About the Cover: This photo was taken by Rich Tsai and was reprinted with permission. I happened to see Rich’s photo in
the Jan/Feb issue of the Porsche 356 Registry magazine. Rich stated that if you only noticed the car that you were spending
way too much time in the garage. Rich took the photo at the Niello Porsche concours at Serrano last October. The caption
in the Registry stated: The lady was wearing a Ferrari outfit while detailing a Porsche. Rich gave her grief about that and
she complained to him about not being able to find any “cute” Porsche outfits to wear. He then sent her to the Porsche
Design Store. Thank you Rich for setting her straight and for letting us use your photo. Check out Rich’s website at www.

President’s COLUMN
It’s February, and the end of winter is finally is sight. If you feel
like single digit temperatures
and snow in the forecast sounds
like the end of winter that is!! Our
CIA had its first board meeting
at Old Chicago in Coralville on
Saturday and we have a great
looking schedule coming together for your Porsche Pleasure
in the coming year. We will be
starting in April with a tech session at Stalltech near Wellmen
Iowa, where we will inspect the
inner workings of a 915 5-speed
transmission and install a new
set of syncros. Lee and Neil will
also give a tour of their ongoing
356 restorations. It’s always a
great time to visit their shop and
see the ultimate in 356 restorations. Just remember that there
is about a ¼ mile or so of gravel
road just before you arrive. Final
details and a map to their shop
will be forthcoming. Our May
event will be a return to the St.
Donatus Body & Paint Shop for
their open house and tour. This
is a really fun event because of
all the types of collector cars that
show up. You can expect to see
full classics, hot rods, muscle
cars and, of course, the greatest sports cars in the world. We
are also planning two events
in June in conjunction with the
Schonesland Region with a return to autocrossing at the Marshalltown go-kart track and a
Porsche Paddock for the Indycar
race at Newton Speedway. All of
these plus an ice cream social,
Botham Winery Car Show, Sertoma, Fall Leaf Tour and other
events will make for a great driving season in 2011.
See you on the road.

The Stud
Two priests died at the same time
and met Saint Peter at the Pearly
Gates.
St. Peter said, “I’d like to get you
guys in now, but our computer’s
down. You will have to go back
to Earth for about a week, but you
can’t go back as priests. What’ll it
be?”
The first priest says, “I’ve always
wanted to be an an eagle, soaring
above the Rocky Mountains .”
“So be it,” says St.. Peter, and off
flies the first priest.
The second priest mulls this over
for a moment and asks, “Will any of
this week ‘count’ St. Peter?” “
“No. I told you, the computer’s
down, there’s no way we can keep
track of what you are doing.”
“In that case” says the second
priest, “I’ve always wanted to be a
stud.”
“So be it” says St. Peter, and the
second priest disappears.
A week goes by, the computer is
fixed, and the Lord tells St. Peter to
recall the two priests..
“Will you have any trouble locating
them?”, He asks.
“The first one should be easy,” says
St. Peter. “He’s somewhere over
the Rockies, flying with the eagles.
But the second one could prove to
be more difficult.”
“Why”, asks the Lord
“He’s on a snow tire, somewhere in
Iowa “

My 9 (of 11) Years of Porsche Parades
By Marisa’s Milavetz
For my whole life I have
been going to the Porsche
parades and have had a
blast at all of them. We usually get a bag full of special
Kid’s Porsche stuff and then
there are planned kid-specific activities, such as the
kid’s autocross, crafts, movies, karaoke, remote control
cars, coloring, slot cars and
drawings. Most places had
swimming pools as well as
other fun activities.
2002 Idaho – This is one of
my favorite memories. I
was 3 and my family wanted me to do the kids autocross. When it was my
turn, my cousin Brain Teresi
strapped me into my stroller
and started pushing me full
speed around the course.
My hair was flying back and
my hands were gripping the
side of the stroller. It was
awesome!
2005 Hershey- We toured
Hershey’s
factory
and
learned how chocolate
was made. We also went to
a pretzel place and made
our own pretzels.
2000 Sacramento- was my
first Parade - I was only one
and I don’t remember anything about it.
2001 Milwaukee- Our friends,
the Asmus family met us
there. They have a daughter
Natalie that is about my age.
The hotel had an awesome
water park, which we spent
tons of time.

2003 TampaTampa They had the
best and I mean the best
kid show EVER! The kid’s
program director’s choreographed a show which we
performed at one of the
banquets.
They gave us
hats, plastic microphones
and lime green shirts. We
were “cool”.

The Porsche 911 is the most accomplished race car ever at the
Rolex 24 with 38 combined class
and overall wins, and Porsche
having scored 22 overall wins
at the January classic since its
inception in 1962. Since the
Porsche 911 GT3 Cup has been
the Porsche standard-bearer in
GT (starting in 2005), it is the
most successful GT car in the
current series, leading its GrandAm competitors in championships, victories, pole positions
and podium finishes. Porsche
911 race cars have won nine of
the 11 Rolex 24 GT races since
Grand-Am took over the race in

obtains its additional power from
its own vehicle dynamics when

From the tradition established by
classic Porsche long-distance

short-tail coupé (1971), the
Porsche designers created a
link to the postmodernism of the
“form follows function” philosophy. In the 918 RSR, the lines’ elegant flow is dominated by muscular wheel arches, dynamic air

Motor racing technology also
dominates within the particularly
light, torsionally stiff carbon fiberreinforced plastic (CFRP) monocoque. The V8 engine is a further development of the direct
injection engine from the successful RS Spyder race car and
now offers an output of precisely
563 hp at 10,300 rpm in the 918
RSR. The electric motors on the
two front wheels each contribute
75 kW, i.e. a total of 150 kW, to
the peak drive power of exactly
767 hp. This additional power,
which is generated during braking, is stored in an optimized flywheel accumulator.
In the 918 RSR, the two electric
motors offer a torque vectoring
function with variable torque distribution to the front axle. This
additionally increases agility and
improves steering response.
Mounted upstream of the rear
axle, the mid-engine is integrated
with a racing transmission also
based on the RS Spyder race
car. This further developed sixspeed constant-mesh transmission with longitudinally mounted
shafts and straight-toothed spur
gears is operated using two shift
paddles behind the racing steering wheel.

TRG’s Kevin Buckler Elected
to Road Racing Drivers Club
Petaluma, CA, (January 10,
2010) - TRG owner/driver Kevin
Buckler has been elected to the
prestigious Road Racing Drivers
Club (RRDC). The 58-year-old
organization headed by Bobby
Rahal holds a roster of over 350
distinguished members from the
worldwide motorsports community.

Kevin Buckler’s resume includes

the
wheel as well as on the pit box.
Prominent in his trophy case as
a driver are three Rolex Series
Daytona 24 Hour wins in 2002
and 2003, the last was an overall victory in a GT class car. The
third win in 2009 was as a team
owner. In addition, in 2002 he
won the GT category at the 24
Hours of Le Mans, in that same
year he also won the prestigious
Porsche World Cup as the most
successful Porsche driver of that
year. On the pit box his sports
car team won two back-to-back
Rolex Series GT championships
in 2005 and 2006 and holds the
Grand-Am win record with 31.
As a team owner he expanded
his racing footprint in 2007 by

used to driving a big Viper, but
the Porsche feels strangely similar. The Porsche is more nimble, you can carry more speed

Buckler said. “We unloaded the

The Porsche experience reaches across the cars
and the years to people, binding
together the family whose name
the cars bear, the men and women
who design and build them and
those across the world who drive
and cherish them.

The Porsche Club of America
was founded in 1955
with the following objectives in
mind: to promote the highest
standards of courtesy and safety
of the roads; to enjoy and share
the good will and fellowship engendered by owning a Porsche;
to maintain the highest standards
of operation and performance
of the marque; to establish a
mutually beneficial relationship
with the Porsche factory, dealers and other service sources;
to exchange ideas with other
Porsche clubs throughout the
world; and to establish mutually
cooperative relationships with
other sports car clubs. Membership in the PCA will add to your
enjoyment of owning one of the
finest automobiles in the world.

membership if there is someone
who would like to participate in
club activities with you. There is
