TRANSCRIPT
There are currently five
lighthouses in the Sonnen-
schein area; Pensacola
Lighthouse, Middle Bay
and Sand Island Lighthous-
es near Mobile and Round
Island (Pascagoula) and
Biloxi Lighthouses in Mis-
sissippi. After the Missis-
sippi run last September,
Stormie and I participated
in Cruisin’ The Coast. The
twilight was extraordinary
when I took this picture of
her at the Pascagoula
Lighthouse.
Like most Sonnenschein
members, Stormie and I
hate accumulating miles on
the blue shield highway, so
whenever possible we seek
a two lane. Preferably these
roads are smooth, serpen-
tine and deserted, without
side streets, but that's be-
coming a bygone fantasy in
the Sunshine State. Floridi-
ans are fortunate however,
to have scenic coastal
drives to substitute for
deserted secondary roads.
Our coastal roads connect
ports, historic forts, beach-
es and piers, but I'm guided
toward the beams of light-
houses. Although they're
largely obsolete since the
advent of GPS, for thou-
sands of years they were
the standard for maritime
navigation. A lot of effort
has been expended to pre-
serve and protect them
because they're landmarks.
Many of them are the old-
est structures in their coun-
ties because they're built so
strongly to survive severe
weather.
I'm required to travel to the
Boca Raton area periodical-
ly, so I try to reward myself
with an excursion on the
return trip. The first time
was before I met Stormie
when, on a whim, I drove
from Tallahassee to Pen-
sacola by way of the four
panhandle lighthouses near
Apalachicola. Last March,
Stormie and I went up
Florida's East Coast on
Highway A1A to Werks
Reunion on Amelia Island,
including six lighthouses.
In December, we crossed
the Everglades on the Ta-
miami Trail and visited the
Gulf Coast lighthouses on
Sanibel and Gasparilla Is-
lands.

Sonnenschein held a a very pro-
ductive meeting on Jan. 11, 2019
and we were able to fill two
spots on the board: Newsletter
Editor - Amy Boring, and Treas-
urer - Lindy Kirkpatrick, who
has been treasurer for the region
in the past. Thank you both for
taking on those jobs.
One item discussed was the 2019
calendar of activities for the
region. That calendar will be out
shortly.
One of the big events this year is
the Porsche Parade in Boca Ra-
ton, FL, July 21 thru July 27.
The First sign up date is Feb 4th,
which is to get your room at the
Boca Grand. I am being told by
National that room rates will be
$140.00 to $200.00, which is a
deal at a 5 Star resort. The next
sign up will be April 15th for all
the dinners and events that you
want to do. Both these dates
and times will be in Panarama or
on the PCA.org web site.
We have about 7 folks headed to
the Rolex 24 at Daytona Interna-
tional Speedway. This the first
race of the year and it is a real
spectacle.
We have worked on our Auto-
cross Schedule and have added
two additional events at Pace
High school. These dates are
being finalized and will be put
out to the membership.
The Region is also looking to
have a group attend the Alabama
Grand Prix at Barber Motor-
sports Park in Leeds, AL. Kathy
Morey is taking the lead on this.
It is a great event at a beautiful
facility.
One thing to remember - events
like the Rolex and the Alabama
Grand Prix, as well as any track
event that you want to go to, you
have to plan sometimes months
in advance. We sign up for the
Rolex in Early June, 7 months
before the event.
Ben Powell, the region’s Ala-
bama representative, has a lot of
meetings planned for the third
Thursday of the month in the
Mobile and Baldwin County
area. We are a large area region
covering three states, and it is
difficult for all of us to attend all
the events around the zone.
As I mentioned earlier, we have
a new newsletter editor and we
need things sent in for articles
that she can put in the newslet-
ter. I know not everybody has
the ability to win a writing con-
test, but we can all do a little
write up and pictures of things
we have done with our Porsches.
We also have a New Porsche
Dealer in Mobile, Porsche Mo-
bile. Some of us have met with
the management and employees,
and I know that I am very im-
pressed. They want to support
the region anyway they can. So,
please try and support them and
let them know you are a Sonnen-
schein Region Member.

The Rolex 24 at Daytona is a racing event that every sports car nut should attend at least once. If you happen to take a non-sports-car-nut with you, they should bring a good book. Or, as my delightful spouse once said, “Other than being cold, noisy, and boring, it was a grand time.” With that out of the way, here is how the 2019 race unfolded. It is the season-opening race for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship series, so competitors are eager to try their winter improvements, and fans are eager to see the season begin. There is lots of anticipa-tion on the track and in the stands. The race started Saturday after-noon at 2:45 and was scheduled to end 24 hours later (that did not happen this year). Qualifying was earlier in the week, with lesser races held Friday after-noon and Saturday morning. The 4-day admission ticket (Thursday-Sunday) for $100 is the best way to go. Sonnenschein usually has 6-7 members attend, some arriv-ing in luxurious style, as in our Region President’s motor home, and others arriving in more pe-destrian carriages (911, 968, 944, etc.) I departed Pensacola at 5 AM Friday and arrived at 1 PM local time to see the afternoon races and visit with PCA members in the Porsche Corral. Corral park-ing is a very good deal at $100 for the 4-day parking pass. It provides protected parking right next to the track, and adjacent to the PCA hospitality tent, which has big-screen TVs, water, and seating. Corral passes are hard to come by, and sell out within a few minutes of going on sale in June or July. Yes, you must buy it 8 months before the event.
Track events ended about 4 PM Friday, so I headed to my hotel for a good night’s rest before the big show. Saturday, I arrived in the Corral about 9 AM to hear the excellent speakers PCA has lined up, and then to wander the infield for several hours. I won a hot pit pass in the drawing, so at 2:30 Lisa Lewis, our Z12 rep, led six of us over to the hot pit area. We got special passes and head-sets with speakers, so we could hear our guides discussion above the noise. We got to stand next to the pit road wall and watched several pit stops from 10 feet away. Very nice! After 30 minutes we were led out and that ended our tour. After that, I caught the yellow tram to take me outside the track to the bleachers, where I climbed up many rows to have a great view of the race. Several hours later, I caught the same tram back to the infield, visited the hospitality tent for a little while, then headed to my hotel. Sunday morning, I was up early and got to the track at 6 AM so I could watch the race transition from night to day. Unfortunate-ly, it had been raining, and the race was yellow flagged for about 90 minutes. The track dryers were not making any pro-gress against the rain, so the race was red flagged and all racers parked along pit row and were covered with tarps. At 9 AM, with the track no drier than it had been when the red flag fell, they decided to go green flag racing. Visibility from the cock-pits was terrible, and after two laps there was a 3-4 car crash and the race was red flagged again. At this point, we spectators were wet and cold, and in light of the weather forecast had no hopes
for a dry track. After helping pack up much of the hospitality tent, I headed to my hotel to get dry and warm. There was some green flag rac-
ing later in the day, but the race
was finally called off a little be-
fore it had reached the 24-hour
mark. Sunday was disappointing,
but the 2019 Rolex 24 was still
worth attending.

A number of Sonnenschein
members attended the spring
DE sponsored by Alabama Re-
gion PCA in April, 2018.
I ended up taking my 1973 911T
because my Cayman was still in
the shop waiting for struts. The
old 911 is a lot of fun to drive,
and it was good to get it back
out and get her to stretch her
legs a little. I was able to get
three sessions in Saturday before
I had a problem. I was going
out for my last session on Satur-
day and the car would not start.
I checked a number of things
but still could not get it started.
Alabama Region puts on a great
buffet Saturday night and this
year it was Mexican, which was
really good.
Bob Langham was there with his
Cayman R, and Sunday he of-
fered to let me drive his car,
which I greatly appreciated. It
was nice to drive a Cayman,
since I had not driven mine in a
while. His car is very well pre-
pared with a PDK and larger
front brakes. I had one incident
in Bob’s car. There was a BMW
in front of me going into turn 5,
which is a left turn. There was a
large cloud of white smoke that
April 2018 Barber Motorsports Park

2018 In Review
came from the BMW, which I took
to be Coolant all over the track. Well
seeing white smoke and being in
someone’s else’s car, I got off the gas
and got on the brakes carefully, so as
not to spin. The BMW had blown a
Radiator hose and dumped coolant
on the track.
Other than that little incident, I had
no problems with the car or the
track. I am use to slicks on my cars
and Bob has Pilot Sports installed. I
noticed toward the end of a session,
which are 20 to 25 minutes, that the
tires started getting what I call
“greasy” from being hot.
The 63rd Porsche Parade was
held in Lake of the Ozarks, Mis-
souri, July 8th to July 14th. We
had not been to a Parade for a
couple of years, and it had been
a lot of years since I had been to
Lake of the Ozarks. Parade
headquarters was the beautiful
Tan-Tar-A Resort. Mary and I
stayed at a Camp Ground not far
from the Resort.
We departed Milton in our mo-
torhome, with the car and trailer
in tow. We left on Friday and
spent the night just south of
Memphis, TN. After a good
night’s sleep, we were back on
the road early. Memphis can be
a little difficult to get through,
but we took I55 north and cut
off to take some nice roads thru
Arkansas. Northern Arkansas is
hilly, and it was two lane roads.
We thought things were going
fine until we got near Imboden,
Arkansas and I noticed that my
trailer was broken and almost to
the ground in the front. I found
a place to pull over and check
things out and realized I was in
trouble. We stopped at a gas
station, which had a little coffee
shop and I went in to talk to
some older, local gents to ask
where there was a welding shop.
With their help, I found Powell’s
Welding and Machine Works,
which was about 10 miles south
of where we were. I unloaded
the car from the trailer and
drove very slowly back down the
road to Mr. Powell’s. I was
lucky to make it back south to
Mr. Powell’s.
Mrs. Powell gave me a ride back
north to where I had left my
Cayman, and I brought it back to
their house where she let me
park the car in her garage. I
knew it was going to take a cou-
ple of days to fix the trailer, so
Mary and I headed north to Lake
of the Ozarks. I called some
friends to see if we could get a
ride to Parade headquarters the
next day and get registered. We
ended up staying the whole day
and attending the welcome Party
Sunday night. We had to catch a
cab back to the campground.
Monday night was the Presidents
Dinner, which I attended, and
the food was great. I was able to
get a ride back to our mo-
torhome with some friends.
Pete and Patsy were the other
Sonnenschein members that had
signed up, but they could not
make the trip. Patsy had injured
her back, and the Doctor didn’t
want her to ride the approxi-
mately 750 miles and reinjure her
back. Because we didn’t have a
car to get around, it was difficult.
I was able to catch a ride the
next day to the Parade Head-
quarters. We had heard from
Mr. Powell on Monday, and he
had my trailer repaired. I drove
the motorhome back down to
Imboden, Arkansas to pick up
my car and trailer on Tuesday,
which made for a long day. It
was approximately 250 miles one
way back to get the car and trail-
er.
Originally, I was scheduled to
run the Autocross on the second
day, but they changed the sched-
ule and I ended up running on
the first day. The autocross was
set up on the parking ramp of a
local airport. We staged and
were inspected on the parking
ramp. This parking ramp at the
airport was newly paved, and
with the temperatures reaching
over 100 degrees, the pavement
top layer was working loose. It
was a handful, but a nice course
and I ended up finishing second
in my class.
I had volunteered to work the
next day at the autocross and
was either going to work a cor-
ner or grid. They were looking
for a volunteer to work the main
entrance to the airport and to
direct folks to the grid and the
spectator area. It worked out
great because I got to be under a
large, live oak tree that made
plenty of shade. It was a lot
better than being out on the
ramp chasing cones.
I had signed up for the autocross
Banquet on Friday night, and I
was able to get an extra ticket for
Mary since she was not originally
going to be there. It was a great
night being able to pick up my
trophy for second place in my
class. I was also honored to pick
up the region Growth Trophy
on behalf of Puerto Rico, which
is in Zone 12.
Parade has all sorts of things
going on during the week, in-
cluding Concourse, TDS Rallys,
Gimmick Rally, Autocross,
Tours (a lot of tours), Art
Shows, Tech sessions, and the
opportunity to meet a lot of nice
Porsche people from all over the
country. I have seen people I
met at my first Parade in Key-

stone, Colorado.
I know South Florida is hot during
the summer, but so was Lake of the
Ozarks. I would sure like to see a
large turn out from Sonnenschein
Region attend Parade in Boca this
year.
The fall PCA DE at Road Atlan-
ta is an event I have tried to
make the last few years. The
weather is cooler, which is nice,
and a friend of mine from West
Virginia comes down to enjoy
this wonderful track. This track
is first on my list of challenging
road courses in the world.
This time, my group, which is
group three, had enhanced pass-
ing with a point by. Normally,
we can only pass with a point by
on the straights. This change
made it interesting to say the
least. Road Atlanta is a very fast
track where I can reach 140 or
more in my Cayman S on the
back straight, which makes com-
ing into turns 10A and 10B in-
teresting. You really have to get
on the brakes to make the left
hand 10A, then hard on the gas
thru 10B and under the Bridge
to turn 11 and the approximately
seven story drop into turn 12.
You have to set yourself up
properly going under the bridge
to make turn 12. I have learned
over the years how to take turn
12, but it is still hard to put my
foot all the way down going
down the hill.
As I said, my group had en-
hanced passing with a point by.
Well, I was behind a Boxster
coming down the hill and he
gave me a point by, and I said to
myself “here we go!” and made
the pass. I surprised myself with
how easy it was to make the
pass. Later in the day, I had
another point by coming down
the hill and took it again. Turn
twelve is off camber to the left,
so I have found that if you can
stay more to the right in passing
the two cars, you can take the
turn faster.
In my opinion, Road Atlanta is
one of the finest road courses in
the world. You come down the
front straight into turn one,
which is an uphill right turn. You
can take turn one fast in third
gear, then up the hill to turn 2
and 3 and 4. Turn 2 is a blind
left after coming up the hill, then
3 is a right turn, then 4 is off
camber to the left, and then right
into the esses . The esses are
taken flat out, then down shift
for turn 5, which is an uphill to
the left turn. Turn 5 has bitten a
lot of drivers as they get up on
the gators on the right, which are
painted and can be wet in the
morning from dew. Up the hill
and down a short straight to turn
6, which is an uphill right-hand
turn with an uphill short straight
to turn 7. Turn 7 is a right-hand
turn, which is flat, and drivers
tend to take this turn in a higher
gear than they should. Taking
turn 7 in a higher gear is a mis-
take; you can pull the corner in a

higher gear, but you need the punch
of the lower gear to get your speed
up going down the back straight
through turns 8 & 9, then downhill
to turns 10A and 10B. Then, it’s up
the hill under the bridge to turn 12
again.
Road Atlanta has a lot of elevation
changes, making the track more of a
challenge. If you get the chance, go
to Road Atlanta to watch a race like
the Mitti or Petit Le Mans, which
was taking place after this DE in mid
-October.
Oktoberfast 2018 is the PCA
Club Races held at Daytona
International Speedway on Oc-
tober 25 thru 28, 2018, and is
the last race of the year. It was
also the GT4 Club Sport East
Coast final race of the year.
I have been to Daytona for the
Rolex, but this was a lot differ-
ent. Spectators do not have to
pay to watch the races. This was
my first time to attend, but I felt
since I am the Treasurer for
Zone 12 that I should attend. I
am glad I did. It was a lot of fun
and I got to meet some real ded-
icated people who put on this
race, DE, and Autocross over
the four-day weekend. I was a
little concerned with how much
money the track rental cost for
the weekend, which was a lot.
Zone 12 received all the revenue
from race entries, DE entries,
garage rental, and camping.
For those that would like to try
the DE, you must be a Solo
Driver with a lot of track time
before they will let you enter.
Most of us have a certain
amount of camber put into our
cars to help turn on a normal
course. At Daytona, you take
most of the camber out because
of the banking high loads.
I drove down Wednesday night
and arrived early Thursday
morning. I had to wait a little
while before I got to go in, but it
was not too long. I am accus-
tomed to the Rolex, where there
are campers everywhere. I drove
my camper thru the tunnel and
there was no one in the infield. I
was told to go down near the
track hospital and there were
camping sites there. These are
the camping sites that are for the
NASCAR teams or Rolex teams.
They were concrete pads with
water and electric. Don’t I wish
I had that for the Rolex, but they
cost a lot more than what we pay
for our Rolex camping.
My job was to pay bills that were
given to me, and to keep track of
the six golf carts that the Zone
had rented. I was good with
that, except come Sunday after-
noon, I was one golf cart short,
which we did end up finding. It
was raining Thursday when the
events started off and everyone
wanted a garage, which helped
bring in more money.
People like to drive Daytona, so
we had them coming from all
over the east coast and Canada.
I had one Canadian check, and
because of the exchange rates
when I originally deposited it in
the bank, we didn’t get the cor-
rect US amount. The bank later
found out it was written in US
Dollars and credited the zone’s
account. To rent Daytona
Speedway for four days is
$95,000.00, plus, per the con-
tract, we had to give them half
of our profits, which were an-
other $14,555.00. Keeping track
of all that money was very nerve
racking. I think I got a few more
gray hairs.
Next year, put this event on your
list of things to do. It is Free to
spectate!

Keith and I had spent several days
before Christmas in 2012 visiting
family in Tennessee. We headed
back south to Pensacola, FL on
Christmas Eve, but we only made it
from Oak Ridge to Chattanooga
before it became obvious that some-
thing was wrong.
It started with a high-pitched
squeal, and then puffs of smoke
bellowing behind us. With that sink-
ing feeling of dread, Keith took the
next exit and stopped in an empty
church parking lot. In the meantime,
he had me using my phone to look
up the symptoms. Based on my
Google prowess, a problem with the
air/oil separator seemed to be the

likely culprit.
Since it was Christmas Eve, we
thought for sure that all the business-
es would be closed, and we’d end up
having to call family from Clinton
(just north of Knoxville) to come
and pick us up, and probably not
make it back to Pensacola for Christ-
mas. However, luck, and excellent
Porsche customer service, was on
our side.
The service department of Porsche
of Chattanooga was closed, but we
got in touch with the show room just
before they were ready to close. One
of the salesmen was able to set us up
with a tow truck and an Enterprise
rental car, and had us back on the
road within 1 hour. In addition, he
had everything set up for the service
department to check out the Cayman
as soon as they reopened after
Christmas.
We made a trip back up to Chatta-
nooga several days later to pick up
the car. The problem did turn out to
be a failed air/oil separator.
We are very appreciative of the great
service we received from Porsche of
Chattanooga. Thanks to them, we
made it back to Pensacola for Christ-

great door prizes, and a great time

The restaurant and the event earned
rave reviews from attendees, both at
