California Central Coast Porsche Club Of America November 2008 Book Review submitted by Jerry Jett Porsche High-Performance Driving Handbook 2nd Edition By Vic Elford Reviewed by Jerry Jett Being the first to win the Monte Carlo rally in a Porsche, then the 24 hour race at Daytona just one week later, has more than qualified Mr. Elford to write this handbook. He was also the first to lap La Mans at over 150 MPH, driving a Porsche (of course!), but more importantly, there hasn’t been a driver in the history of car racing to be as successful in all types of racing. From Rally to exquisite 1250 Horse Porsche 917/30, and even NASCAR, he continued to win races right up to few years ago in Vintage Racing. He opens the book by dedicating it to Porsche Driv- ers and other drivers who put quality and performance first. Covering all types of driving, the book emphasizes safety first. Going into more detail for the motor- ing enthusiast, each chapter uses illustrations from the author’s own racing career, along with everyday driving, to nail home the point of the particular subject of that chapter. I found the book enjoyable because it takes a casual approach to the subject as opposed to a strictly text book format. Vic makes no bones about being a Porsche Man, but has raced under other marquees. I found it to be most interesting that he devotes time to discussing the differences in the physics of various drive configurations. Although I didn’t read the first edition, it is my understanding that it was penned in Vic’s own unique approach. The second edition has been updated with new information and includes the more modern cars. I would highly recommend this book to any driver; novice, like myself, or ex- pert. The race stories alone are worth the cover price, the photos are excellent, and there is much to be learned from a true champion!

The division winners are Joseph Demeo - Concours, Philip Henius - Street, Bob Kitamura - Wash and Shine, and Rob Heyne - Unrestored. In Unrestored Rob Heyne and Marcie Fricia both had equal scores. The division winner was decided by Zone 8 rules, 2008, Section IV-D-1: says......”.........;the car having the highest score in the most areas will be the winner. One area was tied, Rob was low in one and high in two areas, and therefore deemed the winner. Rob and Marcie, you can’t get much closer than that. A great job by all the participants, many of which also were selected to judge these cars. Alyce Thorp and Bob Mayberry, CCCR of PCA, Concours at the Coast
