Well done “Team” Schuessler! 

It is with great pride that we acknowledge 

and congratulate the Schuessler family as 

the recipient of the 2012 PCA “Family of 

the Year Award” presented at this year’s 

PCA Parade in Utah. 

Bob and his family have worked tirelessly 

over the last several years devoting their 

time and energy toward making the PCA- 

OCR Club one of the best in the country. 

This Award is truly deserved, and we are 

honored to have Bob, Lisa, and the entire 

Schuessler family as part of our OCR 

family. 

Next time you see a member of the 

Schuessler family at our OCR events, most 

likely Auto Cross, where the whole family 

pitches in, please be sure to congratulate 

them on this outstanding achievement!

President’s Message 

by Gordon Williams 

Greetings and salutations to all of our 

members and associates, 

What a great August! We are slowly 

but surely moving into the time of the 

year that owning a Porsche in Southern 

California is all about, Fall! With Fall 

comes Oktoberfest, Julian apple season 

and a second annual Idyllwild picnic. 

We are zeroing in on the dates and times 

so check the calendar for the schedules. 

I think that one of my favorite annual 

drives is the Julian run, great weather, 

great pies and great people. And so far, 

since I’ve been involved, there is always 

one person who throws themselves 

“on the grenade” where the CHP is 

concerned, to clear the way for the 

group. Buzzy Klevens (RIP), Greg Lush 

and myself have all experienced that 

pain. Hopefully this year there will be 

no such casualties. 

I am writing this article in advance 

of our Hearts and Garages Tour that is 

scheduled for 8-25, and I know that this 

is one of the most well attended and 

anticipated events of the year. All of the 

proceeds go to our charity, the Semper 

Fi Fund. Being a former Marine myself, 

I’m really excited about the prospect of 

increasing our club participation with 

this charity. At present we have over 30 

cars attending. 

Congratulations to Monica Asbury 

for her appointment to club secretary to 

take the reins from Bonnie Delgado. She 

does a great job in everything she does 

and has done for OCR. Also, a big thanks 

goes to Bonnie for her past service. 

That’s it for this month, drive safely 

and keep it between the lines! Remember 

to say thank you to one of our 

volunteers and I hope everyone has 

a great September! 

See you on the road, Gordo

Editor’s Notes 

Story by Garey Cooper 

Garey and the bear in Alaska 

We’ve rounded the corner on the middle 

of the year and now we accelerate to the 

closing months. Up in the OCR Tower, 

the club mandarins, deep in thought, have 

barely time to contemplate lesser matters. 

Months may come and months may go 

but the club travels on to adventure and 

speed, polish and power come what the 

fugit of tempus may mean. 

Moving around 

This year, on the longest day of the year, I 

was in Alaska. Fairbanks to be exact. This 

longest day in summer means a lot more 

to Alaskans than it does to Californians. 

In fact, it is an actual celebration to 

our non-contiguous fellow Americans. 

There was a midnight baseball game on 

the potential agenda for instance. I was 

also told that in Alaska when the summer 

rolls around (all four to six weeks of it) 

it is quite common to burn the candle at 

both ends. They’d burn it in the middle 

if they could, I was told. Sick days are 

burned more commonly and leave early 

days come more frequently amongst the 

working class in the northern climes. So, 

when making business calls one never 

knows if the intended victim will be in 

or out (side). 

Moving around (still) 

Mrs. Cooper and I have removed the 

domicile to northern San Diego. An area 

called “Santaluz”, or “Sacred Light”. It 

should be called Santa Lose Your Savings 

as my new name at home is, “Garey - you 

don’t know the price of furniture anymore 

if you EVER did - Cooper”. I’m surprised 

I haven’t been directed to purchase socks 

to match the new curtains for instance, as 

it seems everything else does. When you 

move after being in one house for nearly 

20 years the accumulation of what must 

be kept is ahem, large. I never realized 

myself for the pack rat that I am until I 

had to move all of that “stuff”. And that 

of course includes car “stuff” and lots of 

“stuff” from the OCR. But as humans, 

I guess what is essential as opposed to 

frivolous, memorable or useful only 

occasionally boils down to whether or 

not you want to move it when the time 

comes. It seems to me the heavier or 

bulkier it is the less likely it is deemed 

essential. So you shed a cornucopia of

Automotive Archeology 

Peeling Back the Layers of an Old 911’s Past 

Part One 

Story by Paul Kramer 

Nearly three years ago, a 1967 911 vintage 

racecar showed up at the AutoKennel. The 

owner, Len Scott, asked us to help him 

sell his VARA prepared Porsche. As he 

unloaded the car from the flatbed, his wife 

(as if she had done this hundreds of times 

before) whipped out the Quick-Detail and 

a microfiber rag and started detailing the 

car. I was surprised at her actions, as no 

one had ever done this before, especially 

on a racecar. Most racecars that I get to 

sell look as if they just came off the trailer 

from the last event. I usually spend hours 

scrubbing the gumball marks off of the 

body from errant flying race rubber. On 

the other hand, this car looked as if it 

had just returned from the PCA concours 

circuit. My dad and I were perplexed by 

the immaculate condition. It turned out 

that the car had been recently restored. 

When Len called me a month earlier, 

he neglected to tell me that his Porsche 

was a factory 911 S. In his typical 

humble manner, he said he had an older 

Porsche racecar that he was thinking 

about selling. I soon came to find out 

that he took a beautiful 1967 Porsche 

911 S and turned it into a championship 

winning VARA racecar. Then again, 

these cars weren’t as collectible nearly 20 

years ago as they are today. That would 

be sacrilege today! 

Whenever someone wants to sell his 

Porsche, one of the first questions I ask is 

“why?” Unlike with other cars out there, 

a unique bond usually exists between a 

Porsche and its owner. In many cases, 

they don’t just become another member 

of the family but literally an extension of 

the owner. It is like one’s pinky toe … 

yes, you can survive without it but life 

is much better with it. Len has a very 

unique way of understating everything. 

He simply said that he doesn’t drive it 

anymore. It took nearly a dozen phone 

conversations to get just a small part of 

the story. Finally, with the help of John 

Dilger, I found an older Early Esses 

article about the car. 

It turns out that in the mid 90s Len 

and his son got bit by the racing bug 

and wanted to race vintage Porsches 

together. They each found one, prepared 

it for racing and had nearly a decade of 

fun racing together. By the mid 2000s, 

Len’s son got busy with life and Len 

had some health challenges. While he 

was recovering, he took a couple years 

off from racing and had Galen Bieker of 

Werks II do a freshening of the car. This 

included a fresh paint job in its original 

factory blood orange. Alan Faragallah 

(well respected engine builder at Aase 

Motors) did a top end rebuild to the 

engine at this time. Finally, in July 

2007, Len entered one of his first events 

after the restoration work at California 

Speedway. Before one of the sessions, 

the hood pins were left undone and the 

hood flipped open in the pit lane. He 

was pitted just in front of the late Patrick 

Paternie who told me he was startled to 

see an orange 911 hood come undone. 

That ended not only Len’s race weekend 

but also his racing career. Since his son 

was no longer racing with him, his heart 

just wasn’t in it anymore. The car went 

back to the paint booth and then to his 

garage. After two years of collecting 

dust and the occasional starting of the 

engine, he picked up the phone and gave 

me a call. 

Little did I know that Len’s phone 

call was really a passing of the baton. 

He was ending a journey and I was 

beginning my Zuffenhausen vision 

quest. As I began to familiarize myself 

with this early S, I had countless phone 

conversations with Len. We spent nearly 

a year trying to sell his car, but we soon 

found that his car was too overbuilt for 

HMSA or HSR events and would require 

a significant amount of cost to “detune” 

it back to a 2-liter challenge car. Or, it 

Bob Bondurant driving the car 

was simply too pretty and valuable to 

continue racing at local VARA events. 

During this sale process, Len and I 

discussed the idea of turning the car back 

to a street car/R Gruppe type car, but he 

just wasn’t up to the process. He wanted 

to simply move on. So, my dad (Ed) and 

I decided to make an offer to buy the 

car from Len. I told Len that we were 

interested in buying the car depending on 

how many original parts he had and what 

Tony and Marco Gerace of TLG Auto 

thought it would take to accomplish our 

goal. 

In October of last year, Tony and 

I met Len at his two-car tandem garage 

which is wedged into a 10 degree sloped 

lot in the historical section of Silver 

Lake, California. When we walked into 

the garage, we were both stunned at the 

volume of parts carefully spread out on 

the garage floor. It looked like you could 

build an entire car. From original muffler 

to the correct VIN stamped doors, hood, 

and deck lid, 95% of all the original ’67 

S parts were there… amazing! And, he 

had done a superb job of storing them. 

There was no rust or damage of any kind. 

I knew at that moment I was embarking 

on my first Early S journey. I was excited 

and very nervous. Tony looked around 

the car for over an hour. He crawled 

underneath the front and rear and fired up 

the engine. His deadpan face gave me no 

clues as to what he thought. He noticed 

a “Werks II” sticker on the rear quarter 

window and asked Len if Galen built the 

car. He nodded. Tony cracked his first 

smile of approval. Finally, Tony and 

I went outside the garage to discuss the 

possibility of returning the car back to 

its original street condition. Tony stated 

simply, “that’s a nice f*$k’n car.” 

The following week, we came back 

with a cashiers check, van, pickup truck 

and enclosed trailer. During the next few

ENGINE INSTALLATION - Part 4 of 4 

Rice’s Ramblings: 

Story by Lee Rice 

The following is a guide for general 

information continuing on from last 

months engine overhaul article, we start 

with #6: 

6. Typical 3.6 964-993 ENGINE 

INSTALLATION in a early 911; 

The engine to transaxle bolt pattern 

is the same for all 911s, 1965 thru 999. 

But the transaxle bell housing lengths and 

transaxle lengths and hole to hole bolt 

pattern distances are different from 1978 

on. The longer bell housing (1978- turbo, 

& 1987 G-50 Carrera, and all 964 C2/4, 

993 Carrera & 993tt (turbo) are made 

for their longer transaxles, Dual Mass 

Flywheels, & longer clutches. If you 

are going to put a 3.6 964 Carrera or C2 

turbo engine in an early 911, the simplest 

method is to use a 915 transaxle and clutch 

unit. This works because the earlier 911s 

have a 915 transaxle in a chassis light 

enough that the stronger engine should 

not place undue wear on the transaxle 

too soon. There are plenty of aftermarket 

upgrades for the 915 available. I like the 

225 mm S.M.F. (Single Mass Flywheel). 

The 964-993 engines need a flat, 9-bolt 

flywheel with the little locating pin 

(tension sleeve). The outer edge (flange) 

of the flat flywheel will need to have the 

DME trigger notches precisely machined 

into the outer flange. These are the sensing 

triggers for the magnetic puck ups bolted 

on the engine. A competent Porsche shop 

can have this done. 

I suggest a 225 mm sport clutch with 

the 4-spring disc. This can handle most 

power outputs up to an upgraded 3.4 or 

larger turbo engine. The earlier (pre-1984) 

915 bell housing will need to have a cut out 

for the crank trigger sensors. If you have a 

1984 (3.2 Carrera with DME) 915 you are 

OK. If you are thinking of upgrading to a 

G-50 transaxle in a pre 1987 911 chassis, 

that will require extensive and expensive 

chassis fabrication and machine work 

done. All 1978 and later 930 Turbo and 

Carrera G-50 transaxles have a LBH 

(Long Bell Housings) for their taller 

clutches, flywheels, and longer transaxle 

casing. The later 993 G-50 transaxle is 

even longer for the 6-speed transaxle. 

To fit these transaxles into earlier 911s 

you can either have extensive chassis 

modifications done for it to fit, or have 

the transaxle simply modified to a 

“SBH” (Short Bell Housing). The C-2/4 

and 993 engines are also longer, as the 

crankshaft pulley system is longer for its 

3-belt pulley system. The 1992 C-2 turbo 

3.3L has two pulleys: one V-belt and one 

wide serpentine belt. Thus the engine 

mount console is longer and there is less 

room to fit the engine/transaxle in the 

chassis/body. Even with a SBH G-50, a 

964 type engine will need a pry bar to get 

the mounting bolts installed. 

I rebuilt an early 911 with a C-2 

Engine and a LBH 930 transaxle and it 

took a good imagination to squeeze it all 

in. But it will fit! 

HEATING AIR 

The air-cooled 911 engines use air tubes 

to supply cool fan air to be warmed 

over the exhaust H.H.Ex. (Header Heat 

Exchangers). These air tubes may need to 

be modified or fabricationed if you do not 

want the big (ugly) electric blower fan 

mounted on your 3.6 engine. I used the 

air tubes from the 1992 C-2 turbo (3.3L 

only) and had to form fit (fabricate) sheet 

metal to make them fit into the existing 

sheet metal. I then used orange silicone 

wire reinforced hoses and fabricated 

stock 90º ducts onto the heat exchangers 

to fit to the hoses. It looks neat, it’s easy 

to remove/install and blows plenty of air 

- very well. 

SHEET METAL 

That so called “tin’ around the air-cooled 

911 engines is essential for enough air to 

flow easily into the cooling fan. I have 

seen standard 964 sheet metal used for a 

early 911 and it seems to work ok, but the 

fit is tight and it’s a bit awkward to work 

on the engine later. 

I use older 1984 Carrera side sheet 

metal and fabricate the 964 rear sheet 

metal and the front 2-pieces of sheet metal. 

The 964 rear sheet metal need the raised 

hump cut down and welded/riveted flat. 

Then this makes an excellent heat barrier 

from the CAT 9(s) and muffler. This 

heat can damage the rear body seal to 

the engine, blister paint and can damage 

the ignition distributor. The front sheet 

metal takes some work to make fit and 

cover the engine well enough to get all 

the cooling air through the engine not 

around it. I had to fabricate some small 

sheet metal pieces to fill open areas but I 

just used local hardware store mild steel 

sheet metal. I formed, cut, and riveted a 

couple of pieces to fit the open areas then 

powder coated all the sheet metal a light 

gray, my personal preference. 

SOUND PADDING 

Before installing any engine I remove old 

or damaged rubberized insulation from 

under the engine compartment roof area. 

It dries out over time and foam dust and 

crud will fall into your engine. I remove 

and clean the interior body and paint it to 

match the body color. I do not use sound 

padding as, in my opinion, it fails too 

soon. Even with careful cleaning, sizing, 

cutting out the new padding, careful 

gluing the new padding in and … it never 

lasts. In a turbo engine, the heat dries it 

out even quicker, it falls off and makes a 

nasty mess-again. 

ROOM TO WORK 

Working on the 930 turbo C.O. (Fuel 

rich/lean adjustment). Before installing 

a turbo engine, the roof of the engine 

compartment needs to be “moved” 

upward. Especially if you are installing an 

up graded turbo engine with a larger size 

Power Flow air filtration unit. The taller 

air box will not let you get your hand onto

Great Cars Have Terrific Sounds 

Story by Rob Alen 

Great cars have terrific sounds. The 

loping rumble of a built-out small-block 

American V-8. The dental drill whine 

of a Formula One car. The burble of a 

Ferrari V-12 at idle. 

With occasional trips to Santa 

Barbara on the odometer, it rarely goes 

north beyond Newport Beach, no further 

south than San Juan Capistrano or east of 

the 405. So a description of its driving 

life is relatively short…but each time it 

is on the road, the sound is remindful of 

Porsche’s racing history. 

Good fortune has let me see a lot of 

Porsches race; along with the opportunity 

to photograph them, and so I thought 

sharing some racing photos might be of 

interest to Pandemonium readers. 

1983 911SC 

My 1983 911SC has layers of engine 

sound: low end bass notes, meshing of 

many parts moving at mid-range, and a 

little electric spin as revs go up before 

a shift. 

Another Rob Alen shot 

Rob also dabbles in phtography and this fabulous shot is from our 

2012 concours . You will see more of his photos in future issues 

Built in April 1983, and originally 

bought by a Los Angeles real estate 

developer; it is a California-car picked 

up as a European delivery which 

accounts for the Moss Green color, not 

standard for the US at the time. The car 

moved into the hands of an artist in Alta 

Loma. I bought it as the artist relocated 

to Minneapolis. It was the only Porsche 

I looked at and is what I wanted: a car

Fun Run Tour II 

Story by Julie Husting 

Ready to go at Citrus Café 

I promised my co-pilot, Jody Nakashima, 

a fun run through beautiful scenery in a 

caravan with lots of other Porsches. It 

turns out we went on quite an adventure 

instead. Our day started out great. We 

gathered together with the other club 

members at the cute Citrus Cafe and had 

a yummy cookie (ok, ok so I went back 

and got a second one -- who’s counting?) 

They had Danishes and coffee for us, too. 

I looked around and only recognized one 

other club member. It was nice to see so 

many different members turn out for this 

event. The place was packed. We made 

a couple of new friends as we waited for 

Armand’s driver’s meeting. He promised 

a “celebrity” would be waiting for us at 

the end. Hmm, who could that be? 

Then all 30 Porsches left the Cafe and 

made the first turn . . . and even the 

second. After that, we made another turn 

but I’m afraid it wasn’t the RIGHT turn. 

Just as we followed the Porsches in front 

of us right onto the toll road my navigator 

pipes up with “Uh, you just went on the 

toll road -- aren’t we supposed to stay 

on Jamboree?” I then had to explain her 

duties as co-pilot. She’s supposed to tell 

me these things BEFORE we make the 

turns. Well, we Porsche owners are a 

charitable group and I suppose we just 

wanted to give back to our community 

before heading out on our drive. We each 

shelled out $1.50 to get off the toll road 

after going perhaps a half a mile. Why do 

they make those toll machines so high up 

anyway? Is it their way of getting revenge 

on people that own cool cars? Needless to 

say, the toll booth managed to space out a 

LOT of Porsches. I know I had to get out 

of the car to reach the dollar slot and I’m 

sure that slowed down the cars behind 

me, too, not to mention the ones in front. 

Those that had the FastTrak zipped on by 

and stayed in the caravan. 

Fortunately, my co-pilot was familiar with 

the area and got us back on Jamboree. I 

was looking for Chapman, which never 

came. Once again Jody knew the area 

and told me to turn on Santiago Canyon, 

which was the right way. Whew! We then 

caught up with two other Porsches and 

another one caught up with us. We were 

going along in our mini caravan when 

Jody called out, “Turn there.” I frantically 

honked my horn at the two Porsches that 

missed the turn and hoped that they would 

realize they needed to turn around. 

We drove down Silverado Canyon Road 

where more adventures awaited us. First, 

we were chastised by a neighbor who 

stood in front of his house pointing to his 

watch and waving his finger at us. “What 

is he trying to tell us?” I asked Jody. “I 

think he’s saying we’re late.” Huh? Then 

it starts to drizzle. You know the kind - just 

Ed McRea 

explaining 

the features 

of the New 

Boxster 

Carrera GT waiting with rest of caravan overlooking Newport Coast 

Rain greeted us at Silverado Canyon 

enough to make the drops stick to the car. 

No big deal, right? As these little drops of 

water are sticking to my car, the car ahead 

of us decides to pull into a lot on the side 

of the road . . . a DIRT lot. That’s right. 

A giant cloud of dirt envelopes my entire 

car. And you KNOW how much dirt likes 

to stick to little droplets of water. 

Soon we saw about a half dozen 

Porsches coming the opposite way. Aha! 

That’s why he thinks we’re late. Soon 

another one comes, then another and yet 

another. We had fun honking at them all. 

Jody suggested we turn around and join 

them but I didn’t want to miss a minute

Book Review: 

LIFE IS A HIGHWAY 

A Century of Great Automotive Writing, Edited by Darwin Holmstrom and 

Melinda Keefe, published by Motorbooks, Minneapolis, MN . 

Review by Bruce Herrington 

Southern Californians are deprived of 

the opportunity to be housebound on 

dreary winter days, a condition often 

enjoyed by New Englanders. But if one 

does ever find oneself feeling confinedto-quarters, 

this book is a great way to 

relieve the boredom. It is an anthology 

of 43 stories in 5 Chapters covering, “The 

Thrills and Spills of Car Ownership” 

to “Law Makers, Law Enforcers and 

Safety ... or Lack Thereof”. Articles are 

sourced from all the regular magazines 

including – Automobile, Motor Trend, 

Car and Driver, Road & Track, Popular 

Mechanics, Popular Science Monthly 

and MoToR, etc. There is even an article 

taken from autoextremeist.com. 

The authors represent a whose-who 

of automotive journalism from William 

F. Nolan through Ted West and Zora 

Arkus-Dontov. Patrick Bedard, 

Peter M. De Lorenzo, Brock Yeats, 

Ken Purdy, David E Davis Jr., Tom 

McCahill, Peter Egan (of course), 

even Alfred P. Sloan Jr, Jay Leno and 

L.J.K.Setright are included. The two 

oldest articles are by Anonymous, 

going back to 1895 (from The 

Horseless Age) and 1902 (from 

Popular Mechanics). Glaringly 

absent, to this reviewer, is any passage 

by Denise McCluggage, arguably the 

Doyen of woman motorsports writers, 

having helped found Competition Press 

(now AutoWeek) and more significantly, 

driven in many of the races she wrote 

about in the New York Herald Tribune 

during the early ‘50s, 

Though the names of the authors 

in LIFE IS A HIGHWAY are familiar, 

the articles seem refreshingly new, and 

cover a wide range of topics. The focus 

is on ‘popular’ (as distinctive from 

technical) articles. Thus Karl Ludvigsen 

is left out of the author’s roster but Jay

Poker Ralley: Sunshine, Scenic Route, Odds & 

Evens, and a Cool Charity Donation 

Story by Der Rallymeister 

Registration: Judy Lech and Gloria Moore 

Sunday, July 29, dawned cool and 

overcast at the start of the PCA/OCR 

Summer Poker Rally. The participants, 

occupying 25 cars, gathered at the 

Orange County Harbor Courthouse in 

the airport area of Newport Beach. At 

Registration, Gloria Moore checked in 

the competitors and gave each car their 

numbered Window Plaque, a copy of 

the Route Instructions and two poker 

cards as their hole cards. The neat rallystyle 

numbered window plaques were 

designed and prepared by long-time 

member Kevin Van Fleet. “Thank you, 

Kevin.” 

The event was structured as a 

simple gimmick (no traps) rally that 

would lead the participants in a big loop 

around Orange County. Their task was 

to follow the route instructions, find the 

Checkpoints (CPs) and draw a poker 

card at each CP to build their “winning 

five-card stud poker hand.” 

Following a brief Drivers’ Meeting 

- wherein obscure rally terms like 

SOL, HTS, SA, dip, careful, etc., were 

explained by Der Rallymeister - the 

participants, in their cars, lined up in 

two rows; ODDs and EVENs. The 

Route Instructions at several points 

differentiated between ODD and EVEN 

instructions. This would require each 

team to recall whether they were, in 

fact, ODD or just EVEN. 

About 9:20 AM the first car in each 

row began, the ODDs turning left out of 

the parking lot and the EVENs turning 

right. The cars departed 

with approximately 

30-second separations. 

Because the event did 

not contain a timing 

element, the cars 

tended to maintain this 

separation ... more or 

less. The instructions 

looped them south into 

Costa Mesa and then 

back to the Start location 

where they found 

Checkpoint #1, properly 

manned by Ron and 

Staci Ketelhut and Dan 

and Anita Pittman. 

Next they headed 

east and south past UCI, 

looped around the Turtle 

Rock neighborhood, headed up through 

the Irvine Coast area, then down to Coast 

Highway and south towards Laguna 

Beach. Just beyond Emerald Bay, and 

before they reached the Laguna Main 

Beach traffic jam, they went uphill to 

High and Hillcrest Streets, then upsidownsey, 

southerly and, finally really 

down to Laguna Canyon (a not so subtle 

brake test). Once in the canyon, they 

headed inland to Aliso Viejo. In this 

stretch they dealt with an instructional 

error (Alicia/Aliso), but pressed on to 

Alicia Parkway for a leisurely drive to 

the north end of Mission Viejo. This left 

some asking themselves, “Where is CP 

#2? Did we miss it?” 

Next they dropped off the edge of 

suburbia down into Trabuco Canyon/ 

The ODD line ready for the START 

O’Neal Park. [Editorial Note: After 

all these years, driving twisty Trabuco 

Canyon under the spreading oaks is still 

a treat.] They exited Trabuco Canyon 

at Cook’s Corner, turned right onto 

Santiago Canyon and promptly ran 

into CP #2, ably manned by Jerry and 

Sheila Ainsworth and Arnie and Carolyn 

Shusterman. 

The EVEN line sort of readying for the START. “Nancy (Troast) 

checking out CL’s ???” 

From here they proceeded northerly 

on Santiago Canyon to Jamboree, to 

Tustin Ranch and onto Walnut. They 

were directed off Walnut onto a “loopyloo” 

and encountered CP #3, watched 

over by Bruce and Eleanor Herrington 

and Steve and Sandy Klein. [Both 

of these couples are new members of 

Orange Coast and long-time members of 

the Riverside region. We welcome their 

participation and willingness to drive in 

from the “other side of the hill.”]

Autocross Corner: 

Our Own Independence Day Celebration 

Story by Armand Gastelo 

day it was comfortable. Surprisingly, 

this event did not experience any “water 

cooled” Porsche problems as we had 

seen in the past. But, that is not to say 

that we did not experience “hot” driving 

on the long and fast track. 

The day started as usual with Fast 

Freddy bringing us an adequate supply 

of fuel. (Coffee and donuts) After 

everyone signed in, it was time for the 

track walk. This is a great opportunity 

to get the “inside scoop” from Steve 

Abbott. We should have Don Costello, 

Patriotic to the core! Photo by: Tiffany Tudyk 

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn’s 

early light, all of the autocross workers 

busy setting up the track? Those are the 

words that came to mind during July’s 

early morning autocross day. July 4th 

was Independence Day in America. July 

22, 2012 was our club’s Independence 

Day to drive as fast as we could, have as 

much fun as we could and to share it with 

all of our friends. It was a day filled with 

Red, White and Blue…Porsches. 

My own personal racer is white 

with Martini Racing livery, which just 

happens to be red, white and blue. Other 

patriotic Porsches at the event that I 

found included James Buck’s red and 

white Porsche, and Craig Adams’ blue 

996 along with a handful of others. 

July 22, 2012, marked the sixth 

event of the 2012 Walter’s Porsche PCA- 

OCR Auto-X Championship Series at 

the El Toro Fields. Fairview Mortgage 

Capital was the day’s event sponsor with 

Steve Eguina generously offering great 

mortgage finance deals. 

Walter’s Porsche and Ed McRae 

never fail to support our autocross series 

or surprise us. At this event, Ed brought 

out the new Boxster for everyone to see. 

He promised to bring a demo car next 

time for everyone to drive on the track. 

I’m sure there will be a long line for that 

one.

side, but with a cool breeze blowing all

Automotive Archeology: (Continued from page 6) 

Blood Orange Hot Rod 911 

hours, we loaded the car with all the parts 

and moved the project to TLG’s shop in 

North Hollywood. I really had no idea 

of what it was going to take to see this 

endeavor completed. Initially, my dad 

and I discussed the idea of simply doing 

the minimum and make it more of a 

hotrod 911. We were going to cut out 

the door bars, leave the rest of the roll 

cage and put the steel doors on (leaving 

the rest of the fiberglass). Marco looked 

over the original parts and in one word 

convinced us otherwise. He said, “NO”. 

I must admit, he was absolutely right. Of 

course our budget began to balloon, but 

this car deserved more. 

John Esposito, one of SoCal’s top 

paint guys, wandered across the alley 

to take a look at the project. He said 

that everything looked very straight and 

should be no problem. Well, John is a 

perfectionist and he ended up stripping 

the car down to the metal to do it right. 

Doing this confirmed what Len told us 

from the beginning. Even though he 

raced the car for 10 years, he never had 

an incident. The car ended up being very 

straight with no repairs, rust or damage of 

any kind. This helped when John fitted 

all the original steel parts back on the car. 

They all ended up fitting perfectly. 

The extended time the car was 

at paint and TLG gave me plenty of 

opportunity to gather missing parts and 

history. Eric Linden was invaluable 

here. He answered the countless dumb 

questions I had and helped me source 

some great parts. The goal was to avoid 

reproduction parts as much as possible 

Vara Champion 

unless there was no other option and 

the quality was equal or better than 

original. There were several dilemmas 

we encountered during this process. For 

instance, we discovered that this S was 

a very late 1967 production (June 9th, 

1967). As a result, the car was fitted 

with ’68 front fenders. We found photos 

of the car dating back to 1969 and sure 

enough, it had sugar scoop headlights and 

side reflectors. The side reflectors had 

been removed when it was converted to 

a racecar, but it still had its original U.S. 

’68 headlights in remarkable unrestored 

condition. Personally, I’m not a fan of 

these headlights and I think they really 

detract from what the car is. So, we 

carefully packed them up and found a 

very nice set of unrestored ’67 headlights 

from a fellow Early S member. Also, the 

original 4.5x15 Fuchs were long gone 

(the owner before Len traded them for 

some 7s in the early 90s). Len had been 

racing the car on 7x15s wrapped in 205 

and 225 Hoosier’s. The front brakes 

had been upgraded to ’73 S 

brakes and 4.5s just wouldn’t 

fit. It was then that I noticed 

that the rear fenders had an 

ever so slight flare to them. 

Len said that he bought the 

car that way. It turns out 

that they were flared at the 

Porsche dealership before 

the first “titled” owner ever 

took delivery. We finally 

settled on a set of flat 6x15 

wheels, which looked similar 

to what was on the car when 

Bob Bondurant drove it. 

Here is where the history of this car 

began to come into focus. Len told me 

from the beginning that a guy by the name 

of Joe Vittone was the original owner and 

was a big VW parts guy. It turns out that 

Joe Vittone started EMPI (Engineered 

Motor Products, Inc.) because he was 

frustrated that VW just threw away so 

many used parts. I did notice a discrete 

metal EMPI badge on the far right side 

of the dash. Joe owned one of the first 

VW dealerships in Southern California. 

It was called Economotors and was in 

Riverside, California. Joe chose that 

location because he was a race junky and 

it was close to Riverside Raceway. By 

the mid-60s, Joe had secured a Porsche 

franchise and had started selling Porsches 

out of his Economotors dealership. 

Meanwhile, the EMPI business was 

exploding and Economotors was selling 

“EMPI”-prepared VWs new from his 

dealership with warranties, as well as 

through other franchises.

Life is a Highway: (Continued from page 14) 

Leno is included. There is some fiction 

- the very first article being an excerpt 

from “Christine” by Stephen King 

(which describes a maniacal Chevy out 

to destroy (kill) her mechanic) – but 

the vast majority of the articles are 

factual/first-person write-ups. The very 

wide range of subjects and viewpoints 

guarantee that every reader will find at 

least one fascinating piece. 

Shocking to the mind of one current 

in the drivel of modern media and the 

intransigence of current political parties, 

are the statements from the introduction 

to MoToR Magazine’s 1941 Auto Show 

issue: “Every real American will be glad 

to make material and spiritual sacrifices 

for his country’s good ... Readiness to 

yield all else, if need be, to preserve the 

United States as a land of opportunity, 

is merely common sense ...We fight first 

for what we cherish and then for what we 

want.” 

An interesting allegorical article 

from a 1986 Road & Track, preciesently 

intimates that the ‘Motor City’ auto 

industry is doomed to collapse in 20 years! 

And a piece from Popular Mechanics of 

1903 projects (very correctly), that in 

less than 50 years, the automobile would 

evolve from a toy for the rich into a 

tool for the poor, just as the bicycle had 

evolved at the turn of the century (19th to 

20th) to become common as a means of 

transportation for workers. 

As for the advance of modern 

technology, there is a report about a 

Beardsly Electric which averaged over 

106 miles per charge, on several 1000+ 

mile runs, in 1915! An eye-opening 

1928 description of the design and 

development of the replacement for the 

Model T Ford, seems ultra-modern in 

the design considerations and testing 

described, and the in-house development 

of new manufacturing techniques and 

equipment, makes ol’ Henry sound like 

the Edison of manufacturing. 

Unfortunately, the only Porsche 

content is in an 1988 article from 

Automobile, quoting 13-14 year-olds as 

chanting “Porsches Suck” over and over, 

while waiting for a chance to sit in the 

seat of a Testarossa race car. 

In it’s 288 6x9 inch pages, LIFE IS 

A HIGHWAY contains scattered small 

pictures and some full-page black and 

white artwork which, like the cover, 

seems reminiscent of WPA mural projects 

of the late ‘30s. It should be available at 

your favorite bookseller (ask for it), for 

the refreshingly round price of $25.00, or 

from www.motorbooks.com.

Fun Tour II: 

(Continued from page 12) 

Then 

of the pretty scenery so we continued on 

our solo journey. Somewhere along the 

road we had lost the Porsche that was 

behind us. We were beginning to think 

we were last but as we came back we 

saw probably a half dozen more, spread 

out, still making their way down to the 

end. Ok, we’re in good shape. 

We continued our solo journey for 

awhile longer, all the while enjoying the 

twists and turns and beautiful scenery 

along Silverado Canyon Road and Live 

Oak Canyon Road. I LOVE those roads. 

The weather cleared up the second we 

left Silverado Canyon Road. Odd that it 

only drizzled there. We hit lots of signals 

when we were back in civilization. Soon, 

we were joined by the yellow Porsches 

and a few more that had been behind us. 

Yay! We’re with our peeps. It was fun to 

be in a caravan again. We had a great 

time driving with that group. 

we drove on Pelican Hill Road 

where the first group had pulled over and 

were enjoying the view while they waited 

for us. We waited a short time longer til 

the rest of the group caught up. We were 

altogether for the great drive through the 

Back Bay. We went slow along this road 

and savored every moment of the beauty 

around us. The sun was reflecting on the 

water just right - so pretty. 

Our driving adventure ended at the 

special Porsche coral complete with 

our own security guard saved for us at 

South Coast Plaza. The Porsche Design 

Store had a “celebrity” waiting for 

us, as Armand had promised us at the 

beginning. It was the new Boxster. Wow! 

Awesome car! We all ooh’d and aah’d as 

we were told all about the car. I had to 

chuckle when one of the club members 

wearing a “911 to the core” t-shirt eagerly 

Thank you Rose at Porsche Design Store for the 

parking corral 

volunteered to get in the car and show us 

how to operate the convertible top. 

We proceeded into the Porsche 

Design Store where they had music, 

appetizers and martinis waiting for us. 

We were given the royal treatment there. 

We ate, drank, mingled and I, personally, 

drooled over the leather jackets and t- 

shirts. Many thanks go to Armand Gastelo 

for planning a truly “fun” afternoon. We 

really enjoyed the drive and the laughs 

we had along the way.

CP#2: “Incoming” 

From CP #3 the route led the competitors down Harvard 

to the University shopping center, across from UCI, to the 

Steelhead Brewery for libation, food, socializing and the 

revelation of the winning poker hand. 

*Note: A special thanks goes out to Pete and Judy Lech 

for being the sweep car, to be sure no one was lost along the 

way. I am pleased to report their expertise in “herding cats” 

was not really called upon this day. 

The Winning Poker Hand was 4 KINGS, held by 

the Lyons. When awarded the pot, they asked about our 

designated 2012 Charity and then donated the pot winnings 

to Semper Fi. VERY COOL! Thank you Ron and Judy! 

Even though the turnout this year was light (historically we 

have drawn 30+ cars), the event generated $95.00 for our 

designated charity. 

Finally, a BIG THANK YOU to all the entrants and 

volunteers because your participation drives the success of 

our club.

AutoX: 

(Continued from Page 17) 

Pamela Horton is #187 

one of our usual drivers, join Steve on this 

walk. They could do a skit of sorts, but I 

digress. Steve gives tips on where to enter 

and exit a turn, how to set up for the next 

slalom and what kind of hair shampoo to 

use. (He has really long hair) 

Following the announcements it was 

time for students to be paired up with 

instructors. (One of the announcements 

was that The Scheussler Family was 

named PCA family of the year. The 

clan includes Bob and Lisa Scheussler, 

Kris, Becky, Karin and Bekah, Lorri 

and Morgan Trotter. Congratulations!) 

I was paired with Phil Cowan, who 

brought his 1991 Audi Coupe Quattro. 

I was impressed by the number of “big 

tracks” he had ran in the past. This was 

his second autocross event with us. It 

was great fun pointing him in the right 

direction through the cones. He did 

great. 

We had twenty-four students sign 

up for this event. It was a lighter than 

usual turnout, which is great for running 

the groups quickly, but not for filling the 

assignment of corner workers needed. 

Craig Adams had his work cut 

out this time getting enough drivers to 

help out. I even helped out as a corner 

worker, which is great. It gives you 

the opportunity to be really up close to 

the action as the cars zip by you. A big 

“Thank You” also goes out to all of the 

instructors who took the time to share 

their driving and track experience. As 

the day came to a close I could not help 

but think how lucky we are to have our 

independence. Come and join us at the 

next autocross event and share in the 

fun.

Rice’s Ramblings: 

(Continued from page 8) 

memories 

the 3mm C.O. adjustment wrench. I use a 

nice long 4” x 4” block of wood on a floor 

jack and raise the roof. Literally I push up 

the engine compartment roof slowly until 

it just touches the upholstered rear deck 

cover. It sounds brutal but Porsche made 

some small roof clearances on the stock 

930-turbo bodies. A standard 911 getting 

a 930-turbo engine needs this done for all 

installations. These upgrades apply to any 

911/930 and owners should know what 

the complete upgrade package is about 

before starting such a project. 

If you have driven a 3.2 or 3.6 

Carrera and enjoyed the rush and power 

of them, think of how that power would 

feel in a 911 weighing 500 -700 pounds 

less to start with? Or how your present 

911 will thrill you with an additional 

200-300 Horsepower? When all the 

911s upgrades, like brakes, suspension, 

wheels and tires, are finally on and 

running, you have something that is very 

special and not available to many people 

on this planet. So after all the estimating, 

brainstorming, planning and work is 

done (and paid for), the thunder and 

thrill of real power is most rewarding 

– especially in a lighter, earlier, 911! 

Editor’s Corner: (Continued from page 5) 

Blanche at Santaluz 

along with the miles between 

the two homes. I spent a full day in the 

garage going through so many items, 

many of them bringing wry smiles or in 

some cases a wet eye over people, places 

and activities of years past. Some of the 

people have moved on now themselves 

and that brings a special pang. But things 

and houses change and one has to change 

with them. 

Grey Poupon 

Or, the just past OCR Concours as a 

metaphor to a sandwich spice. We had a 

wonderful day in the exclusive confines of 

the Shady Canyon Golf Club. Everything 

about the grounds was beautiful and 

of course in Southern California (as 

opposed to Alaska) there was never 

danger of hail or sleet. I did rue the 

distance that happened between the entry 

point, trophy point and to the cars on 

display. However, Louse Bent and Nicole 

Cooper-Boggs (Mom soon to be!) are to 

be congratulated for a fine event. I am not 

sure if Nicole and Cooper’s child to be 

is male or female but what ever flavor, 

he/she will have been exposed at a very 

early pre-age to the aroma of an exotic 

array of car enhancing sprays, waxes and 

polishes. There is doubtless an enthusiast 

to be waiting to join us from the Boggs 

family. 

Dude, where have you been? 

Well most recently; Maryland, New 

Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and 

Connecticut, all in about four days. During 

this trip I visited a young couple starting a 

family in Brooklyn with an apartment of 

about 800 sf at a mind boggling monthly 

rental. It gave me pause to think that we 

are so lucky to be in So Cal with enough 

disposable income to entertain the thought 

of something like a - PORSCHE. This 

leaves me to remind you to get out and 

enjoy it with your Porsche friends at the 

OCR PCA! Don’t be a couch potato or 

rutabaga, or parsnip or whatever subsoil 

vegetable you prefer. Get out and drive 

that thing with friends. And when you do, 

say hello to a Board Member!

Automotive Archeology: (Continued from page 20) 

The next step was to bring that 

California hot rod attitude from the 

Beetle line-up to their Porsche product. 

So they began to develop a performance 

catalog geared towards 912s and 911s. 

In late 1967, the dealership added a 1967 

911S in blood orange to their inventory. 

Joe immediately adopted the car as his 

own and decided to use it as his test car 

for his new hot rod parts. The first thing 

he did was to employ his sons, Darrell 

and Dean Lowry, (later known for his 

performance engine building shop called 

Deano Dynosaurs) to squeeze more 

power out of the high-strung 2.0 liter 

engine. Dean created a 2.5L big bore kit 

that was reported to produce 30hp more 

than stock. Dean and Darrell became 

famous by creating the “Inch Pincher” 

VW Beetle drag car that dominated the 

SoCal drag scene through out the late 60s 

and early 70s. Also, to handle the extra 

power, they adapted the rear fenders to fit 

the EMPI 7x15 magnesium wheels that 

they were already selling to their Porsche 

clients. Finally, they created a custom 

two-in/two-out muffler with a cut out on 

the passenger side rear bumper (which 

we kept). 

Unfortunately, Joe passed away 

in 2010 and I was unable to talk to 

him. However, after several months I 

tracked down his son Darrell. Darrell 

is semi-retired but still building VW 

hot rod engines in Oregon. We had a 

great conversation. He remembers his 

dad’s car fondly. He said that car was 

so stinking fast that it just begged to be 

driven hard. He told me he remembered 

driving the car home after a day of drag 

racing at the OC Fairgrounds Drag strip 

where he had destroyed all the synchros. 

He said that he was turning mid 13 

second ¼ mile times at 104 mph. This 

was over 2 seconds and 10mph faster 

than a stock one. 

The next step for Joe was to get some 

press. Sports Car Graphic magazine 

decided to do a feature article on the 

car. He rented Riverside Raceway and 

employed Bob Bondurant to test out this 

EMPI 911 S. However, Darrell said that 

the event actually took place at the now 

defunct Orange County International 

Raceway. This makes sense since Bob 

Bondurant started running a driving 

school out of this location in 1968. 

Darrell also mentioned that Bob took 

him for a lap around the track and scared 

the crap out of him. 

Fast-forward 43 years: 

And next month we will continue on this 

journey!

Zone 8 Happenings 

By Tom Brown Zone 8 Representative 

I have a favor to ask of you. If you know 

who the 2009 Zone 8 Enthusiast of the 

Year was, would you please let me know? 

I’m embarrassed to say there aren’t any 

zone records of the winner (and it was 

only 3 years ago!). If it was you, a friend 

of yours, someone from your region, or if 

you just happen to remember, please let 

me know. The award was presented at 

the January 2010 Zone 8 Banquet. If you 

can give me some idea of who it was, I’d 

much appreciate it; it will help me in my 

attempt to pull together our zone history. 

By the time you read this, the first round 

review period for the Zone 8 Rules 

proposals for 2013 will be over. The 

zone staff will be meeting shortly and 

spending a day discussing them. Last I 

looked, it was over 80 pages of material, 

so we definitely have our work cut out 

for us. Once we are finished, the results 

of our deliberation will be posted for 

the second round of rule review, which 

should be open roughly from October 

first through November fifteenth. Be 

sure to check them out and send in your 

feedback. I’ll send out an email to the 

zones to remind you. 

A couple of big events are coming 

up on the calendar that I want to 

highlight. The weekend of September 

22 & 23, San Diego Region is hosting 

a PCA Hospitality and Corral at the 

Coronado Speed Festival. All PCA 

members are invited to stop by and visit 

while enjoying the races. Stay tuned for 

more information about how to get your 

parking pass to place your car in the 

corral (Porsches only!) 

Big news for November! I’m very 

happy to announce that San Diego 

Region has added a Club Race to their 

previously scheduled Time Trial the 

weekend of November 3 & 4. 

At the tail end of November, be sure 

to make room on your calendar to attend 

the PCA member private preview at the 

LA Autoshow. PCNA will once again be 

allowing us to get a jump start on seeing 

the latest and greatest vehicles for 2013. 

And that same weekend, on December 

1st and 2nd, PCA will be bringing our 

national Tech Tactics program back 

to the PCNA facility in Ontario. The 

ultimate tech session, this program puts 

you together with members of the PCA 

Tech Committee and the highly trained 

Porsche mechanics (and maybe a VIP 

or two from Stuttgart) for a weekend of 

Q&A and lectures on all things technical 

about your favorite car, your Porsche! 

Registration info will be available, as 

we get closer. Save the date and make a 

weekend of it! 

Enough of the future, let’s look back 

a few weeks. Parade was phenomenal! 

Salt Lake City was a terrific host city and 

everybody had tons of fun. Susan Brown 

and her committee did an outstanding 

job and they have a lot to be proud of. 

It was a terrific show! By the way, as is 

normal, the location for the Parade two 

years from now was announced on the 

last night and the 2014 Parade will be in: 

Monterey! A west coast Parade! Plan for 

it, as it is sure to be another outstanding 

event. (And don’t forget, next year will 

be Traverse City, Michigan.) 

Zone 8 brought home plenty of 

trophies from Parade this year, so please 

congratulate the winners the next time 

you see them. I’ve tried to list them; I 

apologize if I missed anybody. (From 

looking at the published results, it isn’t 

always clear how deep they issued 

trophies, and some of the classes are 

pretty big.) 

Family of the Year 

First of all I’d like to make special 

mention of the Scheussler family. Bob 

and Lisa Scheussler along with Kris, 

Becky, Karin, and Bekah and Lorri and 

Morgan Trotter, from the Orange Coast 

Region are the 2012 Porsche Family of 

the Year! Congratulations on winning 

this prestigious award!
