The Bahn Stormer - Rally Sport Region - Porsche Club of America

By Jim Christopher,Rally Sport RegionPresidentDecisions, DecisionsAs President, my role can be largely one of facilitator– bringing matters to the Board for discussion andmoving the proceedings forward. The last club meetingwas very productive and particularly insightful withsome new faces making valuable contributions to thediscussion – Tom Bloom, Dave Cooper, Ken Knight,Fran Lanciaux, Mark Seski, and Trent Warnke wereall, relatively, new faces at the meeting. There wasimportant, national-level, business to discuss; specificallyto vote on propositions to increase monthly duesfrom $42.00 to $46.00 as well as to approve an initiativefor the PCA to purchase a building from whichto conduct Club business – in lieu of the existingcondition of paying rent. After significant discussion,the Board voted unanimously against both of thesepropositions. As RSR President, I am a member ofthe National PCA Board of Directors – based on theour local Board’s decision, I will cast my vote accordingly.Dan Gaulin has been a tremendous asset to our clubcontributing as Board Member and Track Registrarfor a number of years. Recently, Dan has started anew business and even more recently found he isto be a father…again! With the recent changes inhis life Dan has graciously accepted the invitation tostep down from his current Board Member position.Michael Kimber has accepted the Board’s nominationand will replace Dan. Dan has been and continues tobe a great contributor to the club and a great friend.Thanks Dan and congratulations!ToysI would gather that most of us would consider ourPorsches as simply big toys. A couple of weeks agoI had the opportunity to see a totally cool flash drive.I was off my meds that day and the voices told me Ihad to have one…. For the technically challengeda flash drive, sometimes called a jump drive, is aportable memory disk that connects to a computer’sUSB port and is capable of storing data. Jump drivesare used as an easy andsmall way to transfer orstore information from theircomputers – they have essentiallyreplaced the floppydisk…whew…. Okay, soback to the toys…here is apicture of one of my favoritetoys (on right)Now, check this out (just below) It is totally in keepingwith my philosophy of “why be normal” and acomplete pleasure to use inmeetings with conservativeclients. The drive is sold bya gent named David Hersh atFlashRods.com. Take a lookat his website: flashrods.com.(Editor’s note: See page 26for other examples.)Toy PartsApril 17th was the day of the multi-region swap meethosted by Suburban Porsche of Farmington Hills.Our hosts provided lunch, refreshments and a veryimportant heated, indoor setting for folks to hawk theirtreasures. I’m pretty sure all who attended felt theevent was a tremendous success. It was really greatto see venders and members from RSR, SMR andMSR regions as well as our PCA-Zone 4 representative.A special thanks to our hosts who graciouslyopened their facility and check book and the SMR forinitiating the event. We’re told the second annual,multi-region swap meet is a go for next year.Kumbayah – round the camp fireYou know…seems to me, a few months ago, I mentionedsomething about increasing the membership ofour region…. In recent weeks, I’ve had some time toreflect on that remark – especially so in light of somegreat dialog at our club meetings. So many times(Continued on Page 5)3

Ramblings From a Life With CarsBy SEM-PCA Member Tom FielitzWhen you were a kid did you have a few things thatwere special, things that were “keepers”? I had acigar box of little memorable objects, a marble, ticketsstub, baseball card, Dinky toy car and so on. As weget older the “keepers” change to things like lapelpins, watches, coins, post cards or pictures, or evenspare keys from cars we have owned. Some of usstart to “keep” bigger mementos such as the carsthemselves. One of my friends has several of thecars he calls his favorites, even though not all of themcurrently run. Other friends built separate garages tohouse a personal museum of Porsches. The reallybig time collectors fill warehouses with cars. The restof us make do with shelves of car models or drivinggame “garages” full of exotic cars we wished weowned.I have my own one car museum with the 911E Ibought on 9-11-72. I didn’t buy it with the idea that itwas the last Porsche I would own. I had owned twoPorsches before that point and have owned threeafter that but this one is a “keeper”. I’m not quite surewhen I decided I would keep this car and at severaltimes my garage held three Porches. None of theother Porsches I’ve owned was less desirable thanthis 911. Each one gave me equally good memories.So what could explain how I could give up the othercars but kept just this one? The Porsches were allmodified to my taste, something many people justcan’t resist doing. Over the years the modificationsadd up until you can convince yourself that no oneelse would want to own it anyway. More likely we lookat that statement of ourselves invested in our cars astoo personal to let go. It is far easier to let a car gothat was just transportation and the same as everyother car on the road. That feeling just doesn’t seemto apply to any Porsche I know.Now the keeper car we hang on to may be a car thathas long ago been passed by the modern Porscheowner. The newer models have surpassed it infeatures and performance. We can try to justify it toourselves as being economic reality that we can onlyafford our old keeper. If we had chosen to trade up toa new model on a regular, or more logical time table,maybe our keeper would more likely be a much newermodel. Certainly Porsche and Porsche dealerswould wish we had kept more current with our prizedPorsches. That still doesn’t explain the 38 year oldkeeper in my garage.Over this long period of years my 911 has continuallybeen modified, though I am too modest to claim it asimproved. Considerable money and effort was spenton a bigger motor, bigger wheels, brakes, body fares,fiberglass body parts, and on and on. The objectivewas not to add to the value of the car but to enhancethe driving experience. Without a doubt if it had beenkept totally stock it would have equal or better valueand certainly a larger audience of potential buyers.But that is for a different Porsche keeper than I am.My 911 started out back in 1972 as a competent trackcar and grand touring car. It never saw much grandtouring except to be driven to the classic tracks suchas Watkins Glen in New York and Elkhart Lake inWisconsin. For the first couple of years it was drivendaily to work. But over time it became too “Special”for that kind of duty and other cars were acquired fordaily use. But in the 38 years it has never missed ayear of being used at least once on a race track. Itjust seemed to always be in its natural element on thetrack, much more so than on the road. The bottomline is that this 911 is a keeper because it defines meas a Porsche owner in a way that no other model everwill. It isn’t abut style, performance or value. Thecar makes me feel good when I drive it. My dailydriver may be a recent model Corvette but it will neverreplace the old 911. The Corvette may also make mefeel really good when I drive it but it will always be thesecond car to my 911.The latest episode for my old 911, and the one thatprecipitated this dialogue, was the full re-painting ofthe car. Over the years bumpers were re-painted,fender flares added and the duck tail spoiler enginelid. But the rest of the car had what some generouslycall a patina. If the car had always been a personalmuseum piece or a totally original car, it might havejustified being left in original paint. But being a carthat was regularly mingled amongst newer keepers itdeserved an up to date paint job. The original painthad literally been polished to death. Age gave the(Continued on Page 13)11

(A Life With Cars -- From Page 11)car’s paint the human equivalent of liver spots. Itcould be polished up to the point of looking good at aclose distance but the flaws were still there for me tosee.Having a brother-in-law in the body shop businessmade the decision on a re-paint much easier. Hehad already painted my 914-6 GT and in that processhad restored the body well beyond the talents of thePorsche dealer that did the original work. He hadalso painted some other Porsches I knew to a betterthan factory quality, thereby demonstrating to me thateven paint technology had totally surpassed what Ihad accepted as perfection. It became a point of pridefor my brother-in-law that he get his hands on my old911 and make it right. He had the car over the Winterusing this job to fill in the slow time in the shop. Itwas also the opportunity to replace the pock markedwindshield and the age cracked rubber trim. Naturally,as one detail got fixed other details became moreobvious. But tempering the decision was the objectivethat this car was not going to live its life in a garage,nor was it being tarted up for quick sale. It would resumeits track life as it always had. It could have hada color change considering how totally involved the repaintprocess was. But that also didn’t seem to fit theimage of this car, the image that made it my “keeper”.parked next to it look almost dull in comparison. Thepatina is gone and with it the look of an original factorypaint job. To some that would detract from the valueinstead of enhance it. I choose not to be a slave tothe value of the car or to the comparison to the car’smarket value. The ultimate value of any collectibleshould be measured in the pleasure it gives you toown it at that minute of your life, and not what it will beworth when it belongs to someone else. Now, if youare really lucky, you will be able to dig out the cigarbox of boyhood treasures you meant to keep forever,or walk out to your garage and sit in that car you meanto keep forever.TomNow the car is back in its spot in the garage tuckedunder its old grey cotton twill car cover. It is the sameold keeper it always was, but with a modern paint job.The finish of the paint is remarkable with a modernSiekkens paint and a clear coat top finish that lookslike it would be wet to touch. It is a show car finishthat is so deep that it makes even a brand new carUpdate Your E-mail AddressIncreasingly the Rally Sport Region uses e-mail to remindmembers of upcoming events and, on occasion, announce last minutechanges or additions to the social calendar.

E-Watch -- Porsche Items Bought and Sold Over the InternetBy RSR Member Sebastian GaetaThe following items were auctioned on eBay in April of2010:4 FUCHS ALLOYS - 6X15Bids: 21 Sold for $910A set of four 6x15” Fuchsin good shape is almostan automatic sale at theswap meets and bringsmuch activity on eBay;these were obviously noexception. Was over $1,000with shipping a tall number? Well, yes, but one stopshopping for the whole set sometimes throws thriftinessout the window. These were the “flat” late versionwith production starting in January of ’75, part number911.361.020.10. Now, lets see what the early 911people are up to when it comes to early Fuchs wheelsthat are period correct for their cars:Bentley Boxster Service Manual 986 (’97-’04)Bought for $55 with the “BestOffer” FeatureIf you own a 986 and are likemost people in that you cando some repairs and maintenance,but not all, this is agreat manual to own. Armedwith this manual I have beenable to quickly decide whetheror not to proceed with aDIY project on the Boxster,or find the best tech to do thejob while knowing how long it should take. I boughtmine at near list and am still pleased with it, imaginegetting it for half off!Porsche 908 Model Decal Sheet1 Fuchs 6x15 Early Deep Dish WheelBids: 1 Sold for $400“Buy It Now”This is the early Fuchswheel correct for carscirca 1968-1969. The partnumber, 901.361.012.06,identifies it as an early“deep dish” wheel Theseare quite coveted by theearly 911 owners which explains the sale price of oneof these wheels being nearly half the selling price of aset of the four later, “flat” wheels. Let’s discuss the “flatand “deep dish” terminology. Both models of wheelshave a 36mm offsetand a 112mmbackspace; thedifference is onthe outward facingside of the wheel.See the photo ofthe cutout wheel,at right, to explainthe differences.Bids: 1 Sold for $5.99Really nothing specialhere, but I wanted toinclude it in case anyonewas wondering whereelse they have seen the“PORSCHE” decal alongthe bottom of thenew Boxster Spyder.Well, leave it toPorsche to recallits glorious past byusing the artworkfrom the 907 Langheck (long tail) andmore famously on the 908 (some 910‘s and 917’s carriedthe artwork as well, but it is most memorable onthe 908). I was pleasantly surprised to see this decalsheet available with suchgood detail. If you squinthard enough you can seethe correct decals in the upperright portion of the decalsheet.(Continued on Page 19)15

Perhaps you’re tired of the editor’s fascination withold California 356 Porsches. If so, move on because Ihave more to report.After last month’s issue went to “press,” and my wifeand I were enjoying the last few days of our Californiabreak, Kathy began to press me to try to find JackStaggs and his San Clemente Porsche 356 repairbusiness. I stalled on the subject, not sure that Jackwould be all that thrilled to chat with me and not surewhat I’d say to him. Kathy, however, can be gentlypersistent and eventually I agreed to try to find Staggs’garage. You may remember that the San ClementeTimes article reported that the garage had no sign,just two garage doors and a blue umbrella and that itwas somewhere off Calle Valle street.We asked a local where we could find Calle Vallestreet and off we went. After cruising one way alongthe several blocks of the street with no luck – I wasslightly relieved. Not to bedeterred my wife suggestedwe turn aroundand recheck from theopposite direction. Bingo– we found it in an instant– two garage doors and ablue umbrella.Jack Staggs with hisever present smile.Even More of The Rest of the StoryBy Bahn Stormer Editor Mike O’RearOk -- time to be charming. So,with a smile on my face, I walkeda little awkwardly up to the garagewhere four of five guys werehanging out and introduced myself.Of course I mentioned myrole as Editor of the Mid-West’sfamous Bahn Stormer. Just likethe San Clemente reporter said,the response was, “You want abeer?” I was introduced to twoother guests there that day, oneof which was Craig Richter, who, I was told, wrotethe definitive book on making 356s go fast, How ToMake An Old Porsche Fly. (I looked it up on Amazon.com and found it was out of print.) The atmospherewas more like a club event than a repair garage. Wechatted for several minutes, while Kathy, awestruckat seeing so much “stuff” everywhere, took picturesof the garage and cars. I ogled two very nice 356s,a cabriolet and a coupe, both up on floor jacks, onewith the engine and transmission removed. A lift is apparentlynot at all necessary if your business is limitedto working on 356s.Jack and I talked about myannual search for, and fascinationwith, the tan and primer356 (last month’s cover), withthe skull and cross bones markings. I also told Jackthat I had been put on to him by Sebastian Gaeta,a mid-western 356 owner and fan who knew whatthe skull and cross bones symbol meant. Not to mysurprise, the group recognized Sebastian (“He writesgood stuff in the 356 Registry”). Eventually, it wastime to leave and let the guys get back to their beers,but I told Jack that I would email him a copy of theBahn Stormer with his car on the cover.Jack’s logo flag.Well, I did send him theemail, and I received a quickresponse suggesting that Istop down and see “Appaloosa”the next day. And soI did, this time without Kathywho had run out of interestin 356 Porsches somewhatearlier than I would.There were different cars in the stalls, indicating tome that Jack actually works on the cars rather thanspending the entire day in discussion. Jack is obviously“California laid-back” butnevertheless productive. Twodifferent guys were chattingwith him – each holding abeer. As soon as Jack introducedme, one asked, “Wouldyou like a beer?” I could reallyget to like this place. Apparentlyyou don’t visit or hangaround Jack’s garage without bringing a six-pack ofbeer. Next year I’ll know.Not seeing the tan and primer 356 I reminded Jackthat I had come to accept his invitation to see “Ap-(Continued on Page21)17

The reason Iask is that the seller basically stated that “It was in thetrunk of my ’05 when I bought the car and what yousee is what you get” and “Sold as is with no guaranteethat it works”. So no mention of DVD’s or securitycodes and yet it received 15 bids. The sale price wasnot huge relative to parts counter prices, but that is alot of action on an item with no guarantee.

This past fall one of ourmembers had a serious accident which totaled hisbeloved 911. Upon checking with his Insurer it wasdiscovered that the Carrier put the words “On arace track” in their policy that excluded coverage.Fortunately, his agent failed to notify him of thechange and the company covered the vehicle. Everymember who chooses to drive his or her car onthe track, even in a D.E. event, should contact theiragent and verify their coverage. Some companiesspecialize in On-Track insurance and a few willcover you within a normal policy.I wholeheartedly recommend that if you intendto participate in track events then you needto get a “Spring Tune-up” on your insurancecoverage.19

Of course, I was willing.We jumped in a customer’scar, a lovely 912, andheaded for the hills, literally.Jack and his wife havea lovely home, nothing likethe garage, with a spectacularview of the Pacific.And beside the house wasAppaloosaparked Appaloosa. It isquite a machine and Jackassured me that it is his every day car. Since theonly other vehicles at his home were a Mazda6 andcustomer’s car that had asmall hole the rear of theheadliner. Jack struggledwith how to repair the damagedheadliner knowingthat a new replacement justwouldn’t have the properpatina. So, knowing theAppaloosa had an identical headliner, he cut out apiece to repair the customer’s car. This may partiallyexplain why if you live in Southern California, andhave a 356, Jack is the “go to” guy.Back to the garage we went, only to be greeted bya couple of new guests and the now familiar phrase,“Would you like a beer?” I begged off and left with mypictures and story. Jack Staggs sure knows how toenjoy life.So now you can relax -- no more articles on JackStaggs and his cars. Well, at least until next March.Photos by Mike & KathyO’Reara 356 Cabroliet with no wheels parked sideways inhis garage “Some day I’m going to restore it,” was hiscomment.
