President's Message

vern rogers headshot 2011
by Vern Rogers, Redwood Region President

 

Now that we are into November and the year is winding down, so are Redwood Region's events. By the time you read this, the Lunch Run to Dillon Beach and the Calendar meeting will have come and gone, and the Holiday Party will be the only remaining event on this year's full schedule. It has been quite a year, and a little rest will be most welcome. I hope to see you at the party, and I expect that your holidays are filled with fun times spent with family and friends.

 

Last month I mentioned Escape to L.A. Seven Redwood members attended along with folks from the Loma Prieta (LPR) and Golden Gate (GGR) regions, as well as a host of folks from Zone 8 and across the country. Susan and I decided to caravan down in our '05 997 with a mostly LPR group on Wednesday the 23rd. The group met in Morgan Hill early in the day for what turned out to be a seven hour drive consisting of inventive ways to stay together through the freeway congestion while traveling to our destination in Pomona. Thank goodness for radios and quick, excellent handling cars! 

 

The Sheraton Fairplex Hotel was fabulous -- very nice rooms, many of them suites with views of the beautifully landscaped grounds. The restaurant in the hotel and those in the surrounding area were very good as well. The two meals that were part of the event were also excellent, particularly the multi-station style food that was served before the drive-in movie. This was a pretty interesting event that was staged in one of the hotel parking lots with a giant movie screen faced by arched rows of cars. Audio was broadcast to the FM radios in our cars (station 106.3 I believe); it was pretty slick.

 

Just after parking for the movie, a guy backed up to me in a green '69 911. Turns out it was Magnus Walker. Those who know Magnus will remember that one of his many Porsches is a white 911 with a red hood...I guess I should have driven down in my '83 SC (white with a red hood). I asked him why he backed in (considering the movie screen would not be visible while sitting in his front seats): he replied, "for a quick get-away"!

 

In addition to the food and the drive-in movie, I had two other "Escape" favorites. One was the tour of Mulholland Drive which stitched back together many, if not all, of the original parts of the road, and ended with us heading up the coast to the Mullin Automobile Museum in Oxnard. This is an incredible collection of French cars primarily from the 1930s. Many of the cars from that era had engines making between 140 to 160 bhp, however this was from large four and five liter displacement power plants; efficiency has come a long way. Some of the museum's cars and those that participated in Escape to L.A. can be seen here.

 

My second "other" favorite was a surprise. It was the interview that Redwood member and Panorama Editor Pete Stout did with early Porsche racer Ruth Levy. Considering Ms. Levy was racing in the mid 1950's, she has got to be getting on in age however that did not affect her bright and articulate communication, nor her comedic timing. She was hilarious, witty and very entertaining and I was privileged to make her acquaintance.

 

In an effort to keep the stress low and the vacation-like feel high, Susan and I had booked the hotel through and including Sunday. We got up Monday morning after the traffic had quieted a bit, ate a leisurely breakfast, and headed to the I-210, over to the I-5, and straight back to the Bay Area. As the trip back included some pretty strong rain showers, we concluded that our Indian Summer had come to an end on a high-note while participating in Escape to L.A.

 

That's all for now...down the road,

Vern

I recently got a copy of Randy Leffingwell's new book, Porsche 911: Fifty Years. The book is gorgeous and very comprehensive covering the design and history of the 911 from the original concept through the Type 991. Drawings, sketches, and of course, fantastic photographs illustrate the interesting text. The people involved in the saga of the 911 are also well chronicled as is the 911's racing history. It will take me many weeks to completely read and enjoy this fantastic work in its entirety. I hope to do a full review of the book soon. But why wait for me; it would make a wonderful holiday gift for the Porsche enthusiast or for yourself.

Though the year's programs are winding down, there are still events to read about and some activities to enjoy in coming months. In this issue please see the articles on recent events: Escape to L.A. (Vern's column), Annual Members' Meeting (Kurt's Korner) and the season's  final Zone 7 Concours in Livermore (Steve and Barbara McCrory).

The deadline for registering for the Saturday, December 7th Holiday Party is approaching fast. Be sure to sign up -- you really do not want to miss this one!

Also, remember to vote for 2014 officers.

Looking out a little further, the first event of the year is the One-One-Fun Run on New Years Day; an event that has been enjoyed by many in past years.

Happy reading and enjoy!

Zone 7 Concours - Porsche of Livermore

by Steve McCrory, Redwood Region Member, photos by Barbara McCrory, Webmaster
 
Zone 7 Porsche Club members gathered October 6th for the last Concours event of the year, hosted by Zone 7 and Porsche of Livermore. Twenty-two entrants arrived early to put the finishing touches and final preparations on an array of outstanding examples of Porsche's automotive legacy.

   An additional 6 cars were on display, but not judged, including Diablo Region member Bill Packwood's 914-6.

Two Judging teams headed by Larry Sharp and Steve Lefczik were tasked with determining the order of final results (including a judge-off for one of the categories). Positions were sometimes determined by only a point or two.

 

Scores were tallied (someone brought Les Schreiber lunch) while entrants enjoyed a lunch provided by Porsche of Livermore that included three kinds of pasta dishes, salads, and dessert. The service bay provided eye candy on the lifts and walls.

  

Paul Czopek, Zone 7 representative and entrant with his own Cayman, conducted the award ceremony that provided a trophy for the top 3 entrants in each class. Redwood members winning their respective classes included Bob Schoenherr in UR-8 and Barbara McCrory in WS-9.

  

All-in-all this was a great ending event to wind up the Zone 7 Concours Series for 2013.  Special thanks to Paul Czopek, Zone 7 representative, Porsche of Livermore, and all the entrants and volunteers that came together for this season-ending Concours event. All proceeds of this event went to charity.

And so, we packed up our Q-Tips, yellow microfiber cloths, detail wax and trophies and headed off into the sunset thinking of Concours Prep and Judging School and the coming 2014 Zone 7 Concours Series.

Kurt's Korner: Annual Members' Meeting 

kurt fischer headshot
by Kurt Fischer, Past President, Redwood Region

 

Dateline: Sunday, October 20, 2013 (Time for the Annual Members' Meeting)

 

Forty-five Redwood Region members gathered at Chevy's in Novato for a tour on the great Marin County back roads heading towards the Union Hotel in Occidental. Other than a few very slooooooow drivers on OUR local back roads, we arrived safe and sound after a 55-mile run.

Kurt's Pre-Drive Briefing 

 

The Annual Meeting was an introduction to the members of the officer candidates for 2014. Our Bylaws call for an open meeting to hear from candidates for Redwood Region's 2014 board of directors, and hear we did!

 

The private room at the Union Hotel was abuzz with conversations from every table...the din was actually a low roar! The Union Hotel's helpful and attentive staff served a yummy lunch; their food and service is truly outstanding!

 

After lunch the first candidate up to speak was our current President, Vern Rogers, who announced that he was running for President in 2014; this expected proclamation garnered much applause from the crowd. Vern has done an excellent job keeping this unruly group focused and has made great efforts trying to please everybody...as I well know, that oftentimes is NOT an easy task!

 

Next up to speak was Mike Hinton, running as a candidate for Vice President; to say the least, Mike is up to the position's roles and responsibilities. In this Region, the VP has many vital tasks and is key member of the board.

 

Studying the Menu at the Union Hotel 

Craig Steele, running as a candidate for Secretary, was out of town at an important family function and sent a message that he was willing and able to serve as Secretary for another year. The Secretary's role is primarily the thankless task of keeping precise notes of all that happens at each of Redwood Region's board meetings...well done Craig!

 

Finally Jerry Gladstone, who is running for another term as Treasurer, got his two cents in (pun intended!) regarding Redwood Region's financial health and how he will continue to keep the books straight and true during 2014.

 

With the conclusion of the official meeting, we departed the town of Occidental and returned back to our respective homes or off to roads and parts unknown; another successful meeting was in the can.

 

By now you should have all received via e-mail the special election announcement with the link to our online voting procedure. Voting is allowed through November 28: if you have not yet voted, please do so before then!

 

Over and out,

Kurt

Mendocino Tour - November 2013

by Steve McCrory, Redwood Region Member, photos by Barbara McCrory, Redwood Region Webmaster

A long standing tradition for the Sacramento Valley Region (SVR) is the annual Mendocino Tour, led by Rik Larson it is three days and two nights of great scenery, challenging roads, and renewed friendships with fellow Porsche enthusiasts (36 cars and 72 people attended). The tour started at Niello Porsche in Rocklin, stopped by Winters to gather the rest of the SVR members and headed over to Geyserville via Highway 128.  
 
Winters Rotary Plaza
 
Ray Fiore and Victoria Pouches led the Redwood Region group starting in Geyserville. With SVR following, we drove up Highway 101 through Cloverdale, back to Highway 128 through Boonville for lunch and wine tasting at the Handley Cellars organic winery. located in the beautiful Anderson Valley.  

 

Some people stopped in Boonville to get a growler (no, "growlers" are not a canine adoption agency, but a chance to sample local beers in larger containers). Anderson Valley Brewing Company has been Bahl Hornin' (good drinking) since 1987. The growler was sighted again along with bottles of wine at the social hour Friday night in the Larson room. Visit the brewing company website for an explanation of the local language, Boontling.

 

Saturday's choices included a round of miniature golf, kite flying on the Mendocino headlands, shopping, or just relaxing and listening to the sound of the ocean waves from the balcony of the hotel. Winds on Saturday were quite strong as evidenced by the kites and hats that went flying out of control.

   Some found it easier to stay in the car with the kite.


        Despite best efforts sometimes the kite escaped.
                    
Who knew kites came with wind speed warnings

 

Prizes were awarded at the Saturday night social for both minature golf and kite flying. Barbara McCrory won the prize for smallest kite and Victoria Pouches won the perpetual "putter" award for her score of 99.

   

Ray also organized the Saturday night dinner at Silver's at the Wharf in Noyo Harbor along with a fine selection of wine to complement dinner - Husch Vineyards Chardonnay or Barra of Mendocino Pinot Noir was served.

Sunday found some sleeping in or staying another day -- others got up early enough to go to the Fort Bragg Grange where its historical pancake breakfast is served the first Sunday of every month...can't wait until next year!

Redwood History: Porsche 911 Scores Upset Win at Tuner Car Meet

by Barbara McCrory, Webmaster, Redwood Region  

1967 911 scores first in Euro class, Honda Civic scores first in Honda class photo by Mike McCrory

Recently, the Grease Monkey Krew and Alvarez Car Wash in Ukiah teamed up to host their first car show. Just
like a Concours, registration started way too early in the morning -- 8:00 am. Unlike a Concours, there was a brief inspection of all the cars that entered the car show -- no stock cars need apply!

 

Check out the size of the trophies -- you would need a taller trophy case for these! You may have seen these cars in action if you have been to a Redwood Autocross in the past.

Membership Report

bob schoenherr headshot 2011
by Bob Schoenherr, Redwood Region Membership Director

Membership is strong with five new members and four transfers in this month. Members John Bryne and Jose Garcia have 38 years of membership under their belts; Charles Wailes and Richard Monsanto have 31 and 30 years of membership respectively. I remember John at many autocrosses with his 911 RS -- that was one fast AX car. I wonder what happened to that car, John?!?!?   

 

The month of October was filled with fun events for any Porsche lover. Anita and I finished our Zone 7 concours series participation in Livermore. The "Green Machine" finished the series with a perfect record for the year. We had a blast at the Autocross Enduro at Santa Rosa Airport and even took in a wine tour up in our neck of the woods.  


Our big surprise happened in Santa Fe, NM. I needed to use some vacation time, we wanted to see my parents, go to the International Balloon Fiesta, and spend a couple days in Santa Fe. We had a great time in New Mexico without knowing that the 356 West Coast Holiday was going on in Santa Fe. Much to our delight as we left Albuquerque and headed towards Santa Fe we saw a few 4-wheel bathtubs making their way to Santa Fe. We first thought we must have just got lucky, but once we entered the Santa Fe Plaza there were over 100 356s. WOW!!! Then we found out it was the 356 West Coast Holiday. Great photos of the event are at Chasing Santa Fe Blogspot. My Photos can be seen on my Flickr page. 


We saw Porsche 356s from 1949 to 1965 -- all the way from full restoration beauties to survivors. It was great to share this with my sister and her husband. Anita and I picked out the 356 we would want to cruise the Redwood Region. Bummer, it is still but a dream! Moral of the story: if you are leaving our local area, always check to see what events the other PCA regions or the various Porsche registries have scheduled. You just may get lucky like we did!!!


As always, please 
feel free to email me at b_schoenherr@yahoo.com or call me at 707.995.5082 with any questions.

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  eachtner@gmail.com    Skype:  EJ_Achtner

Wheels are in exceptional shape and except for one small rock ding on one spoke they are "as new". Low miles still have original factory weights. For someone wishing to mount in a 986 I also have 24mm spacers and extended wheel bolts (for rear wheels) for that application. All for $800 OBO.
