August Meeting – Wed., August 15th Appraisals & Car Show Our August will be our annual Appraisal Night combined with a gimmick judged car show in the lot at Bungs Tavern. This will be a great reason to get out for a mid-week drive to Bung’s and have fun with fellow Schattenbaumers. Members can have their Porsches appraised by our own Guru of All Things Porsche Dan Petchel. Having a recent appraisal is of great value to owners should there be an insurance issue regarding the value of your vehicle. We will gather at 6:00pm with light refreshments served at 6:30. Many members come early and enjoy dinner at Bung’s. Left: Dan P admires a 914 at a recent club event. Right: These lovely ladies aren’t likely to be at the meeting but who knows what surprises Robert H has for the August meeting? (come to Bung’s to find out!) Photos by Bob Helm MOST meetings take place at Bung’s Tavern on Rt. 130. For directions and more info go to Bung’s website: http://bungstavern.net/ By Rob Lerman with photos by Gerd Lengfeld Schattenbaum held its 10th annual Lobster Run on Sunday June 10th. Turnout was impressive with roughly 25 cars and 40 people. The location for this year’s event was Bar-Anticipation in Belmar. The event was held in Bar-A’s Mahogany room surrounded by numerous bars, a man-made beach and notable and relatively young crowd of partygoers who look like they just hopped off the real beach. Weather was fantastic, upper 70s and not a cloud in the sky - great touring weather. Participants raved about the food, which included Manhattan Clam Chowder, tomato and mozzarella appetizer, 1-1/2 lb lobsters cooked to perfection, baked potato, green beans and assorted berries for desert. I think we may have found a new resting spot! Special thanks to Nick Sapner for recommending the place, Mike Sokoloff for volunteering to lead the South Tour group and Claudia Debusmann for taking care of registration. Thanks again to all who participated and I hope you enjoyed it as much as my wife Kim and I did.

The ample parking facilities and great backdrop of Mercer Park West afford us an opportunity to have our cars on display, so shine up those cars and get out the cameras! Participation in the car show is optional. By Fred Pack A dream (that never was) come true! I would say that this story is about a dream come true except that I never even had the dream. Here’s what happened … Recently I became an instructor for the Empire State Ferrari Club and I attended their 2-day May Watkins Glen event that was run just like a PCA DE. I ran my Boxster S in the red/instructor group and my student, who was a ½ owner of a Ferrari Challenge Cup car, was in the Blue (Solo) group. I devoted my instructing to the usual material – smooth inputs, learn the line, be consistent, etc. My student did his best and was a reasonable Blue-level driver. It was clear to me that this Ferrari was a magnificent example of the Prancing Horse. Riding in it was a very different experience than I generally get in a DE. That evening I was telling someone how impressed I was with the Ferrari and he replied that obviously I should ask the owners if I could drive it. I hadn’t thought of this myself but as soon as I heard it I realized it was a great idea so the next day I asked them if I could drive the car for a few laps in the Green group – just to get a sense of what it was like. I’d drive very slowly, I promised them. They responded that I should take it out for a full session in the Blue group with my student as the passenger and give it my best shot. To say that I was pleased is a great understatement. The car is a 2000 F360 Challenge Cup car. This is the competition version of the 400hp V8 F360 road car, and is the Ferrari equivalent of the Porsche GT3 Cup Car, substantially lightened from the street car with lots of carbon fiber and equipped with a double-clutch paddle-shifter transmission. I had some trepidation but that very quickly dissipated as I got down to work. I had never driven a paddle shifter car before but I found that it couldn’t be easier. To upshift, simply pull on the right-side paddle, with no need to lift off the throttle. To downshift, pull the left-side paddle and the system perfectly blips the throttle to match the revs. It couldn’t be easier. (This system is the Ferrari equivalent of the Porsche PDK gearbox. Interestingly, at another DE a week later my student asked me to drive his paddle-equipped BMW M6. In the BMW the paddles turn along with the steering wheel. In the Ferrari, they are always at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions. I much preferred the Ferrari approach since in the BMW you couldn’t be sure where the paddles are. The Porsche arrangement is like the BMW, so in my opinion the Ferrari has the preferable approach.) Car enthusiasts often discuss which is better – manual gearbox or paddle-shift. My Boxster S has a manual, and I enjoy doing the shifting. It connects me to the car and gives me a sense of involvement in the act and art of driving. But I now fully appreciate that for track driving the paddle shifter is objectively better. The shifts happen in a tiny fraction of a second and you never have to get off the throttle on upshifts. By contrast, each upshift in a manual requires most of a second being off-throttle – this alone will cost you a lot of time, each and every lap. Also, with the paddle shifter you get to keep both hands on the wheel at all times, which is meaningful. Lastly, you don’t have to devote any concentration to your shifting. Add it all up and the paddle shifter comes out the winner. The F360 Challenge is a staggering machine. It has superb balance being midengined like the Boxster/Cayman, great acceleration (less than 2500 lbs and 410hp) and fantastic cornering capability. The most startling element for me, though, was the braking. The car had racing slick tires. I had never driven a car on slicks before and I can only say that as unbelievable as the cornering speeds were, it was the braking which was most astonishing. When I would get on the brakes hard as in slowing for WGI’s Turn1 and the Bus Stop, I would feel as if I was punched in the shoulders by the seatbelts. You just don’t get that level of braking on street tires or even on R-compound DOT-legal track tires. The actual brakes were Brembos as used on Porsches, so the difference was the tires. I spent my half-hour devouring most of the other cars on the track -- the notable exceptions were the F458 Challenge cars which flew by me just as I flew by the other cars. The session was so thrilling and was truly a dream come true (even though I hadn’t had the dream). The car was just amazing and I can see why so many of our PCA friends have bought GT3 Cup Cars – these experiences are addicting. At about the 20-minute mark of my session I realized that when I got back to the pits I would likely be asked what I thought of the car, and the obvious answer popped into my head. Sure enough, as I got out of the car at the end of the session one of the owners asked, “So, what did you think of the car?” I gave my prepared answer, “I shouldn’t have asked for the ride.” He replied, “I understand; now you want to buy one.” 2012 Tour and Concours Schedule July TBD 7 (Sat) August 4 (Sat) 18 (Sat) September 1 (Sat) 15 (Sat) 29 (Sat) TBD October 27 (Sat) November 10 (Sat) 24 (Sat) TBD December 8 (Sat) 22 (Sat) Lunch tour Cars n’ Coffee Jersey Shore Cherry Hill Cars n’ Coffee Cars n’ Coffee Cherry Hill Cherry Hill Cars n’ Coffee Cars n’ Coffee Cars n’ Coffee Driving Tour Cherry Hill Cherry Hill Cherry Hill Cars n’ Coffee Cherry Hill Cars n’ Coffee Cars n’ Coffee Driving Tour or Concours Cherry Hill Cherry Hill Cars n’ Coffee Cars n’ Coffee Cherry Hill Cherry Hill “Damn, this Kool Shirt is a babe magnet - I should’ve started wearing it a long time ago!” This list of touring events and car shows will be up-dated as events are confirmed.

By Rob Lerman with photos by Dan Merton and Dave Kalokitis Schattenbaum held its annual Spring Wine Tasters Concours at Amalthea Winery in Atco, New Jersey on May 20th. We had a very nice turnout, many interesting and very clean cars in a setting with the vineyard as a backdrop. This year we had two categories; Porsches model years 2000-2012 and models pre-2000. The overall winner for the 2000-2012 category was Gerd Langenfeld and his immaculate 2005 911. The overall winner in the Pre-2000 category was Dave Frank for his gleaming 1986 911 Turbo. Craig Mollenhauer won the Judges’ Choice award with his clean, rust-free 1975 914. Special thanks to all those that helped make the day go smoothly, including judges Pete Debusmann, Kevin Marcus and Gerd Langenfeld (no, he didn’t judge his own car,) Membership Chair Kim Lerman, Social Chair Claudia Debusmann and Club President Alex Hilgetag.

DM DK The weather cooperated and we enjoyed fabulous food and drink - it was another great Club event! DM DK DM DM Bob Helm One of the first things you learn when photographing sports is that not all media credentials are equal. Some give you more access than others and some put you higher in the pecking order for key shooting locations. Media outlets like Sports Illustrated and Getty images will often have first pick of key locations but the king of the hill are TV Networks followed by radio. At the NJMP Continental Challenge someone forgot that and violated the First Commandment; Thou shalt not get in the way of TV, by interfering with one of the post race interviews. Fortunately this was a tape-delayed race, Sunday’s Grand Am of course is live. This prompted a meeting on Sunday morning to “remind” everyone and mention that any violator who held a Grand Am or NASCAR Hard Card (full season credentials) would lose them immediately and permanently. TV pays the bills and is king. Then they went into the post race ceremonies to reassure everyone that they would get what they needed. The post race period is carefully choreographed to satisfy everyone’s needs. At Grand Am (and ALMS) it is less structured than at NASCAR because there are fewer sponsors but the familiar “Hat Dance” is a key element along with the post race TV interview, the Podium Trophy Ceremony and Champagne spray. Normally I do not photograph these as you have to get there early, it is a mob scene and while most pro equipment is “water resistant” it is not Champagne proof and I have seen a few cameras and lenses make a trip to the shop for a professional cleaning (read costly disassembly and cleaning). This time was different as Andy Lally had the possibility of his 100th Podium in Grand Am competition. If you watch races on TV you are familiar with part of the activities. The winner and the top two cars pull into the winner’s circle where they are met by co drivers and crew. They answer a few questions car-side and then move to the podium for the trophy presentation. In races with more than one class they repeat it for each class. What you do not see on TV is that when the DP drivers get out they start with the routine I just described and get a short break before going to the podium while the TV crew repeats with the GT drivers. GT drivers get a short break while waiting for the DP activities to conclude before they start their interviews. At the conclusion of the GT interviews the GT drivers go to the Media Room where print media interviews commence (like the F1 interview post race interview room). At the same time the DP drivers go to get their trophies. They then go to the Media Room and the GT drivers go to the Podium. This is a change from how they used to do it according to the Grand Am official. They used to send the DP drivers into the interview room first, ending the TV show with the DP trophy presentation. The change was caused by the fact that after the winners were interviewed most of the media left and the GT drivers showed up to an empty media room. Most interest was on the overall winner. At one time the big draw was the prototype class as that is where the state of the art cars from Porsche, Audi, Ferrari, etc competed and GT was mostly Pro-Am drivers that helped fill the grid. Now the DP is spec racing with cars that, for cost reasons, do not change from year to year. With ALMS gone are the factory teams and they have a hard time filling the grid with competitive cars and drivers. In both series the real competition is in the GT classes. More cars, more marques, more passing, more excitement and more fan interest but second class coverage by the media. Look around the paddock at any race and you will see Porsche, Corvette, Ferrari, BMW and Mazda corrals with hundreds of cars. Do you see a single manufacturer of DP chassis like Riley or Crawford? No, not one. Prototype racing is fun to watch when you have top Manufacturer teams competing with state of the art cars. The problem for Grand Am and ALMS is trying to make prototype racing attractive to manufactures while maintaining some control over cost. BMW and Porsche have been lobbying for more international cooperation on rules so that they can build one car that can compete in many series. We live in a time where there is tremendous innovation in automobile design, engine and fuel, traction control, along with aero packages and even autonomous driving control. Yet in DP we get cars that with the exception of the new Riley built “Corvette” the cars have looked the same for the last ten years. Even in ALMS most of the prototype cars look alike. Exciting cars like the Porsche 917, 935, 936 and the RS Spyder just do not meet the rules or the new spirit of competition. Andy Lally’s 100th Grand Am Podium. Dan Petchel Porsche Sports Cars During the course of a week I talk to many people about their older cars and get phone calls about parts, upgrades and generally how to fix things. Some folks get caught up in the aftermarket add-ons while others want speed. However, there is a great misconception about speed and upgrading older Porsches. Translated, this means some owners are going the wrong direction. We have great sports cars but yes, they can be made better. Sounds like a good topic for an article, so here goes. 1. Everybody starts with wanting more horsepower. Wrong. They should be looking for speed (speed and horsepower are two different things). 2. Next let’s put on a trick exhaust. Wrong again. The only street exhaust worth anything is the SSI system made for 75-89 911’s. 3. Next we need bigger brakes. You guessed it, wrong again. You wanted to go faster, and what do brakes do? Correct – they slow you down. Besides, big brakes add weight. 4. Now we need fancy wheels. Wrong, but you are getting closer. 5. Rear wing. Half right. 6. Bigger sway bars. Again, half right. Dan Merton Now that we have those items out of the way, we can really start going faster. 1. Suspension. All Porsches (except the GT 3) make compromises for street handling as opposed to going fast in the corners. The compromises are made in the ride height, ride quality, stiffness, camber and toe. Compromises need to be made because of smooth ride, road conditions, clearance issues and DOT standards. The answers are to lower the car, stiffen it up, and put camber in it. Best cars for this are the 90 newer 911s. The 944s have an advantage here for they came with coil over suspension (though other limitations come in to play). 2. Tires. Tires need to be ultra-high performance with a soft compound, little tread and wide. Hoosiers are what you want for the track (see you were close on wheels). 3. Brake performance. Porsches come from the factory with great brakes but with a brake pad compound that is a compromise for high performance driving (i.e., too soft a compound). High performance brake pads for the track are designed to work and hold up under extreme temperatures. These allow a consistent feel and stopping power. Higher temperature brake fluid is not a bad idea, either. 4. Seats. Most Porsche seats (except for the Euro GT3 seats) are designed for some support but mostly for getting in and out of the car. Without the right seats you will use the steering wheel to hold on to rather than steer. One needs a true sports racing seat for the track and spirited driving situations. 5. Belts. Normal seat belts are designed to hold you in place in extreme movement or an accident. Racing harnesses are design to hold you in place making you, the seat and car one. Now you can drive. 6. Aero work. (Yes I know, comes with a GT3) A rear wing will create down force along with a front spoiler or splitter to prevent air going under the car and create lift. 7. The sum of the total: All improvements should work together and not conflict with each other. That is the real trick that few consider – the final result really can be more than the sum of the parts. With all this being said, Porsche still makes about the best sports car out of the box and that is why we love them so. Drive the cars. Classified ads are free to PCA members.
