California Inland Region 2

The Porsche Parade has come and gone and we are now into our second half of the driving season. So far the club has had a successful year with

several new events being tried this year like the Temecula Tour in June (see story by tour leader John Bumgarner on page 4), and the latest being a new breakfast meeting in the Santa Clarita Valley in July. Initial e-mail reports indicate that the breakfast meeting was well attended and enjoyed by all. I look forward to seeing the event report in next month’s Winding Roads! Putting on these events always requires some work by volunteer members to make

things happen. Remember, it’s not the cars… it’s the people! Please consider volunteering your time to put on an event! Mary Ann Paré is looking for new ideas for next year's calendar now. As the new breakfast meeting shows, not all events need be centered in the

Antelope Valley and more participation by ALL of our members is better for the health and vibrancy of our club!

Speaking of volunteers… Alice Rivera is starting work on this year’s Holiday Party and is looking for volun-teers for the party committee. Last year’s party was a great success and I know I am looking forward to seeing what she and her committee come up with this year! You can contact Alice at 661.466.6594.

I was wondering why Jim Gude’s newsletter column was so late this month… now I know! Thankfully the safety equipment in Jim's rental car worked correctly and he escaped seri-ous injury. You can read more about

car stopped, I simple stepped out appar-ently unhurt. Sadly, my rented Chrysler Pacifica was a write off. It served me well as its crumple zone, air bags and other features kept me in a safe cocoon. The frame buckled which allowed the engine to go under the car but the cock-pit remained tight with the doors work-ing normally. A careful checkout at the

local hospital revealed that I only suf-fered some rather large deep bruises on my arm (from the door) and on my chest (from the seat belt). Fortunately, I was the only injury.

This brings me to something Por-sche related. I often yearn for an early 911 or a 356. I now wonder how I would have fared in an early Porsche; not too good I think. Racing belts could be added that would help a great deal with the impact but some of us remem-ber when steering columns would skewer the driver [editor: 911’s won’t do that] while the engine (in front en-gine cars) pushed into his lap. I can’t help remembering that nice soft airbag and how well it worked. Should I limit my car passion to late model cars with airbags? Time will tell. My current thought is this; I certainly want airbags in my daily driver. I will also look more closely at safety ratings. The Pacifica scored 5 out of 5 in all tests and I do dearly appreciate how well it worked. How do Porsches score? The NHTSA web site reports that they were not tested; I wish that they were.

traffic light had subtlety changed from a green arrow to just green. Thinking that it was still a green arrow, I blindly followed the van into the intersection. As the van turned, I could see ahead (for the first time) and surprise, he had cut in front of a really big yellow truck doing (according to the driver) 60 MPH. I couldn’t get across the intersec-tion ahead of the truck, nor did I have the momentum or time to try and swerve to the right. I only had time to stop with my nose in the intersection and hope the truck would edge to the right and miss me; he didn’t. The im-pact was fierce and the only thing that seemed soft and that was not hurting me was the airbag. The truck struck me head on with my front end turned at about a 45 degree angle. I was spun around and thrown off of the roadway like a billiard ball. The truck was in a ditch on the opposite side (perhaps he did try to miss me or the impact changed his path a bit, nevertheless, there simply was not enough time for either of us to do much of anything). I was so very surprised when after the

I am on the road again and writing this while on a business trip in Vermont. The same business took me to Montana on the day of

the Santa Clarita Breakfast meeting on July 14th. I squeezed a trip to Houston in between Montana and Vermont and have not been home for a while. I greatly regret missing the breakfast meeting as I think that it is a great idea and I am looking forward to the next one in September. Our next CAI event is the Moonlight Tour; this is dinner and a surprise location, with an after dinner social get together. The Tehach-api car show and festival follows a week later. These are fun events and I encourage all to participate.

Last week (while in Montana) I was involved in a head on collision with an eighteen wheeler sand and gravel truck. I was in a moment of inat-tention (driving in mental automatic mode) when I followed a tall van into an intersection and right into the path of an oncoming truck. It seems that the

wife Monica and their son Jess. They live just a couple of miles from Old Town and offered to lead us on the road less traveled to our next stop, Mt. Palomar Observatory. When we were walking across the street Austin Wicks spied a glass body, metal flake blue, dune buggy parked at the curb. He had that far away look in his eye and a quiet little grin. Was he ever surprised when he found out that that dune buggy was the new lead vehicle. It just so happens that Austin has an old VW that he dreams of turning into a dune buggy. Needless to say Mike and Austin hit it off instantly.

The growing contingent of German technology was off and heading south to the twisty mountain roads. I have to thank Mike for stepping up and leading a group of Porsches in his VW. Origi-nally I got the route directions from Map Quest. If we had tried to follow what I had downloaded we would have been lost, out of fuel and sleeping in our cars. The title of the story would have been “Lost in Cleveland National Forest.” Instead I was able to enjoy the sights and wonderful sounds of a Por-sche exhaust with my Boxsters top down.

As we began to climb up the side of the mountain Mike pulled over at a wide spot and we all got out stretched our legs and enjoyed the cool mountain

beautiful flowers, none of which will last one week at my desert home. After sampling some of the fruits my wife, Shirley, had to buy some fresh straw-berries. Not wanting to be outdone I wandered over to the fresh bread booth, had a couple of samples and left with 2 loaves. Talk about impulse buying. My taste buds made me do it!

The market is set up in a huge oval with the eateries all on one end. You know you’re getting close by all of the great smells and long lines of people waiting for their food of choice. David and Janice asked if we were eating now or stopping elsewhere on the drive. When I said this is the lunch stop David b-lined for the Gyro booth. He told me he hadn’t had one since he moved from Utah to California. Shirley and I pigged out on Crepes. Mine filled with veggies and chicken. Shirley’s sweet tooth ordered a banana, straw-berry and chocolate creation that left me with an upset stomach just watch-ing her eat it. On our next trip I’ve been informed that I need to get some dry ice for the ice chest so we can take a full load home with us. Once everyone was shopped out it was back across the street to our waiting cars.

For the second half of the trip we would rely on my nephew, Mike, his

The trip started at Jet Hawk Stadium in Lancaster with 3 cars. If it only went that well, the start that is. I had tried to print the release forms for the trip only to find out that my internet server was down, not good. Solution; call Abran Rivera at 6:00 a.m. and have him drop off a form for the tour.

Finally… 7:00 a.m. and we were off with the Wicks, Witteried’s and Bumgarner’s ready for fun and adven-ture. The drive to Temecula is about 2.5 hours of back roads and freeway which we made in good time.

After reaching the Temecula Old Town, the first shop we checked out was an antique store that was a laby-rinth of rooms that seemed to go on for a city block. It was a little scary look-ing at all of the items and realizing that I remember using so many of them. I’ve never thought of myself as an an-tique before. I couldn’t leave without buying a copy of a tin poster from one of my all time favorite movies, On Any Sunday.

After the antique shop it was just across the street to the Farmers Market. About 100 local growers and shop owners set up booths in a parking lot in the heart of Old Town Temecula. As you walk through you can sample fresh fruit, produce, cheeses and fresh baked breads. They also have several fresh flower and live plant booths. It was really amazing looking at all of the

air and trees. At this point Mike said the road would get steeper and tighter and the Porsches should go first so they could stretch their legs. That’s just what we did. There was very little traf-fic on the road up the mountain so the three of us took advantage and used our Porsches for what they were built for. We happily drove the 55 mph speed limit up the hill. Since most of the road would have been traveled at 25 mph by a lesser car 55 was a fun, fast pace that I think we all enjoyed. Once we fin-ished the twisty climb up the side of the mountain we drove across the top at a more leisurely pace. Driving through the trees in the cool mountain air was one of my favorite parts of this trip. Every so often we would round a cor-ner and get a glimpse of a huge white dome shining through the trees. It looked like our final destination was approaching fast.

After parking our cars the first stop was the observatory museum. As we began walking up the steps to the mu-seum a docent called for the start of the next observatory tour. We had made it just in the nick of time! They told eve-ryone to grab a jacket before entering the dome because the inside tempera-ture was only 51-degrees. This is done to prevent distortion of the air above the telescope optics when the dome is opened for viewing at night. Seeing the Hale telescope in person is very im-pressive. It’s hard to believe it was completed over 60 years ago. David, an engineer, looked like a kid set loose in a candy store. You could see it in his eyes, he really wanted to climb the 60 ft ladder and sit inside the observer’s station. Today everything is done with computers. I can’t go into too much

993 Engine pan removal

Q I have just purchased a 993 for my primary vehicle. Should I

remove the under engine pan? I see occasional heavy traffic. Will it facili-tate engine cooling?

A As best I know it does not facili-tate engine cooling, and it may

impede it. It is probably a benefit for driving in snow or ocean coasts (to keep road salt off the engine), or in Switzerland (noise laws), otherwise I would remove it. 4/12/2007 1999 996 Check engine light on after expansion tank replacement

A The service interval on the belts are covered in your owner's

manual maintenance packet. However they do not mention the dual ignition distributor belt. I would change yours now. I send the whole distributor out to Rennsport Systems in Oregon, and have everything checked including the bearings & seals. With the rest of the belts I like to check them for cracks. Turn one part of each one towards you, or use a mirror and a flashlight. Once they start cracking you might as well change them. 1/3/2007

with the Durametric software & cable, see durametric.com. If you meant to say the engine coolant temp warning light came on, that is fairly typical after cooling system work. It can take a few cycles of warming up the engine, then letting it cool a little, then releasing the pressure and topping off the coolant again. 4/3/2007 1995 911 Belts

Due to the tank replacement can you suggest areas to look for problems related to the repair? I am 70 miles from the nearest dealer or shop and don't want to drive the car that far. I do understand that I will need to get the codes at a dealer and make decisions based upon those.

Vice President: Abran Rivera stated that Alice would start coming to the board meeting to begin planning the Holiday Party.

Newsletter/Webmaster Report: We are again an award winning newsletter. David has done a great job. However, he still needs everyone’s articles by the 10th of the month to get the newsletter ready on time. David is trying to keep the cost of the postage down by folding the newsletter in half.

California Inland Board Meeting July 11, 2007. The meet-ing was called to order at 6:00 p.m. In attendance: Greg Reed (Past-

President), Abran Rivera (Vice-President), Janice Witteried (Secretary), Mary Ann Paré (Activities Chairperson), David Witteried (Newsletter Editor), Mike Forest (Treasurer), Rich Paré, and Roy Jensen.

Old Business: Roy Jensen talked about the research he was doing on getting the club incorporated. A form needs to be sent to the State to start the process. A motion was made to start the process and it was seconded. A second motion was made to obligate the funds to pay the paperwork fees by David Witteried and seconded by Rich-ard Paré. The motion was carried.

The possible autocross venue at Palmdale Airport was discussed. David Witteried was still waiting for a reply from LAX. One of our members in the Valencia area suggested a possible site in that area. David will look into it.

The board needs to change its meeting night due to conflicting sched-ules. We are waiting for our President to return for a final discussion. Also it is never too early for the members to start thinking about next year’s board. A couple of the members have served their two years so there will be some vacant spots. Remember fresh faces, fresh ideas.

New Business: When we were at Parade, Orange Coast Region sug-gested that we do a multi-region auto-cross with them. They would do the timing and bring the cones we just need the spot. Profits would be split with our

cars, grabbed the local tour guide and prepared for an all night standoff. It turns out that Lils Steaks & Ribs joint had the best of both worlds. We ate good food and had great conversation.

After dinner it was time to head home after our short escape from the rest of the world. The ride home was uneventful except for one small detour. I missed the turn to the 215 exit free-way hidden in a maze of construction cones in Riverside. It seems that every-one knew about the secret location but me. Just a small route change and we were back on course. As we got close to Edwards AFB the yellow 911 and burgundy Boxster parted paths as we each headed to our homes.

Suggesting, organizing and leading my first tour was a little nerve racking. Everyone kept telling me and Shirley how much fun they were having which was a tremendous relief for us. Thanks for the words of encouragement, they meant a lot. Now that this trip is over I have a couple of other shorter drives brewing in the back of my head. This stuff can get addicting. Give it a try some time, you just might surprise yourself with how much fun it can be.

he’s always wanted to do. One down and only 99 more to go! Some day I’ll be retired too.

As we were getting ready to leave the mountain top Austin and Patricia told us they would like to continue fur-ther through the mountains to the quaint little town of Julian (make that 98 to go). They had checked the map and were ready to continue the adven-ture. David, Janice, Shirley and I had to get home so we said our goodbyes and our tiny caravan of two headed back down the mountain. Fortunately David

led the downhill sprint because I had paid too much attention to the road and not enough to the road signs. If I had led we would be referring to the “Lost” title earlier in this story (thanks for getting us home). Once we got back to Temecula both our Porsches and our stomachs were looking for food. While at the gas station David told me about a BBQ restaurant we passed and asked if we should try it. Just then Janice told him that she had a craving for a big steak. The battle was on, guys for ribs, girls for steak. We parked the

detail about the tech end of the tour because it was way over my head. One of the docents kept asking me if I had any questions, I didn’t. Thankfully Austin and David filled that dead si-lence with some good question and answer sessions for the rest of us. Once the tour was over we all walked back to the museum and took the self guided tour. While standing by our cars Austin thanked me for suggesting this trip.

• Contribution by members out-standing.

• Love the photo inserts in articles.

• Glad you have a “staff” to pull from.

• For your size, you’re doing great stuff!

Thanks to my “staff” putting together a wining combination is easy! Good work everybody! Now, here are some of the particulars to put things into per-spective: There were 44 entries with a possible point total of 1,150. The best newsletter which won the Heinmiller Award was the Spiel, from Pacific

Northwest Region with 1,024 points. Our newsletter came in 9th overall with 900 points, only 13 points behind Yel-lowstone Region which came in 7th overall! Not bad for two regions with less than 200 members.

See you on the road!
