l y a plusieurs membres du club quitravaillent dans l’ombre en apportantun soutien continu à notre organisa-

tion.Un des membres volontaires est Scott

Darlington, un membre d’Ottawa qui tra-vaille dans le secteur high tech pour lacompagnie IBM. Scott offre son expertisecomme IT dans notre région et a passéplusieurs soirées déjà à travailler sur leMacintosh G4 du club. Cet ordinateurcontient la base de données de RSR etsert à la publication de notre DerAuspuff. C’est important qu’il soit àpoint.

Durant les derniers mois, l’ordinateurnous causait certains ennuis et par con-séquence cela créait quelques momentsintenses pour l’éditeur! Grâce à Scott,l’ordinateur a subi quelques modifica-tions et a été enrichi de pièces nouvelleset les problèmes sont en voie de dispari-tion. Un gros merci, Scott Darlington.

Un rappel de la croisière sur la rivièreOttawa, le 13 août. On vous y attend. Lecomité social d’Ottawa essaye de planifi-er des activités d’ordre social qui ne sontpas toujours reliées à la voiture. Lacroisière est une première activité de cegenre et on vous invite à encourager legroupe organisateur par votre participa-tion. Sentez-vous à l’aise d’inviterquelques uns de vos amis préférés afin departager le souper et la soirée dansante.Cette soirée, souper, danse et croisière enbonne compagnie d’amis et famille sepromet d’être amusante, relaxante et bendu fun. Téléphonez Rob au 613-722-7277ou communiquez par courriel à: [email protected]

On se voit au débarcadère!

here are a more than a fewRennsport members who quietlywork behind the scenes making

valuable contributions to the success ofour organization.

One of these is Scott Darlington, anOttawa member who makes his living inthe high tech sector with IBM. Scottstepped forward and volunteered toserve as our Ottawa IT specialist and inthis regard has put in several lateevenings working on the club’sMacintosh G4. This is the machine thatruns our Rennsport data base and pro-duces our monthly Auspuff magazine soit has to be reliable.

During the past few months it hasdeveloped a few hiccups which havegiven your editors some serious con-cerns. Thanks to Scott, it seems to be onthe mend and with some new hardwarepurchases, the hiccups seem to be abat-ing. Sincere thanks to Mr. Darlington.

Please remember our boat cruise onthe Ottawa river on August 13. TheOttawa social committee has stepped upto the plate and responded to those ofyou who asked for more gatherings thatare not necessarily “car oriented”. This isthe first of these and unless we supportthe committee and show up, then therewon’t be much incentive to continue theeffort. Please feel free to bring alongyour best friends and share a dinnertable with them. With dinner, dancing,and a cruise along the Ottawa, theevening promises relaxation and goodcompany. Give me a call at 613-722-7277or email at: [email protected]

See you at the dock!

reetings all,“Technology: A) A method,process, etc. for handling a specif-

ic technical problem. B) The system bywhich a society provides its memberswith those things needed or desired.”

This is how the Webster dictionarydescribes technology. Lately, however, Iam reminded of what Will Rogers, theAmerican comedian philosopher, said:“How can something you can’t spellever work”. Our web-site has been seri-ously handicapped by a series ofchanges made by our host server.These changes have effectively trashedsome of the registration data stored onthe site. By the time you read this wewill have worked through the problem.

Continuing with the same themePCA National has been slow updatingour membership lists. Once again wecan point to a technical problem. Theyhave been integrating new softwareand I guess that progress is not as fastas planned. Thankfully, Rob Martinkeeps a separate database so you willstill receive your Auspuff renewalnotice on time. This may not be the casefor your PCA renewal. Ultimately,keeping track of your membershiprenewal is the members’ responsibility.The reminder from the head office ishelpful, but please keep track of yourrenewal date. Should your membershipexpire you will be denied access toevents like DEs.

I would like to congratulate AndyEvangelidis on his fine showing at theZone 1 Concours. Andy is a long timePCA member, and Auspuff advertiser

G (Ideal Mechanical), who owns a pristine928. It is great that he could fly theRennsport colours at the Concours wherehe finished 2nd in the 928 group. He mayhave taken first if not for the late entry of a928 once owned by Lee Majors. If you don’tknow whom Lee Majors is, ask someoneover the age of 40.

While we are in the congratulationsmood, I would like to pass on a “news-flash” that just came in from Parade 2004 inTexas. Rennsport has taken second place inthe Community Service Award category, forour Charity Drive 2003. Many thanks to allwho helped make this event a success. Wehave just completed our Charity Drive 2004and, once again, the team led by LouisePearl has done a magnificent job.

The 21st of August will see us reactivateour too long dormant Autocross program.The event will take place in Blainville atPMGs’ Delta track, the same great locationused for the 1999 Porsche Parade. Anautocross is one of the best ways to tune upyour driving and it is also the only PCAevent that allows timing. More details willbe available on the web.

As you probably know, we have had tocancel our Calabogie events. The vote toallow the construction to move forward hasbeen delayed so often that to guarantee ourmembers enough track time we have had tobook another event at Tremblant. On a posi-tive note this 08 of July the Calabogie coun-cil has voted yes to allow the track to goahead. So Calabogie 2005 will be our target.

See you at the Boat Cruise. There are stillsome tickets remaining.

harity Drive!

In spite of major problems (hercomputer crashed a week before theevent with a lot of data lost) Louisemanaged to pull off a tremendous suc-cess. On June 29th, assisted by a greatteam of volunteers and instructors, overa hundred participants and guests

enjoyed their introduction to high per-formance driving at Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant. Even the weather co-operat-ed. In spite of a less than promisingforecast and a few spits of rain whichdidn’t hamper activities the rain heldoff until about five minutes after thetrack closed.

C We raised over $63,000 on site which alongwith funds from the Quebec City Concoursand other fund raising activities broughtthe total on the big cheque (see photos else-where) to $72,000.

Our guests were as usual very compli-mentary – “Wow this is well organized andI really enjoyed myself”; “I was thinking ofselling my (Porsche), now that I understand

what it can do, I’m coming back for more”;“Way more fun than golf, I was here lastyear and I’ll come again for sure”; “I rodewith three different instructors and I could-n’t believe how fast we went. I thought wewere going to die going through that turnat the bottom of the hill but we just breezedthrough it at what felt like a hundred miles

I was deeply touched by the experience. It’snot just the money we raised for researchand treatment; that’s a good thing in and ofitself. Talking to Genevieve Lacroix(Fondation Charles Bruneau, coordinator) Ilearned that the kids had been looking for-ward to this outing for weeks and the antic-ipation had positive effects on their outlookand even their health. Now that’s an even

better thing in my book. You know those ads for Mastercard? I

had the privilege of making a little girlhappy - “Mommy that was the most fun Ihave ever had”. Think about it in the con-text that she’s undergoing aggressivechemo therapy and has a one in five chanceof seeing Christmas. That’s what I callpriceless. I know that everyone who took

an hour. I thought I knew how to drive butI realized it is a real skill”; “That wasthrilling – so fast and yet I felt perfectlysafe, better than Disney”!

La Fondation Charles Bruneau broughtup a group of their kids who carefully stud-ied the cars and picked the ones they want-ed to ride in. I was lucky enough to bepicked by a charming little girl.

My little passenger was delighted! I keptasking her if it was too fast or uncomfort-able. She said “Oh no, this is great, I loveit!” As soon as we got her out of the har-ness, she ran to her parents saying “thatwas the most fun I ever had”. That felt real-ly good. Her folks took so many pictures,they ran out of film.

Ferrari. You can imagine his reaction whenhe learned he’d be going out in a FerrariChallenge race car! Emmanuel asked (as weall did) “are you ok, comfortable, is this toofast”? His passenger told him “ this is funbut all I can see is the tops of trees goingby”.

A quick trip to the pits for someimpromptu (and very fast) seat adjustmentssolved the problem making a very sick kidvery happy.

The aura of “feel-good” wasn’t reservedjust for instructors who took kids for a ride.Nobody could miss the excitement andhappiness evidenced by the Bruneau chil-dren. When you think about it, a charitablecontribution is usually impersonal - acheque sent off to some organization. Thiswas different, quite the opposite in fact. Wewere in close contact with the beneficiaries.

Nothing can beat it. If you missed outthis year, plan to attend the 2005 event.

The day closed with a wine tastingprovided by Robert Mondavi. A glass ofwine was the perfect way to celebrate awonderful day. The wine was quiteextraordinary and much appreciated byall.

While sipping the wine, we gave outwhat seemed like hundreds of doorprizes. I watched with envy as a guypicked up a leather suitcase by PorscheDesign I had been admiring. That giftcarried a retail price of $1,800 and wasbut one of many gifts provided byAutomobiles Lauzon our lead sponsor. The Rennsport Charity Drive dependson sponsors and volunteers to be a suc-cess.

Charity Drive Wins PCA NationalCommunity Service Award:

Earlier this week we got news from BothoVon Bose, who report-ed direct from the 2004Porsche Parade.Rennsport Region wonsecond prize in theCommunity Servicecategory for CharityDrive 2003. In additionto the honor,Rennsport received acash prize of $1,000US! It is warming toknow that our effortshave been recognizedthroughout all thePCA regions in NorthAmerica.

Due to some unforeseen problems it’s likelythat Calabogie Motorsports won’t be readyfor our (re) scheduled event. Paving on arace track needs to “cure” for about tenweeks before use. Paving during the sum-mer can extend the cure time even more

due to the higher temperatures. If you rushthe process, the pavement does not standup and will have to be re-done. This hap-pened at Le Circuit a few years back. Wethink Calabogie will pave and let the sur-face cure until next spring – that will ensurea perfect and durable surface for years.

Since we can’t be sure, the exec hasarranged for a new event at Tremblant onSept 27,28. You should have received anemail from Michel or Nicole Galarneau ask-ing if you accept the change or prefer arefund.

Note that there will be no additionalcost for the Tremblant event for those whohave already registered and paid for the(now cancelled) Calabogie date. ..bob

Le Coinde Québec

Le mois d’août va commencer et nousavons quelques activités socialesprévues pour nous divertir. Mais toutd’abord, je tiens à féléciter à mon tourJohn Hennedy pour son travail sur leconcours d’élégance. Attirer plus de 75Porsches pour une activité dans la villede Québec n’estpas un minceexploit, sanscompter toute lavisibilité incroy-able pour ledéveloppementde Rennsportdans la VieilleCapitale. MerciJohn!

Tout d’abord,Juillet se terminesur une noteexplosive avec latraditionnellesoirée Grands-Feux à Ste-Pétronille. Eneffet, vous êtesles bienvenuspour venir passerun bon momenten bonne compagnie pour admirer lesfeux d’artifices. Cette année c’estl’Espagne qui tentera de nous en mettreplein la vue. Apportez vos consomma-tions, je vous attend vers 18.30heures. Leparking est sécuritaire…

Le weekend du 6, 7 et 8 août se

déroulera au cir-cuit du MontTremblant et je saisque bien des gensde la région deQuébec serontprésents. Bienentendu plusieursse donnent rendez-vous pour le cir-cuit mais plusieursautres y serontsimplement pours’amuser. Si vousvoulez vous join-dre au groupe,vous êtes les bien-venus. Si vous neconnaissez pas lecircuit, c’est unebonne occasionpour le visiter, deplus les soirées

sont toujours bien agréables en gang àTremblant. Pour ce qui est des cours eux-mêmes c‘est complet mais il arrive par-fois qu’on puisse faire l’école des novicesen embarquant à bord de la voiture d’uninstructeur, croyez-moi ça donne unebonne dose d’adrénaline…Ce mois-ci, le souper mensuel est le 10

Août au restaurant L’Escalier du côté deLévis. La vue sur Québec y est magnifiqueet l’an dernier nous y avons eu une trèsbonne expérience. Comme d’habitude nousarriverons vers 18.30hrs pour l’apéro etnous passerons à table vers 19.30hres.

Enfin le 21 août, Gino Thériault nous inviteà une excursion dans la belle région deKamouraska. Il s’agit ici d’une répétitiond’une ballade qu’il avait organisée il y adeux ans et que j’ai trouvée extraordinaire.

Le départ se fait au kiosque info-touristiqueprès des ponts vers 09.00hres, il y a un arrêtdans une boulangerie Allemande àKamouraska et par la suite nous allonsdîner en groupe au restaurant Chez Lucie(non c’est pas ma Lucie). Bien entendu leclou du voyage est la visite du magnifiqueMusée du Domaine qui nous offre unesplendide collection de voitures ancienneset surtout une Porsche 911SC 1965.

Au retour, un arrêt est prévu pour unedégustation de produits du terroir. Je mesouviens qu’il y a deux ans nous n’avionspas eu le temps de nous ennuyer et quenous n’étions même pas fatigués à la fin dela journée tant Gino avait tout bien planifié.C’est un rendez-vous à ne pas manquer!

Enfin, je vous rappelle que pour plus dedétails vous pouvez visiter notre site webau www.rennsport.ca. Bonne route et soyezprudents.

kids were really the big winners. Theweather cooperated for the most part andthe few showers that did occur didn’tdampen any spirits. Look for an in-depthreport and pictures elsewhere in this issue.

Election planning has already started forthe upcoming board elections to be held atthe end of the year. Keep an eye on DerAuspuff for more information in the com-ing months. If you are interested in helpingyour club, consider running for one of theavailable board positions. Our clubstrength is based on the volunteers thatstep up to help and we do need some freshideas and new thinking, so give this someserious thought. If you have any questions,feel free to contact any one of us on theexecutive board. While discussing the elec-tions, it was also decided that we shouldlook at splitting the AGM party and busi-ness meeting portion into two separateevents. By doing this, the dates are easier toplan for, the election timing can be held toreflect the calendar year better, and theAGM "business portion" is likely to be bet-ter attended by members. As such, look foran all business AGM this year (likely inHawkesbury), and a separate "End of YearRSR Party" (Montreal this year) instead ofboth events combined at the same time.

That’s all I have for now, as I need to getback to working on the 944. The month ofJuly this year has no RSR track drivingevents, but August and September will bejam packed, so I need to make sure every-thing is in tip top shape and get those newtires mounted. Until next month, keep theshiny side up and I sincerely hope to seeyou at one of the many upcoming RSRsummer events.

he warm days of summer are uponus and I do hope you have all had achance to thoroughly enjoy your

Porsches by now. What with all the coffeeruns, the track time, the ConcoursD’Élégance, and the many otherRennsport events, there really is noexcuse if you haven’t put on many mileson your favorite car by now.

The June executive meeting was aquick one and was held a bit earlier dueto the fact that many folks were leavingfor the 48 hours of Watkins Glen. Themain topics of the evening covered had todo with the upcoming board electionsand AGM, the new Calabogie racetrack,and a discussion/update about the RSRCharity day.

Let’s start with the track report. Thereis good news and bad news. Good news:we have had two successful track driverevents so far this year with no incidents.Bad news: Calabogie Motorsports Parkwill not be ready for use this year, and assuch those dates have been cancelled.Take heart, it will be open next spring,the new pavement will be fully cured,and we guarantee that we will have datesthere as soon as it opens. Good news: anew two day Tremblant DE date has beenadded to the schedule in late September,and a new autocross event at PMGBlainville has also been added to com-pensate for the lost Calabogie dates.

By the time you read this, the annualRSR Charity day will have taken placeand since I attended, I can tell you that itwas once again a huge success thanks tothe hard work by our club organizers.Fun was had by all, and in the end the

es jours chauds de l’été se sont finale-ment pointés. J’espère que vous sortezvotre Porsche à l’occasion. Il y a les

coffee runs, les cours sur piste, le concoursd’élégance et les autres activités Porsche oùvous pouvez vous joindre à un groupe etajouter du mileage à votre voiture.

La rencontre de juin fut courte carplusieurs d’entre nous partions pourWatkins Glen. Les sujets discutés furent lesélections du conseil administratif, l’AGM, lapiste Calabogie et un résumé de la journéeRSR organisée pour fin de charité.

Commençons d’abord par le rapportconcernant la piste. Bonnes et mauvaisesnouvelles! Bonne nouvelle: Nous avons eudeux sessions sur piste sans incident.Mauvaise nouvelle: La piste de Calabogiene sera pas disponible cette année donccette activité fut cancellée. Par contre, ellesera disponible au printemps prochain carle pavé sera prêt. Bonne nouvelle: Fin sep-tembre, il y aura deux jours d’ajouter aucalendrier pour un cours à Tremblant, ainsiqu’un autocross au PGM à Blainville.Vérifiez le calendrier pour dates respec-tives.

Lors de la lecture de ce résumé, lajournée RSR organisée pour fin de charitéaura déjà eu lieu et je dois vous dire que cefut un succès fracassant. Merci aux organ-isatrices/teurs pour leur travail sansrelâche. Ce fut une journée sensationnelle etles vrais gagnants sont les jeunes enfants.La température plutôt humide n’a pasdiminué l’enthousiasme du groupe. Vérifiezle résumé et les photos dans la revue.

À la fin de l’année aura lieu l’électionpour choisir des nouveaux directeurs/tricespour le conseil administratif. Soyez à l’é-

coute en lisant le Der Auspuff ou le site webpour les renseignements pertinents. Si celavous intéresse d’aider votre club, posez votrecandidature pour un des postes offerts. Laforce de notre club est basé sur les habilités etle dynamiste de nos volontaires. Nous avonsbesoin d’idées nouvelles et de nouveaux vis-ages, alors réflèchissez-y. Si vous avez desquestions, communiquez avec n’importe quelmembre du conseil et il/elle se fera un plaisirde vous informer.

On a cru bon cette année, de diviserl’AGM, côté affaire et côté social en deuxuniques activités. Cela rendrait la planifica-tion plus facile avec un meilleur choix dedates. On aimerait plus de participation denos membres à la rencontre, “côté affaire”.Cette rencontre pourrait avoir lieu àHawkesbury. Le party social RSR fin d’annéeaura lieu à Montréal. Vérifiez votre calendrierou le site web pour les dates futures.

C’est tout pour ce mois, car je dois m’af-fairer à préparer ma 944 pour les cours deconduite. Juillet n’a pas d’activité sur pistepar contre en août et septembre, il y en auratrois en tout. Je dois installer mes nouveauxpneus et m’assurer que tout est en ordre. Jevous dis aurevoir et n’oubliez pas de garderla carrosserie impécable. J’espère vous revoirà une des activités RSR durant l’été.
