From FDR’s Oval Office<br />

by Frederick D. Rauch, PCA-SVR President<br />

SVR is need of a Club Treasurer<br />

<strong>The</strong> Board of Directors is seeking a SVR member to take over as our region’s Treasurer. Back in April Mike Willis volunteered to temporarily<br />

serve as the acting Treasurer. Mike currently serves as the Membership Director and the Advertising Chair and has served every other board<br />

position over the years and continues to volunteer in acting positions to maintain continuity in the clubs operations. <strong>The</strong> key word is<br />

temporary and we need to relieve Mike of the role of the Acting Club Treasurer ASAP.<br />

That being said if you have a background in QuickBooks, have bookkeeping or accounting skills and are willing to contribute 3-4 hours<br />

a week to the club, now’s your opportunity. As a member of the Board of Directors, you will become an important member of the team<br />

responsible for SVR developing policies, managing activities and serving the region’s 1,000+ members.<br />

<strong>The</strong> duties of the Treasurer include:<br />

• Serving a member of the Board of Directors<br />

• Managing SVR finances using Intuit QuickBooks software.*<br />

• Working with Board Members and Event Chairs to prepare an annual budget for Board approval.<br />

• Developing, as needed, financial policies and procedures.<br />

• Preparing monthly income and expense reports of SVR’s financial condition.<br />

• Attending monthly Board meetings to help direct the region’s operations.<br />

• Coordinating with an accountant to prepare annual federal and state taxes.<br />

• Familiarity with on-line banking would be helpful and a time saver.<br />

For more information please contact me at president@svr-pca.org or 916-595-3371 cell<br />

Stirring the Pot with the Soup Spoon<br />

by Rik Larson, Vice President<br />

• Ruth Stark has got her Charity Auction publicity out all over the<br />

place. If you need to have a donated item picked up prior to the<br />

event, she will be glad to make arrangements to store items till the<br />

auction on September 11th. Did you see the size of that Teddy<br />

Bear?<br />

• Kevin Dougherty is chairing the October dinner (just added to the<br />

schedule). It will be held at the Back Bistro in Folsom. SVR had a<br />

dinner there a couple of years ago, just shortly after they opened.<br />

<strong>The</strong> place has recently expanded. Menu selection, price, and other<br />

details were not available as we went to press. Be sure and check<br />

out the e-mail BLASTs for all the information. Date is Monday,<br />

October 3rd.<br />

• <strong>The</strong> tour on October 8th is going thru some significant changes.<br />

Seems that the original destination/locale is having a big event that<br />

day. So Lee and Dan are scouting out a different location. Details<br />

next month but should have some info in the next e-mail BLAST.<br />

• Planning for the SVR Christmas Party is progressing very nicely,<br />

thanks to Mike and Emily Willis. <strong>The</strong> date will be Sunday,<br />

December 11th in the afternoon. It will be at the Sutter Club,<br />

downtown <strong>Sacramento</strong>. More details as they become available.<br />

• At the Pebble Beach Concours, a 1949 356/2 coupe entered by<br />

Hans-Peter Porsche of Austria, won the Postwar Sports Closed<br />

class. <strong>The</strong> story goes that this car was part of a group of cars<br />

purchased in Kentucky(?) several years ago and was just recently<br />

restored (thousands of hours of labor). It was the 45th Porsche<br />

built.<br />

• Only 7 spots remain for the wine tasting event at the Jacobson’s<br />

in October.<br />

• Saturday at the Rennsport Reunion IV appears to be the best<br />

day to attend. <strong>The</strong> schedule identifies a Parade exhibition of<br />

Porsche’s racing history from 3pm to 3:40 pm to be followed by<br />

a Concours on Pit Lane. Gates open at 7 am. And the big tease<br />

is that the new 2012 Porsche 911 (991) will be there.<br />

• Several quick items from the Porsche Parade in Savannah. It<br />

was HOT. <strong>The</strong> Zone Representatives Award was made to Tim<br />

Fleming (in memoriam). Sharon Neidel, Zone 7 Representative,<br />

provided a great background about Tim. Sue Fleming accepted<br />

the award. SVR webmaster John Murphy placed 2nd in Class IV<br />

of the website competition. He and Phil Wood did an overhaul<br />

of the website and their efforts were well rewarded. Did I say it<br />

was HOT? SVR member Dustin Aydt arrived late to the Parade,<br />

but he planned it that way. He was part of the Tech Academy<br />

held on Friday. Dustin works at Niello Porsche (like he works<br />

on Porsches). And SVR took home some hardware in the TSD<br />

Rally. Jessica (Golden Gate <strong>Region</strong>) and J Toney took 3rd place<br />

in the Equipped Class. <strong>The</strong>y had won this class and overall<br />

the previous 5 years. Terry Zaccone (Golden Gate <strong>Region</strong>)<br />

and I won the Navigational class. We also won this class at the<br />

2008 Parade in Charlotte, NC. It was HOT. All the results,<br />

photos, awards, etc. are available at the Parade web site www.<br />

parade2011.pca.org<br />

• Salt Lake City is the site for the Parade in 2012. Jessica and<br />

J Toney are in charge of the TSD Rally. Come on out to the<br />

Carrera de Sierra event on September 17th to get some early<br />

experience. SVR and Zone 7 always do well at the Porsche<br />

Parades.<br />

Corner Exit and Throttle Skills<br />

By Collin Fat, SVR Member<br />

One of the best ways to reduce your lap times whether on a<br />

track or autocross course is by increasing your corner exit speed.<br />

Depending on the type of Porsche you drive the strategy for exit is<br />

almost always similar.<br />

As soon as you pass the braking point of the turn, and approach<br />

the apex you can apply a little throttle gently at first and with<br />

gusto as the car straightens at the turn out point. For the beginner<br />

this might seem very early, but in fact is the ideal position to start<br />

applying throttle for several reasons.<br />

First, the sooner you apply throttle the sooner the rear wheels in<br />

this example start doing some work by applying the new found<br />

power to the rear wheels and the sooner the rear wheels start<br />

carrying the load. For a micro second during the turn you will be<br />

off the throttle and in a neutral position, off the brakes and in<br />

steering the car through the turn. You would not be under steering<br />

or over-steering assuming you came in to the turn at the correct<br />

speed for your car’s set-up and tire type. This moment in time<br />

when you have just passed the apex is what I term your neutral<br />

point in the turn and the ideal position to start applying throttle.<br />

How much depends on your tires and the amount of power<br />

available. Should you exit the turn and not start applying throttle<br />

to the exit of the turn you would be loosing up to .2 seconds just in<br />

the matter of 10-20 feet.<br />

PCA-SVR AUTOCROSS #4<br />

Sunday, August 14, 2011 - Mather Field<br />

by Bob Peake, SVR AX Chair 2011<br />

Photos courtesy of Doug Klien, SVR Member<br />

It was another sunny summer day at Mather. We only had 34 drivers run the event<br />

so there was lots of track time available. Twelve timed runs, and 18 total laps with<br />

the warm-up laps … some people stopped early, they were getting low on tires!<br />

On a course of just less than 60 seconds, this is valuable time and<br />

real estate difficult to make up in other sections of the course.<br />

As you apply throttle after or at the apex try moderate throttle<br />

versus slamming the pedal to the medal which may induce severe<br />

understeer as the amount of available grip will likely exceed the slip<br />

angle or available traction of the front tires that are still doing the<br />

steering. As the throttle is applied it is also extremely important to<br />

let the car run out so that you will be using the full width of the<br />

course. This allows you to use all of the track available and will let<br />

you “unwind” the steering wheel while applying throttle.<br />

As you begin to straighten the wheel for the next turn or obstacle<br />

you should now be in a position of applying full throttle. Beginner’s<br />

will generally have the tendency on corner exit to hold the line too<br />

tight and not let the wheel unwind as throttle is applied generally<br />

later that the more experienced driver.<br />

<strong>The</strong> term “slow in and fast out” has often been used to describe the<br />

optimum approach to entry as well as corner exit strategy for the<br />

Porsche brand and in general applies to more modern, rear, mid<br />

and all wheel driver variants.<br />

So the next time out at the track or an autocross course try<br />

applying the throttle just a little earlier and let that steering wheel<br />

unwind and I know that your times will get faster and faster with<br />

more practice.<br />

To try and bridge the gap between AX and Track events, and “course designer writers block”, this month’s course<br />

was the 11 turns from Laguna Seca, in proper order. We were missing the elevation changes and the long straights<br />

between the corners, but it still proved to be a fun and fairly fast course (with the exception of the Corkscrew and<br />

Turn 11, naturally).<br />

Thanks for coming out and running the event, we look forward to seeing you at our next Autocross at our new<br />

Mather Field site on Sept 25th … maybe the weather will be a bit cooler by then!<br />

Registration will open on August 26th. Be sure and sign up early … it could be a<br />

sell out!<br />

Till we Autocross again …..<br />

SVR Sweeps Zone 7 Concours at Carlsen Porsche<br />

by Jim McMahen, SVR Member<br />

Early Sunday morning, July 17th, a group of SVR concours enthusiasts met at Ted Blake’s repair and restoration shop for the two hour drive<br />

to Carlsen Porsche in order to compete at the fourth, in a series of six, Zone 7 Concours events for 2011. This event was presented by Golden<br />

Gate <strong>Region</strong>.<br />

At the end of the drive the cars were placed and final preparations began with a flurry of dusting off the road grime before the judges would<br />

make their rounds. We were all hoping that we had prepared the perfect car and would receive the illusive “perfect score”.<br />

A wonderful lunch was served while scores were tallied and contestants awaited their fate.<br />

SVR was well represented with Kent Brandon, Jim McMahen, Kim Nelson, Joe Schumacher, Tom Sisson, Dennis Stettner and Bruce Ungari<br />

earning first place awards in their respective classes.<br />

SVR winners included: Tom Sisson, Kim and Rachel Nelson, Bruce and Cathy Ungari, Jim and Linda McMahen, Roger and Jan Walker, Mark<br />

and Stephanie Fleishman, and Joe and Jennifer Schumacher. <strong>The</strong> event was held on Sunday, August 28th.<br />

With the rolling landscape and park benches<br />

on a perfectly-groomed lawn, you might<br />

think you were in Bavaria, which is exactly<br />

what Porsche Cars North America intends<br />

with its Porsche Park-in-the-Paddock—located<br />

amongst the vintage race cars at Mazda Raceway<br />

Laguna Seca for Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV,<br />

October 14-16. This area, located behind the media<br />

center (where the tire companies usually set up for<br />

a race weekend), will feature an authentic German<br />

biergarten as well as German food and and a park<br />

atmosphere so Rennsport attendees can take a break<br />

from the on-track activity and absorb the experience.<br />

But Rennsport fans will still know that they are at a<br />

Porsche event, as the Park-in-the-Paddock will have<br />

plenty of sports car activity as well, according to<br />

Bernd Harling, Porsche’s Principal Communications<br />

Counsel and coordinator for Rennsport.<br />

“Besides the food and drink, our Park-in-the-Paddock<br />

will include a center stage where driver introductions<br />

and all the autograph sessions will take place and<br />

live music will be played, as well as the very popular<br />

model car display, photo opportunities with the CARS<br />

movie star Sally Carrera—maybe our most famous<br />

911—and a Porsche Sport Driving School activity center,”<br />

said Harling.<br />

“We also hope to have a sneak showing of a future<br />

Porsche model in the Park, but it’s a little too early to<br />

be able to confirm its appearance,” Harling teased.<br />

Other activities around the paddock are taking<br />

shape as well for the October event. “Porsche Motorsports<br />

North America, headquartered in Santa Ana,<br />

will have a display not only to show its modern and<br />

vintage race car parts and service capabilities, but<br />

to encourage the many Porsche race car owners to<br />

take advantage of the company’s free technical advice<br />

offered to anyone who asks,” said Harling.<br />

With the Porsche 911 being the featured race car<br />

of Rennsport IV, fans will also be able to view two 911<br />

Park-in-the-Paddock<br />

includes genuine German<br />

biergarten, real turf, and<br />

lots of opportunities to<br />

relax and enjoy the magic<br />

Rennsport Reunion IV<br />

Will Feature Porsche Park<br />

displays which help capture the history of this iconic<br />

sports car. <strong>The</strong> first is a special collection of the most<br />

significant 15 race cars in 911 history. <strong>The</strong> other 911<br />

display is being assembled by the Porsche Club of<br />

America, and proved to be very popular at Porsche<br />

Rennsport III at Daytona in 2007. In order to show<br />

the progression of the Porsche 911 model, the club<br />

has assembled 40 examples representing significant<br />

models across time.<br />

PCA will assist Rennsport Reunion IV with several<br />

activities: History of the Porsche 911 Display,<br />

Porsche Model-Specific Parking Corrals with Parade<br />

laps of the track, PCA Hospitality and Membership<br />

Center, two race groups: Rennsport Reunion Cup<br />

for Porsche Cup Cars and PCA Club Racing for PCA<br />

race cars, and PCA Volunteer Pool—workers to assist<br />

with the club’s involvement. Enhancing the Rennsport<br />

Reunion Cup race, Michelin Tire Company<br />

comes on board as the spec tire manufacturer for that<br />

exciting contest.<br />

<strong>The</strong> assembly of exceptional examples of 911<br />

production models for the History of the Porsche 911<br />

Display is well underway, representing the 911 model<br />

throughout its generational life. To apply to participate<br />

in the display, please contact Tom Provasi for<br />

information and registration at tprovasi@netgate.<br />

net or 408/947-0980.<br />

Many PCA workers have volunteered to assist<br />

with our activities at the Rennsport Reunion IV. If you<br />

are interested in supporting the effort, please contact<br />

Sharon Neidel with the PCA Volunteer Pool at sharon<br />

neidel@yahoo.com or 650/508-1308. We will have a<br />

very special event memento for the volunteer workers.<br />

excellent shape – always garaged at home and work. Paint is shiny and in excellent condition. <strong>The</strong> black leather<br />

<strong>The</strong> car has never been on the track. Includes after market windscreen and car cover. I have the complete<br />
