President’s Column<br />
Bill Sampson<br />
The smoke has barely subsided from the July 4th<br />
celebrations and it is time to compose my August column.<br />
We have one busy <strong>club</strong>. That is a good, make that a great,<br />
thing.<br />
Hal & Terry Jandorf, fresh from their starring roles on the<br />
Speed Channel, will lead us once again on a stargazing trip on<br />
August 6. We will be at the very tall Mt. Piños on a very dark<br />
night enabling us to view our universe through telescopes<br />
provided by Hal and some <strong>of</strong> his friends. Bring your alternate<br />
vehicle to Camarillo in the morning, take a nap, and join us in the<br />
early evening in Frazier Park. See our website to sign up.<br />
After bringing your skateboard or other alternative vehicle to<br />
the Santa Barbara breakfast on August 13, treat your Porsche to<br />
a pr<strong>of</strong>essional inspection and yourself to some refreshments, all<br />
at no charge, courtesy <strong>of</strong> our friends at Rusnak Porsche Westlake.<br />
Member Appreciation Day is a benefit just for our <strong>club</strong>. See page<br />
6 for more information.<br />
The Progressive Dinner scheduled for August 27 is sold out.<br />
That is a good object lesson in the benefit <strong>of</strong> signing up early for<br />
<strong>club</strong> events. Activities Chairs Ted Lighthizer and Doreen Pankow<br />
report that there may be some openings to those on the wait list.<br />
Contact them if you’d like to be included.<br />
If you were slower than you wished, or, even if you set a new<br />
personal best at the July 31 autocross that will be history by the<br />
time you hold this publication in your eager hands, the <strong>club</strong> will<br />
furnish you another chance to prove your car handling skills at<br />
the September 17 autocross in Camarillo. See page 25 to sign up.<br />
Help, whether you drive or not, is always welcomed. Jeff Merrick<br />
and Jeff Parker always pitch in, as does very busy Activities Co-<br />
Chair Ted Lighthizer. Dan Byers and Martin Keller co-chair our<br />
five autocrosses this year.<br />
Driving in accordance with the California Vehicle Code will<br />
be <strong>of</strong>fered during the September 25 run to the infamous location<br />
<strong>of</strong> the death <strong>of</strong> 1950s icon James Dean at the intersection <strong>of</strong><br />
Highways 41 and 46 near Cholame. Kent Bodin will lead us on a<br />
trip to one <strong>of</strong> California’s more remote locales to commemorate<br />
the well known actor and Porsche racer. Wine tasting and an<br />
optional overnight stay in a local hotel are <strong>of</strong>fered. See page 18.<br />
As I write, I ponder, along with most Southern California<br />
motorists, “Carmageddon” on Interstate 405. Let’s hope traffic<br />
has cleared in time for you to read this magazine. I do know<br />
that the same day some <strong>of</strong> you will have become more adept at<br />
car detailing in preparation for the concours and some will have<br />
taken the extra step <strong>of</strong> being certified as judges. Thanks so much<br />
August <strong>2011</strong> <strong>•</strong> Santa Barbara Region <strong>•</strong> Porsche Club <strong>of</strong> America <strong>•</strong> www.pcasb.org<br />
to you and to co-chairs Carolyn Ewbank and Dick Douglass. Put<br />
your knowledge to work at the October 9 concours. See page 15<br />
for more information on the concours. Also, there will be a preconcours<br />
“Detail Clinic” on September 10 at Lavaggio (page 19).<br />
Since a winery tour will be included in the James Dean run, the<br />
planned October Harvest Tour has been postponed to 2012. It<br />
will sell out whenever we schedule it, so look for it next year.<br />
We are truly blessed in this <strong>club</strong> to have many members step<br />
forward to help make us the success that we are. The nominating<br />
committee <strong>of</strong> Mike Hodson, Janice Herndon and Nick Liakas<br />
has assembled a proposed slate <strong>of</strong> both elected and appointed<br />
board members that is very strong and is nearly complete. Nick<br />
has served as chair <strong>of</strong> and driving force behind our R.U.F. group<br />
since 2005. He will “retire” from this position at the end <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>2011</strong>. Those <strong>of</strong> you who have enjoyed (or who plan to enjoy)<br />
the monthly outings <strong>of</strong> this group should seriously consider<br />
becoming the chairperson <strong>of</strong> it. Yes, it will take some <strong>of</strong> your<br />
time. Your donation <strong>of</strong> that time and effort will assure R.U.F.’s<br />
continued existence. Without a chairperson the group and the<br />
outings will cease. Please let the nominating committee or me<br />
know <strong>of</strong> your interest and qualifications.<br />
The <strong>club</strong> sends its sincere condolences to member (and Der<br />
Auspuff printer) Mike Pomerantz, who lost his wife Adri to<br />
cancer on July 3.<br />
During composition <strong>of</strong> this column I attempted to email a<br />
member, who shall remain nameless. I checked our up-to-date<br />
roster (thank you Janice Herndon) and located his email address.<br />
The email bounced. PLEASE, when your address, phone, or<br />
email change, go to the PCA web site www.pca.org, sign in,<br />
highlight “Membership,” then highlight “Member Services,” then<br />
click on “Member Record.” Follow the instructions to update any<br />
information that needs changing. Our local records will reflect<br />
the new information, which is a big help to <strong>club</strong> leadership.<br />
Please indulge me here; you’re all invited to the free “Woodies<br />
at the Beach” on August 20, <strong>2011</strong> at Santa Barbara City College.<br />
Those who bring pre-1973 cars (yes, Porsches, too) will be<br />
afforded display parking on the lawn as space permits.<br />
From The Editor’s Desk<br />
John Alfenito<br />
R ead all about driving a new 997 on the<br />
German Autobahn at speeds reaching<br />
150 mph in this month’s edition. Three<br />
couples from our <strong>region</strong> went on a very<br />
memorable “Treffen” adventure. Part One<br />
<strong>of</strong> their story begins this month on page 10.<br />
If you’ve never tried a Gimmick Rally, hopefully Phil Reeese’s<br />
entertaining article on this year’s event will convince you to<br />
join us next year. Pam & I had a blast, with her driving and me<br />
“navigating.” We may not have scored well, but we didn’t get lost,<br />
so we’ve got that going for us.<br />
Bob Roe & Suzi Sheller went to the 100th Indianapolis 500<br />
with Andy Granatelli. Read all about it on page 21. And Hal<br />
& Terry Jandorf appeared on Speed Channel in the “Porsche<br />
Performance Series.” Find out more, and get a link to the video on<br />
page 23. Until next month...

JULY 2, <strong>2011</strong> <strong>•</strong> CAMARILLO BREAKFAST<br />
Fourth <strong>of</strong> July Weekend Starts In Style<br />
Story & Photos by John Alfenito<br />
The Fourth <strong>of</strong> July holiday weekend got <strong>of</strong>f to a rousing start<br />
as 142 members and guests arrived at The Way-Point Café<br />
for our Camarillo Breakfast. Seventy-two Porsches graced<br />
the lawn adjacent to the patio, including the twin Carrera GTs<br />
belonging to Tony & Rick Principe <strong>of</strong> Westlake Village (see cover).<br />
It’s always a treat to see one <strong>of</strong> the Porsche supercars in person; it’s<br />
especially fun to see two at once.<br />
SBR President Bill Sampson welcomed everyone and<br />
introduced Membership Chair Janice Herndon. Janice recognized<br />
new members Ron & Lavelle Consiglio <strong>of</strong> Oxnard and Tom &<br />
Audi Marshall <strong>of</strong> Camarillo. Also joining us for breakfast were<br />
prospective members James Bretherton <strong>of</strong> Westlake Village and<br />
Mike Siroll with his daughter, Maggie, from Santa Clarita. Also,<br />
from the Los Angeles Region, Jason, Justine and Joshua Zimmel<br />
from Canoga Park were among the guests.<br />
Activities Co-Chairs Doreen Pankow and Ted Lighthizer<br />
promoted the many upcoming SBR events (see page 26), reminding<br />
everyone to sign up early as our activities fill to capacity quickly.<br />
Another great breakfast meeting with more to come next<br />
weekend in Santa Barbara. =<br />

JULY 9, <strong>2011</strong> <strong>•</strong> SANTA BARBARA BREAKFAST<br />
A Royal Reception at Moby Dick’s<br />
Story & Photos by John Alfenito<br />
On the coincidental occasion <strong>of</strong> the Duke & Duchess<br />
<strong>of</strong> Cambridge’s visit to the Santa Barbara Polo Club in<br />
Carpinteria, many <strong>of</strong> our regular breakfast-goers opted<br />
to stay <strong>of</strong>f the roads, so our 33 members and guests had plenty<br />
<strong>of</strong> room to stretch out for our July SB gathering. President Bill<br />
Sampson introduced Activities Co-Chair Doreen Pankow, who<br />
was filling in for Membership Chair Janice Herndon (on vacation),<br />
and Doreen gave us the tally <strong>of</strong> 19 Porsches on the pier.<br />
Doreen also recognized new SBR member Tyler Tedeschi <strong>of</strong><br />
Goleta and his friend, Ellen Self, both <strong>of</strong> whom were attending<br />
their first <strong>club</strong> breakfast. We hope it will be just the first <strong>of</strong> many for<br />
them. Other guests this morning included Dan Byers’ son, Shane,<br />
and Linda & Don Kuckenbaker’s daughter, Kathryn Carbajal, and<br />
their granddaugher, Caroline Carbajal.<br />
Bill Sampson introduced Concours Co-Chair Dick Douglass,<br />
who presented his “Top Ten Reasons To Attend Concours Judges<br />
New member Tyler Tedeschi <strong>of</strong> Goleta and his guest Ellen Self<br />
attended their first <strong>club</strong> breakfast in their Boxster.<br />
School” the following weekend at Lavaggio’s in Agoura Hills. No<br />
mention <strong>of</strong> the impending “Carmageddon” was made, which was<br />
probably just as well, since we were all tired <strong>of</strong> hearing about the<br />
pending closure <strong>of</strong> the 405 freeway.<br />
Activities Co-Chair Ted Lighthizer listed the many SBR<br />
activities coming up on the calendar, including the “Porsches2Pinos<br />
2” stargazing tour scheduled for August 6. Our own Hal Jandorf,<br />
who will once again lead this expedition, spoke about his Speed<br />
Channel Porsche Performance Series show (see page 23), and the<br />
astronomy drive to Mt. Pinos. This event was very popular last year,<br />
which is why it’s making a return to the events schedule this year.<br />
Finally, Bill reminded everyone that Autocross season would<br />
begin on July 31 in Santa Barbara at Earl Warren Showgrounds.<br />
Then, we’ll set up the cones again, twice in Camarillo at the airport:<br />
first on September 17, then again on October 29 in a special “bonus”<br />
autocross to benefit our designated charity for <strong>2011</strong>, Habitat For<br />
Humanity. Everyone is encouraged to spread the word, and invite<br />
car friends (even non-<strong>club</strong> members) to join us on any or all <strong>of</strong><br />
these dates. =<br />

By David & Susan Stone<br />
Have you ever thought about<br />
visiting the birthplace <strong>of</strong><br />
Porsche? Driving the German<br />
Autobahn at high speed in<br />
a 911? Touring on back roads through<br />
the beautiful Austrian countryside and<br />
over the Alps? Sampling the local cuisine<br />
in ancient castles and farmhouses? Or<br />
visiting the original Porsche factory, the<br />
new factory and new Porsche museum?<br />
Recently, five SBR members and a guest<br />
did just that and more on an eightday<br />
“Treffen” (German for meeting),<br />
sponsored by PCA and Fast Lane Travel,<br />
Inc. <strong>of</strong> Clearwater, Florida. It was truly a<br />
bucket-list experience to remember and<br />
one that we’d like to share with you in this<br />
two-part story.<br />
Our adventure began in July 2010 at<br />
the Porsche Parade when I won a “Mini-<br />
Treffen” in one <strong>of</strong> the raffles held during<br />
the week. I had always dreamed <strong>of</strong> taking<br />
this special vacation, so Susan and I felt<br />
that it was now or never. I contacted the<br />
Treffen Meister, Peter Sontag <strong>of</strong> Fast Lane<br />
Travel, who encouraged us to expand the<br />
trip to the full week and schedule it for the<br />
spring <strong>of</strong> <strong>2011</strong>. Word <strong>of</strong> our plan spread<br />
among SBR members, and soon Randy &<br />
Sue Kinsling decided to join in the fun.<br />
As the time approached to depart, Steve<br />
Karolyi and friend Julie Tye also came on<br />
board.<br />
We decided to arrive in Stuttgart a<br />
day early to avoid the perils <strong>of</strong> jet lag on<br />
the first day <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>ficial itinerary. We<br />
checked into our hotel, the Steigenberger<br />
Graf Zeppelin, on Friday afternoon, April<br />
29th, which gave us time to explore the<br />
Konigstrasse, the main shopping avenue<br />
that’s perfect for strolling, eating and<br />
people-watching. It’s set amongst some <strong>of</strong><br />
Stuttgart’s most historic buildings. Peter<br />
arranged for a get-together dinner that<br />
evening in the cellar <strong>of</strong> a beautiful old<br />
restaurant in downtown Stuttgart, where<br />
10<br />
we dined on a variety <strong>of</strong> delicious entrees<br />
and side dishes, followed by a generous<br />
wine tasting session. This was the perfect<br />
opportunity to meet several other Treffen<br />
members who had also arrived early.<br />
Saturday included a tour <strong>of</strong> the new<br />
Mercedes Museum nearby, which not only<br />
showcases the many beautiful cars <strong>of</strong> the<br />
past but also provides an historic overview<br />
<strong>of</strong> world affairs at the time each model<br />
was introduced. That evening, we dined<br />
at the 12th century Dicker Turm Castle in<br />
Esslingen where we were joined by Jorg<br />
Austen, a retired Porsche executive and<br />
renowned author and engineer. During<br />
our week, he was a wealth <strong>of</strong> information<br />
about everything Porsche.<br />
On Sunday, May 1st, we departed our<br />
Stuttgart hotel for the 280-mile trip to<br />
Salzburg, Austria, in the new Porsches<br />
we had ordered. Most members <strong>of</strong> our<br />
two groups opted for a 911 C4S coupe,<br />
but a 911 S Cabriolet and a Panamera 4S<br />
were also chosen. One couple had taken<br />
European delivery <strong>of</strong> their Slate Grey<br />
Metallic C4S coupe the previous week,<br />
which provided a nice contrast to all <strong>of</strong><br />
our black cars.<br />
May 1st was a European holiday, and<br />
traffic was light. It was also Sunday when<br />
trucks are not allowed on the Autobahn.<br />

The Treffen group meets for its first dinner - Friday evening in Stuttgart<br />
This translated into wide-open “fast lane<br />
travel.” As we passed the no speed limit<br />
signs, we heard Peter tell us to “put the<br />
pedal to the metal” over our walkietalkies,<br />
and we did just that. Everyone<br />
was able to safely exceed 150 mph several<br />
times before again reaching the controlled<br />
sections <strong>of</strong> highway, and we were later<br />
rewarded with 150 MPH Club patches and<br />
stickers to commemorate the occasion. I<br />
can truly say that we have a new respect<br />
and appreciation for the performance<br />
capabilities <strong>of</strong> these new Porsches. They<br />
are simply incredible!<br />
The pack <strong>of</strong> Porsches hits the road
The Panamera gets crunched.<br />
Exiting the Autobahn, we drove a short<br />
distance on country roads and slowly<br />
approached a T-intersection controlled<br />
by a yield sign. Our lead car was the<br />
Panamera, which was unfortunately struck<br />
by a compact car approaching from the<br />
left and not seen by the Panamera driver<br />
(not one <strong>of</strong> us). Although the speed <strong>of</strong><br />
the oncoming compact car was relatively<br />
slow, the impact caused the front end <strong>of</strong><br />
the Panamera to seemingly explode, and<br />
it sustained what appeared to be major<br />
damage. Fortunately, no one was injured,<br />
and we were on our way within an hour.<br />
Due to the diligence <strong>of</strong> our Treffen Master,<br />
the Panamera was replaced with an<br />
identical car by the next morning.<br />
After lunch at the foot <strong>of</strong> the storybook<br />
Neuschwanstein Castle, we continued<br />
to Salzburg, checked into the Sheraton<br />
Hotel and relaxed. That evening, we<br />
enjoyed another delicious meal and<br />
a Mozart musical performance at St.<br />
Peter’s Keller, Europe’s oldest restaurant,<br />
founded in 803. We read that none other<br />
than Charlemagne himself dined at that<br />
location. What history! What a treat!<br />
On Monday, we enjoyed a 190-mile<br />
leisurely drive through the lovely Austrian<br />
countryside and an exhilarating drive over<br />
the highest pass in the Alps, stopping for<br />
lunch at a quaint, family-owned restaurant<br />
at the foot <strong>of</strong> a mountain. There we dined<br />
on venison and fresh trout that had been<br />
caught that morning and placed in an<br />
aquarium by the front door. Dessert<br />
consisted <strong>of</strong> fresh pastry, and no one went<br />
away hungry.<br />
We continued<br />
on to the village<br />
<strong>of</strong> Gmund, home<br />
<strong>of</strong> the original<br />
Porsche factory.<br />
We were provided<br />
a tour <strong>of</strong> the small<br />
wooden structure<br />
that was the<br />
gatehouse, <strong>of</strong>fice<br />
and conference<br />
room by the owner<br />
and caretaker, Mr.<br />
Helmut Pfeifh<strong>of</strong>er,<br />
who controls<br />
access to the building, which is now a<br />
protected historical landmark. We were<br />
surprised to find Ferdinand and Ferry<br />
Porsche’s desk and chair still in place and<br />
original drawings <strong>of</strong> a Porsche model<br />
pinned on a draft board. It was a special<br />
feeling to know that we were walking<br />
through the administrative <strong>of</strong>fices where<br />
the first Porsches were born.<br />
From the factory site, we continued a<br />
short distance for a tour <strong>of</strong> Mr. Pfeifh<strong>of</strong>er’s<br />
Our group stopped for lunch as we traveled over the highest pass in the Alps<br />
Porsche’s humble beginnings in Gmund<br />
private Porsche museum filled with a<br />
number <strong>of</strong> special and limited edition<br />
cars representing the history <strong>of</strong> Porsche.<br />
There were also several different engines<br />
on display and a large collection <strong>of</strong> model<br />
cars, historical photographs and other<br />
memorabilia. He receives no sponsorship<br />
money from Porsche and has amassed<br />
this wonderful collection on his own and<br />
through contributions from friends and<br />
patrons. His well-stocked goodie store<br />
did a brisk business from our group that<br />
afternoon.<br />
That evening, we took a motor coach<br />
to a 14th century Almhutte (farmhouse)<br />
where we enjoyed a delicious meal cooked<br />
over an open fire. As a light rain fell<br />
outside, we were entertained by the tunes<br />
<strong>of</strong> Sepp Nussbaumer playing the folkloric<br />
Zither and reflected back on the wonderful<br />
day it had been.<br />
Tuesday brought another enjoyable<br />
day <strong>of</strong> driving and the much anticipated<br />
“photo rally” that covered about 100<br />
miles. Each couple was given a book <strong>of</strong><br />
photos with questions to answer. Some<br />
questions required that we spot the subject<br />
<strong>of</strong> the photo as we drove and identify its<br />
name and/or location. Others required<br />
knowledge <strong>of</strong> local landmarks and<br />
conversion <strong>of</strong> euros to dollars, liters to<br />
gallons or feet to meters. Our route took<br />
us through quaint villages and picturesque<br />
countryside. During our drive, we<br />
encountered low clouds and a light rain<br />
followed by beautiful blue skies. The<br />
scenery and vistas were simply spectacular<br />
and made it difficult to concentrate on our<br />
task at hand.<br />

Susan & David Stone<br />
At the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
tour, we stopped for an<br />
exquisite lunch at the<br />
Schloss Fuschl, a lovely<br />
castle converted to a<br />
5-star hotel. Our tables<br />
overlooked a beautiful<br />
lake, and the service<br />
was impeccable. After<br />
turning in our score<br />
sheets from the rally, we<br />
returned to the hotel for<br />
a horse-drawn carriage<br />
ride around Salzburg.<br />
Two carriages were<br />
provided, and somehow<br />
Steve and Julie had one<br />
to themselves. Perhaps<br />
Steve arranged that? At Randy & Sue Kinsling<br />
tour’s end, we spent time<br />
walking the city in a light rain with umbrellas<br />
provided by the hotel. That evening, we dined<br />
at our hotel as a group and received “valuable<br />
prizes” for our performance in the rally that day.<br />
Ample quantities <strong>of</strong> beer and wine, a wonderful<br />
meal and lots <strong>of</strong> laughs made for a great time.<br />
Wednesday brought our last day with<br />
the cars and a full day <strong>of</strong> driving (330 miles)<br />
on the Autobahn and country roads to the<br />
medieval walled village <strong>of</strong> Rothenburg. There<br />
we had lunch together at Reichskuchenmeister<br />
Restaurant, another family-owned<br />
establishment, before strolling this remarkable<br />
town now known for its fine shops that draw<br />
many tourists, especially during the Christmas<br />
season. We walked on the famous wall that<br />
once protected the village from its enemies and<br />

Julie Tye and Steve Karolyi<br />
August <strong>2011</strong> <strong>•</strong> Santa Barbara Region <strong>•</strong> Porsche Club <strong>of</strong> America <strong>•</strong> www.pcasb.org<br />
marveled at the well-maintained buildings and<br />
cobblestone streets. Everyone agreed that we<br />
could spend days exploring this lovely place.<br />
Leaving Rothenburg, we headed back to<br />
Stuttgart on the Autobahn with more sections <strong>of</strong><br />
unlimited speed. With normal traffic and trucks<br />
on the road this day, driving at faster speeds<br />
was a real challenge as cars constantly pulled<br />
out into the fast lane unexpectedly from behind<br />
slow-moving trucks. Needless to say, we did not<br />
see150 mph on this drive.<br />
That evening, we dined at the Rathauskeller<br />
Restaurant in Stuttgart’s City Hall. This<br />
contemporary eatery provided us with a<br />
delicious bounty <strong>of</strong> local cuisine along with<br />
unlimited wine and beer. Tonight we met the<br />
members <strong>of</strong> the Mini-<br />
Treffen that was to begin<br />
the next day and shared<br />
with them our many<br />
wonderful experiences.<br />
In next month’s “Der<br />
Auspuff,” the conclusion<br />

Nine Porsches and 18 R.U.F.-fians<br />
challenged the weather gods and<br />
met in the Santa Barbara Sears<br />
parking lot the morning <strong>of</strong> June 16th.<br />
The day began with a fine drizzle, but by<br />
the time we departed, the air was dry and<br />
the sky was filled with the typical “June<br />
Gloom” overcast. Actually, fine weather<br />
for driving at mid-60s Fahrenheit. The<br />
destination was Avila Beach and Fat Cat’s<br />
Café for lunch.<br />
On the San Marcos Pass highway<br />
(154), we were greeted by a California<br />
Highway Patrol cruiser with an easily<br />
spotted radar gun. Our intrepid group <strong>of</strong><br />
Porsches throttled down to speed limit,<br />
disappointing the CHP <strong>of</strong>ficer, no doubt.<br />
Minutes later, we found CHP cars on<br />
both sides <strong>of</strong> the highway. We assumed it<br />
was a filming location, since there were<br />
a plethora <strong>of</strong> film crew trucks parked on<br />
the shoulder. My radar detector was really<br />
busy in the next few minutes.<br />
Passing Los Olivos, we turned on<br />
Foxen Canyon Road. Here we found the<br />
14<br />
serenity <strong>of</strong> back roads with very little<br />
traffic. Foxen Canyon Road has fairly<br />
smooth, level driving with well -marked<br />
curves. Many <strong>of</strong> our Porsches have<br />
tiptronic transmissions, and a few <strong>of</strong> us<br />
had the opportunity to try the manual<br />
mode. As someone who usually drives<br />
a 6-speed, I thoroughly enjoyed this<br />
two-pedal experience in my wife Terry’s<br />
Cayman.<br />
As to the scenery, it did not disappoint.<br />
We passed by verdant pastures, rolling<br />
hills, tiny towns and many wineries that<br />
are a trademark <strong>of</strong> Central California.<br />
Back to the 101, our route went through<br />
Pismo Beach with a view <strong>of</strong> the muted<br />
ocean beneath the gray cloud cover. The<br />
road to Avila Beach reminded me <strong>of</strong> the<br />
East Coast. An old green metal bridge<br />
crossed over the road and seemed to<br />
disappear into a lush forest.<br />
Finally we reached Avila Beach with<br />
its long pier that stretches to the horizon.<br />
Parking at Fat Cat’s Café was easy, and<br />
there was a table area outside. The food<br />
was indeed appreciated after our long<br />
drive and the portions were HUGE! That’s<br />

R.U.F.-ing It In Avila Beach<br />
The R.U.F.-ians at Fat Cat’s Café in Avila Beach<br />
why they call it FAT Cat’s Café. No skinny<br />
cats here! Nick had Eggs Benedict with a<br />
slab <strong>of</strong> ham the thickness <strong>of</strong> a performance<br />
tire! (It looked delicious in spite <strong>of</strong> my<br />
analogy.) Terry had fish and chips and she<br />
confessed that they were the best she’d ever<br />
had!<br />
The bonus <strong>of</strong> these adventures is<br />
the camaraderie with our R.U.F. group.<br />
Bill Wilson and I compared our driving<br />
experiences with our identical Caymans.<br />
Nick told us about his future trip to<br />
Greece. And Mike Turek reminded me <strong>of</strong><br />
the crazy Honda driver that had to blast<br />
ahead <strong>of</strong> our group only to slow down for<br />
traffic.<br />
This was a relaxed trip, one that is<br />
enjoyable with friends. Thanks to Nick<br />
Liakas, Mike Turek, John Shutt and<br />
Barbara Oldfield, Kris & Don Galloway,<br />
Corwin and Trent Toyoma, Bill Wilson<br />
and Howard Park, Mary Anne Pare, plus<br />
Brandon, Joe & Jane Niederst. And thanks<br />
to my wife Terry, for allowing me to drive<br />
her Cayman. =<br />

El Camino Real, Jr.<br />
The Gimmick Rally<br />
By Phil Reese<br />
When Linda and I started putting together the Santa<br />
Barbara Region Gimmick Rally for this year, the<br />
idea was to create a nice tour <strong>of</strong> Ventura County’s<br />
back roads, agricultural areas, and small towns.<br />
But when we finished, we didn’t expect to get to know so much<br />
about so many <strong>of</strong> the <strong>club</strong>’s members.<br />
For example, did you know that more than two dozen <strong>of</strong> your<br />
fellow members know that the City <strong>of</strong> Moorpark has a population<br />
<strong>of</strong> 37,086 people, but also think that the city is 513 ft. up in the<br />
air?<br />
And did you realize that there are at least 30 SBR folks who<br />
think their speedometers read 32 mph when their Porsches are<br />
stopped?<br />
And can you believe that there are over 20 <strong>of</strong> the Santa<br />
Barbara Region Porsche drivers that don’t realize a new 911<br />
comes with a steering wheel?<br />
And practically none <strong>of</strong> your fellow PCA’ers, who ran the El<br />
Camino Real, Jr. on June 25th, know how to put a giraffe in a<br />
refrigerator.<br />
I could go on and on, but what we can be sure <strong>of</strong> about the<br />
<strong>region</strong>’s members is that they all seem to really like c<strong>of</strong>fee and<br />
sweet rolls in the morning and barbecue for lunch. Of these, we<br />
had more than plenty.<br />
The day was perfect, and every single one <strong>of</strong> the Porsches was<br />
shiny. And afterwards, quite a few couples thought it important<br />
to state that they were still talking to each other after 79 miles <strong>of</strong><br />
16<br />
August <strong>2011</strong> <strong>•</strong> Santa Barbara Region <strong>•</strong> Porsche Club <strong>of</strong> America <strong>•</strong> www.pcasb.org<br />
At the driver’s meeting, Rallymaster Phil Reese (in blue & white<br />
jacket ) explains what a “gimmick rally” is all about. We should<br />
have been paying closer attention, or at least taking notes.<br />
lollygagging around the countryside, looking for all sorts <strong>of</strong> odd<br />
things by the road, and wondering, “What the heck do they mean<br />
by that?”<br />
And to top it <strong>of</strong>f, many <strong>of</strong> our fellow <strong>region</strong>al “economists”<br />
seem to think that “what comes next after a trillion” is a<br />
quadrillion, not “a trillion-and-one.” Geez, maybe they could<br />
work in Washington.<br />
Well, out <strong>of</strong> about 60 answerable questions, “Cool-Hand”<br />
David Stone and his navigator, Susan, got 53 <strong>of</strong> them correct, for<br />
a decisive first place win. Newcomers Mike & Robin McConnell,<br />
who admitted at the start they had no idea what a rally was (a<br />
clear advantage as it turned out) grabbed second place with 46<br />
correct answers. Third, with 43, and after a tie-breaking question<br />
Phil & Linda Reese
We are the champions...(l-r) Third place finishers Gary & Phyllis Weaver; second place finishers Robin & Mike McConnell;<br />
and the El Camino Real, Jr. Gimmick Rally Champions Susan & David Stone.<br />
closest answer <strong>of</strong> 4 to “how many bridges did you cross on the<br />
route?,” were Gary & Phyllis Weaver (against the correct answer<br />
<strong>of</strong> 16 bridges crossed!). Should we wonder if the PCA SBR drivers<br />
pay attention to anything along the road but their Porsches and<br />
their tachometers?<br />
We did learn that this year’s Gimmick Rally was William &<br />
Diane Griswold’s first driving event since becoming members. We<br />
truly hope they try a second one.<br />
And our thanks to The Auto Gallery for sponsorship <strong>of</strong> the<br />
breakfast at the start and the trophies at the end.<br />
By the way, the part common to, and interchangeable among,<br />
all cars since the 1940s is the Schrader valve, which is in every<br />
car tire’s valve stem. You know, the thing under the valve cap that<br />
has the little prong you push in to let the air out <strong>of</strong> the tire? Just<br />
thought you’d like to know. =<br />

The reckoning...Phil Reese (at left) goes over the correct answers to our 60+ question rally quiz. Who knew that in order to put an<br />
elephant into a refrigerator, first you had to take out the giraffe? Or that Tennessee and Missouri both border on eight other states?<br />
Well, they do...and it was important to know it.<br />

Santa Barbara To Cholame<br />
We’ll get an early start, gathering at the Santa Barbara Sears parking lot (La Cumbre/Hope<br />
Ave. exit <strong>of</strong>f the 101) at 8:00 a.m. sharp! Departure time is 8:30 a.m.<br />
First leg will take us north on the 101 where we’ll stop for a brief c<strong>of</strong>fee break in Atascadero.<br />
Then, we’ll hit the backroads for a scenic trip to the James Dean Memorial site in Cholame,<br />

A Trip To The 100th Indianapolis 500 With Andy Granatelli<br />
At The Indy With Andy<br />
By Suzi Sheller<br />
All it took was a tip in the Editor’s column <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Montecito Journal, an email, and we hooked up with<br />
Andy Granatelli for the trip <strong>of</strong> a lifetime. We were<br />
going to the 100th Anniversary <strong>of</strong> the Indy 500 with<br />
88-year-old Mr. 500 himself!<br />
Our Gulfstream Jet - the only way to fly<br />
Thursday morning, May 26, we boarded a private Gulfstream<br />
jet with 11 other friends <strong>of</strong> Andy and a crew <strong>of</strong> three for the<br />
flight to Indiana. Our friends were right – we never want to fly<br />
commercial again. We were met at the airport in Indy by Andy,<br />
his family, and his assigned police escort, loaded into vans<br />
and police cars and whisked away to the speedway with sirens<br />
blaring and lights blazing. We were scheduled for 180 mph rides<br />
with Mario Andretti in the two-seater Indy cars. Suited up, with<br />
the first four ladies in the cars, the light drizzle turned into a<br />
downpour and we were rained out. Everyone was disappointed,<br />
but Bob and I have since gotten a raincheck and were <strong>of</strong>fered a<br />
second chance June 28.<br />
Then, it was on to the<br />
Auto Racing Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame<br />
Induction Ceremony<br />
banquet in downtown<br />
Indianapolis, where<br />
we were surrounded<br />
by such great racers as<br />
Parnelli Jones, the Unsers,<br />
Emerson Fittipaldi, Dan<br />
Gurney, Benny Parsons,<br />
Arie Luyendyk, and<br />
so many more racing<br />
Mr. 500 - Andy Granatelli<br />
legends. All <strong>of</strong> this in just<br />
the first day!<br />
The next 3 days were packed with great food and drink; a<br />
congenial and <strong>of</strong>ten hilarious group dynamic; wonderful sessions<br />
with Andy and his brother Vince reminiscing about their early<br />
days in car development and racing; and, <strong>of</strong> course, experiences<br />
at Indy unavailable to the general public but open to us because <strong>of</strong><br />
the respect Andy is accorded in Indy.<br />
We enjoyed access to:<br />
<strong>•</strong> The Andretti garage (the Granatellis won their first 500 in<br />
1969 with Mario driving)<br />
<strong>•</strong> The vault at the Hall <strong>of</strong> Fame Museum featuring cars rarely on<br />
display<br />
<strong>•</strong> A 360 degree view <strong>of</strong> the track from a suite in the Pagoda for<br />
the Indy Lights race<br />
<strong>•</strong> A tour <strong>of</strong> the control room where one man monitors all track<br />
action on 24 video screens<br />
<strong>•</strong> Front-row center seats at the drivers’ meeting conducted by Al<br />
Unser, Jr.<br />
<strong>•</strong> Tower 4 suite and refreshments for the 500 race<br />
<strong>•</strong> Police escort and squad car rides everywhere we went<br />
On Sunday, after watching 180 laps <strong>of</strong> the race, we beat the<br />
traffic (over 300,000 fans trying to leave through one exit) by<br />
leaving for the airport at 2:15. Yes, we missed the exciting finish!<br />
Thanking Andy and giving him a kiss goodbye (he is Italian,<br />
after all), we boarded our jet for home. Once in the air, the pilot<br />
announced the race winner, we were served dinner, and almost<br />
everyone fell asleep in their plush leather seats. Bob and I couldn’t<br />
sleep - we didn’t want to miss a single minute <strong>of</strong> this adventure.<br />
We arrived in Santa Barbara at 4:10 our time, where our cars were<br />
waiting, trunks open for our luggage, and disembarked. After four<br />
days <strong>of</strong> VIP treatment, where we couldn’t raise a finger or spend a<br />
dime, it was a real let-down to be back in the real world.<br />
Not only is Andy Granatelli a living legend, he is a warm and<br />
generous gentleman. We are indebted to him for allowing us to<br />
accompany him and be part <strong>of</strong> his family on this historic 100th<br />
anniversary trip, and we salute him with his signature email sign<strong>of</strong>f,<br />
sempre amore, Andy! =<br />

Hal Jandorf’s Cayman S headed for the mountains<br />
Hal and his Porsche at the observatory<br />
Terry Jandorf and her Cayman S<br />
Jandorfs Star in<br />
Porsche Performance<br />
Television Series On<br />
By Hal Jandorf<br />
Several months ago, Bill Sampson announced that a filming<br />
company was interested in people who use their Porsches<br />
for unusual purposes. I thought <strong>of</strong> our Caymans, which<br />
double as portable “observatory” transports, driving my<br />
telescopes to remote observation sites in the mountains. “Why<br />
not combine performance driving with astronomy,” I said. The<br />
roads in the mountains are spectacular and I am an astronomer<br />
(I teach astronomy at Moorpark College and Los Angeles<br />
Valley College.) So the production company (Robert Dalrymple<br />
Productions) signed us up!<br />
The filming turned out to be a major production, 12 hours<br />
<strong>of</strong> driving, interviews, and setting up and breaking down my<br />
telescope dozens <strong>of</strong> times, at our home in Thousand Oaks and at<br />
the Moorpark College Observatory. Since we each have a Cayman<br />
S, Terry and I were both interviewed.<br />
There were six crew members and a tremendous amount <strong>of</strong><br />
photographic gear. Everybody was very friendly and helpful. On<br />
the road, they had me driving just inches behind the camera car<br />
several times along the smooth roads <strong>of</strong> Moorpark. The last few<br />
shots were taken during a beautiful sunset at the observatory. Just<br />
as we packed up, it started to rain!<br />
I finally viewed the finished cut. It contains about seven<br />
minutes <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essionally edited interviews, driving shots and<br />
telescope set-up scenes. Our segment is the final one on the<br />
show (it must be because it’s the best, right?). Terry and I were<br />
impressed and pleased with the result. The other segments are<br />
about a surfer (using a Cayman to transport), a pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
singer driving a Panamera, a Porsche race driver/car collector, a<br />
long distance (cross country) drive in a 1985 911, and us!<br />
I hope you have some time to view this 30-minute Porsche<br />
show on Speed Channel. I will get a copy to share at one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Santa Barbara breakfasts. I think you’ll enjoy it like we did!<br />
If you can’t wait, or if you missed its original TV airing in<br />
June, here is the link: http://www.bryanrobertseditor.com/<br />

SCCA Goes<br />
For Cars 2<br />
In Imax 3D<br />
The S.C.C.A. (Sally Carrera<br />
Club <strong>of</strong> America) was eager for<br />
the June 24th grand opening<br />
<strong>of</strong> Pixar’s “Cars 2.”<br />
Pictured in the lobby, still<br />
wearing their 3D glasses, are<br />
(l-r) Chet Yabitsu, Kent Bodin,<br />
Mike Hodson, Joan Yabitsu,<br />
Oscar Briones, and Chris<br />
Hodson. Toni Briones, who<br />
also attended, presumably<br />
snapped the photo.<br />
Did they like the movie?<br />
Judging by the photo...I’d say,<br />
yes!<br />
