I am sitting in front of my computer screen anticipating Redwood's two days of Zone 7 Autocrosses this weekend.  Last month I wrote about the planned changes to my '83 SC -- some have come to pass, some are not yet done.The lightweight battery (Odyssey PC680) arrived on time, but the aluminum housing to mount it to the smuggler's box wall did not. I decided to fabricate it myself from the pictures I had seen. It was actually a lot of fun to do and it came out even better than the one I had ordered. It's amazing what you can do with rudimentary fabrication tools (clamps, a cast iron table saw, a vise, and a weighted rawhide mallet).

 

This work gave me the bug to do more in the trunk. After relocating the battery, I got inspired by the smuggler's box and blower motor covers I saw on Rennline, and built them as well. I have included pictures below.The more I work on this car the more I love it.

The SSI's I ordered back in the beginning of May have yet to arrive. For those that do not know, company ownership has changed, and manufacturing has moved to Denmark.  I now have an anticipated arrival date of June 21.  The good news is the website that I ordered from agreed to a 20% discount for my trouble. I just hope the build quality is as good as before (fingers crossed).  While I wait for these heat exchangers to arrive, I continue to puzzle over what kind of muffler to buy.  The stock muffler will no longer suffice as it has a single input, whereas the SSI's need two.  I have looked at Dansk, Bursch, M&K, and am open to looking at others.Brad at Hi Tec was good enough to bring in his SC for me to listen to. Although I loved the sound it made, the jury is still out on just what to purchase. If you have an SC with modified exhaust, I would definitely appreciate an opportunity to hear it. 

 

Okay, enough about my car... June starts our Region into the busy months.Below you will see that we have not only the two days of autocross, but a three-day tour through Northern California on some of the State's best secondary roads (still time to sign-up for this one!).  We originally had a drive and dinner scheduled at Pech Merle Winery for the 29th, but due to permit timing we have had to reschedule this event to later in the year. It has been replaced by a dinner run to the Plaza Bistro in Sonoma.  Those of you that attended this event last year know how great the food is.  We hope to see you back.

      

July will continue the trend. Porsches on the Plaza promises to be even better this year than last.  Our Event Director and Treasurer, both avid bicycling enthusiasts, are providing added value to the July 13 event by organizing bike rides to take place in conjunction with the car show. As in past years, all proceeds will go to our charity, CASA, who will have a booth on the Plaza.  Please come out, show your car, and do a good deed for the challenged youth of Sonoma County. July also has a Redwood autocross and a wine tour (Far Niente). August activities include another wine tour (Fieldstone in Alexander Valley), autocross #7, and although not a Redwood event, Legends of the Autobahn and Holy week in Monterey. I have received big help on putting together the driving route for the Fieldstone Tour from new member Scott Buchannan.  Susan and I met Scott and his wife Diane on this year's Whale Tale Rallye. Thank you Scott for all the scouting and driving of our proposed routes.

 

As I have said many times before, if you have an event that you would like to see and help the club put on, please contact any Board member.  

 

That's all for now. Down the road,

Vern

The summer season's activities are now in full swing with autocrosses, concours, tours and dinners aplenty. Redwood Region and Zone 7 activities and events are featured in this issue of der Riesenbaum -- check them out. This issue also brings you reports on recent events and a variety of articles we hope you find interesting and enjoyable. New this month is what we hope to be an ongoing feature -- Personal Porsches. This month, Craig Steele, Redwood Region Secretary, shares the story of his 996. If you have an interesting personal Porsche and story, we would like to hear from you (and so would the membership).

Vern mentioned that there will be a bicycle ride as part of the Sonoma Porsches on the Plaza event (7/13/13). There will be three separate rides, each of different length and pace-- there should be one to your liking. I will lead one of the rides: from the Sonoma Plaza to Cuttings Wharf. You cyclists out there, please join us on one of the rides. Stay tuned for more information from Don Magdanz, Event Director.

Cheers, Jerry

Porsche World Roadshow at Sonoma Raceway - Saturday, May 11, 2013

by Tom Markovich, Redwood Region Member       


Last August I was given the opportunity to participate in the Porsche World Road Show at Point Alameda: a more intense (although shorter) test drive than you would expect at a dealer. Fortunately I had the opportunity to participate again, but this year at Sonoma Raceway with actual track time! Vern Rogers and I signed up for the 7:45 am segment (I got there at 7:00 since I woke up the first time at 3:20 am), had the introduction to the schedule of events and was assigned to group 2 of 2. Both groups were treated to a demonstration of two Carreras on a water covered skid pad to show the difference between two wheel vs. four wheel drive/with stability control and without. I never considered four wheel drive in a sports car before, now I am a convert. Without stability control the first car (full time, professional Porsche driver), spun out and the one with four wheel drive lost traction and control. With stability control, no loss of control and much faster; impressive. Porsche Road Show '13.1

 

We then moved to the track where three groups of four cars (plus lead driver) were ready for our testing. Following the leader as close as possible (he tried to keep the pack together), we did a lap of the portion of Sonoma Raceway used for Nascar racing. Starting with the 2014 Cayman, then the Carrera, Cayman S and Carrera 4S, we did one lap, changed driver/passenger, did another lap then changed cars. Depending upon the other drivers, we were able to go at a speed exceeding dealership test drives. While the power of these cars was impressive, their braking is exemplary. A portion of Sonoma Raceway requires a very hard braking before a nearly 90degree turn and these cars slowed with no drama, flat, firm. Wow!

Porsche Road Show '13.4

 

Next stop was the low speed SUV/sedan autocross course (just not as fast as our Sonoma County airport venue). This portion was focused on the difference between the two styles of each class. The Panamera hybrid vs. V6 gasoline powered car and the Cayenne vs. Cayenne diesel. The most measurable difference for me was the initial torque of the hybrid and diesel and the lighter weight of the V6. Four people, 150 mph (on the autobahn) for hours at a time, these vehicles are unimaginable. While my focus was performance, the interiors and exteriors are world class. Rich leathers, brushed aluminum and stainless steel, sport seats with an electric extension of the seat bottom for us who need more leg support (get the 14 way power seat; money well spent). Wow! A static display of Carreras, Boxster, Cayenne and Cayman models were available for inspection, seat adjustments and storage considerations (I think my current Cayman has more room for golf clubs but would not get me to the course in the same level of style). Our parting gift was a Porsche hat in black. Porsche is doing ten of these three day events across the country (our event was the first on their calendar), so if you have the opportunity to attend, take it, great fun. Porsche Road Show '13.3

 

PS. Porsche is developing two venues to provide a facility for people to have the "Porsche Experience" in a controlled environment. One is being developed in Atlanta in conjunction with their headquarters and one in Carson, California. While not racetracks, they will provide areas for education in low traction driving, autocross, off-road and high performance driving. The Southern California facility is expected to be open sometime in 2014. Considering how professional these roadshows are run, you can only imagine what these facilities will offer.

Kurt's Korner: Sonoma Historics Motorsports Festival - Sunday, May 19, 2013  

by Kurt Fischer, Past President, Redwood Regionkurt fischer headshot

 

Dateline - 7:45 am. I arrive at Race Sonoma with the sun peeking out of the low fog and with winds about 20 knots ready for a great day of vintage racing.

 

David Bunch and Sharon Neidel arrive shortly thereafter in the Porsche Support Vehicle (PSV) loaded with a pop up tent, flags, banners, chairs and water for the setup of the Redwood Region's car corral.  

Ronald Breeze Photo
 

Cars start arriving slowly but surely and the corral-parking wizard, Mike Klunk, eases them into logical rows. Being good German car people we like precision lines, and Mike arranges them well.  The weather is warming up and looking for temperatures in the mid-80's...it is going to be a fun day!

 

Since we are unofficially the "Redwine Region", we also look forward to the Wine Pavilion with samplings from local vineyards, food, chocolate, and of course great people watching.  Since this part of the Historics happens at lunchtime,we are not missing important races.  It is a wonderful time catching up with people we sometimes only see at these races.

 

I spend time in the grandstands with Steve and Wendy Vest, friends form Diablo Region,

watching the various classes run. The afternoon is now warm and up on the Turn 2 hill the winds really have kicked up. I decide to head back to the corral area to find our banners have all blown over, the flags are down, but all is in good shape. 

Ronald Breeze Photo
 

We had about 50 Porsches in the corral; down from our normal 100+ cars as a number of other car events are happening this same weekend.  For those of you that have never been to the Historics, you cannot believe the cars that are up close and personal in the paddock area and on the track.    It is car person's heaven and I highly recommend that you join us next year.

Loma Prieta Region and Parts Heaven Zone 7 Concours #1                by Barbara McCrory

1987 Porsche 944
Your reporter on the street (me) decided during the winter to show the 1987 Porsche 944 in the Zone 7 Concours series.   The last time Steve and I participated was with a 1967 911 in the Competition Category way back in the last decade. 1967 Porsche 911  

  

  

  

  

  

  

Loma Prieta and Parts Heaven hosted the first Zone 7 Concours Sunday, June 2, 2013.  This concours also features a swap meet which was well attended by many who needed just that special part that is no longer made.  I was too busy cleaning to take advantage of the swap meet though.  As I did the last dusting of the car, I thought there must be something that makes these people show up every year with clean cars.  So I decided to ask some of the participants why they do this, and what they hope for in a Judge.

 

Top Ten Reasons why Porsche people show a car at a concours more than once and their wish list for a Judge.

 

 10.   I washed the car twice, why not?

   9.   I want the Judge's fingers to be bigger than mine.

   8.   I show up because I am in charge, and I have a new car so why not?

   7.   I wanted to see how my car placed relative to the other crazy people.

   6.  It gets me out of the house on Sunday.

 

To be continued after Sacramento Valley Region Niello Concours on June 16, 2013.  You too can get a chance to participate in the top ten.  Just look for the Almond Beige Metallic 1987 Porsche 944 - - - and have your answers ready.

Personal Porsches: Craig Steele's 996 

Story and Photos by Craig Steele, Redwood Region Secretary


                                               Our Legend from Autobahn (Dismantlers)

 

In mid-2009 my son Sean Steele sent an e-mail: "Hey Dad does your friend Rhoann still want a Porsche?"  When I opened the picture file there was a cute '99 Porsche 911 Cabriolet (996), Guards Red with tan interior. Sean owns and operates Autobahn Dismantlers of El Cajon, specializing in used BMW and Porsche auto parts.

 

Just for fun I forwarded the Porsche picture to my wife, Sandy. She came into my office minutes later and said: "Let's buy that Porsche!"  In an instant we shifted our universe and became Porsche owners.       I called my son and asked how much do you want for the car? He said: "For you Dad, $21,000 with my personal parental warranty." The car had a cracked head causing a leak into the coolant system. Sean had one of his Porsche master mechanic clients re-built the entire engine back to factory specifications. The car was in mint condition, save the engine, spending her time touring Southern California and it was always parked in the garage at night. She had 47,000 miles and came with a hardtop to make her a coupe during the rainy season.   

 

Two Wheels Off at Turn 2 Laguna Seca

The car was ready to drive to it's new home on December 13, 2009.  I flew down to San Diego and drove the Porsche 600 miles back to Santa Rosa. I had only driven two Porsches in my life! Both were test drives of less than 20 minutes each. So I started out cautiously as I drove North. When I got past Los Angeles I started to see what this hot red machine could do. Highway 5 proved to be a great learning experience. I started doing exits and merges so I could feel the braking and acceleration. WOW! It was the most exciting drive to Santa Rosa I had ever taken.

 

Sandy and I joined PCA - Redwood Region in January 2010 and attended most of the club activities offered. I started participating in autocrosses to improve my driving skills. To date I have driven 12,000 Porsche miles and every mile has a story full of fun, friendship and freedom. My wife and I love this hot red car and what it adds to our lives.  We love the breakfast runs, the overnight events and the annual holiday party. It does redefine the journey and our enjoyment of "Porsche family."

 

It is our legend from the Autobahn of El Cajon.

Five Years Ago in Redwood Region 

 
from der Riesenbaum 2008     

 

On Saturday night, about 15 Zone 7 autocrossers met at Johnny Garlic's restaurant in Windsor for our post-autocross dinner. We were awarded door prizes of wines from Mosaic Vineyards -- our sponsor for many years. I think everybody took home a bottle of fine wine! A great time was had by all.

 

Sunday morning dawned again to sun-filled skies and hot air balloons launching near our site. The balloons are always a wonderful sight as they slowly push into the blue skies over Sonoma County.  The drivers were treated to a record 11 runs on our "mini" road course autocross site.

                                             Notes from Membership    

 

 

Summer is heating up and events happening everywhere! Seven new members joined the Redwood Region and 3 of our distinguished members are enjoying 30 or more year anniversaries in the club: Ray Fiore, Kim Fiori and Jerry Curry.

 

Anita and I just got back from the season's first Zone 7 concours and swap meet in Hayward at Parts Heaven.  A fantastic turnout including Redwood members Barbara McCrory, John Jackson, Vern Rogers, Michael Hinton, Andy Brian, Simone and Thorsten Kopitzki, Anita and myself.  Parts Heaven and Loma Prieta put on a good event.  "The Green Machine" -- our 1971 914 -- did very well along with John entering his 911 and Barbara her 944. Barbara in the gold car and John with the black; I thought I was back to the "John Player Special" days. A zone event just lets you know how lucky we are to have this many regions so close together, something for everyone.

 

Membership is very steady for the Redwood region with our numbers not varying any more than 2% at any time.  We are the "have fun region", maybe that is why we hang on to our members.

1973 Porsche 914 2.0

1973 Porsche 914 2.0     Asking Price: $14,500
Information:  I am the third owner of the car.  The first owners were teachers from Pasadena who purchased the car new in 73 in Los Angeles.  The second owner purchased it from them in 1978 and remained in Los Angeles until relocating to Mountain View in the mid 80's.  The car was actively driven at various SCCA and PCA timed rally events. The owner sold because of her arthritis and inability to enjoy the car. It was resprayed it in the early 90's. I literally had to interview and show my PCA credentials for consideration as a buyer.  The paint is in very good condition, the entire engine was removed, with the bay completely cleaned and all issues mitigated. When I purchased it, the car was located in a shrine/garage surrounded by 35 years of rare Porsche memorabilia.  It has original mini-rally badges from Vasek Polak, PCA, and SCCA events in Southern California at Riverside. In the service book, it has service stamps by Andial -- truly historic material. The car has about 9k miles a year for about 360k miles, and every service is documented with mileage logs.  For over a decade prior to my purchase it has been serviced by Heyer Performance in Mountain View; they can be called as a reference.            EJ Achtner  [email protected]  Skype:  EJ_Achtner
