Dumkoff Trophy

his perpetual trophy is a special award, given by group vote at dinner meetings. Th e name plaques on this

award read like a who’s who of those that have active-ly participated in SVR activities over the years. Some have received it more than once.

What are the qualifi cations? You must be active in the club. Secondly you must be nominated by another SVR member (or signifi cant other, and yes, this has happened) for some-thing they observed you doing. Some of the nominations have been: working on a non-starting Porsche for a couple of days with one’s buddies only to fi nd it was out of gas, tak-ing a wrong turn as leader of your own tour, driving a non-Porsche on a Porsche event and forgetting to tighten some vital part, passing up a stranded Porsche on a tour you were supposed to follow and not off ering aid…

You get the idea. Lots of opportunities to be part of this famous list, OR nominate someone to be honored in this special way. Please call, email me, or see me at a dinner meeting to make your nomination. And yes, if you wish to nominate yourself, you can.

by John Draneas, 2006 Parade Chair

Parade is an amazing event. For 50 consecutive years, PCA members have met to spend a week cel-

ebrating the Porsche marque and themselves. Few car clubs, or even organizations, can boast of such a lengthy and con-sistent history of participa-tion. Th is exceptional pride and enthusiasm for the Porsche marque continues year to year.

Parade Portland is the fi rst of the sec-ond 50 years of Parades, and we will be starting the second half-century in a very big way. Foryears, the PCA National Parade Committee has surveyed Parade participants to learn what should be

don’t worry; frequent Parade attend-ees will still recognize the event. After all, we’re talking evolution, not revolution.

A New Attitude

It all starts with attitude. At Parade Portland, the universal goal will be

to have fun. Everything we do is going to be geared toward maximizing the fun quo-tient and keeping you entertained. After all, we realize time away from home is precious for

Cby Julia Lynn, Social Director

Can you believe the year is more than half over!

One thing I want to talk about this month is the upcoming year of the club.

We have a couple Board positions open for 2007, one being mine, Social Director. I touched briefl y last month about how I came to this position and let me tell you, it has been fun. I was new to Sacramento, having just married Buzz and moved from Santa Rosa. Needless to say, I didn’t know that many people here and had only gone to a few dinner meetings when I heard the club needed a new Social Director.

So now it’s nearly two years later and this has been a great experience. I became involved in Concours, Tours, Dinner meetings, even a Driver’s Education event driving around Thunderhill!

Now if you would have told me I would ever be on a race track in my Skippy, I would have said you were nuts! But there I was (on the cover of the Drifter too!). Some wonderful people have crossed by path that otherwise would have not.

30 Years Ago (July 1976)

Th e annual SVR Picnic & Auc-tion, July 11 at Cordova Park, also featured the grudge volley-ball match between the Sixers and the Four Cylinder bunch. Of course, the four-cylinder team won, easily, because of superior skill and strategy. Plus, their wives were better looking! Social chairs Trish O’Shields and Connie Farlinger chaired the event. Proceeds of the auc-tion ($600) went to the Sac-ramento Council for the Pre-School Retarded.

A news item in the July issue of Th e Drifter that fell under the Rare Sighting heading: “Th ere were 37 Porsches on the recent gour-met tour: 35 of the 37 were 900-series cars (i.e., 911, 912, and 914) and only two were 356 series, Peter Bogy’s 356B Coupe and Larry Wilson’s 1955 Speedster.”

Also in that issue, President Dave Neukom thanked Ted Robinson and Ken Fielding for working tech inspection all day at the CRAB V autocross. Th e cover of the July Drifter featured patriotic art by Mark Peters, age 6, son of editor Mary Peters. John Skoien advertised a 356SC/912 crankshaft, polished to standard rod and main jour-nals, for $300 or best off er.

Herb Hoover and Kern Breaux chaired the July 19 SVR auto-cross at Cal Expo which brought the 1986 Sacramento-area auto-cross season to a close because of a lack of autocross sites. Th irty-six SVR drivers turned out for the event (each had six runs), and drivers and workers capped off the day with a pool-party at the home of Dwight and Linda Mitchell.

A July 26-27 SVR Tahoe Tour, chaired by Kathy Chandler, pro-vided a great get-away week-end for 60 PCAers who said the view from atop Heavenly Valley at lunch was the highlight of the tour. Th e 914-4 of Jay and Carla Cross broke down on the tour in the middle of nowhere, but for-tunately plenty of help was avail-able including Kirk Bradford who was armed with scads of knowledge imparted by Dwight Mitchell at the July 12th SVR tech session entitled “Roadside Breakdowns and Repairs.”

Kirk also had with him nearly all of the tools and spare parts that were mentioned at the tech session as essential items for everyone’s emergency roadside repair kit. But, even more for-

If you are new to the club or a seasoned member, think about becoming the next Social Director! Give me a call or e-mail me if you’re interested.

Could Herb and Jan Hoover do any more for this club?

I don’t think so, but they are anyway. They are hosting a tour and the dinner this month, just after getting back from Hawaii no less. The San Francisco Art Tour is being held on August 5th and they will be going to the Museum of the Legion of Honor where 53 paintings by the great French impressionist Claude Monet will be exhibited. Call Herb & Jan at 916.424.5163 to make your reservation. The dinner meeting will be at The Buggy Whip in Sacramento on Thursday, August 10th. See the ad in the Drifter for menu choice and details.

Historic Races, that’s what’s going on in Monterey this month. I have never been to the historic races before so Buzz will be my guide!

tunately for the Crosses, Mike Willis happened along before Kirk, and quickly diagnosed the problem as a bad fuel pump. Jay’s sup-port vehicle, a BMW 733 sedan, also came by with his neighbor behind the wheel and they all piled in to resume the tour to Carson Valley and the tour destination, the Carson Valley Inn.


Th e July Drifter carried the story, “Ralph and Larry’s Excellent Adventure,” a highlight recap of Ralph Heath and Larry Wilson on the 6th Annual California Mille, a fi ve-day, 1223.8-mile drive through Northern California and Lake Tahoe in Ralph’s 1954 Jag-uar XK120 convertible (instead of his 356 Speedster).

Th e story detailed Ralph’s sudden affl iction of Red-Bottom dis-ease which seemed most prevalent among those traversing the rain-soaked route in open cars fi tted with crimson leather seats. For-tunately for Larry, Ralph had not found it necessary to re-dye the passenger seat before the event.

Competition Director Masuo Robinson used his July Drifter article to give credits to Rich McGlumphy, Mike Willis, Rik Larson, and Dwight Mitchell for helping to design and setup autocross cours-es during the year. Masuo also encour-aged more members to participate and support the SVR autocross program.

SVR’s Second Annual Hog Island Oyster Tour was held July 20 with Bob Brewer in the saddle as event chair. Th e plan was to meet in Davis, travel to the Hog Island Oyster Company, pick up some shelled oysters, then proceed over Porsche-type roads with all due haste to the beach for an oyster barbe-cue party with lots of white wine and French bread. And, that’s precisely what they did!

5050thth anniversary of anniversary of Porsche’s first victory Porsche’s first victory at Targa Florioat Targa FlorioTh is story was compiled from PCA and internet sources – Ed.

TT he most successful of all sports car manufacturers in the history of endur-ance sports car racing, the

company now known as Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, celebrated one of its biggest and most impor-tant racing victories on June 10, 1956 at the Targa Florio.

No win was bigger in company history than that day in 1956 when a Porsche 550 A Spyder scored Porsche’s fi rst World Championship victory.

Th e 550 A Spyder is the grandfa-ther of today’s RS Spyder Le Mans Prototype 2 racer and father of the current Boxster street car. And Porsche’s record 11th and last victory at the Targa Florio in 1973 was tallied by a Porsche Carrera RSR, the predecessor of the recently announced 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS street car.

Fifty years ago in June, Italian driver Umberto Maglioli was the unexpected over-

TT he Targa Florio was an open road endurance race held near Palermo, Sicily. Founded in 1906, it was one of

the oldest sports car racing events until in was discontinued in 1977 due to safety concerns.

Several versions of the track were used. It started with a lap length of 148 kilometers (92 miles), then was shortened twice to the 72 kilome-

ters lap (about 45 miles) that was used in the last decades, for usually 10 laps in the race.

Start and f inish was at Cerda. The counterclock-wise lap lead from Caltavuturo and Collesano at more than 600 meters (1969 feet) down to

sea level, where the cars raced from Campofelice di Roccella on the Buonfornello straight along

the coast.

all winner of what was then the world’s longest-standing and most dif-fi cult road race – the Targa Florio. Th e upstart Porsche organization gained worldwide recognition with this victory since it was the fi rst time that a driver in the under-two-liter class managed to beat vehicles with larger cylinder displacement.

Courtesy Porsche AG

WW ith an average speed of 90.9 mph and a lead of nearly 15 minutes on the second place vehicle, Maglioli not only out-classed the competition but also assured the fi rst overall

victory for Porsche in the Manufacturers World Championship.

Th is victory was all the more surprising because the 550 A Spyder debuted eleven days before the Targa Florio at a 1,000-kilometer race on the Nürburgring. Spurred on by the victory in this class, Porsche’s racing director Huschke von Hanstein traveled to Sicily with driver Maglioli and two mechanics to test the open-top Spyder’s competitive-ness once again. In contrast to other road races of the time, routes were not closed during practice, so the drivers always had to be prepared for local traffi c and obstacles.

It was Porsche’s fi rst entry in this legendary race because at the time the Targa Florio was seen as the home turf of larger-engined sports cars from Italy. Maglioli completed the 720-kilometer route without changing drivers in a time of 7:54.52 hours – and thanks to the reliability of his Porsche, only pulled into the pits to refuel.

His victory marked the beginning of a partic-ular success story for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. By the fi nal staging of the race as a World Championship in 1973, Porsche was the most successful automobile brand with a total of eleven overall Targa Florio victories.

Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans, France – Th e Flying Lizard Motors-ports No. 80 Porsche fi nished fourth in class at the 2006 24 Heures du Mans race here on June 17 & 18.

Drivers Johannes van Overbeek, Seth Neiman, and Patrick Long brought the northern California-based team’s Porsche 911 GT3 RSR home safely in a dramatic race that had twists and turns, multiple lead-ers, four manufacturers in the hunt for the GT2 win, and signifi cant technical challenges across the entire entry fi eld.

Th e Lizards came off of a 3rd place podium fi nish at Le Mans in 2005 and had a challenging and successful race again this year. Th ey missed a podium spot by one – and their fourth-place fi nish resulted from a val-iant and successful eff ort to restart and return their 911 GT3 RSR to the track in the dark, noisy night.

Th is year’s Le Mans was characterized by technical problems for near-ly every single team. Half of the fi eld did not fi nish the race and nearly every car made at least one trip to its garage for repairs.

At approximately 1:00 am, 8 hours into the 24 Heures du Mans, the Flying Lizard Porsche No. 80 went off track into the gravel just past the Dunlop bridge. At the time of the incident, driver Seth Neiman was seventh in GT2. After being removed from the track by marshals, driv-er Seth Neiman was unable to restart the car.

Race regulations state that a car must return to the garage under its own power in order to continue in the race. A driver may work on the car on the track. Over the next 45 minutes, the crew worked with Seth via radio – and when the radio power failed, via cel phone – to diagnose the problem and repair the car on track. Th ey believe the car was damaged when the car hit the gravel, and as a result, the car would not start. Th ey talked Seth through the process of fi nding the source of the problem, which turned out to be a broken electrical connection at the starter.

• Competed in the 2006 24 Heures du Mans, GT2 class with the No. 80 Porsche

911 GT3 RSR. Finished 4th in their class.

This is the team’s ALMS No. 44 Porsche.

2006 will be the car’s second consecutive

at Le Mans in 2005 for a 3rd place fi nish in

the GT2 class.

1:05 am – The No. 80 Lizard Porsche is in the gravel. Seth reports that the car will not turn over and suspects a dead battery. The crew will talk Seth through changing to the backup battery. – From a Flying Lizard internet report.

2.5 hours into the race, driver Seth Neiman report-ed a sudden problem when the rear locked up under braking near the Ford Chicane. After wrestling with the car for anoth-er lap under very strong vibration, Neiman pitted so the crew could replace all four tires. – From a Flying Lizard internet report.

Seth returned to the garage under his own power, the crew brought the car into the garage, topped off fuel, and went to work to clean the car and complete repairs. Th e crew also discovered additional damage asso-ciated with the incident and repaired it.

Th e crew sent the car out on track at 2:36 a.m., approximately an hour and a half after the incident, with Seth Neiman at the wheel to fi nish his stint.

Seth said about his on-track repair, “Th e crew did an excellent job at staying calm and talking me through a complex situation that they could not even see. It was unfortunate that we lost so much time, but I’m very proud of the fact that we were able to get the car back on track and fi n-ish so well in the race.”

Halfway There - The 12 Hour MarkTh e team regrouped and focused on strategy for regaining as much ground as possible as quick-ly as possible. Next up in the car was Johannes for a solid 2 hour stint. At 5 a.m – the halfway mark – Johannes was still in the car and the Lizards had moved to P10.

Special to The Drifter

From trackside at La Sarthe

F lying Lizard driver Johannes van Over-beek – a Sacramento native – spoke with The Drifter in

June while the team was running qualifying laps prior to the 2006 Le Mans race.

It was 5:30 p.m. in France and 8:30 a.m. in Califor-nia on Tuesday, June 13 and van Overbeek talked about the practice and qualifying laps coming up on Wednes-day and Thursday.

“We will qualify on Thursday and practice at midnight before, so then we will know,” he said. “Driving the course at night is not very diffi cult – the track is reasonably well-

lighted and we’re so far north that the night is short.”

He said the Lizard team felt very fortunate to place third in the 2005 race, but “when you look back on how the race developed, we didn’t depend on someone else’s misfortunes – we ran a good race.”

And this year van Overbeek said the team wanted to build on past experience. “You know, the primary objective is just to fi nish. It’s very diffi cult, it’s you against the race rather than against any other car.”

We asked van Overbeek about the differences between driving a late-model street Porsche and a Le Mans monster.

“They are similar in many ways. They are good street cars and good race cars, lots of control, light handling and in that sense they are similar. But by virtue of having a light-weight car and much more power it makes it louder and the tires have much more grip. Every part of that car’s operation excells relative to a street car.”

And how fast do they go on the Mulsanne Straight? “Oh, about 185 mph.”

It was defi nitely a group eff ort to get me there. During my stint, I felt very strong, consider-ing.

8 a.m. to FinishWith nine hours still to go, the Lizards stayed focused and pushed as hard as they could to regain positions. By 1 p.m., the attrition in GT2 had helped the No. 80 to move to fourth in GT2. For the last four hours of the race, Patrick and Johannes pushed, outpacing the fi eld at times by 30 to 45 seconds, but the dis-tance between the No. 80 and the No. 87 Fer-rari in P3 was too great to close.

“Th is was one of the most dramatic races that I have ever participated in,” said crew chief Tommy Sadler. “In GT2 alone, there were so many dramas unfolding constantly through-out the fi eld. To have four manufacturers in the hunt for the lead over the course of the race and three on the podium shows how much support there is for this class and for endur-ance racing.

“We were disappointed not to fi nish on the podium, but I am very proud of what we were able to accomplish given the challenges that we faced. Th e crew did a phenomenal job in staying focused, thinking on their feet, and getting the car back on track, no matter what. What an amazing 24 hours!”

The fi rst Le Mans race was held on May 26 and 27, 1923 and has since been run annually in June, with exceptions occurring in 1956 and 1968, and was cancelled only in the years 1936 and from 1940 to 1948.

The race is run on a semi-perma-nent track which, in its current con-fi guration, is 8.482 mi les long, using mostly country roads that remain open to the public for the majority of the year.

Drivers frequently refer to Le Mans as a race where up to 85 percent of the time is spent on full throttle, meaning immense stress on engine and drivetrain components.

However, the times spent reaching maximum speed also mean tremen-dous wear on the brakes and sus-pension as GT1 cars must slow from over 200 mph to around 65 mph for the end of the Mulsanne Straight.

The overall winner is the car that covers the greatest distance in 24 hours of continuous racing.

winter and summer solstices are exchanged. In the US, the summer solstice marks the fi rst day of the season of summer. However, Sum-mer as a season, is defi ned in meteorology as the whole months of June, July, and August, in the Northern hemisphere, and the whole months of December, January, and February, in the Southern hemisphere. Th e exact start of summer is a matter of convention: in Ireland

it is as early as May 1; in many countries it is considered to be June 1, while in many others it is as late as June 21.

n general, seasonal changes occur earlier in coastal regions, so countries close to the oceans go for an earlier start to Summer than continental ones. Summer is commonly viewed as the season with the longest (and warmest) days of the year, in which the daylight

predominates, through varying degrees. In the northern latitudes, twi-light is known to last at least an hour, sometimes leading to the famous white nights found in St. Petersburg and Scandinavia.

It is also called the season of the midnight sun near the North Pole and in Iceland, for instance.

VR’s Zone 7 Concours on June 18 at the new Niello Porsche dealership was a wonderful day that far exceeded the expecta-

tions of the Concours organizing com-mittee.

We had 51 cars entered in the Con-cours which was close to a record and a total of 105 cars on display for people

to see – and this was a record! One of the highlights of the day was the dis-play of classic and rare Porsches that

were parked inside the Niello Service Bay. Bob Murray brought out his 1953 356 Cabriolet and Jim Hardie brought out his 1952 Cabriolet. What a beau-tiful pair of Zone 7 Concours winning Porsche bookends.

Larry Wilson had his Pre A 1955 Speedster entered in the Concours and Ayleen O’Connell drove her freshly restored 1961 Roadster for all to see. A perennial favorite is Jerry Kiliany’s 1965 C coupe that he picked up from the factory and is the 11th 356 from the last one made. And talk about rare, Steve Childs drove his right hand drive 1971 911 R to put on dis-play! All day long we had some great music playing from our resident DJ – Dick MacFar-lane, and Mike Ambrozewicz fi red up the BBQ grill for a tasty lunch.

As an unexpected surprise, Niel-lo received the fi rst 997 Tur-bo the day before and put it in the service bay under a car cov-er. Rumors spread throughout the day as to what was under the cover and during the awards pre-sentation, for which at least 100 people stayed, Don Faerber, Niello Porsche’s General Manager and Don Koepke, Niello’s Parts Man-ager, unveiled the new 997 Turbo for all to see. Too bad the car was

already sold because a lot of people want-ed to take it for a test drive. And then we had the sale of over-stocked and discon-tinued Porsche Selec-tions goodies that were priced between 60-and- 80 percent off retail.

By 10 a.m. Niello’s showroom looked like Wal-Mart when they are having a blue light special! Don Koepke later said that 80- to-85 percent of the goodies they had purchased for this special one time sale had been sold.

It was all over too soon and by 3 p.m. the last of the SVR members were saying good-bye. Not to worry though – Don Faerber asked if we’d like to come back again next year and do it all over. We’ll be back Don and thanks.

As a side note, SVR is host-ing another Zone Concours at the end of the season at Sil-ver Star Recyclers on October 8th. Silver Star has been host-ing a Swap Meet for the last couple of years and this year it was decided to combine it with a Zone Concours. Dick Mac-Farlane and Kent Brandon are taking the lead on this one and it should be a great event with some interesting surprises so mark your calendars now!

PCA members, and many use up their vacation time to attend Parade. We’re going to do our best to make you glad your 2006 vacation was in Portland, Oregon on August 6 through 11.

Th e Oregon Region believes that if you’re going to have fun, there’s one necessary element – driving. After all, we have lots of great roads begging to be driven. You’ll want to bring a car, prefera-bly a Porsche. But we know driving across the country takes a lot of time, so we’re working on lining up some deals on car transport to and from Parade. Since many of you just won’t be able to bring your Porsches, the Gimmick Rally and tours will be open to rental cars.

All of us on the Parade Portland team are very excited about this event, and we look forward to see-ing you and showing you what life is like out here in the Pacif-ic Northwest. We really hope you can attend.

As you have no doubt heard, we have a very full Parade. Because of that, I would like to ask your indul-gence and coopera-tion. Most all of our events are sold out. We’ll have a lot of PCA members at every banquet, and

Parade Portland 2006: Making It Differentwe’ll have a lot of cars on the road. Please read all your instructions, and try to be on time to every event to speed up the logistics. We are confi dent that we have a good handle on everything and that all will go smoothly, but please keep in mind that we are all volunteers here, just a group of friends trying to help each other out.

saloon, and you will be right across the street from a Starbuck’s.

I would like to leave around 10, however, the earth will not cease rotation if we don’t. If you have been held up and will be late please call me on my cellphone – 916.402.5163.

Th e price is a little confusing so I will try to unconfuse it for you. Th e general admission is $15 for adults; $12 for old-age-pensioners, oops, seniors, but, because we will be ordering the tickets in advance, so we are assured entry, Ticketmaster adds their charge and it varies according to how big the group is.

I have no idea at this time how big the group will be so I am going with the greatest charge, and if, over time, the group enlarges to a number which would entitle us to a lesser rate, I will refund the diff erence. It will probably not be more than $.50 in any event.

And, according to SVR tradi-tion, we add $1 per person to cover expenses of the tour to the club. So, tickets for adults will be $19.50 and for seniors $16.50. If I can clarify any of this further for you please don’t hesitate to call me at 916.424.5163. I assure you a real person, not a computer, will talk to you.

Th e museum has a nice café so we will tour directly to the museum and you can have lunch at your convenience.

Mark Twain observed that the coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. Th e hot-ter it is here the colder it will prob-ably be there, so come prepared. I think we will have a good time viewing some of the most beautiful paintings ever, in a lovely museum, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

SSSaturday, June 17th saw a dozen or so Porscheophiles at Lisa and Mike Th omas’ Meadow Vista home for a session on brakes. Th e seminar was precipitated by Carl Brakensiek experiencing a spongy brake pedal at Th underhill Raceway earlier in the month.

“Spongy pedal” has a variety of causes, mostly heat related – over-heat-ed brake fl uid, inappropriate brake pads, brake lines expanding under pressure and grooved rotors to name a few. Carl decided to try the simplest and least expensive solutions fi rst: 1) switching to racing brake fl uid, which withstands the high temperatures generated by heavy braking, and 2) replacing stock brake lines with expansion-resistant braided steel lines.

Knowing that the Th omases had the necessary experience and exper-tise, he called and asked for their help. Th ey generously agreed and also invited all SVR club members. Julia Lynn, our social director, put out the word via email.

Th e Brake Tech Session was informative, interesting and well organized. Lisa and Scott discussed brake fl uids, types of brake lines,
