However, you will have opportunities to meet and work with some of the finest people in PCA. Perhaps, the pay is non-existent, but there are other rewards. Here is your chance to take control and project your creativity. We have had the current newsletter format for many years. Is it time for a change? The time commitment is not long, strenuous or tedious. Rather it’s a set your own hours, about a one day commitment each month to pull the articles together, format and prepare the newsletter for copy. You can work from home - no long commute required; nor a reason to buy a new wardrobe. There is no dress code; you can wear weekend causal or nothing at all. Do I have your attention yet? We are in need of a newsletter editor or editors (this can be a shared task). Tom Stein is ready to pass the newsletter job on. His daytime job responsibilities (yea, the job that puts money in his pocket) are straining his free time activities. Tom will work with the new editor(s) during the transition period. He will not dump this job upon you without support. If someone does not step forward and take over this task, it won’t be long before we may not have a monthly newsletter! (see other article regarding newsletter frquency) Are you ready to be the next newsletter editor? Contact Tom Stein or any Board member. We will be happy to discuss this very important responsibility with you. Marsha Hayden has asked for some time now to be replaced as the Charity Chair. As chairperson you pick four or five members for your committee. The committee’s responsibilities include soliciting requests from charities, interviewing potential agencies and making recommendation to the Board. Some of the current members can continue on the committee. Do you have a big heart? Are you looking for a worthwhile outlet for some free time? If so, please contact us. Maybe you just want to help rather than take over the chair. We need committee members too. Also, several of us see a sizeable gap in technical support. We need someone to take leadership and set up tech sessions for our membership. I’ve heard many times from our membership that they wish we would have tech sessions so they could learn more about the technical or mechanical aspects of their vehicles. Just this past week, I met a prospective member (he will join) who wants tech sessions. This is his first Porsche, a 1999 911 cabriolet. Within our membership we have at least six (6) members who have or work in shops. I see an easy way to get free advertising for sponsoring a tech session! Again, if you are interested in hosting a tech event or know of individuals, shops or vendors who will, please let your Board members know. For an organization to thrive, to grow and to blossom, we must furnish fresh nutrients to the organization. We cannot continue to rely on the same people year after year. We do burn out. Those of you who want to become active or more active please do so. We can always use volunteers, event hosts/chairs and chairpersons. We need someone to assume the Charity chair; take over or at least help with the newsletter; and help with establishing technical sessions for our membership. Won’t you please come forward and help. 5 Hocking Hills Spring Drive and Hike April 25, 2009 Located in the picturesque sandstone region of Southeastern Ohio, Hocking Hills State Park encompasses some of the most scenic areas in the entire state. Rock outcrops, deep cool gorges, and waterfalls are found throughout the area. The drives will be through the best roads around and the hikes will be on easy trails, hand-picked by a member who lives and drives there every day. We’ll spend plenty of time in the cars to satisfy the driving enthusiast in each of us, and have a chance to stretch our legs as we breath the pine-scented air while walking through hemlock groves to marvel at cascading waterfalls,breathtaking cliffs, deep recess caves and forestland as far as the eye can see. Bring a pair of shoes for driving and a pair of sturdy shoes for the hike. A mat or garbage bag for the hiking shoes is a good idea as the trails may be wet, but not muddy, in the spring. We will finish up with a fantastic dinner at one of the local res- taurants. 6 Continued from page 6 March 2009 Drive and Hike Itinerary: 12:00pm Columbus area members meet in Frisch’s Big Boy parking lot 3920 S Hamilton Rd 43125 12:15pm Porsche caravan Departs for hocking hills (Rockbridge) 1:00pm Meet up with local members at the flea market parking lot in Rockbridge 1:00pm-5:00pm Drive and Hike! 5:00pm Happy Hour and Dinner Afterward, head home or stay in one of the many quaint and cozy accommodations that can be found throughout the area.

  • Porsche in Le Mans
    Press Information Meet the Heroes of Le Mans Mission 2014. Our Return. Porsche at Le Mans Meet the Heroes of Le Mans • Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1 Porsche and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Porsche in the starting line-up for 63 years The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the most famous endurance race in the world. The post-war story of the 24 Heures du Mans begins in the year 1949. And already in 1951 – the pro - duction of the first sports cars in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen commenced in March the previous year – a small delegation from Porsche KG tackles the high-speed circuit 200 kilometres west of Paris in the Sarthe department. Class victory right at the outset for the 356 SL Aluminium Coupé marks the beginning of one of the most illustrious legends in motor racing: Porsche and Le Mans. Race cars from Porsche have contested Le Mans every year since 1951. The reward for this incredible stamina (Porsche is the only marque to have competed for 63 years without a break) is a raft of records, including 16 overall wins and 102 class victories to 2013. The sporting competition and success at the top echelon of racing in one of the world’s most famous arenas is as much a part of Porsche as the number combination 911. After a number of class wins in the early fifties with the 550, the first time on the podium in the overall classification came in 1958 with the 718 RSK clinching third place.

Over a period of some twelve years, this model racked up 232 international victories on every continent in the world. This included the World Sportscar Championship, IMSA, Japanese Sportscar Championship, DRM, Interserie, Supercup and Can-Am. No other car of its type was successful for more than one or two seasons at best, but the 956/962 reigned supreme for at www.porscheroadandrace.com least 6-8 years, and was successful at an international level for up to twelve years. This is the story of the works Porsche 962-006. Rothmans Porsche 962C (chassis #006) 1987 Le Mans 24 Hour winner photographed at Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, May 2017 If you speak to any of the Porsche engineers associated with the development of the 956 or the 962, you will be told that these two models are regarded within the racing department as one model. In an interview with Jürgen Barth in 2011, I asked him what the difference between the 956 and 962 meant to them in the race department, and he replied, “No difference, it was only the length of the chassis. For me it [the 956 and 962] is the same thing.” www.porscheroadandrace.com Rothmans Porsche 962C (chassis #006) 1987 Le Mans 24 Hour winner photographed at Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, May 2017 Only ten examples each of the 956 and 962 models were made and retained by the factory for use by the official works teams in period, with a further total of (approximately) 130 units being manufactured for the various privateer teams over a 12-year period.

    Laura and Dan Boeschen, Peter Grauman, Penni Gladstone, Greg Fuller... My Week at Daytona with The Racer's Group David Bunch As many of you know, I was given the opportunity go to Daytona Beach Florida for the Grand Am Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona with fellow Redwood Region member Kevin Buckler's The Racers Group. TRG had entered seven GT3 Cup Porsches in the 24 Hour race and three 997's in the Koni Challenge race. What is involved in this type of effort, I will try to tell you. Well, it starts out with 7 brand new GT3's, some that TRG picked up in Florida when in town for the December test at Daytona. When these brand new GT3's arrive at the TRG shop in Petaluma they are taken apart and reassembled to TRG's specifics. Also there is the work on the new 997's to get them ready. To get these ten Porsches to Daytona for the races require a convoy of three semi-trailers and three two-car trailers. Not only having to haul ten Porsches, but spare body parts, engines, mechanics tool boxes, tires, six sets of rims per car, boxes of TRG apparel (shirts, sweaters, t-shirts, jackets, fire suits, hats) and everything else for the effort. For a race lasting 24 hours, each car needs 4 or 5 drivers. Some of the drivers were professional drivers who make a living at this, and some were "gentleman" drivers who have driven in different club races etc. TRG had entered 33 drivers including four factory drivers from Porsche.

The engine is a Porsche Cayenne-based V8 built as an independent project and mated to a Riley Chassis. Pre-race favorites BMW Riley, Ford Riley, Ford Dallara, and last year's winner, the Brumos Porsche Riley, all led the race at various times during the day and night, but mechanical gremlins and miscues on the track derailed those ef- forts, and the Action Express team came away with the win. In the Rolex GT class, it looked like a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup victory was in the works once the leading Camaro broke overnight, but the leading TRG Porsches lost their advantage in the last four hours of the event. First, the #71 TRG Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, with NASCAR star Bobby Labonte at the controls, ran out of fuel on the course and had to be towed into the infield, where the TRG crew met the car, gave it a dump-can of fuel, and got it back on the track.
