President’s Message

I can’t say I blame them though, I am pretty cute. Youknow kind of in that “sheep dog, only a mother canlove” kind of way. It was the Presidents meeting for2016 held in Spokane Washington. I drove 9 hours toget there and probably looked a little dishevelled.

A fun place as the people were pretty friendly. Thehotel, the Mirabaeu Park, was easily 4 stars. I must sayI enjoy such fine accommodations. Growing up theyoungest of 10 siblings, it was often “hand me downs”and “be thankful for what you get.” Let’s just say I’mhappy to leave those memories behind for finer digs.

The meeting was entertaining. We had the Vice-President of Porsche Cars of America, Tom Gorsuch,join us for the event. Of course our local Zone 6President, Tim Hagner, was there as well running themeeting.

Getting down to business, we had introductions of theExecutive Council. These are the people, on thenational level, who run the club throughout the UnitedStates and Canada. They are a very dedicated bunchthat I cannot thank enough for all they do to make PCAthe biggest car club in the world. The hours they spend,some paid and some not, cannot be quantified.

I had the privilege of meeting the current PCAPresident, Caren Cooper, in Bend Oregon four yearsago at the 2013 Presidents meeting. At that time, shewas Vice President under Many Alban. Her picture

matches her personality well, professional, happy andfun to be with. She was a pleasure to be around and iswelcome to visit the Yellowstone Region PCA anytime.

I met Vu Nguyen, the PCA Executive Director, threeyears ago at the Macan unveiling during the 2014 LAAuto Show. Also a very nice person and happy to bedoing what he does, we talked briefly before they letus in to the car show and before the public had anopportunity to see the newest Porsche.

Two other members on the council, Cindy Jacisin, thesecretary, and Aaron Ambrosino, the treasurer, are newto the board and I have yet to meet, but I am thankfulfor them none the less.

Tom Gorsuch, the current Vice President, shared withus many of the current stat’s for the club as a whole. Asalways, the separate distinction between Porsche Carsof America and Porsche AG, that being two separatecompanies. PCA is a car club and Porsche AG is acompany that sells cars. Tom again emphasized PCA’sstance on remaining separate from Porsche AG and thevalue that PCA puts on being able to advertise non-Porsche entities in its magazine, the Panorama, and inour local newsletters.

Tom also mentioned the PCA National website,pca.org, now in its 5th generation, holds a plethora ofinformation from membership applications, region andnational events, classifieds, technical data,

racing news, contacts and of course the previousmentioned Panorama, the most read Porsche magazinein the world.

We discussed many aspects of club organization. Themost important being the 10 million dollar liabilitypolicy PCA has for every “moving car” event ourregions put on. The liability insurance covers thenational and regional staff/volunteers. Tomemphasized the importance of having everyparticipant or observer sign the red liability waiversprovided at every event and wanted to be sure thateveryone prints their name and signs as well.

They Adopted me like aStray Dog



A hot topic that had many in debate was the childliability waiver, which PCA requires both parents toprint and sign the waiver for their child to participatein any PCA event. In theory, a great idea, but in reality,not so easy. Issues from divorce to simply the need forboth parents to be present when signing the waivermade for a difficult discussion. The conclusion was ifyour child intends to participate, and both (biologicaland/or legal) parents are not present to sign the waiver,the waiver will need to be acquired before the eventhappens, both parents will need to sign it and thenreturn the waiver before the event. If the parents aredivorced, and not living in proximity to one another, a“power of attorney” form will need to be signed givingthe local parent the right to sign for the absent parent.

We discussed the reports required for every event, the“Observers Report” and the “Post Event Report,”which are simple one or two page forms that need tobe filled out by separate participants at the event. Wealso discussed the “Incident Report” and theimportance of calling PCA National’s insurance chair,Ken Laborde, immediately when an incident occurs.For those who would like his number, it is 504-561-1011. Please feel free to record his number in yourphone for safety’s sake.

Tim Hagner, the Zone 6 President, gave us informationon past and upcoming events. He discussed the successof the 2015 Zone 6 Regional tour. His enjoyment of itwas unanimous for all those who participated. It wasthe first of its kind for any region, and was a grand tourstarting just outside of Seattle Washington, travellingnorth to Canada, back into the US and travellingthrough every region in the zone. A social tour thatallowed members in different regions to jump on andoff the tour at any time.

As the tour came through the Yellowstone Region lastsummer, I was able to meet more friendly and amazingPorsche Club members and realized the cars may befun, but it’s the people that matter most, just like thePCA motto states. Although a brief 7 hour tour throughour region, Bill Bauer, the tour chair did an awesomejob at organizing a multi-state and multi-country drivethat left everyone in awe. I cannot recommend thisevent enough. The next one should be coming in thesummer of 2017.

Tim discussed this year’s zone event, another first,happening at the Oregon Raceway Park. The event is aDriver Education Event on June 18th and June 19th,2016. The event, in conjunction with Hooked on

Driving, a national organization that holds drivereducation throughout the US, is a group event for allZone 6 PCA members. The event will have instructorsfor each driver and will cost $250 per day (normally$320). Saturday’s event will include breakfast, lunchand dinner, and Sunday’s event will include breakfastand lunch only. In addition to helmets and roll cages, Iwas told that these events are

very safe and that strict rules are instilled to insure thesafety of all who attend. More information will be onthe PCA website and I will forward more as it comesin.

We also discussed marketing from a social mediastandpoint, from Facebook to snapchat and twitter. Wediscussed the expectations between generations: G1(born 1901-1926), Silent (1927-1945), Boomers (1946-1964), Gen X (1965-1980), Millennials (1981-2000) andGen Z (2001-2014). The only conclusion made wastechnology was moving faster than any of us cared tokeep up with and that effective communication, likeanything else, requires multiple channels.

The current Porsche Parade is happening in Jay Peak,Vermont, on June 19 to the 26th, 2016. To register, youcan do so online at 2016parade.pca.org. As always, theopposite side of the country will hold a mini parade,which used to be called Escape, is now called Treffen(a PCA patented term meaning “to meet or run into”).

PCA has now divided the country into three parts,

Zone 6 Drivers Education at Oregon Raceway Park



allowing a Treffen to be held in the “other” 2 parts ofthe country for those who do not want to travel so farfor the week long parade. PCA has a great Youtubevideo on the rebranding of the event (search: PCATreffen North America). The first Treffen will take placeSeptember 7th through 11th, 2016 at Squaw Valley,California, with upcoming events in Austin, Texas andAsheville, North Carolina in 2017.

The Werks reunion was also mentioned, the annualPorsche event, during the Monterey Car Historics weekin Monterey, California, as well as the many TechTactics educational events held throughout largerregions in the country.

The greatest part of the weekend of course was theinteraction amongst presidents. Getting to know othersfrom parts of the county I have never visited was whatmakes being a president so worth-while. It was theCanadians that I had the good fortune of latching onto. I’m not sure if it was the lost and confused look Ihad on my face or the fact that I was willing to belly upto the bar with the best of them.

After the meeting, we made a mad dash to the bar at4:30. Taking 15 minutes to change before dinner, wemet back at the bar to continue embellishing in the finelibations of the evening. Bottles of wine passed quicklyamongst the five of us in attendance. Social hour at 6o’clock came and went quickly as we found ourselvesrushing off to our designated lounge for dinner at 7:00.Conversations continued to flow easily as we enjoyedourselves once again.

After dinner, we rushed back to the bar to finish theevening. It seemed we were old friends trying to makeup for lost time. Two of my newly acquired comradeshad a flight at 5 AM the next morning and decided tosimply stay up throughout the night. Listening to thehotel band and talking into the wee hours of themorning was something I hadn’t done since college. Itwasn’t till the next day I remembered why. But it alsowasn’t till the next day that I realized, I was the “token”American, and, like a newly adopted stray dog, I lovedevery minute of it.

I wasn’t exactly prepared for the unexpected rush, butfortunately I had overestimated my needs. With 18 onthe RSVP list, Jackson Hole Roasters and theYellowstone Region Porsche Club put on quite a show.

With the warmer weather we’ve been having as of late,and the good fortune of the parking gods, Rusty Brownand I were able to find the only two spaces just outsidethe door of our new venue. JH Roasters had gonethrough a remodel since our last gathering, puttingtheir roaster in the basement had opened up a plethoraof space for more tables and chairs. It worked outperfectly as the front door revolved with the frequencyof summer tourists on demand for their morning fix.Having 33 members in attendance was a surprise to usall.

Food was ordered off the menu at an astounding pace.Thanks to the Roasters staff and their accommodatingnature, we were well fed. Libations flowed in the formof Smith’s finest Red and Whites, as well as the beersof choice, Negro Modello, Amstell Light and CoronaE’speciale, all brought to you by everyone’s favoritePCA region.

With special guests appearing from Inland Northwest(Seattle area), Cal and Myra Cathcart showed up earlyto greet us. Bringing their son Chris with them was alsoa pleasant surprise, an avid Porsche enthusiast himself.

Our newest members, Gal and Cheryl Bar-or alsoattended. As the story goes, with nothing else to do,Gal flew down to Salt Lake City with a close friendJohn Lewis to test drive Porsches. Having the time oftheir lives, both Gal and John left that day as newowners of 911’s. Gal’s purchase was a 2016 C4S in LavaOrange. John’s purchase, daring to be different, pickeda C4S in Graphite Blue Metallic. Gal and Cheryl werepretty excited about their new toy. I can’t wait to seeLava Orange in person and I am super excited to haveGal and Cheryl join us on upcoming events. I can onlyhope John and his wife Joy join us also.

Anne Fish and Jim Wunsch were there as well. As Anneand Jim recently moved to Driggs, they handed offCars and Coffee to Alberto and Paola Cerruti. Albertoseemed pretty excited to take on the task and waschomping at the bit to get started. Paola was just asexcited, and if I’m not mistaken, she’s looking forward

to having the house to herself on Saturdays.

It was great to see Bobbi and Jim Moses, as well as Louand Margaret Hochheiser, at the event. Two very busycouples that have been members of the club ever sinceI can remember. As their busy schedules prevent themfrom showing up to all our events, having their friendlyfaces attend made for quite an enjoyable evening.

Marty Quadland and Paula Syzpko brought theirfriends Art and Mary Miller. As always, a joy to seeMarty and Paula after a long winter. Quickly becomingregulars to our events, and owners of

a beautiful Ferrari, it is a pleasure having Art and Maryjoin us as well. They seem to mix quite well with ourcrowd and are welcome any time.

Long lost members Dan and Nancy Clancy made anappearance. Having purchased a new boat off of theSeattle seashore, it’s tough for Dan and Nancy to makeour summer events. But there presence made for aparty that has been long overdue.

Robert Baltensperger came early. The last time we sawRobert was in his 1996 993 Coupe at the 2015 Cars andCoffee. Always great to have Robert join us.

Jim and Nancy Stockhouse were at out springgathering as well, along with Roy Kinsey and his dateConnie, Cornelius Kinsey, Mike Mielke, Dwight andBobbie Reppa, Jeff Neishabouri, our local Porschemechanic Brian Moore, and of course our valiant vicepresident Greg Wallace.

If I missed anyone, please forgive me. I know “two’scompany and three’s a crowd.” I’m not sure whathappens in-between there, but when you get to 33,that’s “a blast.” Thank you to all those who made ourspring fling such a fun time!

Tire inflation specs are based on what the manufacturerconsiders “normal” driving conditions.

But, because of the cars we drive and the Club webelong to, many of us have the opportunity to gobeyond “normal” driving conditions at the trackduring the Driver Education events organized by ourPCA and other auto clubs in the area.

Let’s try to put it in perspective.

Even though we tend to think that properly inflatedtires are perfectly round, they truly aren’t.

Because of the weight they carry (vehicle, fluids andpassenger(s)) , the bottom half of the tire’s sidewallsbulge and the tread flattens where it contacts the road.

But on the top half of the tire, the sidewalls straightenout and the tread curves back into its molded roundshape. This difference in shape between the top andbottom halves of a tire is known as “deflection”.

This deflection will occur with every revolution of thetire, so picture this:

A 225/45/ZR17 tire could be considered a standardfront tire in a Boxster, Cayman or Carrera. Thisparticular tire has a 25 inch overall diameter and afterdoing the math we know that this tire will turnapproximately 807 times every mile. At 25 miles perhour this tire will roll 5.6 times per second, at 70 mph(speed limit on the Interstate) it will roll15.7 times persecond and at 140 mph (speed right before braking forturn 17 at Sebring) the tire will roll a daunting 31.4times every second. This means that the tire ischanging its shape from its unloaded to its loaded stateand back every 3/100th of a second.

This constant tire deflection plus the friction of the tireagainst the road (track) generates tremendous heatbuild-up in the tires. Since the tires are filled with air(or nitrogen) which is a gas, Boyles Law demonstratesthat if the volume of gas is maintained constant, its

pressure is directly proportional to its temperature,therefore your tire pressure will go up as the tire getsused, and the faster the tires spin, the faster thetemperature and therefore the pressure will build up.

The rule of thumb is that the tire’s pressure will increaseby 1 psi for every 10° Fahrenheit increase intemperature, or 1 psi for every 4 minutes of use duringthe first 20 minutes of operation.

All of the above to basically say that the faster you go,the higher your tire pressure will be.

So, when we’re at the track or Auto Cross we mustkeep in mind that we will have a tire pressure increaseas soon as the tires start to heat up. This will alter ourcar’s handling, so we need to carefully monitor thepressure throughout the different sessions during theday.

But how do we know what the ideal pressure is?

We should generally start with the recommendedpressures from the car’s manufacturer. Then, the tireswill tell us if they need more or less pressure.

Most modern high-speed rated tires have specialmarkers to show us the optimal tire patch.

This triangle tells us where the edge of the optimaltread wear should be.

As you can see above, the wear is a little short of themarker, meaning that we have too much pressure.

Dropping a couple of pounds of pressure and thenhitting the track again gives us the optimal patch, asseen below where the edge of the wear is right to thetip of the marker.

Also, always keep in mind that you should neverinflate beyond the tire’s maximum pressure, stampedon its sidewall.
