I would like to thank Jeff Jones and all of his associates for hosting the Tech Session. A BIG thank You needs to go out to Peter Maehling for organizing the event. I also need to Thank James Walker Jr. for his time and for the great presentation he gave on tires and braking systems. I didn’t make it out to the Wall Climb held at Planet Rock on April 3rd. I hope everyone who had a chance to attend had a great time. I would like to Thank Vigen Darian for organizing this event. Last month, I said I would get off the bandwagon regarding my search for someone to fill the Advertising Chairperson position. But, no one came forward so please take a minute and ask yourself why can’t I help? For those of you planning to attend the DE events this year as participants or just to watch, we could use your help. It could be as simple as bringing ice to the event or volunteering to be a corner worker. Anyone who has an interest in helping should contact Christian Maloof at [email protected] I received a safety notice from PCA that Kumho has recalled the new ECSTA V710 tires. SCCA has banned the use of the V710 tires for Racing and Solo use. If you have these tires on your car please replace them before showing up at any of our DE events. . For more information you can go to this address: http://kumhousa.com/V710.asp I hope everyone has had a chance to get their cars out of storage because, you need to get your baby all cleaned up and ready for the Rally Sport Challenge being held July 24th. Since I have what I’ll call insider information on the event I know it’s going to be a great time for everyone. So make your plans now to attend I don’t think you’ll be sorry. If you or anyone you know would like to donate an auction item for the Rally Sport Challenge silent auction you can e-mail Matt Huber or me with the item information and we’ll let you know if we can pick it up or better yet, sign up to attend and bring the item with you. I am planning to donate a few items from my personal collection of Porsche memorabilia. Lets see it could be a full press kit from the 2000 Detroit Auto show with all of the color pictures and slides or it could be an autographed item from Brumos Porsche Factory Race team. I am just itching to tell you what I am going to bring but you’ll just have to attend to find out. Kelly Personal Thought: Lets see what is my personal thought this month? I know “Age is just a state of mind”. Think about it! For more articles on club events and technical subject matters check out our web site @ http://rsp.pca.org 3 Tech Session at About thirty Rally Sport members were at our Spring Tech Session hosted by Jeff Jones. It was a beautiful day and many members took the opportunity to drive their Porsches for the first time this year. We were very fortunate that our own Alexander Pollock drove his white 904 so we could see a bit of Porsche history. Peter Maehling recruited an expert to cover the topic of tires and braking systems. James Walker Jr. was our presenter and he held the audiences attention with a comprehensive discussion of what really makes our cars stop. James does consulting and design work in the auto and aftermarket industries. Thanks again to James Jr. for spending his day with us. Some members brought Porsche items for sale/swap and a number of parts changed hands. Thanks again Jeff, Peter and James.

The items served were too numerous to mention, but suffice it to say that Loretta and Jim put out a first class breakfast buffet. We had a chance to see the significant progress on Jim’s GT40 project and discuss issues pertaining to our own Porsche projects for 2004. It was a great time to talk, socialize and share Porsche tech info. Thanks again to Loretta and Jim for all of their effort and the terrific breakfast. Time for coffee and conversation So that’s what a 930 motor looks like! Jim answers questions regarding his projects Tom Green checks out the carbs on the GT40 motor 11 Planet Rock Need Car Advice? Dear Portia, Why doesn’t the government give us a tax break on our Porsche expenses? Completely Puzzled in Algonac Dear CPA, Dat ist one good question. After all, it’s like having a child: fun at times but often cranky and temperamental. Some even refer to their cars as “The Baby.” Maybe we should start a petition drive and get other clubs to join in. It would be like the good old days; protest marches, sit ins, cheap beer and free love. Your favorite Valkyrie will be there with bells on. Dear Portia, My son has been bugging me about taking the Porsche to school. Should I let him? He seems mature and he is 17 now. Concerned Parent Ask Portia 12 © Dear CP, First let me refer you to a fellow club member: Dr. Elliot Wagenheim. He can help people like you since you seem to be a few quarts shy of an oil change. The first thing your darling will try will be top end, and he won’t even be out of the neighborhood. The next thing will be to impress every cute young thing at school, which will mean skipping class for a week to give them all rides. By the time you get the car back it will be muddy, out of gas and reeking of beer. By the way, since you’re such a soft touch, can I borrow the car next week?
