But, as I write this, I am busy making sure that when the season starts at Sebring in February, Club Racing has sponsors providing needed funds, supplies and contin- gencies for you. Thankfully, I’ve had the chance to meet and talk to many of you this year, and I hope to meet many more in the seasons to come. Those encounters have led me to pursue sponsorship arrangements from com- panies I may not have without racer input, and hopefully we can continue to attract partners who provide prod- ucts and services that are beneficial to you on the track and off.

If you are not familiar with PRI, think the SEMA show in Vegas but smaller, only for the motorsports industry and located in downtown Indianapolis in cold (usually snowy) early December. It is two massive convention halls and associated hall- ways and side displays packed with every racing product supplier and machine tool manufacturer associated with racing that you can think of; in short, it’s pretty awesome. It is also one of the best places on the planet to network and find sponsors in the rac- ing world, which is why I am there. While the show is very American mus- cle heavy in its displays and exhibi- tors, there are still several companies creating products associated with sports car racing. Thus, it is relevant for us, even though there were more pictures of Porsches in the convention center than actual Porsches. The event has been successful for Club Racing in the past and I expect that will continue as it offers some- thing that will never go out of style, the ability to meet face-to-face with people and communicate to them why our program is special, and why they should be part of it. PCA Club Racing is a unique draw because of the people involved, because of you. We are a demographic that adver- tisers want to reach, and companies want to use their products. Overall the message was clear, the partners we have had over the years appreciate and value their association with PCA Club Racing. That is a direct result of the exposure they have received to our racers and the business you have provided back to them. We are in good standing now, and I expect to be for some time to come. As the season begins, keep an eye on the Club Racing Facebook and Insta- gram accounts because that is where I will be publishing news on sponsors and contingencies as they develop.

I became CRN editor with the Jan- uary 2015 issue. RRV was later that September. It took me quite awhile to feel comfortable with this job, so I attended RRV more as a general spectator than CRN editor. This year was different. Not only did I know a good many of the rac- ers, I had a better idea of what I was doing. Every driver I spoke with was beyond excited about being part of RRVI. The Sholar-Friedman Cup group seemed to always be the first session out in the morning which, as I was told, usually meant a delay because of early morning fog. Our guys had six track sessions, two on Thursday, one each Friday and Sat- urday, and a practice and race on Sunday. So, for Friday and Saturday our drivers were done with the track by 8:25AM. Someone suggested that I take walk the pits interview- ing drivers. I soon realized that the drivers, for the most part, were out and about enjoying the event. Con- sequently, I didn’t get a lot of inter- viewing done, but I did manage to do a lot of work, especially with sev- eral of our photographers.

It was later, in 1983, when my Porsche experience began after pur- chasing a used 924 from a guy in a neighboring community.

Working as a team to get the car back on the track is like the Thunderbirds not having all six jets ready for a show the next day.” Thunderbirds were the star attrac- tion of the Salinas Airshow this year, which happened to be the same weekend as Rennsport. Justin was surprised by the number of Porsches driving around, but it wasn’t until scrolling Instagram that he realized what was going on. He saw a White post showcasing one of Accumoto’s Rennsport cars. A quick internet search led to a phone call to White to let him know he was in town and to see if they could meet up. “I couldn’t call him fast enough! We hadn’t seen each other in years!” said Beach. The Thunderbird squadron com- mander also noticed the high num- ber of Porsches and, knowing Justin’s racing past, asked what was going on. Justin explained Rennsport Reunion and what it stood for. He also took the opportunity to ask the boss if the team could find their way over the track that weekend. “It was sug- gested as a joke,” said White. “Justin On Sunday, the team conducted Rennsport, you probably saw Beach replied (straight-faced) that his pilot another Delta pass transitioning to a and some of his fellow teammates would be all-in, and since he flies the modified “pass and review” maneu- walking around the paddock in their lead jet, all the others would follow.” ver where the crowd gets a view of tailored blue uniforms posing for The airspace between the airshow the top of the aircraft as they bank many pictures with the crowd (there performing area, the track, and Mon- for their turn.
