President Bryan Lingruen
Well I survived my first month as president of the Northern Ohio Region PCA. January went by in a
flash with all the meetings and planning of events for both social and drivers’ education for the 2016
season. There was a lot of discussion and a few members who stepped up this month to help get some
programs going for the near future. It looks like we will be bringing back Rally events this year with a
potential event coming up this summer. We will have more information on that as we work to put a
more detailed plan together, but the future looks bright. While we have good news on the rally events,
we have a less than positive announcement in regard to our Autocross events. Our 2016 Autocross
season at Lakeland is on hold since we lost our pavement due to a new building being constructed.
We have one event on the calendar for Autocross, Saturday July 23rd at Pittsburgh International Race
complex in conjunction with our Drivers Education event taking place the same weekend. PittRace has
an excellent vehicle dynamics area with a huge amount of flat smooth pavement perfect for Autocross.
We hope to see our Autocross regulars there and maybe attract some new participants wanting to try
Autocross for the first time.
The Autocross team and board members have started the process to find new pavement with our own
external search. However, we currently have 653 members, and we are asking if anyone has an idea or
lead on where we could hold an Autocross event. It would be great to have a member that currently
has access to or knows of a location we could use. That would help speed up the process and get our
events running again soon. Please get in touch with myself or Brad Kennett if you have any leads that
could be of help to us. We greatly appreciate any help we can get from our members.
With our social events in January, we had great turnouts at both Whirlyball and our first Tech Session of
the year at Detailed Xpress. RuAn has a great event planned this month with a return visit to Cleveland
Whiskey and Magnet. If you didn’t make it to the last one, Brad Kennett put together previously, I
encourage you to sign up for this one as it’s an event not to miss! I also would like to correct our new
member party date. Due to scheduling conflicts, we will now be holding the party on March 12th.
Location will still be Porsche Beachwood. See the details in our events section of Voices this month for
more detail.
On a more personal note, I am a big fan of endurance racing and likely you will be reading this right
after I get back home from Daytona. This will be my 4Th trip to Daytona International Speedway for the
IMSA Rolex 24 hour sports car race. The race this year takes place a week later than usual with it being
on the 30th and 31st of January. The Rolex is a race like no other you have ever attended. Porsche
will once again be campaigning their GT class 911 race cars and just like every other year, I watch in
anticipation of a victory for our beloved manufacturer. The race itself is a twice around the clock battle
of man and machine and while it’s exciting to watch on your T.V. at home, there’s no comparison with
being at the track. It’s a sensory overload fully taking in the sights, sounds and smells. You witness
firsthand the crews, team owners and drivers experiencing the highs of adrenaline and the lows of
exhaustion. Ultimately coming down to the sweet taste of victory for some and jarring defeat for
others. What sets the 24 apart is that you pretty much have access to almost anywhere within the
Daytona Speedway. With your general admission, you can tour the garages and paddock area full of
teams and their cars, along with choosing any seat you wish in the grandstands anytime during the 24
hour race. There’s something special about sitting in the first row of seats on the start finish line at 2am
in the dark while cars pass in a blur of light and sound at close to 200mph. If you have never attended,
it is for sure a bucket list item. Even if you’re not a huge racing fan, I urge you to go, even just once, to
feel the energy and witness the spectacle first hand. It will be something you will never forget.

the real good stuff. Bring an appetizer or dessert or if you have some other great
goodie bring it along.
RSVP by March 5 is required to ensure an adequate amount of main course
food. Food and beverages will be provided based only on the number of
RSVP’s received. Please take only one minute of your time to assure an

Around the Zone
Michael Soriano
Greetings PCA Zone 4 Members,
As we enter the second month of the New Year, I am pleased to see that many
regions are making a real effort to encourage their membership to remain connected
throughout the winter months. A number of regions are holding events to welcome
new members or introduce their newly elected officers. A few regions hold their
formal banquets now as opposed to the end of the year which is always so busy; while
others have held fundraising events to help benefit their communities. This time of
year many regions hold tech sessions which are designed to help us better prepare for
the upcoming driving season. Most of the regions have held their Planning Meetings
to help establish a preliminary calendar of events for the year. Amongst the events
already planned are numerous DEs. Zone 4 regions host Driver’s Education events from
April through October. These events are designed to provide a safe, structured, and
controlled teaching and learning environment so that participants can improve their
driving abilities and acquire a better understanding of vehicle dynamics and driving
safety. They take place at a number of tracks including Gingerman, Grattan, Indianapolis
Motor Speedway, Mid-Ohio, Pitt Race, Putnam Park, Waterford Hills and Watkins Glen; so
why not consider attending one this year.
As I look at all of the Zone 4 regions’ calendars, I am pleased to see that many regions
are working together to create new events as well as helping to promote each other’s
events. Over the past few years, I have attended some spectacular events throughout
the zone providing me the opportunity to meet truly remarkable individuals. I highly
recommend that you regularly visit the Zone 4 website, and check out the events page
which contains a calendar of some of the many events taking place throughout the
zone. Plan to attend some fantastic events during this year whether it’s in your region or
a neighboring one.
Be sure to check your local region’s website and newsletter as well as the Zone 4 website
http://zone4pca.org for the latest details on the many events close to you that are being
planned. Here are just some of the events taking place this month:
·MORPCA’s Board Meeting is at the Rusty Bucket in Easton on February 1
·
February 2 is Rally Sport Region’s Club Meeting at Karl’s Cabin Restaurant in
Plymouth, MI
·
Ohio Valley Region’s Monthly Board Meeting and Member Social is February 9

Ristorante in Elkhart, IN

Jim Forcina
January 2016 Minutes: Taken by RuAn Thompson
Attendees: President, Bryan Lingruen, Vice-President, Brad Kennett, Skip Wolfe, Kent Winter, Ed Baus,
Eric Christiansen, RuAn Thompson, Walt & Pat Ellert, Mike & Sue Garriga, Les Checel, Bill Stewart and Jon
Giese.
Treasurer Concern:
Bryan Lingruen announced that he was informed by Jan deCaro that he will no longer be able to fill
the position of Treasurer. Eric Christiansen was willing to continue as Treasurer until a replacement was
found. During discussion Jon Giese volunteered to become treasurer. The board motioned and voted
with unanimous approval of Jon Giese to be appointed new Treasurer.
Treasurer’s Report –
Eric Christiansen provided an overview of the Treasurer’s processes including all records, pending
matters, checking account and tax information. A draft 2015 year-end operating statement was
reviewed.
Eric provided a summary on the current status of the Newsletter advertisers and will provide Les
a brief operating statement for the February Voices.
Social Events –
WhirlyBall – Sat. Jan 16, -- 4-6 pm. Ed and Diane Baus are handling.
Tech Session – Detail Xpress, Sat. Jan. 23 9-11 am. Bryan Lingruen is handling event.
New Member Party discussed with date change to March 12 due to scheduling conflict on original
proposed date of February 20th. Bryan and Brad will handle event. RuAn will handle RSVPs along with
food and beverage.
Mike Garriga once again agreed to host their annual Rib Cook-Off with the date established as August
20th.
RuAn Thompson also suggested that a calendar insert be once again done and be in the next Voices.
All agreed.
The board discussed that a survey should be done inquiring all club members to participate and provide
their input on what events they would like to be incorporated within the calendar. A Survey Monkey will
be generated and sent via email to members in Q1 of 2016.
Driver’s Ed
Ed Baus -- The financial budgets for both spring and Fall Mid-Ohio DEs were distributed. These
worksheets were approved by the board. Ed noted that there is a price increase for the track rental in
regards to our April and October Drivers Education events. Both spring and fall driver’s education events
will be priced the same to help offset rising operating costs.
Brad Kennett noted Porsche Beachwood will continue title sponsorship for all three drivers’ education
events in 2016. Also noted Porsche Beachwood would like to hold a member dinner at PittRace DE. More
details to be discussed at next board meeting.
Skip Wolfe will be submitting a budget for approval for the Pitt Race DE on July 23-24
Autocross – Walt Ellert reported that we lost our pavement at Lakeland College; so therefore, Autocross
will go on hold until a new location is found. The board discussed contacting a commercial real estate
agent to help search for a new location. The autocross team will begin a search for new pavement and
will reach out to members for possible leads via email blast and voices.
Membership -- Pat Ellert reported that currently we have an increase in our membership totaling 653
members -- 8 new members, 1 transfer out, 22 renewals, and 9 non renewals.

We Have a Winner!
by Brad Kennett
On December 16, 2015, NORPCA member Dale Kistemaker received the Motor
Press Guild Bob D’Olivio Award For Photography. The Motor Press Guild, based
in Los Angeles, is the largest automotive media association in North America.
The MPG Awards single out persons demonstrating outstanding achievement
in automotive journalism and communications. More information about the
Motor Press Guild can be found at: http://www.motorpressguild.org
Dale’s award was based on his photographs in “24+30, Three Decades Later
One Photographer Remembers His Very First Taste of Le Mans,” published in
the December issue of Porsche Panorama Magazine. Dale’s previous article
“Shotgun At 215 MPH,” describing his ride with Derek Bell in a Porsche 956, was
published in the February 2012 Porsche Panorama.
Dale has also been a contributor to Voices From The Trunk and recently his story
and photographs “A European In Ohio,” about NORPCA’s Mike Immarino and his
Porsche 356, was published in the July 2015 Panorama. Dale’s archive of motor
racing photographs are at: http://poeticsofspeed.com.

Porsche winter wheel tire combo. set
of 4 in excellent condition. Rims are
18” original Porsche sport cup OEM rims
from a 2004 Boxster and most recently
used for one winter on my 2014 Cayman
S, (I did not need spacers) otherwise only
one winter season for these rims and only
2000 miles on the Blizzaks. Wheels Front:
7.5Jx18 ET50 996.362.134.05 Rear:9Jx18
ET52 996.362.138.00 Tires are 235/40 r 18 all
around. My Cayman was extremely stable
on these wheels in a tough Cleveland winter
even though its stock wheels were 20” Bolt
pattern 5x130 fits all Porsche models.
Borla cat back exhaust was run on my 2014
Cayman S for 1 year - about 15000 miles and
still runs great, sounds throaty and bad Ass!
I received many compliments on the sound
from this unit. No drone but it is much
louder than the stock exhaust. It is a cat
back system - very easy to install. Cost $1600
new. Sell $800. No problems, stainless steel
with 4” exhaust tips. All items can be picked
up in Chagrin Falls area. John 440-670-2802

Checkered Flag
Les Checel
At January NOR board meeting it was announced that Lakeland Community College
has withdrawn its permission for us to use their parking lots for autocross purposes. In
a notification we received from the LCC administration it was stated that although we
had been trouble free tenants for many years, it was no longer possible to continue our
association starting in 2016. The college has been given a grant to erect a building on
the acreage formerly used as a student parking lot. So it’s goodbye to planting pylons
there on Sundays.
Our new President, Bryan, has had experience in searching the local area for autocross
pavement. He said he found it to be a difficult task. Therefore, he asked all in attendance
at the board meeting to help join in the search. So I am asking you to solicit any friends
and neighbors in the commercial real estate business to help us find a property. It would
have to be vacant on a Sunday; preferably something like a closed shopping mall or
office building site. Liability insurance is not a problem since PCA National provides $10
mil coverage for autocross events.
Our autocross chairmen, John Hulick and Doug Bradley, have already begun a search,
but the more eyes & ears we have on the hunt, the sooner we can find a solution. NOR
has a brand new autocross equipment trailer (see December ’15 Voices). Now we need a
place to park it.
