Surveys, Facebook, <strong>Club</strong> Race<br />
and Passing the Torch<br />
Surveys<br />
Last year we restarted our Annual <strong>Carolinas</strong><br />
<strong>PCA</strong> <strong>Region</strong> Survey as a means to give you, our<br />
members, a voice and to better know who you<br />
are, what you want to do and how you think<br />
things are going. While those phone calls,<br />
emails and conversations at events are great<br />
forms <strong>of</strong> input, this survey gives us an objective<br />
measure <strong>of</strong> your views.<br />
Doug Smith, <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong> VP, has again<br />
headed up the survey and he has made<br />
tweaks to the survey based on your input.<br />
Last year we had a great participation rate<br />
(>300 members responded). This year we<br />
would like to do better. Please take the 10<br />
minutes needed to participate.<br />
Facebook<br />
We currently have 315 members on the <strong>Carolinas</strong><br />
<strong>Region</strong> <strong>PCA</strong> Facebook page. While there<br />
are announcements about our regular <strong>Region</strong>al<br />
events, there are other automotive events<br />
announced and discussed.<br />
This page is restricted, i.e. you have to ask to<br />
join. That way we do not have to worry about<br />
public comments or spam postings external to<br />
the <strong>Club</strong>. To join, search on ‘<strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong><br />
- <strong>Porsche</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong>’. Join in on the fun!<br />
<strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Race<br />
Yes! The 2012 edition <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong><br />
<strong>Club</strong> Race is on! This year we welcome a new<br />
title sponsor, Hawk Performance Brakes. Accordingly,<br />
the race this year will be known as<br />
the ‘Hawk <strong>Carolinas</strong> Challenge’.<br />
Our other sponsors are:<br />
Autometrics / Foreign Cars Italia /<br />
Renngruppe / McDaniels <strong>Porsche</strong> /<br />
Carolina Orthopeadic / Martin Brothers<br />
/ Renn-Link / Exclusive Motorwerks /<br />
Pacific Institute / Robbie Strickland /<br />
Chapter 10 Racing / North Shore / Rudtner<br />
Racing<br />
The event will commence on Thursday, 25<br />
October with a Turn One Test-and-Tune, with<br />
<strong>Club</strong> Race and DE Registrations and Tech<br />
Inspections starting that afternoon. The will<br />
be practice and two Fun Races on Friday<br />
with a full race and DE schedule starting<br />
Saturday morning.<br />
If you are not racing or participating in the DE,<br />
please come out and support your <strong>Region</strong><br />
and the event as a spectator. We have an<br />
open paddock and everyone will be happy to<br />
answer any questions you have.<br />
ALMS at VIR<br />
Many <strong>PCA</strong> members follow those other forms<br />
<strong>of</strong> racing, i.e. the ones that turn left AND right.<br />
Last year when we found out that Grand Am<br />
would not return to VIR, a lot <strong>of</strong> you were disappointed,<br />
as was I. But when I found out<br />
that the ALMS was going to take its place<br />
at VIR, the thought <strong>of</strong> the speed that the P1<br />
prototypes would reach left me a bit giddy<br />
(the Muscle Milk HPD ARX-03a lapped VIR<br />
at 1:35.434 (123.352 mph) which beat the<br />
previous record <strong>of</strong> 1:36.3 clocked by an ex-<br />
Benetton F1 car in 2004).<br />
Accordingly, plans were made post haste to attend.<br />
As I have chronicled in this monthly article,<br />
my son Cooper has been attending many <strong>PCA</strong><br />
events over the past couple <strong>of</strong> years. I have tried<br />
to match the length <strong>of</strong> events, as well as distance,<br />
to his level <strong>of</strong> endurance. He went with<br />
me to ‘In Den Bergen’ this year, which entailed<br />
a 3 hour ride to Waynesville. So I figured a 2<br />
½ hour trip to VIR would be safe, knowing that<br />
we would have to leave the race early (the race<br />
start time was 2:30PM). So after buy <strong>of</strong>f from<br />
Mom, plans were made and tickets bought.<br />
Cooper has always been a trooper when<br />
travelling in the Cayenne, even though it<br />
does not have a DVD player as we have in<br />
the Family Truckster (aka Honda Odyssey).<br />
He enjoys looking at the passing scenery,<br />
singing songs and making astute observations<br />
(‘Daddy, that man can’t hear you’). Put<br />
it this way, he is better behaved than some<br />
past adult travel companions ... and less<br />
opinionated ... so far anyway.<br />
Both Cooper and I had a great time. We met<br />
up with Rob Purviance and his son, as well<br />
as Bob and Nadine Saville, Hal Michael, Tom<br />
Morgan and many other <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong><br />
members. We walked the paddock and chatted<br />
with the Flying Lizard Team. Cooper got<br />
his Flying Lizard T-Shirt signed by all the drivers<br />
and got a picture with Patrick Long and<br />
Jörg Bergmeister. Both were very gracious<br />
with their time and patience.<br />
Top: Cooper and Dad arriving at VIR<br />
Bottom: Cooper sharing a photo op with<br />
Patrick Long and Jörg Bergmeister<br />
Other highlights were Cooper getting his picture<br />
taken with the Cooper Tire Girls and also<br />
doing a touring lap <strong>of</strong> VIR (top speed was not<br />
reported to Mom, but it was north <strong>of</strong> three<br />
digits on the back straight). We also walked<br />
over to the Ferrari Corral and took a few pictures<br />
there also.<br />
We settled in at the <strong>Porsche</strong>Platz for the beginning<br />
<strong>of</strong> the race. Cooper was armed with<br />
his newly acquired ear protection from the<br />
Bass Pro Shop. He was clearly excited and<br />
very focused. However, about 50 minutes into<br />
the race I could tell he was starting to drag so<br />
it was time to go. Within 2 minutes <strong>of</strong> getting<br />
him into his car seat, he passed out. He slept<br />
until Salisbury.<br />
My Dad started taking me to races when<br />
I was around 6 and I have always had fond<br />
memories <strong>of</strong> those days. I am hoping to pass<br />
on similar memories to Cooper. The next generation<br />
starts now.<br />
That’s it for this month. As always, if you have<br />
any ideas, comments or feedback please feel<br />
free to contact me at president@carolinas-pca.<br />

In Den Bergen 2012<br />
‘In Den Bergen’ continued its<br />
strong year over year growth in<br />
2012 with 142 registrants participating<br />
in the fourth annual event on<br />
August 10-12. It’s not a surprise. The low<br />
key atmosphere <strong>of</strong> a People’s Choice Concours<br />
and the beautiful setting in the mountains at The<br />
Waynesville Inn Golf Resort and Spa results in a laid<br />
back atmosphere for <strong>Porsche</strong> people to enjoy their cars.<br />
What began as one person’s idea, Mountain Area member<br />
Ron Becker, to share their passion for <strong>Porsche</strong> cars with the local<br />
community and raise funds benefitting a local charity has firmly established<br />
itself as one <strong>of</strong> the top events in the <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong> and Zone 3.<br />
The involvement <strong>of</strong> Sarge’s Animal Rescue Foundation adds to the event and<br />
provides the <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong> and Mountain Area, in particular, an opportunity to<br />
give back to the community in which they live.<br />

Sarge’s volunteers circulated with adoptable<br />
pets during the event and put on<br />
view its mini dog house collection box for<br />
donations. “This is the fourth year that the<br />
<strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>PCA</strong> has promoted Sarge’s at<br />
this event,” said David Butler, Mountain<br />
Area Director and event chairman. Sarge’s<br />
receives all proceeds from the raffle <strong>of</strong> donated<br />
items as well as donations received<br />
from the public and <strong>PCA</strong> entrants. With donations,<br />
onsite fund raising activities and<br />
the <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>PCA</strong> matching charitable<br />
donation, the event raised $3500.00 for<br />
Sarge’s. A check was presented to Gary<br />
Smith, President <strong>of</strong> the Board for Sarge’s<br />
on August 30. “It’s a pleasure to present<br />
Sarge’s Animal Rescue Foundation a check<br />
to support the services they provide”, said<br />
Butler.<br />
“Sarge’s is very grateful to the <strong>Carolinas</strong><br />
<strong>PCA</strong>, Mountain Area for raising this money<br />
to help with the expenses involved in the<br />
rescue <strong>of</strong> animals from the local shelter,”<br />
said Smith.”In August, Sarge’s adopted out<br />
49 dogs and cats. This ties the record for<br />
the best August ever (set last year). Plus<br />
we transported 54 dogs to Northeast rescue<br />
shelters where they are more rapidly<br />
adopted. The donation will go a long way to<br />
provide needed medical treatment and fuel<br />
for transports.”<br />
This year’s ‘In Den Bergen’ registrants displayed<br />
74 <strong>Porsche</strong> cars on the first fairway<br />
<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Carolinas</strong> course at The Waynesville<br />
Inn. Event registrants included <strong>PCA</strong> members<br />
from Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina,<br />
South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.<br />
The People’s Choice Concours winner<br />
was Chip Perry <strong>of</strong> Blowing Rock, NC with his<br />
beautiful 1958 Meissen Blue 356A Speedster.<br />

‘In Den Bergen’ would not be possible<br />
without our sponsors’ support! Luckily,<br />
IDB continues to enjoy strong sponsor relationships,<br />
including the ongoing support<br />
<strong>of</strong> Pirelli Tires, The Waynesville Inn Golf Resort<br />

IDB 2012 began on Friday afternoon with a golf tournament that included sixteen participants.<br />
Some followed the lead <strong>of</strong> Matt Motteler and enjoyed a drive <strong>of</strong> the ‘Tail <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Dragon’ while others enjoyed circuitous routes to Waynesville via beautiful back country<br />
mountain roads. Registration was fun with friends meeting, having a drink and making<br />
plans for dinner later in the evening. Saturday morning found early risers in the parking lot<br />
getting their cars ready for the concours and others enjoying the buffet breakfast.<br />
We began concours placement promptly at 10:00 a.m. and all seven classes <strong>of</strong> cars were<br />
in place thirty-five minutes later. What a beautiful sight. Concours registrant’s assistance<br />
really helped the team accomplish their goal <strong>of</strong> prompt and orderly placement. Everyone<br />
settled in enjoying the cars and adoptable pets touring the grounds with Sarge’s volunteers.<br />
Lunch was a treat, especially with the sun breaking through the clouds chasing away the<br />
earlier threat <strong>of</strong> rain. We removed cars from the course beginning at 2:00 p.m. and staged<br />
for the Parade <strong>of</strong> <strong>Porsche</strong>s through downtown Waynesville at 2:30 p.m. Afterwards was a<br />
time for drives in the country or a lazy afternoon on the veranda <strong>of</strong> the Inn.<br />
The evening reception began at 5:00 p.m. and featured tastings <strong>of</strong> Adobe Road wine served<br />
by Martin Steger (TRG) and beer donated by Heinzelmannchen Brewery with Dieter Kuhn<br />

serving three different draft beers. This was the first year we’ve included a beer tasting at<br />
IDB and Heinzelmannchen Brewery and Dieter were a big hit with the group.<br />
The Awards Banquet began at 6:30 p.m. After a nice dinner David recognized the planning<br />
team, sponsors and donations to the event. Martin Steger spoke about the racing activities<br />
at TRG. Following Martin was our featured speaker, Stan Amerson, <strong>Porsche</strong> Cars North<br />
<strong>America</strong>, After Sales Manager. Stan spoke about the new <strong>Porsche</strong> Headquarters facility<br />
being built in Atlanta and the continuing upgrade to <strong>Porsche</strong> technician’s certification processes.<br />
Stan also spoke about his enjoying the event and being able to reconnect with old<br />
friends. Stan commented afterwards that he was, “honored to have been with a group <strong>of</strong><br />
People that truly define <strong>Porsche</strong>’s Passion”. Awards for the event were distributed, along<br />
with a drawing to determine Raffle winners and Silent Auction results were announced. David<br />
closed the banquet agenda by thanking everyone for their participation, their donations<br />
to Sarge’s, and to be safe on their return home.<br />
<strong>Carolinas</strong> Mountain Area members Ron Becker, David Butler, Joe Esposito, Mario de Francisco,<br />
Bob Herrmann, Scott Jordan, Dick Maybach and Matthew Pohsweg served on the IDB<br />
2012 planning team. In addition, Van Becker, Jeff Scott, Doug Smith, Travis Penland and<br />
Jim Peterson served in a support capacity and their assistance is appreciated very much.<br />
Response was overwhelmingly positive again this year. Many participants commented on<br />
the laid back atmosphere, the beautiful location and stunning display <strong>of</strong> the cars on the golf<br />
course with mountains serving as a backdrop. The dates <strong>of</strong> August 9-11, 2013 are already<br />
on the calendar for next year; make plans now to join us.<br />

Don’t Always Believe<br />
The Weather Forecast.<br />
By Sean Steinbrueck<br />
Sunday Sept. 16, was a strange day. This<br />
would be the first time, that I can remember<br />
having a potential rainout at an Autocross<br />
event. Cari and I have been doing Autocross<br />
for 4 years now. Approximately 22 events.<br />
Up until today, we had never had it rain at<br />
one <strong>of</strong> our events.<br />
At 6:00 a.m. Sunday morning the Doppler<br />
Radar showed it was raining down at Charlotte<br />
Knights Stadium, and the weather<br />
forecast was 40-50% rain all day. Neither<br />
<strong>of</strong> us really wanted to putt-putt around in<br />
the rain. So we made the decision to leave<br />
the car and trailer at home, and just bring<br />
all the timing equipment down and run the<br />
event. Rain or shine. Right<br />
By the time we got there at 7:00 a.m. the<br />
rain stopped. Checking the weather again<br />
still showed 40-50% rain. At about 8:00<br />
a.m. the sky was almost all clear. Weather<br />
forecast still showed 40-50% rain all day.<br />
Another hour goes by, and we are getting<br />
ready to start the event. Still clear sky, and<br />
all <strong>of</strong> a sudden weather forecast shows<br />
0% chance for the next 3 hours. BUT 60%<br />
chance around 1 pm.<br />
So, now Cari and I have to make a decision.<br />
Does one <strong>of</strong> us run back home and<br />
get the car & trailer or not We both come<br />
to the same conclusion & Cari takes <strong>of</strong>f to<br />
get the Car, while I start running the event.<br />
Now, we are in a time crunch. We know it’s<br />
almost certainly going to rain in the afternoon.<br />
So I push to get as many Dry runs for<br />
everyone as possible before lunch.<br />
Knock on wood, we did okay. Everyone<br />
got 5 runs in before lunch. Never before<br />
have we had an event where we got both<br />
run groups 5 runs, BEFORE lunch. And as<br />
luck would have it, just after we finished<br />
lunch and started the event back up, the<br />
rain came. Unfortunately, we didn’t have<br />
enough Umbrellas for the corner workers,<br />
and they were getting soaked. So, we<br />
called it a day after the first group was going<br />
on their 7th run.<br />
Everyone seemed pretty positive that we<br />
made the best <strong>of</strong> a potential crummy day.<br />
Getting 5 dry runs finished on a day that began<br />
with rain and ended with rain, wasn’t<br />
too bad.<br />
A few interesting notes for this event:<br />
We had a new couple join the autocross<br />
this weekend. Joan Carney and her husband<br />
Kevin brought out their Red Cayman<br />
S. Since this was Joan’s First Autocross,<br />
Walter was in the car coaching as she navigated<br />
the course. The First Lap, she was<br />
taking it easy. Then she decided to let Walter<br />
driver her car, with her as a passenger,<br />
to get a better feel for the course and to<br />
see what her car was capable <strong>of</strong>. He threw<br />
down a very fast lap time <strong>of</strong> 52.5 seconds.<br />
After they switched back, on her very next<br />
run she dropped 13 seconds <strong>of</strong>f her previous<br />
lap. By the end <strong>of</strong> the day, she dropped<br />
30 seconds from her first run. Outstanding.<br />
The best part was the grin she had on her<br />
face after each run. That is what Autocross<br />
is all about.<br />
Wayne Capwell, Ken Clayton and Andy Rutledge<br />
were dead set on breaking my FTD<br />
winning streak this year. Wayne set the bar<br />
almost immediately, with a 49.465 on his<br />
2nd lap. Ken then one-upped Wayne with<br />
a 49.058.<br />
On Wayne’s last “DRY” run, he was able to<br />
knock a little more time <strong>of</strong>f and finish with<br />
a 49.014, which again, appeared to be the<br />
Fastest Time <strong>of</strong> the Day.<br />
Unfortunately, for Wayne, there was one<br />
driver who was also gunning for FTD. Gregg<br />
Henderson joined our autocross event for<br />
the first time in his “Very Well Prepped”<br />
Miata and finished the day with a blistering<br />
48.966. Taking the Men’s Fastest Time <strong>of</strong><br />
the Day (FTD).<br />
…Oh Yea…<br />
Cari wound up making it back with our car<br />
and trailer around 11:00. We unloaded<br />
quickly and she got in line to grab a few runs<br />
before the run group switched. Neither <strong>of</strong><br />
us had much <strong>of</strong> an idea <strong>of</strong> the course layout<br />
because <strong>of</strong> all the chaos in the morning.<br />
But, we each managed to squeeze in 3 dry<br />
laps before the sky fell.<br />
Cari pushed hard enough to get down to a<br />
52.132, in just 3 laps, and secured the ladies<br />
FTD... “Nice job, Honey.”<br />
I wasn’t so fortunate. My morning wasn’t<br />
going well to start, because <strong>of</strong> the stress<br />
<strong>of</strong> a potential wet event, trying to get the<br />
event setup quickly, trying to get everyone<br />
as many runs as we could before the rain,<br />
“what time was the pizza coming”, would it<br />
get here before it rained, leaving the car at<br />
home (Why did I do that), and <strong>of</strong> course<br />
hoping Cari remembered how to hook up<br />
the trailer correctly while being in a hurry to<br />
get back. My mind just wasn’t in it. I DNF’d<br />
my first two runs. Then on my 3rd run, I got<br />
a 50 sec lap but, + 1 cone which came out<br />
to 52.726. Uggg.<br />
I wished I could have gotten more runs,<br />
because, I started to settle down after the<br />
3rd run. And get my head in the game. But,<br />
alas, it was my own stupid fault for leaving<br />
the car at home.<br />
So, the moral <strong>of</strong> the story is; Bring your<br />
Car. RAIN OR SHINE. Because, the weather<br />
forecast is not always accurate. Actually,<br />
it’s usually wrong, about 75% <strong>of</strong> the time.<br />
Man, I wish I could work where I only had<br />
to be right 25% <strong>of</strong> the time, and still keep<br />
my job.<br />

Doug Smith<br />
I’m Doug Smith and I’d<br />
like to introduce myself as<br />
the candidate for <strong>Region</strong><br />
President in the upcoming<br />
election. I joined the club<br />
in 2008 and promptly attended my first<br />
Mountain Area meeting and scheduled my<br />
first <strong>PCA</strong> Driver’s Ed event. I also signed up<br />
for the Fall Tour 2008 and my wife, Ro, and<br />
I had a great drive and met more members<br />
and friends. Before I knew it, I joined the<br />
Sommerfest (<strong>Porsche</strong>fest) 2009 planning<br />
committee and had begun my path down<br />
the slippery slope <strong>of</strong> club participation. I<br />
joined the region board as a staff member<br />

The voting cut-<strong>of</strong>f date<br />
is November 10th.<br />
in 2009 and joined the executive committee<br />
as Vice President in 2010. I have<br />
worked on the <strong>Region</strong>’s member survey the<br />
past few years and worked with a group <strong>of</strong><br />
members to help plan and facilitate the<br />
new “opt-out” policy for the mailed copy <strong>of</strong><br />
Tobacco Roads - which has the potential to<br />
significantly reduce the club’s largest single<br />
line item expense. I’ve quickly realized that<br />
club participation returns what you’re willing<br />
to put into it - and for me, it’s been tremendous<br />
fun, a bit <strong>of</strong> hard work, and most<br />
importantly I’ve met lot’s <strong>of</strong> new friends. In<br />
the daytime, I work for IBM from my home<br />
<strong>of</strong>fice in Black Mountain where we leverage<br />
vast amounts <strong>of</strong> marketing data, advanced<br />
analytic techniques, and data mining to<br />
help IBM deliver the best products and services<br />
to our clients. I feel honored to be<br />
considered for this important role and I’ll do<br />
my best to serve the club’s best interests<br />
and its members. I look forward to meeting<br />
you at our next club event and I’d appreciate<br />
your support in the upcoming election.<br />
- For Vice-President,<br />
Matt Pohsweg<br />
As an introduction, I’m<br />
Matt Pohsweg, and I’ve<br />
been nominated for the<br />
position <strong>of</strong> Vice-President,<br />
having served as Secretary<br />
for these past 2 years. My <strong>PCA</strong> membership<br />
goes back to the early 1990’s, originally as<br />
a member <strong>of</strong> the Peachstate <strong>Region</strong>, before<br />
moving to North Carolina, and reside in the<br />
Mountain Area. I had the opportunity to join<br />
the Planning Teams for <strong>Porsche</strong>fest 2009 &<br />
2010, and In den Bergen for the past number<br />
<strong>of</strong> years. As Secretary, I chaired the Bylaws<br />
Re-write Committee, which undertook<br />
the task <strong>of</strong> incorporating the foundation<br />
<strong>of</strong> the National <strong>PCA</strong> bylaws, reflecting the<br />
uniqueness <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong> organizational<br />
structure with 8 geographic areas,<br />
and complying with applicable NC Statute<br />
governance. The rewritten Bylaws were effective<br />
7/1/2012, and I’m continuing to<br />
chair the Committee, with the goal <strong>of</strong> re-writing<br />
the <strong>Region</strong>’s Policy & Procedures. I feel<br />
it an honor and privilege to be nominated<br />
to this position, feel fortunate to have met<br />
so many members already, the establishment<br />
<strong>of</strong> new friendships, and look forward to<br />
meeting you at future events. Please vote in<br />
the upcoming election.<br />

since 2000, a member since 2002, and<br />
have been active in the <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong> for<br />
the past 10 years. I have assisted with hosting<br />
2 <strong>Region</strong>al holiday parties and the 2005<br />
Spring Tour along with numerous other area<br />
drives, autocross events and other <strong>PCA</strong> related<br />
functions within the Triad Area. In 2004,<br />
I was bitten by the “autocross” bug and became<br />
an avid competitor and since 2004<br />
have missed only one autocross event.<br />
In June, 2007, I became Goodie Store<br />
Chair and joined the <strong>Region</strong> Board. Since<br />
becoming a board member, I have not<br />
missed a Board meeting. As Goodie Store<br />
Chair, we have steadily increased the sales<br />
volume and service to the <strong>PCA</strong> members.<br />
In 2009, I started the Triad Area’s “Girls in<br />
<strong>Porsche</strong>s” (GIP) group. GIP’s have monthly<br />
meetings with the purpose <strong>of</strong> having fun<br />
while promoting <strong>PCA</strong> club activities along<br />
with the opportunity to provide support to<br />
local charities. I also served on the Bylaws<br />
Committee (2010-2011) during the re-write<br />
and approval process <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong><br />
Bylaws and continue on the committee<br />
for the purpose <strong>of</strong> re-writing the <strong>Region</strong>’s<br />
Policy and Procedures.<br />
It is an honor and a privilege to be nominated<br />
as secretary. I am passionate about the<br />
club and have a strong desire to continue<br />
to contribute. Ballots are now out. Please<br />
vote. Thank you for your support.<br />

per year that we can put in the bank to <strong>of</strong>fset other club<br />
expenses (ie, Autocross,Christmas Party,etc). As mentioned<br />
in other publications TR is the biggest expense,averaging<br />
3.00 per copy.<br />
We’re announcing an exciting new option to receive your copy<br />
<strong>of</strong> Tobacco Roads - we’ll be <strong>of</strong>fering “electronic-only” delivery.<br />

Driver’s Education Update<br />
by Brian Powell<br />
And for Desert<br />
If our earlier trips to CMP and AMP were the appetizer and salad, then this month we finished <strong>of</strong>f the entree. We had<br />
102 drivers join us at Carolina Motorsports Park over the September 8-9 weekend to enjoy the fall Drivers Education<br />
event. While Saturday was typical summer weather with a late afternoon shower, Sunday was a perfect fall day to enjoy<br />
outdoors at the track. We had 5 drivers signed <strong>of</strong>f for the solo group with Troy Anderson, Paul Lueskow, John Marshall,<br />
Ben Mucci and Fernando Pena all getting their check out ride to advance to the White group. These drivers have had<br />
several weekends <strong>of</strong> in-car and classroom instruction; having demonstrated the knowledge and skills required to advance.<br />
So for your choice <strong>of</strong> deserts, registration is open for both <strong>of</strong> our upcoming dates. On October 27-28th, we will hold<br />
Drivers Education in conjunction with the Hawk <strong>Carolinas</strong> Challenge. DE Solo/Instructor and DE Student run groups<br />
will join the weekend’s activities, sharing the schedule with the Sprint and Enduro races. With the races, car show,<br />
karting and other festivities, there’s something for everyone at Carolina Motorsports Park. While it may be a few days<br />
before Halloween, I’m sure there will be some ghosts and goblins about.<br />
Saving the best for last, we’ll be returning to Virginia International Raceway on November 16th-18th for our 3-day<br />
season finale. This is the largest <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong> event by far. Last year we hosted over 230 drivers from Florida<br />
to Massachusetts. VIR is a fun, historic facility hidden away outside Danville, Virginia, although most folks would call<br />
Milton, NC the real address <strong>of</strong> the facility. We drive the Full Course for the event, which has 17 turns and lots <strong>of</strong> elevation<br />
changes spread out across the 3.27 mile track. In our typical format, Saturday and Sunday will <strong>of</strong>fer student<br />
and solo groups, while Friday is a solo-only day. We’ll<br />
gather on Saturday evening for the year end reception,<br />
enjoying food and drink to put the wraps on another<br />
great DE year.<br />

Greetings to all from Hickory!<br />
We had another very good meeting with 24 in attendance. We had<br />
two 1st time members in attendance, Reg Williams, who owns a 2007<br />
GT3 and Mike Sigmon who owns a 06 Carrera S 997. Our 50/50<br />
drawing raised $45.00 for the Hickory Soup Kitchen in Hickory. Our<br />
monthly door prize was a <strong>PCA</strong> T shirt awarded to Bryson Kiser.<br />
We have planned a Drive and Dine for November 3rd at the Gable<br />
Haus B&B in Linville, owned by a <strong>PCA</strong> member. See www.gablehausinn.com<br />
for a preview. The plan is to leave <strong>Porsche</strong> <strong>of</strong> Hickory at<br />
2PM. Please see the advertisement in this month’s Tobacco Roads.<br />
Several <strong>of</strong> our area members participated on the recent DE at Kershaw,<br />
SC. Michael Vottorio shared his experience at CMP Drivers Education,<br />
along with an on track video. We discussed the advantages<br />
and dangers <strong>of</strong> Drivers Ed and Encouraged participation in the Autocross<br />
as an alternative drivers experience.<br />
We had 5 cars and 8 people on our Drive and Dine. Mark and Kim<br />
came all the way from Spartanburg SC, Cliff and Fariba came Mooresville.<br />
We started at <strong>Porsche</strong> <strong>of</strong> Hickory and took back roads to Blowing<br />
Rock. Since the ladies wanted to spend some time there our trip to<br />
Wilkesboro was shortened.<br />
Heads up: the Goodie Store will be in Hickory in October, so bring your<br />
check books!<br />
This will be Sadie and Jerry’s last year <strong>of</strong> running the Goodie store,<br />
and we do not know when it will come again so make sure to get what<br />
you want now.<br />
Enjoy the ride,<br />

Mountain Area By David Butler<br />
Meeting: First Saturday <strong>of</strong> the month at 10:00am<br />
Harmony Motors, 621 Brevard Road, Asheville, NC<br />
Check monthly area report for location changes.<br />

mountain-ad@ carolinas-pca.com (828) 252-1752<br />
The Mountain Area meeting on September 1 began in north Asheville<br />
for a planned drive over area mountain roads. After IDB concours preparation<br />
on my C2S and planning and closeout activities, I just wanted to<br />
get out on the road and enjoy my car. I was joined by thirteen members<br />
in nine cars who seemed to have the same idea.<br />
We began the day traveling north on Elk Mountain Scenic Hwy. This<br />
route begins less than a mile <strong>of</strong>f Merrimon Avenue, an immediate transition<br />
from neighborhood to mountain roads. It was a welcome surprise<br />
for those not familiar with the north Asheville area. This led us up where<br />
we approached the Blue Ridge Parkway but just short <strong>of</strong> the BRP we<br />
went back down into the valley towards Barnardsville. After a run west<br />
on I-26 and US 19N towards Burnsville we turned onto US 19W North.<br />
This is an interesting and fun drive with roads tracing beside creeks,<br />
through valleys and beautiful mountain roads. Lots <strong>of</strong> sweeping turns<br />
as well as tight turns sweeping up and down as you go through the<br />
mountains. US 19W North intersects I-26 in TN where we began our<br />
drive back to Asheville. While not as interesting a drive it sure is beautiful<br />
and relaxing coming over the mountains from TN to NC on a pretty<br />
sunny day.<br />
We stopped at the TN welcome center for a break. A that point a few<br />
went on to Asheville and others stopped and enjoyed lunch in Weaverville<br />
at the Jack <strong>of</strong> Hearts.<br />
Our next meeting is on October 6 at 2:00 p.m. until 4 p.m. Perry Stewart<br />
is hosting a Wine and Cheese Social and presenting a <strong>Porsche</strong><br />
Heritage presentation. Hopefully the wine and cheese might interest<br />
spouses and the presentation is to show why most <strong>of</strong> us have such a<br />
passion for <strong>Porsche</strong>s. RSVP requested, please see the Calendar on the<br />
<strong>Carolinas</strong> website for location and RSVP details.<br />
Also, I’ve sent information out to the Mountain Area and Area Directors<br />
for the “Saluting our Veterans” car show on Saturday November 3<br />
(10am-2pm) on the grounds <strong>of</strong> the VA Hospital in Asheville. Please support<br />
this event; it benefits local veterans and their children. Entrance<br />
fee is $10 plus one unwrapped toy. The organizers are presenting an<br />
award for the Best Represented Car <strong>Club</strong>. With Mountain and possibly<br />
Hickory and Upstate members participating, we could make a real impact<br />
at this event.<br />
Hope to see you at a future event.<br />

On Saturday, Sept 1 a group from Sandhills linked up with a couple<br />
<strong>of</strong> Triangle Area guys at Pic-N-Pig BBQ in Carthage for lunch. We<br />
had a surprise guest join us… a “barn find” 1960 356 Super<br />
Cab. It is owned by Larry Wilson and was on its way to his shop in<br />
Florida for complete restoration. Larry is a collector and successful<br />
vintage racer from <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong>. The plan for this numbers<br />
matching 356 is to compete at the Amelia Island Concours next<br />
March.... an aggressive schedule! Thanks to Steve Gaddy for arranging<br />
the logistics to show it to us.<br />
We continue to add a couple new members a month to our Area<br />
roster. The next dinner meeting is Sept 25 at Theos Taverina in<br />
the Village <strong>of</strong> Pinehurst. We are trying some new dinner meeting<br />
venues and members seem to like the variety, Thanks to Larry and<br />
Deloris Lassiter for arranging this months dinner meeting. Stay<br />
tuned to our blog at www.sandhillsporsches.tumblr.com for next<br />
months venue.<br />
On November 3 we have tech session at RTR Racing in Aberdeen.<br />
They will demonstrate a chassis dyno using my GT3 and a<br />
couple <strong>of</strong> members cars. Just across the driveway is Vintage and<br />
Modern European Service. Owner Rick Mirabito will have an open<br />
house for us after the dyno exercises.<br />

The Triad Area rotated back to Big Shotz Tavern in Clemmons for<br />
the September 18th monthly meeting and we had 48 members<br />
and guest attend. We were pleased to see first time attendee Ann<br />
Craven (B.J.’s wife) along with Triad Area member Eugene Reaves<br />
(home for a visit from his job in China) at our meeting. The group<br />
sang Happy Birthday to Charles Branch who celebrated a birthday<br />
in September and treated Charles to a free Birthday desert. We<br />
also recognized Triad members Dave and Fran Lumpkin (35 years)<br />
and Mark Dole (10 years) on their <strong>PCA</strong> membership anniversaries.<br />
Will Taylor passed along information on a “Cars for a Cause” charity<br />
sports car event and Sue Burkett thanked those <strong>PCA</strong> members<br />

September Review<br />
Triangle Area BBQ Run to Carthage – On Saturday, September 1st,<br />
we had a Triangle Area BBQ Run after the Waverly Place Car Show in<br />
Cary. We visited out favorite BBQ place (the Pik ‘n Pig) in Carthage<br />
and met up with our friends from the Sandhills Area <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Carolinas</strong><br />
<strong>Region</strong>. They brought with them a friend who had just picked up<br />
a 356 that had been sitting in a garage since the 1960s that he<br />
planned to restore and show at Amelia Island next year. The drive<br />
was beautiful and sunny, and the attendees had a great time. Special<br />
thanks to Martin Salas for once again leading us on some awesome<br />
back country roads to Carthage.<br />
ALMS at VIR – A true high point <strong>of</strong> the month was the <strong>America</strong>n Le<br />
Mans Series race at VIR, September 12-15 at Virginia International<br />
Raceway in Alton, VA. The weather was perfect and I spent two days<br />
there, witnessing the practice sessions on Friday and the main event – Bob<br />
October 2012 - Page 25<br />
on Saturday afternoon. It was amazing to meet the drivers <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Flying Lizard GT race team at the <strong>Porsche</strong>Platz hosted by the Blue<br />
Ridge <strong>Region</strong> <strong>PCA</strong>. I also had the opportunity to join dozens <strong>of</strong> other<br />
<strong>PCA</strong> members on parade laps just prior to the race on Saturday. Any<br />
opportunity to drive that amazing road course is an amazing experience.<br />
The best part about attending a pr<strong>of</strong>essional race at VIR<br />
is that the drivers and teams are at an arm’s length from you at<br />
given time, and you get to see and feel what they’re experiencing<br />
first hand. The weather couldn’t have been better, and I enjoyed<br />
every moment. Several friends/<strong>PCA</strong> members <strong>of</strong> <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong><br />
and Hurricane region were there with me, and we had two great days<br />
at the track. Based on the drivers’ comments and the feedback<br />
from Track Director, Kerrigan Smith, the ALMS will return again in<br />
2013. I hope you’ll mark the dates in your calendar when they’re<br />
announced. It’s well worth your time and a truly unique experience.<br />
<strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong> Autocross Event at Charlotte Knights Stadium – I<br />
participated in the <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong>’s Autocross event on Sunday,<br />
September 16th. I’m always impressed by the great people who participate,<br />
the quality <strong>of</strong> the drivers, as well as the how well the event<br />
is administered every time. This is my 3rd event this year and my<br />
second year participating in the <strong>Carolinas</strong> <strong>Region</strong>’s Autocross Series,<br />
and I’ve managed to win 2nd place in my class (P05) twice. While<br />
it’s a 2.5 hour drive to the event from the Cary/Apex area, I wouldn’t<br />
miss it. The time flies by because every run is so exciting, and I also<br />
get to participate in running the event. Every driver is asked to work<br />
the flag stations or the paddock area, and it really makes you feel<br />
like a key contributor to the fun. The cars are also amazing to watch<br />
as they fly through the course. If you’ve never participated before, I<br />
strongly encourage you to do so in the future. The next event is listed<br />
above and it takes place at the Greensboro Coliseum, only 1.5 hours<br />
from the Raleigh area. It costs very little, and lunch is provided for<br />
this 8am to 2pm event.<br />
Lastly, for you track junkies, I hope you’ll register for the <strong>Carolinas</strong><br />
<strong>Region</strong> <strong>PCA</strong> Drivers Ed at VIR, November 16-18. Registration is open<br />
now at www.clubregistration.net, and this event fills up quickly. If you<br />
want more information about drivers ed events and what you can<br />
expect, please give me or Brian Powell (Track Committee Co-Chair) a<br />
call or send us an e-mail. Brian’s email is driversed@carolinas-pca.<br />
com.<br />
That’s if for this month. I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming<br />
event. Please note that I will be away at the Chump Car Southeastern<br />
Championship at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on October 13th,<br />
racing with my team. But, I encourage you to attend either the autocross<br />
event or the tech session at Leith that weekend (if you’re not<br />
also going to be at the Chump Car race).<br />
Have a great month, everyone.
Upstate Area By John Budinich<br />
Meeting: First Monday <strong>of</strong> the month at 6:30pm<br />
Quaker Steak & Lube, 10 Chrome Drive<br />
Greenville, SC<br />
Contact John Budinich, Area Director<br />
upstate-ad@ carolinas-pca.com (864) 915-0011<br />
Our September 10th meeting was very well attended with just over<br />
40 members present. The 21 <strong>Porsche</strong>s lined up in the parking<br />
lot drew a great deal <strong>of</strong> attention. The Upstate Area continues it’s<br />
growth trend as we added 7 new members / family members last<br />
month alone. As the meeting date was changed due to a conflict<br />
with Labor Day, Quaker Steak & Lube had us in a different room.<br />
While this room was bigger and had a few other amenities in its<br />
favor, it was a bit noisy. We should be back in our normal meeting<br />
room going forward.<br />
John Babinski, Driver’s Education Committee Co-Chair, reported on<br />
the Driver’s Education event held at Carolina Motorsports Park on<br />
9/8-9. John said the event was very well attended with over 100<br />
participants, the weather was perfect and a number <strong>of</strong> blue group<br />
drivers showed they are ready to move up to the next group. Those<br />
in attendance are looking forward to the “Main Event” on 11/16 –<br />
18 at Virginia International Raceway.<br />
Robert Andrews gave an update on his participation at In Den Bergen.<br />
He said the weather was ideal, there was a large turnout <strong>of</strong><br />
fantastic <strong>Porsche</strong>s and the event was extremely well run. Congratulations<br />
to David Butler and the Mountain Area members who put<br />
on a great event every year. If you missed this year’s event, make<br />
sure to put it on your 2013 calendar. In addition to the news <strong>of</strong> the<br />
event, Robert also shared some other news - he got engaged while<br />
at the event. Congratulations to Robert and his bride to be, Sandy<br />
Sheller.<br />
Kelle and John Corvin announced they will once again be hosting<br />
the Upstate Area Holiday Party at their house in Greer, SC. The date<br />
for the party is Saturday, December 15th. The party will follow the<br />
same format as previous years, a night <strong>of</strong> friends, fun and our annual<br />
charity auction. An email with the details for this event will be<br />
sent out as soon as they are finalized. I will also include the details<br />
in next month’s Area Report in TR.<br />
Two other items <strong>of</strong> note were discussed at the September meeting.<br />
An informal group is forming to share information and have technical<br />
discussions regarding the older 911. This group is made up <strong>of</strong><br />
members who enjoy working on their own vehicles and will focus<br />
on the air-cooled, non-computer assisted models. If you are interested<br />
in participating in this group, send me a note and I can hook<br />
you up or come to the October meeting and join their discussion<br />
group. Finally, we are starting to plan a Fall Drive & Dine for either<br />
late October or early November. It was suggested that we head to a<br />
great, authentic German restaurant, Gasthaus Zur Elle in Prosperity,<br />
SC. Once we find a “<strong>Porsche</strong> Friendly” route from the Greenville<br />
area to Prosperity, we will send out the details.<br />
As a reminder, there are some major events coming up over the<br />
next few months. I encourage all members to check these out and<br />
register as soon as possible. These include: 9/23 - Fall Tour in Banner<br />
Elk, NC; 10/19-21 - EURO Auto Festival at the BMW Zentrum<br />
in Greer, SC; 11/16-18 - Driver’s Ed at VIR and 12/1 – <strong>Region</strong>al<br />
Holiday Party, Crown Plaza Hotel, Hickory, NC. Look for complete<br />
details <strong>of</strong> these and other events in Tobacco Roads or on the <strong>Carolinas</strong><br />
<strong>Region</strong> web site.<br />
