PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA - YELLOWSTONE REGION
Old Faithful Porsche
Does more in second gear than most cars do in fifth.
What can we say that isn’t already obvious? A sleek arcing roofline and curving shoulders
entice you into wanting more. Pressing the accelerator assures you it’s not a tease.
295 horses of road-grabbing power send you via the mid-mounted flat-six engine. It’s
engineered with character as individual as yours. The new Cayman. It’s stirring things up.

2008 Election Results for the Yellowstone Region
All ballots have been tallied for the 2008 officers of the club. The
following officers have been elected to serve you and our club
for the 2008 calendar year.
President—Ken Koop
Treasurer---Robin Koop
Vice President---Scot Anderson
Director at Large--- Mike Faems
Secretary--- Anne Fish
There has been one new officer added to the board this year
as “Directors at Large”. Mike will help to broaden our outlook
and add input for future club activities. All of the officers are
committed to dedicate their time and energy to make the club
and its activities enjoyable for everyone.
President’s Message
Winter has finally set in and most of our cars have been put to
bed for their long winter’s nap. Our Board members are now
busy planning the events for next year. There is considerable
work that goes on behind the scenes of any club and I want
to thank Bodie, Tara, Robin, Scot and Anne for their help in
running the club and the events this past year. There are two
other people who do a lot of work behind the scene; Tim
Sullivan who keeps our membership roster up to date along
with Ked Nilsen who maintains our web-site. They put in the
time it takes to keep our club running efficiently. All of them
deserve a round of applause!
In 2007 we had great participation from our members in all
of the club’s activities. If it were not for your involvement and
interest, the activities would not be as much fun as they are.
So thank all of you who attended one or more of the Pizza
Get-Togethers, the ALMS Race in Salt Lake City, the Driver’s
Education Event, the Annual Rendezvous Dinner, the Rally/
Scavenger Hunt or the Tour to Big Sky. These have all been
wonderful events and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves
as much as I did. If you have an idea on how to improve an
existing event or a suggestion for a new event, please voice
your opinion. We value what you have to say!
I know there are a lot of things going on during the summer
months, particularly in our area with all the activities that we
have to choose from. The Board realizes it is sometimes difficult
to decide if you should go to a Porsche activity or golf, hike,
bike, head for the lake or just entertain guests. We hope that
we can provide some diversion from the norm and offer you
something a little different, which gives you the opportunity
to enjoy your cars. I’m looking forward to a great 2008 driving
season and seeing you and your cars back on the road again.
Safe traveling and the very best of the Holiday Season to all
of you.
Ken
Thank you for placing your trust in us. As always, if you have
any suggestions for the club, please contact one of the board
members to voice your opinion. We are open to any and all
ideas.
Ked Nilsen has become our new Web Master. He is extremely
talented in web design and will be keeping our web-site up to
date as well as adding some new changes to improve the site.
Tim Sullivan has done a great job at maintaining the clubs roster
and has agreed to continue with those responsibilities. Thank
you both very much for taking on these responsibilities!

MEET THE MEMBERS
Ked and Mandi Nilsen
From Kato to Magnum in 6.5 seconds.
What differentiates Kato Kaelin from Thomas
Magnum? They both could be considered handsome,
they both lived in a guesthouse of a wealthy friend’s
estate, and both had jobs that allowed for a casual
life style. What makes Magnum the superior of
Kato? What attribute completely manipulates your
perception of Magnum to the positive? It must be
the car. Magnum zips around in a sexy Ferrari and
Kato bums rides from OJ Simpson.
In 2005 I was living in a hayloft apartment in a red
barn (yes, an actual hayloft that had been converted
to living quarters) on a friend’s property in Glendale,
AZ, working a casual job in a friend’s real-estate
investment firm, living an all around relaxing nostrings lifestyle. As a retreat from a hectic pace I had
maintained in the years previous while working in
the insurance and investment world in Boston and
Florida. I drove a Honda and I was Kato.
Then in January of 2006 a close friend and
mentor passed, I inherited his 97 Boxster. What
a transformation took place. I now lived in a
guesthouse on a wealthy friend’s estate, I was a realestate investor with plenty of free time for Vegas
buffets and flying to the beach in Florida and I drove
a wicked sports car. I was Magnum, complete with
the Magnum PI theme song ring tone.
Armed with these new powers of attraction, I
planned to complete the Magnum trifecta, I had the
lifestyle, and I had the sports car, now it was time for
the many women. Well friends, never underestimate
the power of a Porsche on the opposite sex. Within
a few weeks I met Mandi and within a few months
we were wed on the aft deck of a cruise ship at sea.
Mandi grew up in Mayer, AZ a small town outside of
Prescott. She Graduated from the world-renowned
Orme School and later moved on to the University
of Arizona in Tucson. I was raised in Peoria, Arizona
and then moved through necessity and progression
to more cities than can be listed. We have set our
sites on Pocatello where we own with her parents a
towing and recovery company.
Last March I was fortunate enough to be asked by a
close friend of ours, Kent Durkee, also a Porsche Club
member, to participate with him in a racing reality
show on Speed. The show, called Setup, pitted 10
drivers from different disciplines against each other
in identical Pontiac Solstice GXP’s in an elimination
format. Kent qualified in first place for the show,
we represented Rhys Millen Racing and enjoyed
success and victories before being eliminated prior
to the final race.
Mandi and I are grateful to be living in such a scenic
part of the country. We are excited to continue
exploring the nearby ski areas and traveling to the
great destinations of the northwest. We are pleased
to have met such wonderful people through the club
and look forward to building lasting relationships
with the members in the Yellowstone region. We
plan on attending as many of the club events as
possible, as long as Higgins keeps letting us borrow
the car.
Presenting the Yellowstone Region’s New Web Site
Ked Nilsen has just completed the refurbishment of our web site. His ideas, concepts and presentation are
truly spectacular! Please visit it and see the wonderful work he has done. The site is kept current with all of the
club’s latest information along with our past events. Please thank Ked next time you see him for all his hard
work in putting this site together. Visit http://yel.pca.org/ and you too will be impressed!
Corner
Ken’s
I thought it would be different to write a short article
regarding people in the car hobby. Also, to have a little
fun with people, well, kinda like me!
You Know You’re a Racer or Car Enthusiast If:
•
Your spouse doesn’t understand why you need three
sets of tires for your car.
•
You pay $8.00 for a quart of oil and are convinced that
the engine runs smoother and has more power.
•
Your library consists of auto parts catalogues, books
written by famous sports car drivers, anything about
Porsche’s and 400 car magazines.
•
You have race, auto shops and car dealers programmed
into your speed dialer.
•
You think the primary purpose of a wing is to
PREVENT flight.
•
The neighbor asks if you have any oil, to which you
query “Synthetic or Conventional” and they reply,
vegetable.
•
You think that the last words of the “Star Spangled
Banner” are “Gentlemen, start your engines”.
•
You hate long distance driving vacations, but you will
gladly drive 800 miles to the race track.
•
You and your spouse go house hunting and you never
actually get inside the house because you’re too busy
checking out the garage.
•
When you hear “Overcooked it”; instead of food you’re
thinking, “Off the track”.
•
Your garage holds more cars than your house has
bedrooms.
•
Your family brings the couch into the garage so they
can spend some time with you.
•
When someone asks where you went to school, you
reply “Skip Barber”.
•
After you tell your spouse where you’d like to go on
vacation they answer: “Why, is there a car event there”.
•
You carry pictures of your cars in your wallet.
•
You spend more on insurance premiums than on food.
•
You know the “Racing line” of every turn in your daily
commute.
•
When something falls off your car, you wonder how
much weight you just saved.
•
Every time you go to the grocery store you feel
compelled to beat your previous best time.
•
You refer to the corner down the street from your
home as, “Turn One”.
•
You would choose a roll bar over air conditioning if it
were an option.
•
You thoroughly enjoy showing the tailgater behind
you how to drive around a highway off-ramp.
•
Your first date involves asking that person to crew for
you.
•
You’ve just paid $9.00 a gallon for gasoline without
complaining.
•
You bought a tow vehicle instead of braces for your
kids.
•
People know you by your car number---“Oh, you were
the one in the gravel last weekend in turn 4”.
10
If you are one of these people, then you will know exactly
what I am talking about and this makes total sense to you.
Unfortunately, your spouse may feel differently!
Top Tier Fuels Retailer Update
I have had numerous questions on the Top Tier fuel
article that I wrote last year regarding which stations
are rated as “Top Tier”. I thought it might be useful
to update the Top Tier stations in our geographic
area since there have been some recent changes. The
following retail stations currently meet the Top Tier
requirements.
Chevron, Shell, Conoco, Phillips & Texaco.
Rennsport Reunion 2007
November of 2007 for Porsche fans meant only one
thing--Daytona International Speedway! One of the
largest gatherings of historic racing Porsches, drivers
and fans converged for three days of entertainment at
one of the greatest race tracks in the world. The cars
came from around the world, including the Porsche
Museum, to showcase two of the most famous models
in Porsche’s racing history; the mighty 917 and 956/962.
Over 700 historic Porsches were registered for the event
and many others were brought by people who wanted
to display their special vehicles. Many of the private
collector cars won’t be seen for many years to come.
The three day event started with the opening of the
Paddock where visitors could stroll through the garage
area to view the cars and speak with the owners and
drivers. Photographing and viewing the cars up close
is always a special treat. Since this is a low pressure
event, everyone has the time to speak with you about
their special machines. Almost every type of racing
Porsche was represented in the garage area. If you
wanted to see street cars, all you needed to do was
browse through the model specific parking corrals to
see virtually every street model that Porsche has ever
produced (more than 600 cars in total). There was such
a variety of colors and customized cars, that if you had
to pick a favorite one, it would have been virtually
impossible.
Practice for the many different classes along with
parade laps for the special classes took place
throughout the day on Friday and Saturday with the
races being held on Sunday. A Concourse d’ Elegance
was held Saturday afternoon on the pit lane. It was
such a beautiful sight to see so many famous Porsches
in one location.
There were nine members from our club who attended
the event; Brian Moore, Bill & Leona Doyle, Ken &
Robin Koop, Jim & Bobbi Moses, Bill & Sara Murphy.
Bryan and Bill helped to prepare two customer cars
11
and Bill also was a judge for the Concourse. There
were plenty of things to see and do during the three
days. The Porsche Sport Driving School provided
some Caymans and a Boxster to drive on an Autocross
course all three days. Porsche donated the money they
raised to charity, so Robin and I took numerous runs
on the fun course (both of us had a ball). An autograph
session with the famous past and present Porsche race
car drivers was held if you wanted to get your poster or
program signed. A Memorabilia Swap-Meet was held
with many unique items available for purchase. There
was a Porsche Booth with shirts, hats, posters and
programs from the Reunion that could be purchased. A
special display of cars, representing every street model
that Porsche has ever produced, was set up daily in a
large viewing area. Porsche also provided a large tent
that showcased its present models ranging from their
special edition Boxster to the brand new GT2.
The Saturday night dinner was held at the Daytona
500 Club with 470 attendees. The tickets were sold out
the very first day. Unfortunately most of our members
didn’t get the chance to attend. It was a wonderful
event with a slide show playing during the dinner
followed by a panel of three famous Porsche racing
drivers consisting of Jurgen Barth, Gerard Larrousse
and Wille Kauhsen (all Le Mans winners). They
spoke about their race wins, testing experiences and
were very informative (as well as hilarious) in their
presentation. At the end of their presentation, they
answered questions from the audience.
The weekend was an outstanding gathering of Porsche
people, who had a chance to celebrate Porsche’s
past and present cars and drivers. After walking the
paddock and parking lot for three days, enjoying
dinners with friends and watching the races and
Concourse, everyone needed another vacation to relax
and recover from the Reunion.
Now, we’ll all have to wait for another three years for
the next one! I can’t wait..

Porsche has been known for producing a number of award winning ads and
posters. Over the coming issues, we will reprint some of these famous ads.
We hope you enjoy them!
If you could own any car in the world,
what color would you choose?
One ride in the 911 Turbo and you know. Not another car in the world could feel like this.
Explosive, yet smoooth to the redline. Fluid all-wheel drive imposes your will on the pavement.
Certainly, in your choice of exquisite finishes. Contact us at 1-800-PORSCHE or porsche.com.

The American Le Mans Series 2007
Final Standings
The American Le Mans Series always begins its
season in March with the opener at Sebring, Florida
and finishes in October at the beautiful Laguna Seca
Raceway in Monterey, California. This series is always
hard fought with ten different factory supported teams
competing in four distinct classes. Porsche competes in
two of the most competitive classes and this year, there
was stiff competition against all of the Porsche teams
especially from Acura and Ferrari.
In the LMP2 class, Porsche dominated almost every race
(winning 11 out of 12 class races) giving Porsche the all
important Manufacturer’s Championship along with
the Engine Championship. The Team Championship
was won by Penske with Dyson coming in 2nd (both
Porsche teams). The Driver’s Championship went to
Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard, both drivers of
the Penske car and the next six places were taken by
Porsche drivers as well. This was the first year in the
history of the ALMS that an LMP2 class car has taken
first place overall at any event. This occurred in 8 out
of the 12 season races. The nimble Porsche Spyders
dominated the Audi diesels (even though the Audi has
a 200HP advantage) throughout the season giving the
overall point’s award to Porsche as well.
In the GT2 class, things didn’t go quite as well for the
Porsche teams. Ferrari was very strong this year and
won the Manufacturer’s Championship with Porsche
finishing in second place. In the Team Championship,
the Porsches of the Flying Lizard Team, Tafel Racing
Team and Rahal Racing Team placed second, third
and fourth. The Driver’s Championship was also
hotly contested with Porsche drivers finishing in 3rd
through 14th place.
Congratulations to all of the teams for an exciting and
hard fought season! We’re already looking forward to
next year. Acura is adding at least one more car to the
LMP2 class to compete against the RS Spyders. The
GT2 class will have numerous new Vipers, Corvettes,
a Ford GT and the already tough Ferraris to compete
against our Porsches. Next year promises to be one
of the most exciting seasons ever with more than 11
factory supported teams racing in the series. Porsche
as always, will be ready for another good fight!

The 48 Hours of Sebring
By: Mike Faems
Mother Nature co-operated with three spectacularly
sunny days with temps in the high 70s.
Like NASCAR, PCA kicks off the race season in Florida
in February. Just like NASCAR’s Daytona 500, PCA’s
Sebring Club Race is the biggest, most prestigious of
the year; in fact, it’s been called the Super Bowl of PCA
Club Racing. No other race weekend draws more
cars.
Maybe it’s the chance to polish the driving skills that
have rusted over the winter. Maybe it’s a chance to
drive the historic circuit at the old World War II B-17
base. Or maybe it’s just the chance to escape the cold
up north and out west.
This year the 48 Hours of Sebring, as it’s officially
known, attracted 300 race cars, and 60 Advanced DE
cars, including a brand new Carrera GT. That’s even
more Porsches than Jerry Seinfeld has.
Just about every Porsche model was represented in the
production and GT classes. Adding to the excitement,
90 Cup cars were entered, the largest collection ever
gathered in one spot.
18
Close, clean racing prevailed throughout the fields in
each of the four Sprint races and three Enduros. The
accompanying photos by motorsports photographer
Chris Kelly of Odessa, Florida captures just a small
portion of it. Best of all, unlike that other Superbowl,
this one doesn’t mark the end the season. It’s just the
beginning.
All photography included in this article, as well as the
cover picture was provided courtesy of “Colour Tech
South Photography”. The only exception is the GT3
group shot, photographed by our own Mike Faems.
Also, the picture with the black 944 leading the red 944
is none other than our own Mike Faems!

Oktoberfest at Sidewinders
Our club’s last event for the year was held at
Sidewinders in October. Since the weather was
excellent, there were over 44 club members
who attended. Five members came from Idaho
to make the event even more special. Four of
our newest members were also present and
introduced to the group. It is always good to see
both our new, along with the regular members
at the club functions. The Get-Together was a
nice finishing touch to a very successful club
year.
The winner’s jacket from the Scavenger Hunt/
Rally was re-awarded since the pictures taken
on the original date didn’t develop properly.
It was accepted by Robin since it was her
navigating skills that led to the first place finish.
Quite stylish on her, I must say! Next year, the
honorary jacket (a genuine CARMANI) will be
passed on to the winner of that event.
Our next club function will be a Pizza night,
again held at Sidewinders in January. Hope to
see you there to join in on the fun.

Two Future Porsche Club Members!
Even though these cute twins, Gaia and Sofia, were
born into an Italian family, they seem to be enjoying
the day showing off their new Porsche Shirts. I am
sure that their tiny little hearts are pumping pure
Porsche blood and are destined to become Porsche
enthusiasts!

A Porsche platz will be again set up with special parking

Porsche Soars to
New Heights
Porsche set a new record for the number of vehicles
that were sold in the 2007 fiscal year, with a total of
97,515 units. They soared to record profits as well
with pre-tax earnings of $8,556,000,000. Their stock
price also established a new record all time high of
$2,673 per share. As a result of another stunning
year, Porsche has decided to split their stock in
2008 at a ratio of 1:10. Porsche is moving ahead
at an amazing rate of speed. With the Cayenne
Hybrid and new Panamera models appearing
over the next two years and its acquisition of VW
in 2007, it seems like Porsche can do no wrong in
the automotive and financial world.
HYBRID POP QUIZ
Question:
Can you name the company, year and engineer
of the first Gasoline-Electric Hybrid car ever
built?
Answer:
The Lohner Car Company in Austria, way back
in 1900. In addition to an internal combustion
engine, this vehicle also had wheel-hub
electromotors that could power and store energy
intermittently in the 40 cell-80 volt batteries. Top
speed was 28-36 MPH and the battery could
power the car for three hours of driving. One
year later, the vehicle was fitted with an electric
motor at each wheel, making it the world’s first
4-wheel drive vehicle. The car was far ahead
of its time-just like its designer; Professor
Ferdinand Porsche. The Hybrid is making a
comeback at Porsche once again. The latest 2nd
generation hybrid system will be offered in the
Cayenne and Panamera in 2009.
