PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
President of AMR PCA
Ron Maxwell
This month’s Presidents article is
about the volunteers of our club.
The events we put on take many hours of preparation and
manpower. First off, I’d like to thank Keny Whitright and
Tom Mitchell for our annual DE at LaJunta. This year’s
theme was our 30th year club anniversary; Keny has a
follow-up article for all of the details. I believe that the
amount of effort by Keny for the CD he produced for this
event is some of the finest work ever done by any event
chair from our group. I was in the audience just like the
90 that attended the La Junta dinner to watch and enjoy the
presentation.
Fred Veitch, our first President of AMR, was the featured
speaker, along with Chick Misura; President of RMR at the
time AMR was formed. Between the both of them, well,
you had to be there for their very memorable presentation.
I would not have missed this event for anything. Super job
on a super event, Keny and Tom!
This past weekend was our second DE of the season.
Pueblo Mission: POSSIBLE. This is another example of
the spirit of the volunteers that all come together to make
the event a success. The event chairs for this event were
Tom Mitchell and Phil O’Brien. I would like to thank
individually those who came to the event just to work so
the rest of us could have a great time. First, Liz Hanson
stepped up to do registration at the track, on Friday the
day before the event. Dianne Cooper for doing all of the
work to get registration ready for her to hand off to Liz
so that she could be with her family that weekend. Stu
Sahr did corner working duties, and drove to Pueblo from
Woodland Park just to help for the weekend. Our starter
was Kent Early. If you have not seen Kent’s little squirrels
start and stop their stopwatches, you’ve missed an event!
Our chief driving instructor is Pat DiGiovanni, who
pulled the club’s trailer to Pueblo and then organized an
instructor crew that was on hand for the weekend. To all
of the instructors that participated in the event: thank you!!
These guys/gals are a very hard working, dedicated group
of instructors. Without their dedication and involvement,
the Porsche club’s DEs would not be nearly as successful
as they are. Cecil Morris was in control. Bob Speights
did timing. David Rossitier covered safety. The success
of each and every event is the corner workers. Everyone
pulls their own weight and then some, whenever the
request for more volunteers is announced. People that
have done their share, do more. Everyone does more that
they have to. All this is done for one reason. They enjoy
what the weekend gives back to each and every one of us.
I applaud you all as a wonderful and dedicated group of
Porsche enthusiasts.
I also have to say to all of the 914 drivers in the blue
group, what a fun weekend! To Grant: way to go!
This month our membership meeting will be in Woodland
Park, at the Ute Pass Cultural Center. This will be our
formal celebration of our 30th anniversary. There will be
a terrific LIVE Band, BADDOGS. They will play great
music of great tunes that span the last 30 years, just like
our club! Please find the article that explains what will
be happening on this night. I would love to see each and
every one of you at this membership meeting. This will
be a real party; dinner and dancing, even an inexpensive
cash bar. There will be many suprises. July 20th, make a
note on your calendar, this will be a great evening, and you
have to be there! It’s our 30th Anniversary!!
I’ve gone on way too long here! Thank you for your
support and participation. What a great club we have! See
you at one of our events real soon.
Ron Maxwell, President AMR

WHAT HAPPENED
Porsche Lovers take
LaJunta by storm.
Take 500 pounds of ice with 20 cases of water and 20 cases of
beer. Stir in 90 pounds of barbeque and 176 pictures from the
old days and you have a perfect recipe for a drivers ed event in
La Junta.
The weekend of May 21 was the
30th anniversary of Alpine Mountain
Region. The first weekend was set up
as a Zone 9 Mini Parade so all the Z-9
ers could practice for the up coming
national Parade. The charter was
presented by Hank Malter, national
treasurer of PCA. Our anniversary
weekend was set up as a celebration
of where we started and where we’ve
come.
The Saturday driver’s meeting started
off with as many first timers as grey
beards listening to a quick run through
of how we make the events safe and
fun and of course the perpetual plea
for corner workers. As we waited to
deploy the ambulance along with the
first wave of corner workers, we were
treated to a flyover by a ’39 Beechcraft
Staggerwing owned by Chris Barton. Turn 2, La Junta Car
owners were later encouraged to photograph their cars beside
the antique plane (air cooled, don’t ya know). Chris and his two
boys enjoyed watching the event and even took some of us up
for rides in return for a ride in Keith Hulley’s 911.
The heat on Saturday (107 at one reading) did not deter anyone’s
fun. It was ironic that Where it all Began became the first
Challenge series DE of the season because 3 weeks before, the
CDR event was snowed out. Everyone pitched in to help, from
sharing shade to helping push cars that wouldn’t start. The most
striking volunteer was Fred Veitch, who manned the gate in the
middle of the first afternoon. He claimed it was a promotion for
being the first president of AMR. There were 57 drivers in 4 run
groups.
Make some friends! Join The PCA Today!

We were lucky enough to have some notable guests attend. The
owners of the Colorado Springs and Denver Porsche Stores,
Duane Mentzer and Bob Hagestad brought their wives and
helped tell some of the old stories. Chick Misura, president of
RMR in 1975, and Greg Volan, club ubervolunteer and most
cogent historian of times past. also joined us. Saturday night
they shared memories and slides with 90 of us that gathered
at the Hog’s Breath Saloon for barbeque. We had laughter,
liquid libations and much
lingering over treasured
memories. Everyone
enjoyed the sharing of 30
years of camaraderie and
devotion to our unique cars.
Sunday dawned a lot cooler
with another flyover to start
the day. We had a great set
of run groups with several
drivers commenting the
cooler air helped their
horsepower. Time trials
ended the weekend with
30 drivers giving their
best effort to win TTD.
Congratulations to Top
timers Alec Acevedo and
Peggy Englert.
While great volunteers
always staff the events, we had lots of extra help with finding
photos from days past. Thanks to Ernie Kemper, Greg Volan,
Bruce Larsen and Bill Jackson for providing them. Thanks, too,
to Scott Longberry for assembling the slide show, especially the
snappy beginning. Again, a special thanks to Chris Barton for
providing the “air power” that helped make the event special. A
tip of the hat to Dave Rousseau, for making sure we didn’t run
out of ice.

TRUTH OR RUMOR...
I have posted photos from the Denver Concours at
http://www.968forums.com/index.php?showtopic=727
It was a great show, with us taking 3rd in our class,
and I think Howard Burr took 2nd in his class. Would
sure be great to get more AMR members participating
in this event, as it’s lots of fun, and raised $60K this
year for CP of Colorado.
Truth or rumors, eh?
How about these?
Truth or Rumor? Howard Burr’s beautiful Cayenne
Turbo had to compete with Porsche tractors in a
recent concours. It’s the truth.
Truth or Rumor? Kathleen couldn’t find a Q-tip in
the house after Chris completed cleaning of their 968
cab for the same concours. It’s a rumor - Kathleen
bought Chris his own supply of Q-tips for this very
reason!
Truth or Rumor? At the 3-day Rocky Mountain
High event in August, participants will be able to
“cleanse” their cars in the Arkansas river during the
Saturday rafting trip as preparation for the car show
on Sunday? You’ll have to come to find out!
You said you wanted DIRT - I think I’ve addressed
that with every one of these items.

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS
914 w/rough Idle at high temp.
Q: While Driving the (914) around town everything is perfect. Once
I get the car out on the freeway and drive an hour or two when I come
to a stop the idle will drop a bit, like 100-200 rpm, and it will idle a little
rough. I leaned out the idle mixture one click on the control unit and it
helped a little. It will run a little rough for about a minute at idle and then
will even out and regain normal idle speed. Any ideas would be great.
Also the control on the control unit is clockwise for a more rich idle mixture and to lean it out counterclockwise or is it the opposite. Also how
much does each click enrich or lean the idle mixture, I am an aircraft
mechanic and I now how bad a lean mixture can be to an aircooled
engine. Many Thanks!
A: The mixutre control on the brain box only controls idle mixture.
Clockwise leasn the mixture, counterclockwise richens it. You don’t
have to worry about too lean or rich as the control has no effect on off
idle or full load operation. I am not aware of any spec that tells how
much each click richens or leans the mixture. I generally sue it to get
the smoothest idle I can. These engines, as they wear, tend to need
a richer mixture. You may cure your whole problem by using the idle
mixture adjustment on the brain box.
Your rough idle could come from a variety of other sources. First of all,
you need to check your ignition system to ensure that the timing and
dwell is correct, and that the advance weights in the distributor are moving freely, and that the advance and retard diaphrams on the distributor
are hooked up and have no leaks. Also check the spark plugs and spark
wires to ensure they are in good shape.
Next check all of the vacumm hoses on the engine and their connections to ensure there are no leaks or cracks in the hoses, especially
cracks in ends of the hoses where they attach. Vacumm leaks can
cause all sorts of problems.
The fuel injection points in the bottom part of the distributor on your 1.7
liter engine can go bad causing a rough or uneven idle. They should be
changed about every 50,000 miles or so.
After you eleiminate all of the above, you could check for a partially
clogged fuel injector or dryed out seals. Any place that has a fuel injector cleaning machine can handle yours and check for the spray pattern.

AMR EVENT
There is a fifth turn beyond that which is known to man. It is a
turn as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle
ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and turns four
and six. This is the dimension of imagination. It is a turn which
we call ...
THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
Ryan and Rebecca Hiatt, average young AMR members who
attended a membership meeting in Colorado Springs last night
and on the way home took in a DE in Pueblo.
Most of us while driving know exactly where we are; the cellphone or the Starbucks brings us out of sleep into the familiar
sights, sounds, aromas of the track and the comfort of a routine
turn ahead.
Not so with our young friends. This will be a turn like none they’ve ever spun - and they’ll spin it in the Twighlight Zone.
Pueblo will never feel the same after August
6th and 7th. You will be changed forever by Drivers Education at PMI.
The moral of what you’ve just read is clear: if you drive, drive fast. And if your friends drive fast, drive faster for you may find yourself
within the wonderous closed loop known as Pueblo Motorsports park (A.K.A. the twilight Zone).
“You’re traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land
whose boundaries are that of the imagination. Next stop: THE TWILIGHT ZONE.” —Thanks and apologies to Rod Serling

Janet Guthrie
Reviewed by
Tedwilliam Theodore
for women Racers and Their fans!
Congratulations Danica Patrick on
Your History Making, Head Turning
Performance at Indy! Visit our “Racer
Profile” section to learn of other
amazing women racers!
Racecar driving is a wonderfully powerful addiction. It controls
minds and determines destinies. For those in its embrace, the old
adage that racing is life and everything else is just waiting is a
glorious fact.
Janet Guthrie’s new book, Janet Guthrie: A life at Full Throttle,
describes one such racing life. It is a page-turner that takes
us, race by race, through the exhilarating, heartbreaking and
tumultuous three years when Guthrie was at the highest and the
lowest points of her racing career. It is a life lived fully in those
three brief years.
There is, of course, the other story woven through the pages
of A Life. Guthrie’s account of the gender bias lapsing into
personal attacks and focused hatred that stalked her as she rose
in prominence underscores her determination to live the life she
could not avoid. It’s a cautionary and inspiring tale.
Guthrie also gives the reader a glimpse of her early childhood
in the piney woods of Florida’s undeveloped Dade County of
the 1940’s, where her parents spent years hand crafting a stone
house in the wilderness. She alternated between shinnying up
trees and attending Miss Harris’ Florida School for Girls. The
independence and iconoclasm of that life prepared her well
for her life as a racecar driver and, perhaps, made her unsuited
for a more traditional calling. As she tells it, “... I was born
adventurous and grew up insufficiently socialized.”
Janet Guthrie was the first woman to race in the Indianapolis
500...
At its core, Janet Guthrie: A Life at Full Throttle is a story about
automobile racing. Forget gender issues, forget stone houses
in the woods and schools for girls, forget an early career in the
aerospace industry. Guthrie can describe a race or a season of
racing from the driver’s point of view in a way that demands a
reader’s attention.
Janet Guthrie was the first woman to race in the Indianapolis
500, at that time the world’s most prestigious automobile race.
In the opening words of the book, Guthrie admits her addiction.
“You could live a whole lifetime at Indianapolis Motor
Speedway in the single month of May.”
Elegant passages piled on top of one another articulate that
addiction. Describing a qualifying run at Indianapolis in 1977,
18
she writes of complete abandonment and timelessness. “I was
far beyond any sense of self. My senses were entirely meshed
with the car. Its grip on the smudged black line through the turns
was as intimate as my skin. Ahead of me, the next turn stretched
toward infinity. Behind me, the two completed laps shrank to a
microsecond, done and gone.”
If a reader isn’t fully captured by the experience of racing,
the description of race after race might seem repetitive. Once
enthralled, however, the reader is open to the possibility of
racing as a metaphor for life. Amidst the talk of race strategy,
Guthrie offers nuggets of truth. “The frame of mind that enables
all this [racing] is beyond the confines of everyday experience.
You can’t drive well in competition if your mind is muddled.
You must find your way to a different place. It’s a crystalline
state, like when a saturated solution of some chaotic liquid
is lowered a
hundredth of
a degree in
temperature,
and instantly
reorganizes itself
into a geometric
structure
of infinite
precision. That
is what enables
the soaring
Janet Guthrie racing her Jag
sensation of
committing yourself to fly through the turn at the highest speed
your machine will bear, with only the most tenuous grip on the
pavement. There may be serious penalties for error, and you
must acknowledge that and accept it.”
From 1977 through 1980, Guthrie competed in thirty-three
Winston (Nextel) Cup races, including the Daytona 500 in
1977 at which she earned Top Rookie honors. She drove in
eleven Indy-car USAC Championship races. Her sixth-place
finish at Bristol in 1977 remains the best finish by a woman
in NASCAR’s superspeedway era. Her fifth-place finish at
Milwaukee in an Indy-car was the highest by a woman in
twenty-one years.
It was a time of exhilaration and false hope. It was a constant
search for sponsorship. It was a constant battle with decisionmakers who believed that a woman could not drive a racecar and
with boorish fans and competitors who feared that she could.
A life of such intensity is, by its nature, short lived. Guthrie
bought and drove her first sports car, a Jaguar XK 120, in
1960. She campaigned it and other cars in amateur and some
professional competition for fifteen years before she entered the
arena of world class racing at Indianapolis in May 1976. At the
end of May 1978, with her ninth place finish at Indianapolis , her
life at full throttle was over. “Off the gas. It is done. The pressure
comes off, the muscles unwind. The trees and grass come back
into view; and the sky, the clouds, the grandstands, the hundreds
of thousands of brilliant people-dots. I smell the warm summer
Indiana air.” Continued page 22

Three Days of Porsche Fun in Colorado
Alpine Mountain Region’s Rocky Mountain High
August 19-21, 2005
It’s time to plan for the big multi-event weekend of the summer. August 19-21, get ready for Rocky Mountain
High.
On Friday, August 19th we’ll begin with a scenic driving tour, taking in some fun Porsche mountain roads, with
the usual array of interesting stops and sights along the way. The tour will wind up in beautiful Salida, CO that
evening. We have a very nice hotel picked out, and a great rate of $60 arranged for our group.
Saturday, we’ll head over to Canon City, CO via the best canyon drive in the state, for a half-day rafting trip
through Royal Gorge. The trip is sure to please everyone from the first-time rafter to the experienced thrill
seeker. The Gorge is truly spectacular, over 1000 feet in depth, and we’ll pass under the highest suspension
bridge in the world, which spans the chasm.
Once we’re done with rafting, we’ll stop at a terrific spot you won’t want to miss for a great family style dinner,
before ending up in Manitou Springs, at the base of Pikes Peak. There, we have negotiated special rates ranging
from $97.50 to $121.50 (many of the rooms have two bedrooms if you want to share) at the historic El Colorado
Lodge, built in the early 1900s, featuring unique adobe architecture and a southwestern flair.
To wrap up a great weekend, on Sunday, we make the very short drive into Old Colorado City for the Good
Times Car Show, joining many other marques and enthusiasts in one of the best car shows in Colorado. Prizes
and lots of fun.
If you can’t make it to all three days of the event, you’re welcome to pick and choose just those activities you
can attend.
We have very limited hotel space, so fill out the special registration form on the next page, get it in to us ASAP
along with your registration check, and follow the instructions to make your hotel reservations.
We look forward to seeing everyone for this fun filled weekend.

It should not have been so. Janet Guthrie’s racing life was cut
short, not because she was unable to compete, but because the

Growing up isolated and fiercely independent in the middle of a
Florida wilderness blinded Guthrie to the accepted wisdom that
there were certain things that women, called girls, just didn’t
do. A chance encounter, in early 1961, with a gymkhana event
(a timed one-car-at-a-time drive through a course delineated
in a parking lot by cones, now called autocross) was Guthrie’s
undoing.
She entered her Jaguar XK 120 in the event and returned week
after week to compile a respectable record. She quickly moved
on to hill climbs, a dangerous one way drive up twisty, mostly
unpaved mountain roads, again against time. From there, it was
only a short step into real road racing with the then impressive
Sports Car Club of America.
Gender bias first hit, not in auto racing but in her professional
career. She had applied to NASA to become an astronaut. Her
credentials were outstanding and she was one of four women
finalists. After publicly milking the fact that they had four
women among their final candidates, NASA rejected them all.
Later she was told that NASA would never put a woman in orbit;
something about urinating in space.
Then followed years of high level amateur racing, with excellent
results, and a number of ‘women-as-gimmick’ professional
races. These were mostly under funded teams with women
drivers, not designed to cost the sponsor much money or to win
races but to bring praise to the sponsor for its egalitarianism.
Guthrie and a small group of women drivers entered these
uneven competitions each time with great hopes that, this time,

SPECIAL FEATURE, CONTINUED
things would be better
and because, as the
guy says, it was the
only game in town.
Despite their
handicaps, Guthrie
Janet Guthrie racing at the Indy 500
and her sister drivers
created an impressive set of statistics. They took fifth in class
and twentieth overall (out of sixty) at the 24 Hours of Daytona in
1967, driving what had been someone’s street car Mustang just
a week before. They took the GT6 class win at the 12 Hours of
Sebring that same year.
Guthrie’s glorious life at full throttle was accompanied by gender
bias almost unimaginable by a reader in 2005. She was shunned
by fellow drivers, blamed for on-track mishaps not remotely
her fault, jeered openly and crudely by fans, served poorly by
some mechanics and crew members, and relegated to the worst
possible paddock accommodations at some tracks. There were
many friends in the racing world as well, men and women who
offered help and understanding, but their support did not fully
counterbalance the general effrontery.
A racecar driver learns to block out all distractions once in the
car. Guthrie tells us that her concentration, by necessity, began
earlier, each time she donned her racing suit and claimed to be
a racecar driver. “The change of clothes was a ritual, significant
on several levels. One of them was that I shed, with my feminine
clothes, any of the feminine aspects of my personality that
could interfere with my competence as a driver. There would be
no residue of helplessness, dependency, or passivity - learned
behaviour that was historically part of our culture’s feminine
identity. The subtle body language that said ‘female’ - the shrug
of the shoulders, the lowered gaze - disappeared. It wasn’t
consciously suppressed; it simply vanished, like so much useless
baggage. The driver part took precedence over everything else.”
Finally, however, the bias against women in racing ended
Guthrie’s career. Texaco sponsored her in the 1978 Indianapolis
500, a race in which she finished ninth, nursing a freshly broken
wrist the entire time. Although she had compiled a record that
would have kept a male racecar driver in sponsorship money for
many years, Texaco did not renew its sponsorship. The company
had received some letters of praise for its sponsorship of Guthrie,
but it had also received an even greater number of torn up credit
cards from irate fans.
Guthrie found sponsorship for only a few races after her historymaking finish at Indy in 1978 and gave up the search entirely
before the start of the 1983 season. She took up skiing, a sport
that she says is “the most similar to motorsports - the same
balancing on the edge of adhesion, the same joyful acceptance of
risk....”
The bias against women in racing has diminished greatly over
the years. Guthrie and other women racecar drivers have proven,
beyond a doubt in any reasonable mind, that women have the
strength, the courage, the ability to concentrate, the endurance,
the will, and all the other attributes needed to compete at a high
level on the racetrack. Soon, perhaps, they will prove that they
have that most precious of attributes, the ability to attract enough
sponsorship money to make their life at full throttle last more
than a brief few years.
