the upmarket 911E and 911S
models (the base 911T continued to use
The 914 of 1970 was the first Porsche to feature
electronically controlled fuel injection.
As late as the 1970s, it wasn’t uncommon to see downtown Los Angeles enveloped in
a bronze cloud of choking pollution. Emission standards have changed that for good.
carburetors until 1972). The MFI system
was originally developed for racing, and
offered carburetor-like throttle response
and actually increased engine output,
while offering precision metering of the
amount of fuel injected into the engine.
This improved fuel economy and reduced
emissions, but ever tightening emission
standards and the oil crises of the 1970s
meant that the MFI system’s days were
numbered. Porsche continued to use
MFI systems in its racing engines into
the 1980s, but introduced another Bosch
mechanical injection system on the 1973.5
911T. The Continuous Injection System,
or CIS, remained in use on 911s through
1983 (911 Turbo models used a version of
CIS through 1994), and was also used on
the contemporary 924 and 928, along with
many other European cars of the era. It is a
very solid and reliable system, though much
more oriented towards emissions control
and fuel economy than performance.
The 914 of 1970 was the first Porsche
to feature electronically controlled fuel
injection. An electronic unit provided
precise control of the amount of fuel injected
by the injectors, though the ignition system
was still a traditional breaker point system
with manually adjustable ignition timing.
The dreaded smog pump returned to 911
engine bays in 1975, along with restrictive
thermal reactors in the exhaust and exhaust
gas recirculation (EGR) systems to reduce
emissions. The model year 1980 range of
U.S.-bound Porsches saw the introduction
of an oxygen sensor in the exhaust system
to monitor the air/fuel ratio of the engine
and provide feedback of such to an
electronic control unit. This system was
“piggybacked” onto the contemporary CIS
mechanical fuel injection system installed
in the 911 (allowing for re-elimination of
the smog pump), 924, and 928, and with the
aid of an electronic control unit, it adjusts
the fuel mixture (within a limited range) if
necessary to compensate for engine wear,
air leaks, incorrect fuel pressure, or any
other condition that deviates from the ideal
mixture of 14.7 parts of air to each part of
fuel to provide efficient combustion and
maximize catalytic converter function.

The 944 of 1983 saw Porsche’s first use
of the Digital Motor Electronics or DME
control unit that integrated fuel injection
control and precise electronic ignition
timing adjustment in the same unit. The
911 followed suit in 1984. The DME system
represented a quantum leap in electronic
engine controls and allowed for easier
engine startup when cold and increased
engine performance while reducing
emissions and fuel consumption.
The original DME system is basic
compared to the supercomputers that
control modern engines, but when
introduced it presented a diagnostic
challenge to mechanics who were used to
repairing traditional mechanical systems.
A thorough understanding of electronic
circuits and an array of electrical meters and
scopes is required to fully and accurately
diagnose a problem with the system. The
requisite probing of the individual circuits
of the DME system can be time consuming.
As mentioned in last month’s article,
by the mid-1980s both automakers and
government regulators realized the need
for engine electronics to be capable of
a basic level of self-diagnosis. In 1988,
Porsche equipped the 944S and 928S4 with
engine management systems capable of
storing fault memory. A special Porsche
System Tester (PST) scan tool is required
to access and read this memory, and the
subsequent 964 and 993 series 911s are also
compatible with this early Porsche scan
tool, as is the 968.
The 1996
model year was
the deadline
for Porsche
and all other
automakers to
be compliant
with the universal On-Board Diagnostic
II (OBDII) architecture for its electronic
engine controls (see last month’s tech
article for more details on OBDII). The
993 series 911s were the first Porsche
automobiles to feature OBDII capability,
and its implication could be considered an
afterthought. The required engine misfire
detection system can be inaccurate on the
993 engine, as improperly adjusted fan
or alternator belts or a faulty dual-mass
flywheel can cause “phantom” misfire
Even the engine bay of this 1985 Carrera features a lot of “plumbing.”
fault codes and set a “check engine” light.
The OBDII emission monitors are also
notoriously difficult to set on a 993.
The electronic controls for the watercooled
engine that powered the nextgeneration
Boxster and 996 series 911
was designed with OBDII architecture
from the start. The M96 engine is a
thoroughly modern design with dual
overhead camshafts, individual ignition
coils for each cylinder, and variable intake
camshaft timing. Porsche first introduced
its VarioCam system on the four cylinder
968 of 1992. VarioCam features a solenoid
that uses oil pressure to vary tension on the
timing chain of the intake camshaft based
on engine RPM and load. The timing of the
opening and closing of the intake valves
varies accordingly, allowing for a smooth
idle and reduced emissions at low RPM,
and better breathing for more power at
high RPM.
The VarioCam Plus system, introduced
for the 2001 996 Turbo and all 2002 996s,
adds variable intake camshaft lift and
an improved camshaft timing control
mechanism for even greater high-RPM
performance, while still idling smoothly
and meeting strict emission control
standards. These clean and modern water
cooled engines were finally able to eclipse
the 1960s 911S in terms of horsepowerper-liter
of engine displacement.
An emission control system common
to many Porsches is the secondary air
injection system. Introduced on the 993
series 911 in 1994, the system consists of
an electronic air pump that injects air into
the exhaust system for 30-60 seconds after
cold startup. The extra oxygen allows for
rapid catalytic converter warmup, thus
dramatically reducing cold-start emissions.
Secondary air injection was carried over
to the Boxster and 996, and was also used
on 997 series 911s through 2008 and on
the first generation Cayennes through
2006. The vacuum cleaner-like sound of
the secondary air pump can often be heard
after cold engine startup. The system is only
operational during the cold start engine
warmup phase, and otherwise has no effect
on engine performance or reliability.
With the introduction of OBDII engine
controls on the 1996 993 and all subsequent
Porsches, the secondary air injection system
is monitored by the DME control unit. The
secondary air system is monitored by the
oxygen sensors, and if they do not sense
extra air being injected into the exhaust
system after cold engine startup, fault codes
are logged, and a “check engine” light will
soon illuminate. Sometimes the electronic
and vacuum operated control valves that
allow airflow to the exhaust system can fail,
or a vacuum leak can cause the system to be
non-functional.
The 993s equipped with this system are
prone to carbon blockage of the secondary
air passages cast into the cylinder heads
and camshaft housings. The carbon
originates from oil seeping past worn
exhaust valve guides, and the combustion
of this oil over time causes buildup of a
hard carbon residue inside the secondary
air passages. The only permanent fix for
Continued on page 22

Continued from page 21
this issue is complete disassembly of the
top end of the engine to fully clean out the
secondary air passages and replacement
of the original valve guides with versions
made of a more durable material. There
are chemical “flushes” available to attempt
to clean out the passages, but these have
a limited success rate and do not address
the root problem of the soft original valve
guides.
It is a shame that a minor emission
control system can cause smog and
registration issues on what is an otherwise
awesome iteration of the 911. Luckily, my
shop has a quick test procedure to check for
blockage of the secondary air passages of a
993. It must be noted that the secondary
air passages of the later Boxster and 996
engines sometimes clog with carbon as well,
but the passages on these engines are short
and direct in comparison with those of the
993 and can be cleaned relatively easily
after removal of the exhaust manifolds.
Today’s Porsche engines feature Direct
Fuel Injection (DFI), in which the fuel
is injected directly into the combustion
chambers, as opposed to being injected
behind the intake valve in previous designs.
This allows for extremely precise control
of the fuel injection quantity and spray
pattern, improving fuel economy by 15-
20% and allowing for higher compression
ratios and even greater efficiency and
power output. Injecting fuel directly
into the intense heat and pressure of the
combustion chamber requires extremely
high fuel pressures of almost 2,000 PSI for
the fuel to be able to atomize, compared to
40-60 PSI for traditional port fuel injection.
Therefore, the normal electric fuel pump
in the fuel tank is supplemented by a high

from one of the camshafts.
The DFI fuel injectors are very

We can all agree that less of this is a good thing.
cycle if necessary depending on engine
running conditions. This capability allows
for a special fuel injection strategy for
cold engine warmup that rapidly heats the
catalytic converters, allowing for complete
elimination of the aforementioned
secondary air injection system. The DFI
electronic control unit possesses far greater
computing power than the traditional
DME units in order to calculate the
plethora of complex injection strategies.
Thus it generates enough heat to warrant
being mounted on a heat sink to stay cool!
With automatic engine stop and start
systems and electronic power steering
systems now a reality in the latest Porsche
models, the amount and sophistication
of emission-reduction and fuel-saving
controls is increasing in lockstep with
the stringency of U.S. and European
Union regulations. Porsche even offers
hybrid-electric and diesel versions of its
Panamera and Cayenne models to reduce
the average fuel
c o n s u m p t i o n
of its portfolio
of vehicles.
While this may
dismay some
traditionalists, it
allows Porsche
to move forward
in this brave
new world and
still produce
the world-class
sports cars
that fans of the
marque know
and love. =

An “Outlaw” Night
at the Movies
STORY BY NICK LIAKAS, PHOTOS BY DICK LANGE
No one thought it was possible! The claim that in 1982 a
team of drivers raced from New York to Santa Monica
in “32 Hours 7 Minutes” was applauded by many, and
derided by a few. Doubt was followed by accusations of cheating.
Proving that it could be done was a challenge that Cory Welles was
eager to take on. The story of how she did so is chronicled in a
movie she produced and directed that bears the title “32 Hours 7
Minutes.” So what’s the story Cory? Was the claim legit?
Eighty-two SBR members attended a private screening of the
movie on the evening of May 11 at Rusnak Westlake Porsche. (Our
thanks to Keith Goldberg for making this possible.) The parking lot
at the new facility was transformed into a restaurant serving a buffet
dinner (served by Chef Marcus of N’Awlinz Bistro of Newbury
Park), and then reorganized into an outdoor theater under the stars
with a large screen and superb audio/video equipment (donated
for the evening by SBR member Desmond Warren of DSR Audio)
that provided a magnificent viewing experience. By 8:15 p.m. it was
sufficiently dark to start the show.
The film we were about to see traced the secretive, cross-country
races that were known as the U.S. Express that took place in the
late 1970s and early 1980s after the official Cannonball races had
ended. Interviews with participants in those races were highlighted
and provided plenty of comic relief from the anxiety of the archival
race scenes Cory used
to weave together a
piece of American auto
racing history. The goal
of the races was simple:
who could drive the
fastest in the shortest
amount of time crosscountry.
The challenges
were many, and for
most “outlaws” success
was fleeting.
Cory Welles, Director of
“32 Hours 7 Minutes”
Cory put together a team of exceptional (but somewhat crazy)
drivers to test the validity of the claim. She settled on a BMW M5
outfitted with extraordinary equipment that would monitor police
radios and included night vision goggles, flashing emergency
lights, etc. The first attempt to prove the claim ended in failure
near St. Louis, but the second attempt (that also employed scout
airplanes to warn of traffic hazards up ahead) made it from one end
of the country to the other. Did it succeed in proving the claim? To
find out, you should have attended the screening!
Thanks to Keith, Chef Marcus and Desmond for making this
event memorable and so successful. Who knows? Maybe we will
have another “Night at the Movies” in the near future. =

The Power of Yum Cooking Class
Let’s Cook Our Way To Better Health...Together
Welcome To The June 15th P.M.S. Broth Experience
“If you do not take care of your body, where are you going to live?” – unknown mystic
Spend a Saturday morning cooking together with Broth-for-Healing cook
and advocate, Nola Force, and you may learn new cooking/healing techniques.
Learn the flavor secrets of Chef Rebecca Katz’s “Fass Principle,” the use of
the sea vegetable kombu and a mineral-balancing broth using four available
vegetables for clarity, weight loss, and juice fasting programs.
On Saturday morning, June 15 at 10:30 a.m. bring your favorite chopping
knife, cutting board, and $10.00 for food cost to the Somis kitchen of Sue
Kinsling. A broth-based lunch is included. Nola will share her 20-plus years
of creating broths for better health.
The event is limited to 16 persons due to kitchen size, so reserve
your space early by contacting Nola at nolaforce@gmail.com or
530-966-0916.
As owner/chef of the Wellspring Catering Company and Co-Director of the
Windrise Retreat Center in Metamora, MI, Nola Force teamed up with nutritionists
in the University of Michigan’s Complementary Medicine Nutritional Grant Program in
2003-4 to teach heart patients better living skills. The response was heart-warming, and
the Beano after day one of five was discarded. On her return to California in 2005, Nola volunteered
with the TLC and Hospice programs offering her broths. In Nola’s experience they are gentle and energy-giving.
Add your intention and they are healers.
