Auf Der Straße
O
ne of the consequences of having
a hobby in today’s
world of constant
exposure to professional marketers is
that someone is always trying to sell
you something. My phone and computer can be heard dinging, beeping
and buzzing non-stop, alerting me to
new marketing emails with a great
deal that I cannot pass up. My vinyl
record hobby, especially, has become
my “buy it now” kryptonite, enticing
me continuously with new music,
reissues of older stuff and box sets
of more stuff that probably do not
need. If I was more of a sensible guy,
I would go for that $9.99 per month
subscription to Apple Music, have
30 million songs in my cloud and be
done with all of this physical media
nonsense. But sensible, I am not.
The other day, my inbox was
met with an ad for a recent Simon &
Garfunkel box set of their entire (six
records) Columbia Records catalog.
Now lately I have been better about
resisting the urge to buy reissues of
albums, especially when I already
own older copies. It is mostly economic, as these new pressings are
generally more costly than CDs or
digital downloads. They also take
up room, though - my living room,
actually. There are only so many
versions of “Aja” that you can own (I
think I have five or six - don’t judge
me). Record companies love reissues.
They appeal to people that do not
have an original copy of course, but
they also attract the “completists.”
These are the people that own, well,
six copies of “Aja.” They have even
started reissuing their reissues. Miles
Davis’ Kind of Blue was a master-

piece, both musically and sonically,
on just about every medium, probably
including the Victrola. But do you need
five versions of it? I might have carried this logic over to this new Simon
& Garfunkel box-o-reissues, especially
since there is no shortage of Bridge
Over Troubled Water in the used vinyl
bins. Finding original copies of all five
of those Columbia catalog albums in
perfect, noiseless condition on vinyl,
however, is a tall - and expensive order, (or so I reasoned as I entered in
my credit card information). Hey, it was
Labor day weekend and it was on sale.
Don’t judge.
The albums are truly wonderful, by
the way. I must have heard “The Sound
of Silence” dozens of times, but never
in the way that these records captured
these two young guys at the onset of
their careers (or the pinnacle, if you are
Garfunkel). No longer dusty sounding
tracks from a greatest hits CD, the guitars have resonance and bite and their
harmonies are distinct and pitch-perfect.
These songs once again have life and
youth, and perhaps a touch of leftover
1960s despair instilled deep within the
grooves. There were also songs of hope
and change, though. One on that first
album, called “3 AM Wednesday Morning,” the duo covered another iconic
musician’s song - Bob Dylan’s “The
Times They Are-A-Changin.” I could
not help but snicker a bit in the irony of
me listening to this song, played back
on a new vinyl record in 2015. I guess
as much as things change, perhaps they
also stay the same. Or maybe just the
very best parts remain.
Lately I have been taking notice
of all of the changes in my world over
the past thirty years or so. I am not
sure what started me thinking about it.
Perhaps it is the onset of middle age. It
is also likely to have developed because
of my new view through my nine year
old daughter’s eyes. Sometimes she will
notice something and point it out to me
and it makes me think a whole different way. For example, the other day
we were watching an episode of “Full
House” (talk about old things becoming popular) and she was puzzled to
see one of the characters talking on a
phone. The phone, you see, had a cord
attached - something that most nine
year olds have never seen before. “Is
that like a phone, dad?” she asks. “It IS
a phone.” I answer. “Huh” she shrugs,
before focusing again on whatever John
Stamos was doing. If you really stop
and think about what your house, your
office, your life looked like in 1980 and
compared it with today, there are so
many changes that have forever altered
our lives. So many new inventions and
technologies have come during my
lifetime - and some already have gone.
I remember for example when I first
heard that you could record and watch
your own tapes - on a TV. There was
Betamax, VHS, Pioneer’s Laserdisc and
then eventually the DVD. The DVD is
still alive and well (at least for now) but
there are at least two generations that
have never seen a tape medium for anything. My generation also saw the first
generation of home personal computers
and its steady progression from 64kb
powerhouse with a green-hued CRT and
dot matrix printer, to the arrival of the
mouse with the first MacIntosh’s of the
mid-80’s, to the place we are today with
a computer built into just about everything we can buy. I could go on and on,
but I am sure you get the point.
One thing I have noticed about
more recent advancements, is how they
seem to be less focused on a defined
single purpose and more focused on
being tools for future innovation. For
example some time ago, Motorola
redefined the cellular phone as it existed
at the time from being a rather large
and awkwardly-proportioned object, to
being a much smaller device by virtue
of a flip-shut cover. The “flip phone”
redefined how you could carry and use a
personal cellular device because it could
easily fit in a pants or jacket pocket. In
terms of what you could do with the
device, it was basically the same function as the one still attached to Uncle
Jesse’s wall. Fast forward to 2015, and
the launch of the newest iPhone reveals
a dramatically different approach to the
intent of the technology. Sure, it is still
a phone. And it can access Al Gore’s invention, the internet. And it can retrieve
your emails, take your photos and entertain you
with games.
The real
technology,
however,
is what is
embedded in the
iPhone (or
android).
They have
onboard
GPS, three-axis gyros (motion sensors), ambient light sensors, an onboard
barometer, fingerprint sensors, microdetailed location sensors and an accelerometer. “So what?” you might say, about
any of these features by themselves. I
mean, there are probably one or two obvious uses for each item. The real magic
is what the developers are able to do
with the entire suite of sensors and available technology that is crammed into
these small, Swiss-Army like devices.
For example, several companies have
developed a heart rate program using the
digital flash on the camera as its sensor.
I have no idea how it works, but it does.
Developers are working on all kinds of
creative solutions to everyday tasks and
problems, by playing with the tools in
the toolboxes of these devices. And as
a result, lives are being made simpler,
more convenient and even healthier
as a direct result on technology that
they carry with them every day in their
pocket.
Another technology that has moved
along, more or less as a direct result of
all of these smartphones in the world,
are rechargeable batteries. If you can
remember the rechargeable batteries of
yesteryear, they were pretty dreadful.
They did not hold a charge for long,
they took forever to recharge and they
had a relatively limited lifespan of
charges before they would die for good.
They were temperature sensitive, and if
you did not follow the proper charging
protocols, you could kill the battery by
not charging it at the correct time. Many
many million phones later, the batteries
they are using now are, not surprisingly,
just plain impossible. I always thought
back to those primitive electric cars
that I would see in the 1970s at the car
show. They looked like a smaller, more
angular Gremlin. I think that Ed Begley,
Jr. may have owned one. They could go
around 20 miles per hour and probably a couple of miles on a charge. It
was basically an electric golf cart with
license plates.
Probably using much of the same
determination that helped launch his
earlier success, Paypal, Musk quieted
the cynics first with a small, Lotusbased battery-powered sports car and
then followed up with his groundbreaking Model S sedan. I had the opportunity to drive Manish Gupta’s Tesla about
a year ago and it definitely changed
the way
I think
about
electric
cars. I
guess
that I
expected
that
the car
would be
whisper
quiet
(and it was), smooth (ditto) and quick
(the YouTube videos tell that story),
but there was so much that I had not
expected that pleasantly surprised me.
The dashboard, for example, is all digital and the center console is like one big
iPad. Want to move things around? Go
ahead. There are options and switches
that are more akin to an Apple iOS
device than a car. And speaking of
that - the Tesla can get updates just like
your iPhone - right over the internet.
Some of these updates simply tweak
the programming of the car, but others make wholesale additions of new
features. The car also keeps track of its
own maintenance, which is minimal
since there are very few moving parts
to electric motors. While that in itself
is not groundbreaking, the fact is that it
contacts Tesla to check in and monitor
itself automatically. Remember, too,
“Elon Musk set out to prove everyone
wrong when he started his car
company, Tesla Motors.”
a whole lot better. They are smaller, they
last longer, they charge faster and they
are more stable than ever before. That
last part about batteries being stable is
no small matter, especially when they
are being placed in devices that people
carry in their pockets. It is also important when they are used in other devices
- much larger devices - like automobiles.
Elon Musk set out to prove everyone wrong when he started his car company, Tesla Motors. Business analysts
and would-be investors said that they
could never succeed and turn a profit.
The automobile industry agreed on the
profitability claims, but also doubted
whether this project could ever come
close to getting off the ground. Starting a car company using conventional
technology, after all, is difficult enough.
Using batteries and electric motors
without any gasoline-based assistance is
5
Auf Der Straße
that there is no oil, coolant or gas to
worry about.
At the heart of the car are those
batteries, similar to the one in your
phone. There are a lot of them on a big
tray that runs along the bottom chassis of the car. The advances in battery
life and characteristics over the years
have made a car like the Tesla possible.
The concept of an electric car could
only succeed if it was a viable, usable
alternative to the gasoline powered
car. When range is a few miles, that
may work for a Hollywood activist
actor, but not for working schmoes.
The Tesla can stretch to 300 miles on a
charge, making it more than acceptable
for most executives’ daily commute. It
is not an inexpensive car largely due to
those batteries which are its lifeblood.
One insider had said that the Model S
is really more of a $40,000-$50,000
car, but the batteries raise the price
to its typical $80,000-$90,000 sticker
price. The good news is that they are
selling more iPhones and Teslas than
ever. And with every one sold, you
have to think that the battery is becoming better and less expensive. It does
not hurt that one of Elon Musk’s next
goals is to get into the battery making
business.
It is not surprising that other
luxury car brands have taken notice of
Tesla’s success and are rethinking their
strategy in the market. Both Mercedes
and Porsche, in fact, have unveiled
their fully battery-powered concept
cars at the Frankfurt Auto Show. The
Mercedes is very attractive, with its
sporting three-pointed star embedded
in its grille (an electric grille?). The
new Porsche concept, however, is pure,
unadulterated sex on wheels. Called
the Mission E, it definitely lives up to
its name – it is on a mission to destroy
any chances of Tesla stealing the electric sports car marketplace. It is just
lovely, with lines draped in a silvery
white, flowing with a sinewy grace
from bow to stern. The headlights are
beautifully worked into the nose of
the car, with only a small grill along
the bottom, presumably for HVAC,
6
brake cooling or battery cooling. Current Porsches with batteries onboard
use cleverly-designed water-cooling
systems to keep the batteries at the
optimum temperature for performance,
lifespan and safety. I suspect the new
model will incorporate the same technology in some form. Of course, this is
only a prototype. Then again, so were
the Boxster and Panamera prototypes
and this one looks at least as production-ready as those previous show cars
did.
I have to say that this Mission E
prototype has left me kind of stunned.
It is the absolute antithesis of everything I have ever loved about Porsches.
I have always cherished the mechanical feel of the air-cooled 911 sports car
experience, from the way the doors
open and close, to the sound of the flat
six behind the rear axle (where God
told Ferry to put it). I love the smell of
oil and gas, and the sore muscles from
autocrossing a car with manual steering. Analog all the way, baby.
But this new car just takes my
breath away. What it gives up in
gasoline and oil, it will make up for in
brutal DC-powered acceleration. My
daily-driver Cayenne S gets 15mpg on
a good tank and I suspect this car will
return at least a few days per charge.
The 911 sings a beautiful, mechanical cacophony on a back road, but I
am sure that the whisper quiet interior
(perhaps decked out with a Burmeister
sound system) would be enjoyable for
most of life’s journeys. I have decided
that this car (or the production version
whenever that should arrive) is something that I can truly lust after. And is
not lust why you buy a Porsche in the
first place?
Probably more than anything is a
small sigh of relief that the adaptation
of this modern technology - technology
which cannot be reasonably ignored
even by a stalwart performance automobile brand like Porsche - does not
mean the end of the marque as we
know it. Quite the contrary. There is
never going to be a Porsche-branded
Prius competitor, just as there was
never a Porsche minivan. Porsche
engineers are using this new technology to chase new design goals with the
new tools afforded to them in the form
of batteries and DC power. And at the
same time, they are clearly incorporating the passion and innovation that
made the older models so great. Something tells me that Tech Tactics will be
fun in upcoming years when we fully
pull back the layers to this onion.
“Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who
That it’s namin’
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are
a-changin’”

Hitting Apexes
A
s this is the October P4Us
we should be about ready
to hold our next DE
(October 17-18) at the really fun
Lightning track and New Jersey
Motorsports Park (NJMP). Not
too long after that on October
30 – November 1 we will have
our final event at Virginia International Raceway (VIR). Just as a
reminder, in 2016 we will be back
at Watkins Glen for our usual Advanced DE in mid-September.
In an article or two ago, I
wrote about the different phases of
a turn and that there is an optimal
line through every corner. For
consistency, the driver will need
a set of fixed reference points to
mark the phases of the corner, so
the line can be driven identically
every lap.
Reference Points
At most DE’s, we supply the
critical reference points with nice
bright orange cones. There
is a school of thought that
on day two of an event and
particularly day three of a
three day event, we should
pull the cones. The point
of this article is to get you
to think about developing
reference points, other than
the orange cones.
Upon approaching a corner,
the driver needs a fixed point to
use as a reference for starting the
turn-in. Guessing each time or
By Tom Iervolino l Track Chair
“going by the feel” will guarantee
that the driver will turn in too soon
sometimes, and too late other times.
Inconsistent and slower than perfect
lap times (not that we are timing)
will result. The first time you drive
a new track you must determine the
correct starting point for the turn-in
and find a permanent visual landmark to use for reference.
Next, is the apex point. This is the
target point that the inside tire of the
car should touch as it reaches the
maximum inside point of the driving line. Again, without a fixed point
to target, inconsistency and slower
times will result. Last, is the exit
point. This is the target point after
the apex that the car tracks out to on
the opposite side of the track and is
completely pointed straight again, or
is otherwise pointed properly for the
next corner.
In each case, the reference point
should be a permanent land mark.
A tire skid on the track is no good.
Other skids later on could obscure
for unique features in the road itself
if possible. Some tracks have permanent signs in the braking zones. You
might start braking exactly at one of
the markers, or a car length before
or after.
At the corner apex, most permanent road course tracks will have the
white or red & white cement rumble
strips. When you find the right apex
point, note whether it is half way,
three-quarters, or wherever, and aim
for that spot each time.
The corner exit reference point
can be the toughest to find. Many
tracks have exit markers just like the
apex which can be used, but not all.
You may have to search for other
fixed landmarks off the track that the
car exit path lines up with such as
telephone poles, trees, or signs.
What about a reference point for
the start of braking? There is some
debate about this. Some people
suggest that there should not be a
reference point for the start of braking. The argument is that the turn-in
point is the focus, and the
driver must learn to sense
when to start the braking to achieve the proper
speed at the turn-in point.
It is assumed that some
laps will be faster than
others because traffic is
involved, and with all
the original one. Likewise, a particu- these variables, the focus must be

“In each case, the

“...one of the key attributes of skilled driving is
consistency, and one of the keys to
consistency is reference points.”
Nevertheless, one of the key
attributes of skilled driving is
consistency, and one of the keys
to consistency is reference points.
In any high performance driving,
a braking reference point is just as
effective for marking the capabilities of the car’s performance (for
braking) as is the turn-in point (for
corner entry grip), and acceleration point (for corner exit grip).
An example of where a braking
reference point is a must, is a
blind corner. A corner at the top
of, or just below, the crest of a hill
will not be visible to the driver
during braking.
The debate of whether there is
or should be a reference point for
braking is largely semantics. Physiologically, your mind and body
needs some reference to know
when to start braking, and how to
make that action consistent. For
braking, the term “reference point”
itself describes the purpose. It is
a point of reference, and will not
be so much a “target” as it is for
the turn-in, apex, and exit points.
If the driver is at maximum speed
before the turn, he’s going to need
to know when to start braking. If
another lap is slower, he’ll know
he can start braking a little later.
Regardless of how it is used and
whether you call it a “reference
point” or not, having a point or
reference for the maximum braking performance of the car for
each turn avoids guessing.
So, the next time you are on
track, establish your reference
points and see how they work for
you or ask your Instructor or a
Chief, what they use. I remember
asking Bill Gilbert what his turn in
point was for Turn 1 at Watkins and
he mentioned something about a
square shape outlined on the track
where the pavement was re-surfaced
or seal coated. Opps!! Watkins is being repaved so we are going to need
to find something else Bill. LOL.
Thanks to Turn Fast for the material
for this article.
“...having a point or reference for the
maximum braking performance of the car for
each turn avoids guessing.”

Concours Corner
Summer Concours at the
Deutscher Club
Sponsored By Town Porsche
A
fter a several year absence, NNJR returned to one of
the finer locations in the area for concours events on
July 13. The Deutscher
Club of Clark has it all. Appealing
and easy to reach location, great
food, excellent staff and plenty of
display area parking in a park like
setting. The club is very supportive of the area car clubs hosting
events for BMW, Mercedes and
American Classics. The evening
before our event they hosted the
Northern New Jersey Section of
the Mercedes Club. They also
have much to offer in the realm of
family accommodations as they
have a play area for the children.
The day started off picture perfect
with sunny skies and low humidity. Considering the weather pattern in the days leading up to the
12
By Jeff McFadyen and Murray Kane l NNJR Concours Chairs
event, this was an unexpected bonus.
Registration opened at 10am with the
efficient team of Nadine Sliwa, Margie
McFadyen and Akemi Kane. Murray Kane and Stu French handled the
staging duties. Everyone on the team
being veteran event managers, allowed
for a stress free start to the day. Early
arrivals were treated to donuts and
Deutscher Club fresh brewed coffee
to help them get off on the right foot.
When staging was complete we had
over 30 cars ranging from Lake Underwood’s famous 1957 356 that was raced
with much success by his father in the
1960’s to Michele and John Schrade’s
2015 981 Boxster. At 10:30 with
staging complete, the judging teams
fanned out to begin their inspections.
We should note that while all this was
going on, the kids were having a blast in the play area. Keep
this in mind when planning to attend future events as the
club always strives to hold events that are fun for kids of all
ages. The judges had quite a task this day as it being midway
through the season, even the novice group participants were
extremely well prepared requiring a keen eye on the judge’s
part. Fortunately this group of judges is experienced and
knows where to look. This was truly a concours with tight
competition as many classes had scores separated by mere
tenths of a point. We believe one of the factors contributing
to this degree of preparation are the workshops we hold on
concours prep early in the year. These events teach new and
no so new members how to prepare for a show as well as
how to care for their Porsche. It seems to have paid off for
several of the newer members.
Lunch time saw the Deutscher Club staff serving, hamburgers, hot dogs and of course bratwurst. Liquid refreshments
included German beer and wine. Being a summer event, we
had ice-cream and watermelon for desert. Hot pretzels were
also on the desert menu. We noted these were a big hit with
all ages. One of the reasons we could afford to have such a
generous spread is Town Porsche of Englewod’s sponsorship of the 2015 concours season. Please make sure to thank
them whenever they are present at one of our events. While
the group was enjoying lunch, the judges completed their
work allowing head scorer Jeff McFadyen with the aid of
Ed Vazquez to finish his work. Talk about tight competition.
First, second and third place in more than half the judged
classes was decided by tenths of a point. Now you understand what we meant by tight competition.
Now let us get to the winners. P1 Class saw Jeff and Margie
McFadyen in 1st place with their pristine 1957 Sahara Beige
357 Outlaw. P2 was won by a novice team that is having
quite a year. Including a class win at the Zone 1 Concours.
Ellen and Bruce Hays took the podium with their classic
Yellow 1974 914. The next team known in the past more for
their winning rally ways has been of late producing quite the
winning concours record. Joann and Peter Schneider joined
the winners circle in P3 with their well prepared 1994 white
968. P4 1st place winner Randy Partridge not only had a
score a few tenths off perfection, but is also the proud owner
of what has to be one of the finest examples of a red 1974
911 in the club. P5 1st place winner Fred Simonson is no
stranger to the winner’s circle having already accomplished
the feat of a perfect score earlier in the season. Fred again
showed his skills at preparation with a score of 224.8 with
13
Concours Corner
his stunning and much sought after 1989 Guards Red 911
Cabriolet. Steve Kroeger back on the circuit after missing the
early part of the season with mechanical issues.took 1st in
the hotly contested P6 class by one tenth of a point with his
super clean silver 1997 911/993.
Former NNJR Concours Chair extraordinaire Hank Menkes
topped the competition in P7 with a score of 224.9 with his
awesome Carmon Red 2006 911. One tenth off a perfect
score. This class saw the top four entrants scores separated
by 8 tenths. Imagine that 4th place had a score of 224.1. P8
is another hotly contested class and usually the largest with
Boxsters and Caymans both vying for the win. Scores here
were even tighter than P7 with the top five cars separated by
six tenths of a point. When all was said and done the aforementioned 2015 white Boxster of Michele and John Schrade
sat atop the class with a perfect score. This score also gave
them “Best In Show.” P10 the NNJR Race Car Class saw
Lake Underwood bring home the gold. The last group to the
podium was the “People’s Choice” winners and in this group
veteran concours competitor Jeff Ervin bested the bunch
with his crowd pleasing silver 2000 Boxster. Jeff knows just
how to outfit his car to best the completion in this category.
We want to thank the Deutscher Club for being great hosts
and the entire NNJR staff for a great job helping to ensure a
pleasant and enjoyable event for all. We had many members
compliment the facility and thank us for a great event. This
is not possible without the contributions of our dedicated
judges, registrars, timers and runners. We greatly appreciate
all your efforts on behalf of the NNJR concours program.
The New Hope Car Show
August 9, 2015
W
hat a day, what an event. Imagine
250 cars of every marque. Some
so rare you may never have seen
one before. Oh and let us not forget DJ music, food vendors and assorted other vendors
hawking everything from insurance to cars.
This year’s show celebrated the convertible
and there were some truly exquisite examples on the field covering the years from the
beginning of automobile history to the year
2000. Entrants that brought convertibles
were given a special ribbon to commemorate their participation. This included several
in the Porsche group. This event is not an
NNJR concours. We participate and judge
14
the Porsche Division at the invitation of the New Hope
organization. We have won their respect by being the most
organized and efficient of the groups. After the show New
Hope head judge, Joe Moore made a point of thanking us for
making his job so much easier. Sunday is foreign car day as
Saturday is reserved for the American cars. Again as at the
Deutscher club we were fortunate to have a great weather
day. With over 40 Porsches on the field, we were the largest
group. No other marque had half as many cars. With four
judging teams each had ten or more cars. Quite a work load
and making for a tight schedule. Show cars to the year 2000
qualify for a New Hope Trophy. To make for a level playing
field for those competing for the 2015 NNJR Town Porsche
Championship Series, we allowed newer Porsche’s to enter
and we judged them for season points.
It was a busy morning for us with all we have to do despite
the New Hope organization being the registrars. We use our
NNJR score sheets so as each entrant is staged they have
to be assigned a number and given a score sheet. We were
so busy with this that we missed head judge Joe Moore’s
meeting. Needless to say this was noted and did not please
him. But as noted earlier, he was so pleased with our group
all was forgiven. Once we had finished distributing the score
sheets, NNJR head judge Murray Kane called the Porsche
judges to a meeting on the field and reviewed judging
protocols for the event. New Hope judging was scheduled
to start at 11am so the judges did have a little time to walk
the field and see where the cars in there group were parked.
As you can imagine we were not the only ones busy during
this time as the field was a beehive of activity with entrants
doing their last minute preps. Once judging started it was all
hands on deck. Judges, timers, runners and scorers all got
down to work. We have a little more than two hours to gets
done as we need to have the final results to the New Hope
team in time for them to prepare the 2pm Parade of Champions. While New Hope organizes and runs the Parade that
is for the 1st place class winners, NNJR awards the 2nd and
3rd place ribbons. We do this at the entrant’s car with a small
staff. This year head judge Murray Kane did the honors assisted by co-chair Jeff McFadyen, ribbon bearer Akemi Kane
and photographer, seven year old Jaiden Kane. The pictures
came out perfect. If helps to have a dad that is a professional
photographer; started him early.
With the cut off of the year 2000 we had eight classes as
opposed to the NNJR regular
concours classing of ten. The
first winner in the Porsche group
was Ray Paterek in P1 with his
perfectly self-restored and stunning maroon 1951 356. As Mel
Brook famously said in History
of the World, Part 1 “It’s good to
be king” A real crowd pleaser and
a restoration to be proud of. P2
winner Len Coloccia and Linda
Pellitteri are no strangers to the
winners circle having earlier in the
year taken 1st place at the Zone 1
Concours amongst many of their
numerous other awards with their
astonishingly well preserved red
914 1.8. Phil Stern continued his
domination of the P3 class this
season bringing his A game for
top honors in his immaculately
prepared Granite Green 1987 928 Phil
is consistently at the top of his class.
Bob McCaskey in P4 beat out five other
competitors for the win. Bob is a past
New Hope winner and it was quite obvious looking at his elegant red 1969 911
Targa. P5 was taken by Bill Harris with
his rare and beautiful red 1986 930. We
are sure this was a rewarding day for
Bill having been close to the top before
and just missing. This class at New
Hope has a history of close competition
and tight scores making his win ever
more rewardable. Bill informed us that
his wife had arrived just minutes before
he was informed of his win making the
moment ever more sweet. Akemi Kane
a top competitor in the regions concours
competitions, NNJR and others took top
honors in P6 with her high gloss black 911 Turbo. Akemi has
been having a super season with big wins on the regional,
zone and national level. Boxster class P8 belonged to Don
Lipira for the second year in a row at New Hope. Don’s
super clean Artic Silver 1999 Boxster was well prepared and
close to perfection. We expect we will be seeing Don at the
top again in the future. Lastly we have P10 with a name familiar to us all. Lake Underwood taking home the gold in his
race prepped blue 1957 356 Speedster with his second top
finish in as many competitions. So count them, 8 classes and
7 NNJR top finishes. What make this feat quite outstanding
15

is the field was approximately 50/50, NNJR members and

The Glen,
Driver Education &
Where It All Started
*Dennis reminiscing at Sky
Manor about the 100’s of
hours he spent training Marine
Corps pilots to fly in a T-28B.

“The Glen, where it all started, at a DE event,
where we recognized and thanked the one
man who started it all...”
W
e recently had our annual pilgrimage to
Watkins Glen, one of our favorite Driver
Education (“DE”) venues. The Glen is
an outstanding facility with a storied
motorsports history. Many of the world’s great drivers
have been there including those from Formula 1, Indy
Car, NASCAR, IMSA and yes, NNJR!
This year the event was a little different. Rather
than running the full 3.5 mile course with the famous
“Boot”, we were compelled to run what is known as
the “NASCAR course” because the “Boot” was being repaved. Now the “Boot” I am referring to is not
an infamous NJ mobster; instead it is part of the track
which is configured in the shape of a boot, complete
with sections known as the “Laces”, the “Toe” and the
“Sole”. Of course, for the many drivers who have been
coming to The Glen for years, this presented a new set
of challenges and made for some interesting and exciting moments in the Outer Loop and when entering the
notorious Turn 10 (the fast left hander before pit- in) as
we learned that Turn 10 is even faster than we previously thought.
Running this new NASCAR course also helped me
with my wife Lisa who thinks we are a bunch of fools
because “you go to the same places every year, driving
around in circles…. how much more could there be to
learn? If you have not figured it out in 20 years, what
are you going to learn this weekend?” I have repeatedly
tried to explain to Lisa that: (1) we do not drive around
in circles (perhaps she skipped geometry); (2) we
continue to learn and improve as drivers every time we
go to the track, even if it is by mere tenths of a second
since a mere second, just a tick on the watch, is about
132 feet on the track when averaging 90 mph; and (3)
even if we are not getting better or faster, our extremely
positive self-images enable us to tell each other how
much faster we are getting!
This year’s event at The Glen was particularly special. We had three days of outstanding weather, maybe
the best in my 20 plus years at The Glen. Tom Iervolino
did an outstanding job in organizing and implementing
the event with the cooperation of everyone in tech and
the core of talented instructors. Chief Instructors Knute
Hancock and Drew Karpinski maintained order on the
track. Bill Gilbert conducted his usual highly informative presentation in the classroom; this event the topic
being “Weight Transfer”…no, not the kind from too
many burgers and beers, rather how your driving inputs
affect the car’s traction and handling. President Drew
Karpinski presented Tom and all participants with the
traditional souvenir shirt marking the winding down of
Tom’s two-year stint as Track Chair. While we have always had super people running our track program, Tom
has certainly done as outstanding a job as has ever been
done! Kudos to Tom!
On Friday night, Frank Bennett, his son Frankie,
Anthony Castronovo, his brother Vinny, and Anthony
Vasaturo, the fun-loving pizza-making guys affectionately known as Scungilli Racing, put on the 5th Annual
Scungilli Fest at their rig in their paddock. They provided delicious food to guests who were asked to make
a donation to Bright Pink in the fight against breast cancer. All proceeds went to charity and Scungilli Racing
raised over $4,500 this year (and more than $12,000
over the 5 years!). Frank Bennett reminded all of us of
our many blessings, including how fortunate we are to
participate in this great sport and how we make each
other better people by supporting each other.
Our friends from Paul Miller Porsche were kind
enough to bring a fleet of new cars that could be viewed
and test driven including a 911 Carrera GTS, Cayenne
GTS, Macan and 911 Targa. Paul Miller also sponsored
our tremendous Saturday night barbecue prepared by
the renowned Dinosaur Bar-B-Que from Syracuse, NY.

“Someone had to be the first.”
The wings, ribs and pulled pork were excellent, and the
beer cold! Fun was had by all.
The Glen undeniably holds a special place in our
DE hearts since it is the birthplace of American road
racing dating back to 1948 and a fantastic track that
is home to NNJR’s premier DE event every year. One
of The GLEN’s mottos is “WHERE IT STARTED,
WHERE IT’S AT!” It was only fitting that we were at
The Glen, where it all started, at a DE event, where we
recognized and thanked the one man who started it all...
Someone had to be first.
Someone had to start this DE thing!
The guy with the vision who called Lime Rock in 1971
to arrange to rent the track so a group of Porsche
enthusiasts could drive their cars as fast as their skills
would permit.
The one man who is responsible for starting
PCA Driver Education.
For those of you who know a little bit about the history of PCA DE, you know I am talking about Dennis
Thovson. Yes… our very own Dennis Thovson started
it all!
Dennis has served the PCA and NNJR for more
than 50 years. He and his lovely wife Marlys have made
NNJR and PCA their extended family, treating all that
come and go through the Club like family. Dennis’ (and
Marlys’) list of service to the Club is almost limitless:
• President of PCA National
• President of the NJNJR Club
(and Marlys as NNJR Secretary for over 40 years!)
• A Chief Instructor for the Region forever.
• A true leader and tireless organizer.
• Polite, fair, always considerate of others and incredibly humble.
• A skilled, passionate and courteous driver on track.
• A consummate instructor when in the right seat.
• A true gentleman. A total class act.
30
Dennis embodies everything good about the Porsche
Club! For anyone who enjoys track events, even to the
slightest degree, you owe Dennis Thovson a great debt
of gratitude.
We paid special tribute to Dennis, our forever
Chief Instructor, because he advised us that this Glen
event would be his last event where he would be driving the red #18 RS America. While he still drives that
car like others before it with great skill and passion,
Dennis made the decision to hang up his driving shoes.
I am sure it was not an easy decision, but one we must
learn to respect. I know I speak for many in the Club,
and anyone who enjoys driving a Porsche at the track
when I say how much we appreciate what Dennis has
done for the PCA, NNJR, and most importantly, for
those of us with the same passion for driving our cars
in the DE program. We might not be on track but for
his vision. Dennis, please know that the fire you lit will
continue to burn through us all!! While we will miss
you on the track, we hope you continue to share your
considerable talents as an instructor with us.
With the full support of the instructor corps, Drew
Karpinski announced at Sunday’s Driver’s meeting that
the #18 will be forever retired from NNJR DE events
in tribute to Dennis - future Track Registrars and Track
Chairs take notice! In addition, the Track Program has
a special memento being prepared for Dennis to be
presented to him at a later date. And for those of you
who were not at The Glen, please thank Dennis next
time you see him. I know that there are many drivers
out there who are better, faster and safer because of the
“Safe, Serious, Fun“ DE events Dennis started.
Dennis….we admire, respect and love you for who you
are and what you have done for so many of us and so
many others. I am so very proud to be your friend.
