2015 Goal: Increase
OCR Attendance at All
Events!
As many of you know, I started with the
club years ago through the performance
driving group (AutoX, DE, TT) and have
had an opportunity to participate in many
areas of interest along the way. Isn’t that
what makes OCR such a great club? We
literally have something for everyone.
The trick seems to be to find which
activity interests you the most for the
amount of time that you have to invest.
I can tell you that after visiting with
other PCA regions and car clubs (e.g.
BMW, Mini Owners (MOALA), etc.),
those who have focused on one activity
type (for example only performance
driving, concours only, or social events
only) quickly slip into a rut. Did you
know that we are absolutely ecstatic
when any OCR event draws a double
digit percent of member numbers? If
you take the Concour 2014 event, one of
the best attended to date, we had ~13%
of the primary member OCR population
participate. Most of our AutoX events
are in the ~7% range. So what is it?
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Often my decisions are simply based on
competing priorities and planning. My
personal goal is to attend at least one
event (plus the breakfast meeting) every
month. Here are some considerations
for those of you who are the “plan ahead
types” and those of you which are “last
minute” decision makers.
Plan Ahead Events
Performance Driving: AutoX. You
need to sign up within a few days of
the first announcement to get into the
event as they sell out every month. It
is possible to walk on; however, you are
really rolling the dice.
Drivers Education and Time Trial:
also within the first seven to ten days after
the first announcement, these events fill;
however, they do not generally sell out
(fingers crossed for the 2015 season to
start selling out).
Multi-night driving tours (currently
hosted by Keith Clark): after the first
announcement these events will fill and
start a waiting list within hours, so you
must move quickly to get in on these
20-car-limit drives.
Concours: this is a funny one as it falls
into both categories as we have a “wash
and shine” class in the offering.
Last Minute Events
Eating events: boy do we know how
to hang out, chat about our common
interests, and eat. It all starts with the
breakfast club meeting (at Original
Mike’s) to donuts (at Krispy Kreme) to
burgers (at BurgerBahn) to just about
everything at Woody’s for Porsches
and Pancakes. All of these events, as
with the other events, are posted on our
calendar (pcaocr.com) and our Facebook
page (PCA OCR).
Tours and Rallies: always a great time
and where our four-door Porsches can
dominate! Fun runs, picture rallies, etc.
usually ending at a fun place for food.
Concours: 2014 we allowed drive-on
cars for corral display.
The lists above are just a sampling of
events that occur within PCA/OCR.
2015 will be the year that we hit doubledigit percentage attendee numbers at
all events, I just feel it in my bones.
How can you help hit this objective?

EDITOR’S NOTES
outcome in my opinion.
I must also add the advertisers that we
enjoy from other fields. Once again,
you are dealing with someone who will
have a shared interest and also, once
again, this is a good underpinning for a
business relationship in any field.
What’s Afoot?
Retirement is so hard...
Take the high road, he said.
But, where does it go? I replied.
It’s not just the destination you know,
It’s the way you take and how you go…
Sherlock Holmes used to say, “the
games afoot Watson!” whenever he
began to apply his mighty deductive
powers to a case. In the Orange Coast
Region we have many games “afoot” at
all times! We do publish a calendar in
the magazine every month, but there is
also our website which is dynamic and
is a great place to look for activities to
participate in our club.
Welcome to the Pandemonium and I
hope you are liking our new appearance
and and enjoying our articles, photos,
and advertisements. Remember, that
we are quite happy to have articles
submitted by our club members and,
indeed, we have had several in the last
few months to share. Your journey, or
parts of it, are going to be of interest to
someone within our club, and generally
there is benefit from reading about
another person’s adventure. So don’t
be shy, get out that word processor and
start typing away!
Many times we can accept “walk ins”
at our events, so don’t feel that if you
suddenly find that you have a weekend
clear you won’t be able to participate if
you haven’t put in a reservation months
or weeks in advance. It is not unusual
for our merry volunteers to say “come
on in” and allow late arrivals a chance
to be with the club. The more elaborate
events need advance registration, but
don’t hesitate to call or email the person
noted as responsible if you have any
questions; we are usually looking for
ways to INCLUDE people not exclude
them, so no excuses; come join us.
I also invite your gaze to our advertisers’
ads. Part of our service to the readership
is to share the services and knowledge of
our great sponsors. I have stated this in
the past, but if you have work to be done
on your Porsche, starting with a Pando
advertiser is a good beginning. For
starters, they wouldn’t advertise in our
magazine if they weren’t enthusiasts,
and you want someone working on your
car that has a hobby interest for the best
By the way, this includes those of
our club members who may feel that
because they don’t have a “sporty” type
Porsche that they might not be welcome.
In fact there are classes in Autocross for;
Cayennes, Macans, and Panameras……
only Porsche engineers driving
excellence across the product line like
this. And having been a passenger on
a real racetrack in a Cayenne, I can tell
you that only Porsche makes an SUV
that pulls cornering speeds that would
put other manufacturers’ “sports cars”
to shame.
The occasion I took the Cayenne ride on
a track was not long after the launch of
the car, or SUV. There was much buzz
within the community about this new
departure and, while my ride didn’t
necessarily address the philosophical
question of SUV and Sports Cars, it
certainly did answer the question in
my mind about whether or not an SUV
could still be a Porsche! Yes, Virginia it
can be so.
Roger Grago 1953-2014
We are very sorry to announce the
passing of long time club friend and
911 R Gruppe member Roger Grago.
Some of us remember Roger when
he worked at Newport Porsche in the
parts department and his always helpful
attitude. I personally remember Roger
on one of our wine tours in his beautiful
little purple 911 R Gruppe special. On
one of our drives Roger scrapped a
hole in his gas tank and proceeded to
a roadside repair which lasted till the
end of the weekend and impressed us
all with his skill. Roger succumbed to a
form of brain cancer after a 4 year battle.
His funeral and service were in January.
Good by old friend.

Tires and Alignment
Make your Porsche more fun to drive!

limited and thus, this tire is not
available for every car. You can
drive them to and from track
events or autocrosses.
This is a Hoosier A6. The Rock star of autocross and track events
During the year I will provide a
series of short articles that discuss the
benefits of performance suspension,
tuning and upgrades available for
your Porsche. These will include tire
options, alignment, suspension setup
and upgrades, brakes and engine tuning.
This first article will discuss tire options
and alignment.
Tires
There are a number of tire manufacturers
that make quality tires for your
Porsche. Their tires have a wide range
of performance’ in both the amount of
grip in dry and wet conditions, as well
as how well they wear. Whether you
enjoy a spirited Sunday drive or are an
autocross/track junkie, there is a tire
to meet your needs. Below I discuss a
couple examples.
If you want a tire to perform well on your
spirited Sunday morning drive and is
good in the rain, the Michelin Pilot Sport
is a very good choice. Quiet, reasonably
priced, good in wet conditions, are all
attributes of this tire.
Do you want a tire that’s a more
aggressive for those summer drives,
autocross and track days that can be
driven to events? The Hankook Ventus
RS3 and Dunlop Star Spec are both
tires that will meet your needs and are
reasonably priced. These are great tires
in 200 tread wear* category. These tires
offer more grip than the Michelin Pilot
Sport in dry weather. However, you are
sacrificing grip in cold and wet weather
conditions.
If you want the ultimate grip in dry and
hot weather conditions with a DOT
approved tire, the BF Goodrich R1R-S
is a great choice. Great for tracking,
where you’re running lap after lap, the
R1R-S will just keep smiling. Although
not as fast as a Hoosier A7 on the first
lap, it does get close and will last much
longer. The R1R-S is very “precise”.
However, if you over drive these tires,
it will not reward you. Tire sizes are
If you only care about laying
down a really fast time and having
everyone giving you “that look”,
the Hoosier A7 group of tires are
the only tires for you. It is easy
to get addicted to the fantastic
first lap confidence inspiring grip.
While they are a DOT approved
tire, the tread wear rating is
VERY low. You do not want to
drive these bad boys to events.
You want to savior them like fine
wine! Hoosier offers virtually every tire
size you could ever want, except the
larger 16” wheel sizes. For 16” wheel
sizes, they do offer slicks.
Alignment
Many use the term “alignment” and
assume it is a simple adjustment.
However, the alignment of your Porsche
includes suspension angles that are being
measured and a variety of suspension
components that are being adjusted.
Thus, “alignment” is not just a simple
adjustment, but an important suspension
tuning tool, and it influences how well
the tires and your Porsche performs
whether on the street or on the track.
Now that you have picked a tire, make
sure you give them a chance to perform
properly. Tire pressures and alignments
are instrumental in getting that extra
grip, as well as saving your investment.
It’s important not to destroy the outer
edge of the tire.
If your car is “camber challenged” and
you’re driving your car in autocross
*Treadwear ratings or grades are
assigned by the manufacturers. The
higher the number usually represents
and harder rubber compound and thus
better the tread wear.
** Aspect Ratio – On a 285/30ZR-18
the 30 is the tires aspect ratio or profile.
It represents the ratio of the sidewalls
sections height to the tires sections
width.
This is a picture of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Tread
or track events, you need to start with
more tire pressure than the “specified”
pressure (+5 lbs). Observe wear on the
outside edges before bleeding down
pressures as they heat up. Common sense
and having friends, is always a plus. You
want to use the whole tread face of the
tire, not 110%. If the pressure is too low,
the car might have seemingly more grip
for a while, then taper off badly. This
will be easy to see if you look at the tires
between initial runs. You can see where
the tire may start to “roll over” the tread
face and onto the sidewall of the tire.
This is where the grip drops off and wear
increases exponentially.
courses or track events, negative 3 to 5
degrees will be seen on really fast cars
quite often. Testing and observing tire
wear is one of the main keys to finding
speed.
Till next time. Have Fun!
Guy
Most new performance tires like 1.5
to 2.5 degrees of negative camber,
especially on the front. “25” aspect ratio
tires, probably not. Most of your “3040”** aspect ratio will reward you with
more camber without any appreciable
decrease of tire life for daily commuting.

Remembering
my first Porsche
Twenty-eight years ago was the first time
I walked into a Porsche dealership…
there sitting on the main showroom floor
was a beautiful 1987 burgundy Porsche
SC with BBS racing rims, whale tail
and a light beige leather interior…my
heart begin palpitating in excitement.
Up close the automotive workmanship
and design radiated power, performance
and beauty. Like Kenny Chesney’s song,
“You had me from hello,” the fires of
love were kindled.
So in the spirit of Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, “How Do I Love Thee” I
will count the ways my first Porsche
stole my heart. In a performance car,
the accumulative criteria that tweaks
our heart and senses includes safety,
fuel economy, acceleration, agility, top
speed, braking efficiency, reliability,
design, durability, driving elation and
quality.
Porsche lovers all remember that first
time they fell in love with their car.
For me, I had three early memorable
Story and Photos by Malcom Baca
romances with new Corvettes. But it
wasn’t till I bought my first Porsche that
the “thunderbolt” of love, stuck me like
a giddy teenager in love. I don’t have to
tell this readership how Porsche owners
beam with pride when driving a Porsche.
It didn’t take but a few hours behind the
wheel to understand and appreciate its
superior performance, drivability and
driving elation.
We all know, it is not easy to explain to
a non-Porsche owner what makes them
so special. The difficulty by analogy is
like describing the taste of a strawberry
to someone that has never tasted one…
it’s impossible. But as best I can, let me
describe the uniqueness of why my first
Porsche will always be my first and last
love.
At 6’ 2” getting into the driver’s seat with
sufficient head room to sit up straight
was an immediate improvement over the
semi-reclined position in my previous
Corvettes. Clicking the safety belt, the
360° usable window view ability in front,
back and side windows was remarkably
superior to anything I had driven in a
passenger or sport car. Usable unblocked
window visibility provided a remarkable
safety and drivability improvement over
long-nosed front engine sport cars with
smaller back window areas and/or large
rear roof support post areas. Enhancing
the improved glass visibility area was
huge outside rectangular rear door
mirrors. They provided a larger field
of rear vision in conjunction with the
central mirror.
In front engine sport cars like a Corvette,
Viper, Jaguar, Austin Martin, Datson
Z, etc, one sits in a slightly reclined
position. The visibility behind the wheel
of a long-hooded performance car
requires more driving skill to optimize
its agility capability. For example, to
see pavement in front of my Corvettes,
it took 12 feet in distance from the
front bumper to see the first bit of
pavement. In contrast, with my ‘87
Porsche’s slopped down hood you can
see somebody’s feet standing 3 feet in
years of owning this sweet Porsche,
I put 108,000 miles on the car. Every
mile was a joy to drive. I so loved this
car I decided I’m going to put a turbo
charger on it. One of my friends said
I ought to go over to Andial in Santa
Ana. Ignorant me, I did not know that
Andial’s proprietors, the late Arnold
Wagner, Alwen Springer and Dieter
Inzenhofer were living legends in
Porsche performance tuning. Nor did I
realize they also were maintaining some
of Stuttgart’s racing machines.
BBS racing rims
front of you. This is a big visual safety
advantage for maneuvering agility and
safety factor in driving when working
slow or fast traffic.
I assume this would be true also in
competitive racing. For example, the
epitome of long-nosed sports cars is the
new Mercedes AMG S (that is taking on
Porsche’s 911 families) that looks like
you could land an F/A-18 on its hood.
The weight distribution visually looks
the reverse of a Porsche 911…too much
weight forward as opposed to a 911 that
puts the majority of weight over rear
engine area for optimal traction.
The air foil on my ‘87 911 vertically
aligned over the back bumper provided
a constant visual reference and was
easily seen from the big outside mirrors
and central mirror…how sweet it is to
always know where your fenders are.
In functional addition, it reduced air
resistance, increased fuel efficiency
and, at high speeds, provided additional
down force stability. Even though my
Porsche had no turbo…it looked nasty
and macho mean! This was no car you
took out for a Sunday drive with your
elbow on the window seal.
Before I go further let me state that I have
no engineering or technical/mechanical
background. I struggle with figuring
out how to change the batteries in my
remote TV control. I marvel at someone
like Lee Rice who is the Pandemonium’s
technical writer and his minutia sea
of detailed Porsche knowledge. So
with laymen’s knowledge and laymen
descriptions I want to shift gears to
focus on what I had done to the car that
provided a level of performance that
grew my love for this car making it even
more special.
With a blink of an eye in the first three
Arriving at Andial, I met Dieter
Inzenhofer telling him I wanted to put
a turbo charger on my car. He, being a
man of few words, asked me: “What is
it you want to accomplish?” I answered:
I want to be able to beat a Shelby
Cobra 0 to 60 mph or, better yet, in a
quarter mile (as I indicated in an earlier
Pandemonium article, my speed and
performance mentality was drag racing).
He instantly replied, “For your car there
is a less costly way to achieve your
objective and not have to deal with turbo
lag or diminish the long term reliability
of your Porsche.” As I recoiled in
disbelief, slightly pulling my head back
at his answer, he replied: “You just need
to rebuild your engine.”

A VERY SPECIAL
January Brunch
Story by CL Jarusek, Photos by Gloria Moore
It was a dark and stormy
night...
Well, how about an overcast and rainy
day. The PCA/OCR Annual Meeting
and Brunch was held on January 11
at the Tustin Ranch Golf Club. Yes,
it was rainy, and we proved beyond a
doubt that Porsches have windshield
wipers. We also observed that there are
even people that play golf in very rainy
conditions. Not me, although I am an
avid golfer; California has too many
nice days to play golf on days like today!
Oh well, they probably didn’t bring their
Porsches either.
The golfers may not have brought their
Porsches, but Walter’s Porsche brought
two beautiful ones to place on display in
front of the Clubhouse. And as President
Greg Lush stated, they were continually
being washed by the rain.
This year I wanted to have a less
expensive event with better quality food,
so I researched many venues and came
down to the choice being the Tustin
Ranch Golf Club. The setting afforded
a great view of the green grass of the
course and had recently been renovated.
As a matter of fact, they were still
working on it on the Tuesday before
our brunch. The room was set up with
13 tables of 10 settings, and members
had room to walk around and chat with
one another. We had 125 members,
associates and friends attend the event.
While waiting for the Brunch to begin,
we were able to see the many things that
were donated by some of our advertisers
Jennie and Eric Monroe, Lisa Taylor, Ed McRae, Tom Ridings and Delaney
McRae
Todd Rhinegold, Dory Chilton, Vicki Billings, Doug Neill
Sandy Schwartz, Tom Brown and Cat Schwartz
Gary and Marsha Labb, Norm and Carolyn Follis
Monica Asbury, Pamela Horton, Nicole Forrest Boggs, Lisa Taylor and
Christine Newcomer
Delaney McRae, Frank and Maria Avina, James and Michaela Buck
Debi Wilbur, Jan and Greg Hauter
Gail and Jim Rheinholt, Scott and Peggy Huddleston
and other generous people for the
Silent Auction. Peggy Huddleston did
an excellent job of soliciting the great
items, including a Porsche Pedal Car (a
$500 value) from Circle Porsche. Thank
you to all who donated the items, and
thank you to the many members that bid
on the selection, and a special thank you
to those that won and purchased each
auction item.
As required by our By-Laws, a short
annual meeting was held, and the
newly elected members of the Board...
Secretary Monica Asbury, Member
at Large Gary Labb, and Member at
Large James Buck...were announced
and installed. Congratulations to each
of you, and we know that you will do a
good job to make OCR one of the best
Regions of the Porsche Club of America.
Ah, then it was time for the buffet
brunch. Each attendee was given a
glass of champagne or orange juice, and
the attentive wait staff kept the glasses
refilled. The buffet, which filled an
adjoining room, had an omelet station,
carved tri-tip, carved leg of lamb, snow
crab legs, oysters, shrimp cocktail, deep
fried shrimp, smoked salmon, a pasta
station, jambalaya, bacon, sausage,
assorted fresh breads and pastries,
assorted desserts and an optional Bloody
Mary bar. All seemed very happy with
the quality and tastiness of the food and
to date, I have received no complaints.
Following the filling of our stomachs,
we were able to again go around and
chat with other members and I was told
by some, that they found new friends.
We were also able to look out at that
previously mentioned rarity, California
rain, and the golfers still playing in the
raindrops. Bids continued to be made on
the Silent Auction items until 1:30pm.
Then the winning bids were announced.
Thanks to all that took part in the Brunch
and especially those that donated, bid
on and purchased Silent Auction items.
Peggy informed me that the Auction
netted $2,325.00 to go into our Charity
account for the Semper Fi Fund. With
the help of members, we have a good
start for the presentation of our donation
at the Hearts and Garages Tour next fall.
I was also happy to report that the event
also made a huge profit of $72.10.
Hope to see even more of you out to
enjoy our Brunch and Annual Meeting
next year.

Book Review
The Book of the PORSCHE 356
Story by Bruce Herrington
by Brian Long, 2nd edition, published in 2008
by Veloce Publishing, United Kingdom
The Book of the PORSCHE 356, by
Brian Long, 2nd edition, published
in 2008 by Veloce Publishing, United
Kingdom.
This is a classic book about a classic
vehicle. The fact that this is a roughly
ten year old edition of a 20 year old
book, only enhances it’s value, because
it is closer to the reality of the subject
matter - vehicles that will soon be at
least 50 years old. The 356 began as an
exotic, rare vehicle. With time it became
‘an old, furrin car’. Now it has become
a ‘collector car’. How appropriate it
is that PORSCHE 356 is virtually a
collector book – comprehensive, but
old, and virtually out of print. Despite
the title, it is more of a book about the
company, Porsche AG, as it developed,
manufactured and marketed the various
versions of the 356, than about the cars
themselves. None the less, blow by blow
description of the subtle changes made to
the vehicles provides a unifying thread
to the narration. The text mentions US
races and race drivers, as well as the
European events in which Porsches
(356s and derivatives including the
904), performed so well.
Like most Porsche books, PORSCHE
356 begins with a description of
Porsche’s early history, Ferdinand
Porsche’s imprisonment, the Cisitalia
project, the sawmill in Gmund, and the
traditional reference to the Katchberg
pass as a testing ground. In the ‘80s this
reviewer had a chance to play Porsche
‘test driver’ on that road, driving from
Gmund (roughly 1550’ elev) to the
pass (listed as 5,384’ elev), in a rented
VW-Golf. With roughly twice the
horsepower but less than 20%
more weight than a 356, the Golf
struggled with the twisty, paved,
grades posted as 15%. I believe
that the early 356s had to run on
a gravel surface whichwould have
increased the challenge on the way
up, and the pucker factor on the
way down.
PORSCHE 356 is virtually a Time
Capsule: the pictures are all from
the 50s and 60s, and much of the
text consists of quotations from
contemporary motor sports publications.
Included are interesting tid-bits on the
origin of the “European” name, and
a discussion attributing the Speedster
to Johnny von Neumann (vice Max
Hoffman). Max is given credit for
assigning name Spyder to the early race
cars. Contemporary quotes are sprinkled
throughout the book, as well as excerpts
from automotive publications of the
time, including the following from a
review of a 1956 Super in the 31 August
1956 Autosport: “That tail-heavy feeling
has gone, and the average driver would
not be conscious that this is a rearengined car....” I guess drivers of later
cars must have been above average,
because concern about the tail-heavy
handling characteristics continued at
least through the ‘80s.
There are roughly as many square inches
of photographs as there are of text. The
pictures have a way of looking old, as
well they should – almost all are factory
pictures from the time. The dust jacket
shot, repeated as a frontispiece, included
in text and as stylized artwork on the
back end-papers, has a very European
look. Close examination however shows
SCCA, PCA and possibly PCA Regional
badges on the badge bar. How many
remember badge bars?
PORSCHE 356 consists of five chapters
from The First Porsche to Last of the
line. Informational appendices provide
information on buying a 356; coverage
of 356 replicas most (all ?) of which
are no longer in production; technical
specs on engines including engine code;
year-by-year vehicle characteristics (not
including weight): production figures
by year and body type. Not structured
to be a reference book, it does provide
lots of configuration details and dates, at
the appropriate point in the text, which
might be meaningful to restorers, or
even Concours judges. The text includes
English and American factory prices for

Auto-X Awards Banquet
Story and Photos by Mike Knudsen
In what couldn’t be a more perfect conclusion to another great
Auto-X year, our series sponsor, Walter’s Porsche, once again
hosted a wonderful awards banquet at its beautiful Riverside
facility. The weather was unusually warm for January and we
arrived just as the sun was setting behind the building. Inside,
a hosted bar and scrumptious buffet awaited us. On the video
screens ran clips that the Walter’s video team captured during
the year, creating the ideal atmosphere, and a variety of Walter’s
folks were there making sure everything went smoothly. After a
few drinks and a trip (or two) through the buffet, we all sat down
for the awards presentations.
Ed McRae, Walter’s Porsche General Manager, welcomed and
greeted us all — 152 of us, and then introduced Walter Kienle,
the “Walter” of Walter’s Porsche, after announcing that Walter’s
Porsche had been named 2015 Porsche Dealer Of the Year for
the entire nation. It was a kick to hear about Walter’s passion and
commitment to our favorite brand. He noted that, by next year,
there will be a new building for the Porsche business — a much
bigger one. There’s much more about the history of Walter’s on
their website, so go take a look.

Next it was on to the awards. While there’s not enough space
here to mention them all, here are some that were special. First,
Steve Eguina, who’s served as DE/TT Co-chair, will be stepping
back and was recognized and thanked for his years of service.
Next, Carl Vanderschuit as “Top Gun.” This is the award given
to the top BRI score. BRI is a measure that adjusts for the type of
car and class — sort of leveling the playing field. Then, Quynh
Nguyen was honored as top driving instructor of the year. My
award, for my work as Official Auto-X photographer, was a huge
surprise, and I thank the drivers and board for their kindness.
SS13L Champion, Sherry Taylor
SS01 2nd Place, William Menoa
Finally, a very special but somewhat sad farewell to the Auto-X
co-chair, Craig Adams, who passed away late last year. His son
and daughter were there to receive the special plaque, and Don
Chapman announced the retirement of Craig’s number — 351.
2014 Top Gun of the year, Carl Vandershuit
Lastly, a final thank you from Don and Ed, and we were all on
our way, flat 6’s behind us and stars overhead. It doesn’t get
much better.
RICE’S
Ramblings
Story by Lee Rice, Photo by R-Gruppe
2015 GT3 RS in winter fun mode fom my R-Gruppe buddies up in No.Cal
I received some commentary following
one of my articles about some of the
new turbocharging technology for
the common automobile. Of course
when I wrote that I knew it will apply
to Porsche in some manner, but I was
not sure in what capacity. Then, in the
new Panorama and excellence, I saw
something interesting.
Will this be the last of
the 4.0L 500 hp BIG
MOTOR engines?
“Oh, the Porsche news... lots more. This
new GT3 RS will feature Porsche’s
“new”... yes, new... 911 engine. They
say they will start using this in the entire
model line. Hum? Whatever. Since they
said ALL 911 engines will be turbo, will
that mean there will be no further GT2?
Now everyone will cry like babies at the
loss of their n/a engines etc., forgetting
that what they are driving is all electronic
and their right foot doesn’t have anything
but an ELECTRONIC connection to the
engine! Someone needs to make that
clear to them [hint]. They just THINK
their right foot is doing something...
at least, those that are still working at
learning how to drive with electronic
blipping so they don’t need to learn how
to double-clutch anymore...etc.”
So what is the deal?
With full coverage in all the normal
automotive ‘rags,’ there is no need to go
into reprinting. See Michael & Andrew
Cotton’s Panorama: European Windows
January 2015 p44.
Briefly, Product boss Wolfgang Hatz
quashes rumors, raises further questions
(Hatz said that all 911 engines going
forward will be turbocharged whether
they wear the “Turbo” moniker or not.)
The 2015 Porsche 911 GT3 RS will
make its debut at the Geneva auto
show in March. Porsche product boss
Wolfgang Hatz confirmed to Autocar
that the next RS car will be the first 911
powered by a new generation of flat-six
engines.
Hatz didn’t speak to the power of the
next 911 GT3 RS, but it will obviously
top the 468-hp output of the GT3. It will
be naturally aspirated and is expected
to lap the Nurburgring in less than 7
minutes, 20 seconds. Hatz told Autocar
that the engine’s placement in the GT3
RS is an interim step, before it replaces
the engines in the 911, Boxster and
Cayman.
Perhaps more importantly, Hatz said
that, “all 911 engines going forward will
be turbocharged whether they wear the
Turbo moniker or not. He also said that
the 911 will never get a four-pot, flat or
otherwise. A new four might come in
the Boxster next year, and will probably
make it in the next Cayman. The new
mill will likely displace about 2.0 liters,
though Hatz declined to comment on
output or timing.
See more at: http://www.autoweek.
com/article/car-news/porsche-gt3-rsconfirmed-geneva-auto-show-911going-turbo-only
And to add to this is the
announcement of the
2015 Cayman GT4 3.8
Liter 911 flat six.
Will this be the 911 fighter so many
Cayman wishfuls are dreaming about?
My thinking for PCA and PORSCHE
is one of welcome relief. For one, the
horsepower wars between automakers
can only end up with drastic government
restrictions as it did back in the 1970s,
when they sold 400 Hp ‘muscle cars
right off the showroom floor –to
anybody. Back in those days, such cars
were huge sedans with iron engines
and transmissions. They had marginal
(at best) drum brakes, skinny tires, and
bench seats (which were better suited
for sitting in a park than being in an
automobile). Those cars were nothing
but gas hogs, and seeing them sold to
inept young drivers, you knew some
of those cars would end up being our
supply of replacement parts in some
junkyard! I would have hated to see a
performance automaker like Porsche
end up being restricted in performance
by legal regulations again!
When I bought my 911 in 1971, it was
powered by a small two-liter engine.
Actually a 1,991 cubic centimeter
engine, as the smaller than 2 liter engine
meant less taxation. Porsche used clever
racing/rally engine building to make
a powerful and very reliable engine.
These lessons lent to better energy use,
better reliability, and were later able to
meet regulations and still win races-all
developed from the basic design.
Now I am now delighted to see Porsche
taking a leadership role and dropping
the big motors and starting fresh with a
new smaller engine. How can Porsche
not win by applying all their technology
learned from 60 years of the 911.
PCA will benefit and every owner
will as well. Today’s current cheaper
fuel prices do not insure supply, and
today’s prices can change at anytime.
The mandated C.A.F.E. standards for
fuel mileage are a reality. There is no
argument that we all need to do with less
energy consumption, but how is it going
to happen? I had wondered if Porsche
would be with the rest of the reluctants
and would be dragging their feet to the
end and selling lame, dull cars?
With Porsche taking this initial lead,
THEY will be the first to prove it can be
done efficiently, reliably and still be fun!
This is indeed good news!
What do you think of Porsche’s future
and does this story interest you? How
about letting us know your thoughts...
Immobilizer Security...
Or lack of.
From the former owner of a Ruf
TurboR. That is a 911 (993) turbo
Ruf manufactured car. Setting your
immobilizer on, is no safe bet against
car thievery.
Years ago, some of the news around
Christmas time was about shopping
mall car break-ins. The thieves didn’t
want the car. NO! They wanted the full
shopping bags of Christmas goodies.
It got so bad that the malls were using
security on top of buildings, using two
person teams (like snipers) to look for
thieves who would watch shoppers and
wait until the unsuspecting ones would
‘key’ their car’s remote. That signal
was captured by the thieves, and after
you left your car, they had your security
code and only needed a few seconds to
gain entry and enjoy all your shopping
efforts-and your car -if they wanted it!
Those keyless remotes only broadcast
your security code to anyone who
is listening for it. The 993 vintage
immobilizer system is no better and, in
my opinion, is only a hindrance to the
owner. Security of a vehicle is dependant
upon the owner taking reasonable
precautions and not thinking they are
secure with only a factory installed
system –which any thief already knows
how to defeat anyway. Porsche owners
must be involved and “proactive” to
use a well-worn phrase! No one or two
device system is 100% theft proof! But
you can slow a thief down. Thieves need
speed. Quickly in and out; gone with
your car and contents! So how can you
slow them down in some OBIVIOUS
way so they will move on…
I think it is so foolish to NOT have a
key door lock so the owner can lock and
arm their Porsche without broadcasting
to anyone the car’s security code and
method. Porsche really goofed on this
one!
But being proactive, here are a few ideas
proven well tried and used….
Something obvious, something that
takes a thief TIME is what you need to
help keep your Porsche, YOURS!
The first item to consider is a steering
wheel to brake pedal lock. This is a
sliding metal key lock that has one end
hooked around the brake pedal and the
other end hooked around the steering
wheel. With the key installed it slides
open and then removing the key, it slides
closed and locked, locking the wheel to
the pedal. It works. I saved my Sting
Ray twice with one of these!
Flashing LED. Sure the factory installs
these, and every thief knows more
about defeating the immobilized alarm
and LEDs that it came with than the
dealership mechanics! You need a
separate flashing LED flashing from a
non-factory installed position. That tells
a thief that something else, something
unusual, is installed in their potential
target. Most bad guys will move on.
However, I use a hidden position/2
position switch that does three things.
The hidden switch that is accessible
without drawing attention when
activated turns on a very bright red
flashing LED and also the second circuit
opens the fuel pump ground contact.
Without the switch being deactivated,
the fuel pump will not run and neither
will the engine start. [Ever notice how
a cranking starter draws attention
and a noisy car alarm has annoyed
people walking right past without even
looking?] Think on that for a moment.
So with a simple switch-LED you can
slow a bad guy down. Oh, and the third
thing it does? Reminds YOU to turn the
darn thing OFF when you get back in

Don’t change your budget,
change your perspective
Story by Greg Noss, Photo by Mike Knudsen
Here is a great series of 3 images that show dramatically
different lines on the same cone grouping
As a new season of autocross begins, so
does an opportunity to raise your driving
skills to a higher level. Whether you
admit it or not, if you autocross you are
a competitor. You may compete against
yourself, you may like the challenge
of testing laws of physics, but we all
compete against the clock, and everyone
else in our car class simply because it is
the most visible yardstick by which to
measure our driving skills. Autocross
is a unique activity because there are a
number of things that need to happen in
order for you to be successful. There is
the car, skill of the driver, and the ability
to identify and solve the challenges
created in the layout of the track. Most
of our tracks have a really good flow,
but our designers are very strategic
about putting one or two sections in
that require some problem solving to
figure out the best way to navigate them
quickly.
As participants in the Walters’ Porsche
Autocross Series, we are blessed by
having an exceptional team that designs
and lays out our courses every month.
We have a fabulous arsenal of instructors
who are almost always willing to take
a ride with you or offer some input.
Fortunately for us, our track design
team integrates unique challenges in
every track they create. For many of
us this is challenging, but often it can be
frustrating.
Autocross is unique in that you have
very little frame of reference until you
cross the timing lights at the end of the
course. As an instructor, I ride with
drivers of different skill levels, every
month. Over the last year it became very
clear how a simple suggestion to another
driver could help them shave seconds
off their lap times. An instructor adds
a frame of reference because they have
a completely different perspective than
the driver. From the passenger seat, the
instructor can focus on things the driver
doesn’t have time to think about. An
Instructor or another driver can give
you an entirely different perspective
about where your car should be, if you
should be braking in a different place
or if you are braking when you should
be accelerating. A second perspective
can help you fix small issues with how
you are approaching a specific course
or things you are doing in your driving
that are affecting your time negatively.
A very good friend of mine who raced
successfully for years always told me,
“Fix the driver then fix the car.” What
he meant by that phrase, is if you put
an okay driver in the car with more
power or a better suspension he won’t
necessarily be any faster... his mistakes
will just become more evident.
When you feel frustrated or like you’re
having trouble breaking through a
certain threshold, ask anyone with
an instructor band if you can ride
with them. You will get a different
perspective from the passenger seat.
Pay attention to where they place their
car, when they accelerate, where they
brake, and where they turn in. If they
do something that seems different from
what you would’ve done ask them why;
ask them to take a ride with you and
get their input. They may give you an
entirely different perspective about how
to approach a specific section of the
track, and if they do and you really want
to different perspective, have them drive
your car. You may be really surprised.
During this last season I was riding with
another driver. During his run I noticed
he was braking at two points where I
didn’t think he needed to. After the run
I pulled out a track map and asked him
why he was braking at those two points.
He said he had to in order to make the
turns. I had a different opinion and in
the end he said, “Show me” and had me
drive his car. He was really surprised
because from the passenger perspective,
he could clearly see I was lining up the
car on a different line that made the
section seem like a subtle transition.
After seeing how I drove it, he realized
I was able to accelerate through both the
sections where he had been braking.
I have ridden with a lot of newer drivers
that don’t realize how much faster
their cars can go through a corner and
maintain traction. By having a different
driver drive your car, it may help you
realize your car can do a lot more than
you think it can. Even as an instructor
and a successful competitor in my class,
I am always looking for drivers willing
to take a ride with me or let me ride with
them. When I first started instructing,
our chief driving instructor told me to
get in every car I possibly could, he
didn’t tell me why, but now I understand
it gives you a different perspective
and that is very valuable. If you are
fortunate enough that someone will let
you drive their car, take the opportunity,
having driven a wide variety of different
cars over the years, I seek out different
vehicles to drive because it helps me
understand the differences between
them.
Over the years I have learned you’re
not done until you think you know
everything, then you’re finished. A
different perspective and insight will
help you improve your driving skills
more than you may be aware. Spend
some time in the right seat, ask for input,
and remember the best perspectives
don’t always come from the guy with
the best lap time or the smartest guy in
the room.
Somewhere beyond
the Sea
Story and Photos by Garey Cooper
A strange tale to tell: a story of history,
today, yesterday, and tomorrow, and into
a realm of sight and sound (if not soul).
The 2014 Goodwood Revival beckons
to recall different times and different
climes.
How it all began
As a traveler and visitor of some note it
happens that I’ve been so many places
that it is sometimes necessary to return
to where you’ve once been before, to
really see it. If that sounds strange so
be it. But, quite often when you visit
something the first time it can be so
overwhelming to the point that things
blur. A second sighting can give some
clarity to observe an interesting tree
that you missed the first time through
because it was so thoroughly hidden in
the forest.
Because of this chance to see things
in a different light with a return trip, I
decided to ask Mrs. Cooper to return
with me to the Revival. Additionally,
2014 was my first full year of retirement
and that therefore I had a celebrants
right to a major chunk of vacation time.
Her first response to my logic was
that I should remember that California
was a “community property” state
and that I should also remember our
familial corporation included two
Board Members of equal voting status,
although her 50% added up to more than
my 50%. After the corporate vote, we
compromised with a stop on the “auld
sod” of Ireland for two weeks of golfing
before crossing over to “Merry Olde”
for the Revival.
The Emerald Isle
Ireland is green. This is due
to the fact that on any given
vacation you will spend at
least some time wet, cold,
wind blown, and trying to keep
your umbrella from getting
to England before you want
to leave. Once a week, a ship
crosses the Irish Sea with
umbrellas to return to Ireland
that have blown over the week
before. This weather is great
for plants (flora) and golf
courses, but paradoxically not
for the people (fauna) that play
on them. But Ireland is a great
place to renew your driving
skills on tiny lanes that are on
the wrong side of the road.
As well as Guinness on tap
to assuage the drama of said
tiny lanes. And let’s not forget
that they have golf courses in
abundance. Now I don’t want
Maxine T. Cooper on the links in Ireland
to bad mouth Irish weather, many have
done a better job of that so I will say that
we also had some clear and sunny days
as well as the wet ones. This time, more
of the dry days than wet.
Our Irish rental car was a Renault
“Fluence”, and no they don’t have those
in the USA. Now that I have driven one,
I know think it is probably for a good
reason. Our car had been returned by
the previous lessee with a little hidden
quirk of popping the right front fender
out of the holding tabs. Of course we
didn’t discover this until the morning
after we had rented this “voiture de
France” and we were already some 150
miles from the rental site. Confronted
by our hanging fender we decided that
it was better to stop a couple of times
per day to bang in back into place then
it was to return all the way to the agency
for a new “Fluence”. For all we knew,
one “Fluence” was pretty much like any
other anyway.
Merry Olde and
the Revival
After our two weeks in Ireland we packed
up our wet socks and damp underthings
and went across to England. This time
our rental car was a Volkswagen Station
Wagon, and an automatic. Both of our
rentals were diesels, but the automatic
was almost hard to get used to after
stirring gears along country roads in
Ireland. I kept reaching for the lever to
shove it into a lower gear only to find
neutral and amused looks from my
traveling companion and navigator,
Mrs. Cooper.
As per usual, the one thing we’d
overlooked in our earlier planning was
where to stay for the Revival. At least
we discovered our oversight before
we left home. Ultimately, we threw
ourselves upon the good people of the
Revival who recommended Chichester
and correspondence with their visitors
bureau. The Revival is VERY popular
and almost everything single room,
garret, and garage was rented out.
But the Chichester people found us a
“B&B” conveniently located next to the
Goodwood Race Course, and promised
it was “at least 3 stars” with “ensuite”
facilities. Just in case you don’t know,
“ensuite” means the bathroom is private
and conjoined in your room. This is an
important consideration if you don’t
want to wake up in the middle of the
night and bump down some unfamiliar
hallway in your skivvies looking for the
“loo”.
And so we found our B&B of “at least” 3
stars on a dark country lane and checked
in…….and then dragged our suitcases
up the tiniest winding iron staircase to a
room in the peaked attic that allowed you
to walk upright only in the middle six
inches of the roof line. Other than that,
a head bump alerted you to the fact that
you were in a former attic, now turned to
the good use of extracting money from
visiting yanks. Our hosts charmingly
insisted upon payment in cash, which
meant a nighttime drive to a local village
and ATM to withdraw said sum in Great
British Pounds (GBP). Such nice elderly
pirates, taxes and the non-declaration of
income may have had something to do
with this one me thinks.
Mrs. Cooper’s fondest memory of this
B&B is when talking to the lady of
the house, she saw a mouse scamper
right between said ladies feet! Maxine
jumped skyward and when asked why,
she responded to having just seen “a
mouse”. Our hostesses response was
“good thing it is only one then”…….
it does happen that where there is one
mouse there are usually friends and
family encamped as well. That meant
the rest of the weekend part of my job
was inspecting all facilities for rodent
residence before the entry of one
Maxine T. Cooper, my dearly beloved.
As has been said, some travel stories are
“priceless”. Even if they do cost a few
hundred quid as they say in England.
Can we finally get to
the Reunion?
Okay, so this year after some experience
I decided that we’d attend Saturday and
Sunday (Friday is also a day of races)
but only rent a grandstand for one day
(Sunday). This is because you can easily
spend one or two days walking around
the exhibits and parking areas with no
particular need to rest except to relieve
your feet or satisfy your appetite.
For your information my ticket package
total came to 425.28 GBP. This is just
around a million US dollars! Okay, it’s
more like $650 US dollars, but you
get the idea. It is not an inexpensive
undertaking. This includes the general
entry for two days plus the Grandstand
cost for Sunday, and includes a program
package that is actually kind of cool……
but as noted, expensive. This time around
I chose the roving Grandstand package
“Levant, Madgewick, Fordwater”.
We selected to sit in “Levant” which
is located at a further corner than the
grandstands nearer the start/finish line.
This was a conscious decision to avoid
some of the Sunday crowd and it is
based upon an observation that much of
the real racing can occur at this end of
the track.
This brings to mind that almost
everything at the Goodwood Revival
has a name and NOT a number…..not
sure why but there is no “grandstand
6” or “race 6” for that matter. It is
“Madgewick” or the “Earls Trophy
Race”. Rather quaint in our digital world
don’t you think?
Dress the part
Now imagine a 100,000 or so people
dressed in costume. That is the Revival.
It is almost as much fun to watch the
people, as it is to watch the cars. I carried
on with my flat cap and spectator shoes
as an American come over in the 1930’s

Breakfast Club Guest Speaker
Story by Marcia Salans, Photo by Gary Labb
Saturday February 7, 2015 was the first
official OCR PCA meeting of the New
Year - and whether driving from foggy
beach areas or starting out from a sunny
inland location- some 60 Porsches
sleekly muscled their way into Original

attendees enjoyed the monthly breakfast
buffet and enthusiastically listened to

current and new members’ additional

Ron’s handouts were a great bonus
outlining the various available TechArt

attendance and/or TechArt OCR PCA
participation!
Ron shared comments and insight
regarding engine tuning, products,
well intentioned owner attempts to
enhance vehicle performance potentially
invalidating vehicle warranty, top tier
gas and more - which elicited a variety of

February Breakfast Club Meeting
The 60th Annual
Porsche Parade
The Porsche Club of America cordially
invites you to attend the 60th Annual
Porsche Parade celebration in French
Lick, Indiana, June 21-27, 2015. Our
60th Parade coincides with the Club’s
60th Anniversary Celebration, and
we’re planning a series of special events
at French Lick that will pay tribute to
the cars and people who have made us
the greatest single marque sports car
club in the world. The 60th Parade will
rightfully pay homage to the members
and events of our past, but will also
celebrate the Club’s newest enthusiasts
who will shape our future.
Parade Registration will open to PCA
members on Tuesday, March 17, 2015
at 12 Noon EDT. The best place to
read about Parade activities is http://
parade2015.pca.org.
For the first time in recent memory, we
have not one, but TWO resort properties
awaiting your visit, both listed in the
National Register of Historic Places.
The 3,000-acre compound also features
three golf courses and a world class spa
at each facility.
The French Lick Springs Hotel,
established in 1832 and the larger of
the two resorts, will be host to many of
our familiar Parade activities. The city
and the resort were named for an early
French fur trading outpost and the nearby
salt lick. They recently completed a
$600 million dollar restoration, bringing
many comfortable present day amenities
to surroundings that are authentic to
the mid-19th century when the current
facility was built. It is perhaps most
known for their medicinal springs –
“Pluto Mineral Water.” The actual spring
is still part of their landscape,
and
the
Gardens
nearby will host
our Welcome Party
as well as various
activities throughout
the week.
Known as the eighth
wonder of the world,
and just down the
street, you’ll find the
West Baden Springs
Hotel. This resort
is home to the most
breathtaking feature
of our combined
facilities this year... a
free-span dome, the
largest in the world
(until the Houston
Astrodome was built in the 1960’s). An
architectural marvel, this breathtaking
Atrium will host our Concours and
Victory banquets.
Our Concours will be held a few steps
away through the covered bridge from
the north end of the French Lick property.
Rallies will depart from the grounds of
the West Baden, and banquets will be
held on both properties. The Parade 60th
year museum, Hospitality Suite, Goodie
Store, seminars and many meetings will
be at French Lick. Both resorts have lots
of parking and car wash stations.
want to enter, as well as which hotel is
your preference. The registration guide
will be on the Parade website by March
1st.
We will have our full complement of
competitive events: Concours, TSD
Rally, Autocross (at the nearby French
Lick airport), and Tech Quiz. Add to
that the Tours, Gimmick Rally, Golf
Tournament, Art Show, Michelin Drive
and Compare, Kids’ events, Tech
Academy, Cooking school, 5K run/
walk, Parade of Porsches and more – we
guarantee that you’ll be kept busy!
For those of you who are new to Parade,
you need to register for Parade on the
PCA or Parade website before getting
access to the codes necessary to hold
your room. Therefore, we recommend
browsing all necessary information
prior to opening day so you’re ready to
go. You’ll need to know what events you
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

If every person in our 1,150+ primary
membership tried just one new event this
year, we would be off to a great start! So
as you plan your calendars please check
out the PCA/OCR calendar and schedule
in a few dates to spend time with your
friends and those beautiful cars.
See you soon!

People. Porsches. Passion.
REMEMBERING MY FIRST PORSCHE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14
I won’t even attempt or try to technically
describe the upgrading and minutia of
details that was involved. To bottom
line the highlights of what Andial did, it
included these major upgrades... increase
cubic inches, installed hemispherical
heads with twin ignition plugs per
cylinder (I loved showing friends the
12 wire rotor cap), completely re-blue
printed the engine and added a tuned
exhaust.
Awesome,
unbelievable,
breathtaking, amazing, tremendous…
all these adjectives are inadequate in
describing the improved performance…
frankly “Holy Crap!” comes closer.
Let’s summarize the joy of driving this
superb and beautiful performance car
for 278,000 miles and never once did
it falter. A stock 1987 SC specifications
and performance were as follows:
My stock 1987 911 had 172 hp, after
Andial 240+ hp; my stock 911 did 0-60
mph inh 6.7 seconds, after Andial in 5.6
seconds; the stock car weight was 2,740
lbs; after Andial 2,618 lbs…without
spare; having removed air conditioner
and with magnesium racing wheels, the
stock elapsed time for ¼ mile at 15.3
seconds; after Andial 13.1 seconds.
In the most complementary way, my
1987 911 was like driving a steroid
go-cart that responded like it was an
extension of my body. Every day that I
drove this car for more than ten years…
was the highlight of my day for me. Even
though it has been a privilege to drive
a 2011 Turbo S whose performance
makes my old 1987 performance seem
slow by today’s performance standards,
in no way does it diminish the joy and
fun my 1987 911delivered for 10 years
over 278,000 miles! Like Bob Dylan
in haunting mystical lyrics for “Love
and Theft” chanted, “The future for me
is already a thing of the past, you were
my first love and you will be my last”.
In closing let me add I did have one
opportunity to drag race a small block
Shelby Cobra at Irwindale…Dieter
knew exactly what was needed…in the
deceleration area I almost swallowed
my ears having just beat a Shelby Cobra.

Alarms
I’ve removed dozens of non-operational
or broken aftermarket alarms from
Porsches and almost all were wired
in so poorly that they caused other
problems and one even caused a fire!
Any aftermarket alarm company should
provide the owner with a copy of the
alarm’s wiring system. If that cannot be
provided, do not install the alarm!
There are newer cell phone-activated
systems that not only can sound an
alarm, but call you or a 911 operator and
report that the car is being stolen and
even report the GPS coordinates as the
car is being moved. Consult with your
insurance company and what ever you
do, keep your security system secure.
Loose lips have no car to drive!
you insurance and especially your
replacement values. All old Porsches
have much higher replacement values
than they did only a few years ago.

One last thing to do asap is to reevaluate
SOMEWHERE BEYOND THE SEA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 33
to watch sports. Mrs. Cooper adopted
for the first day a more Victorian look,
which suited her, as she is indeed an
original American Princess. But don’t
worry about possibly being out of place
in costume, you are more out of place
without a costume!
What do you see?
In the first place you will see some
breathtakingly rare machinery flogged
around a racecourse. This includes
Formula 1 cars of different eras, as well
as early Ferrari Sports Cars, and the like.
Some owners hire professional drivers
for the event and they are told to “get on
with it” which they do as if the cars were
just fresh off the assembly line. The
racing at the front is close and colorful
and many times you can see cars that
would normally only be in a museum
driven at the limit, up to and including
some slides, spins, and the occasional
fender contact (ouch!). Where do you
take a Ferrari 250 for some bodywork?
I’m not sure, but I am sure you carry a
bag full of money wherever it is.
Also, a part of the weekend is vintage
motorcycle racing. I am proud to say a
US rider of note, Kevin Schwanz, was a
hero and star. Some of these motorcycles
are so old they have leather belts to drive
the wheels and sound like a long time
smoker on an oxygen bottle. But they
chug around the track in period jodhpurs
and helmet and goggles going “hammer
and tongs”.
My personal favorites are the Formula
Junior and early 1-liter “screamer”
formula 3 cars. Having once raced these
types in my younger days, I can relate
to them and their sounds and smells. So,
with the open pits at Goodwood I always
make sure to stop by and admire them
when they are stationary.
This was a Jaguar appreciation year
and at one time on track there were
XKSS, D Types, and all manner of
BRM Formula 1 from the 1960’s, waiting for the “off”!
Jags in circulation. These are still fast
and beautiful and I am sure there were
some irreplaceable machines on track to
watch.
Okay, so what else?
There is an entire shopping area where
one can buy vintage clothing, or vintage
magazines, or even ride in vintage
amusement park equipment. It is almost
impossible not to buy something here,
so I opted for some cool socks and a
Polo shirt.
There is a preferred parking lot at the
entrance that is reserved for vehicles
manufactured before 1973 as I recall.
It is almost as interesting as the interior
and there are literally row upon row of
automotive archania such as “Blower
Bentley’s” and Railton to name but two.
Many are for sale so with an imaginary
pocket book it is fun to muse upon
the possibilities to bring home. Me to
customs officer; “Nothing to declare
sir”….. at least not here!
Bangers and Mash
Yes, you can. That is you can eat
“Bangers and Mash” or “Shepherds Pie”
or “Kidney Pie”, which the latter I do not
recommend. There are various eateries
around the field that specialize is all
manner of English food should you wish
to go there. I personally recommend the
Ales, but be aware not all are our low
alcohol content type “beers”. Some
are pretty stout and a couple will rob
you of your memory and equilibrium
without your knowing. I have also
found the English Ales to be wonderful
purgatives so be ready for this potential
as with all crowded sports events even
in mostly polite England, the wait at the
Loo complexes can be longer than you
expect. And NO ONE will give up their
place in that line, whatever your own
personal urgency.
A more lasting legacy
Goodwood was the World War II site of
an emergency landing field. This was
really necessary for some pilots who
had engine or other trouble that needed
a local “set down”. It was very urgent
for pilots and planes injured or damaged
in battle, and as a field it witnessed many
daring and wonderful acts of courage
and rescue. Also, sadly it witnessed
some tragic and violent outcomes to
young lives. An American pilot flying
as a volunteer for the RAF named Billy
Fiske was one such victim. He landed
his aircraft but died a few days later of
burns, the first American of record to die
in the larger conflict of “official’ World
War II.
With such a record, airplanes are an
important part of the Revival. Several
are parked near the still standing hanger,
and are open for visit and viewing. Some
are antique, some not so old, but all have
a story to tell. So, you can stroll right up
and touch history.
Several flyovers are scheduled during
the Revival and this year there were
flyovers by the only two still flying
“Lancaster” bombers. One of them flew
all the way from Canada to participate.
That flight I am sure would be worthy
of story on its own. As Americans we
can be proud that some of the fighter
fly overs are in airframes such as the
famous “Mustang”….still a thrill and
still the “Cadillac of the sky”.
The story is that for Goodwood as a
race track, the beginning came when
the old periphery road was utilized for
clandestine car races by young men of
adventure during the war years. I guess
when death is a common concern, some
outlets are necessary. This morphed
into an actual race track after the war
when the need for the land to generate
revenues was coupled with the shared
recollection of those moonlit races.
To close, the whole Revival is a
retrospective of really 20th century
history as it unfolded around Goodwood.
This includes motor racing and of course
the “Big WWII”. There is a track parade
of vehicles dating from the war period
that includes of course tanks, as well as
trucks, jeeps, and ambulances. It is most
moving when those big Lancaster’s
fly over and the crowd breaks out into,
“Auld Lange Syne”. Not a dry eye in the
place.
Bucket List? Yes.
PS. for those of you who contemplate
such a trip I would be glad to share our
information and discuss the trip anytime!
