Happy Halloween from Pahrump, NV! Somehow that seems to fit together like Porsche and racing. With the weekend just ended and the paddock’s mad scramble home from Spring Mountain Raceway (SMR) to costumes and candy, it’s my honor to summarize the results and reflect on our first racing weekend on Spring Mountain’s new track. Charleston Peak, 2.7 mile configuration. Last spring Joe Wiederholt and I had the good fortune to be driven around the 3.2 mile configuration of Charleston Peak in a truck with Springs Mountain’s marketing lead. At that point, the surface was down, curbs in place, but that was it. No paddock, no facilities, no fuel, no water, no track walls, and no shade!. What was impressive though, was the track. Given the condition of the site, I assumed we’d be running the often used Mansell C track in October. As the summer progressed though, SMR continued to “suggest” that we run the new track in October, and it became clearer and clearer to Joe that we were going to run the new track. SMR indicated they would have enough creature comforts in place to give us a full race weekend, while not complete with all the bells and whistles, at least they committed to cover the basics, and, importantly, give us the much needed Friday practce and test day. That sealed the deal. When we began to arrive on Thursday afternoon, it was clear that SMR went the whole 9 yards in the prior month or so to give us a functioning paddock, facilities, meeting room tent (with A/C!). While race cars had to contest with workers and work trucks, thankfully it all worked out. What was most impressive though was the paddock organization. Given that it was a large empty black top, John Momeyer, Scott Craig, Joe Wiederholt and others knocked out a well organized sectioning of the this black top to create lanes with hundreds of cones and as trailers, trucks and transports arrived, what could have been truly chaotic, was organized and smooth. Way to go gentlemen! 9
Spring M ountain On Friday, with plenty of run sessions for everyone, all the driver’s went to work learning the track, as well as understanding the meaning of a dust bowl white out, even with a tire or two off the surface. Based on the results of the weekend, it was clear that everyone took the process of learning the track seriously. Remarkably and against all odds, there were very few contact incidents all weekend. Not only is that a rarity in any racing event, anywhere, but to have that result at a new track speaks to the quality of all of our drivers, and their ability and willingness to coexist in a challenging track environment. Saturday kicked off at the Driver’s Meeting, with John and Joe putting particular attention on the race rules of the road, and as always setting the goal of a clean, no contact weekend. And we essentially got one. The registration turnout for the event was excellent, given the distance to SMR. We even had excellent weather, cool mornings, warm afternoons, and no wind. The stars lined up for us! Literally, given the SpaceX rocket launch overhead on a beautiful Thursday night. The first run group on Charleston Peak was the 36 car strong Orange race group warm up. That’s a big field on a 2.7 mile, 17 turn, sometimes narrow, short straights, new track. What helped was Todd Trimble’s Trophy Motorsport drivers having run drive days on the track over the prior month or two, and they led out the first few sessions of run groups to show the line. Thanks Todd, Nick Khilani, Rob Walker, and the rest of the Trophy gang. In recent years one of the best features of a Spring Mountain event is hosting the POC Race Clinic, directed by Dwain Dement. There were 19 driver’s registered for this clinic, a good number and another indication of the future healthy prospects for POC racing. Dwain, along with Mike Monsalve helping coaching, gave this group of aspiring racers a weekend of race prep, simulated passing practice, race starts, racecraft input, passing protocols, and ending with a full race. As with the Red and Orange race groups, the Racer’s Clinic ran without incident and based on the quality of the Sunday afternoon Photos: Luis Vivar 10

Spring M ountain race, this group is going to give the long term POC racers something to watch out for in the near future. Many thanks to POC Chief Driving Instructor Dwain Dement for another successful Racer’s Clinic. The first race of the weekend was the Orange Cup race group, 36 cars in all, led out by Anders Hainer, and POC racing at Charleston Peak begins. There are several very tight, narrow corners on the track and putting 36 similarly powered cars on this track was going to be, mildly put, a challenge for the drivers. And what a race it was. In BSR, Anders came home first, followed by Rob Walker and Chris Bason, with lots of close racing from 4-8, Nick Khilani, Ryan Moore, Chris MacDuff, Scott Craig and John Momeyer. Don Kravig took home first in GT5, beating Aspasia Zouras, both slicing through parts of the BSR field, with Nick Rouzier taking third place. Randy Bergum won the uncontested GT7 class, as did Scott Matz, winning EX uncontested. In the CSR race Paul Barnes won, Douglas Volder in second and Ken Waterhouse rounding out the podium. The second race on Saturday was the Red Cup race group, GT1, GT2, GT3 and GT4. A total of 19 cars rolled out with the GT1/2 class starting first, followed by the GT3/4 groups not long after. A clean race ensued, and Mike Monsalve won GT1 and overall from Alexandra Hainer in second, and then Steve Parker in third. GT2 was won by Roland Schmidt, with Bryan Van Noy in second, in a field of 2. In GT3, Brett Gaviglio put the stamp on the race with his well deserved first POC win since 2018, with Kevin Roush second, and Eben Benade third. In GT4, Jim Salzer took the win, from Chet Kolley and Phil Town. Over the two days in the Time Trial (TT) run groups, Open Passing and Point by Passing, these drivers also learned the track well, logging improved times throughout the weekend. By Sunday the Open Passing TT group really began to show faster lap times. Leading the group was Mike Avitt (Modified 2), who posted a 16
2.05.7 on Saturday, which turned out to be the best time overall in both TT run groups. Congrats Mike. On Sunday, Danna Van Noy (GT2), posted her best lap of the weekend, and the fastest lap on Sunday in the TT groups, at 2.06.039, closely followed by Mike Avitt (Modified 2), Bob Gartland (GT3), and Rich Gildersleeve (GT2) each running in the 2.06’s as well. Of note in the open passing TT group was Craig Booth (Modified 4) who ran a 2.12.9, Vivek Hazari (Modified 4) ran a 2.14.6, and Teddy Landau in an MX5 turned a 2.10.7. These are all very good times on what are essentially street tires. Also, in the BSR class cars in the TT, Terrence Smith and Daniel Rozenblatt ran 2.19.5 and 2.20.6 respectively. For the BSR class cars these lap times would put them solidly in the Orange Cup racing group pack. Well done gentlemen. In the TT Point by Passing run group Mark Leger (GT2) ran the best time over the weekend at 2.08.11, Jack Apelbaum (Stock 3) was impressively just behind with a 2.08.67, and Angela Avitt (Modified 2) next overall at 2.13.5. There were a number of other notable sessions too. Brian Cooner and Edgar Mirzoian (both Modified 4) running 2.18.15 and 2.18.36 respectively. That’s good running in a Modified 4 car. On to race day Sunday for the Orange Cup, Red Cup, and Racer’s Clinic. The Orange Cup race was, again, tight, competitive AND incident free. Kudo’s to all the BSR, GT5, GT7, CSR, and EX racers. In the BSR race, the podium took a different shape than Saturday, except for the top step, going to Anders Hainer, while in this race, Scott Craig moved up from Saturday to take second, and newcomer to BSR racing in 2022, Riley Giacomazzi took third. Congratulations Riley, who’s taking up the mantle of under 20 year olds making an impact on POC. Chris Bason and Ryan Moore rounded out the top 5. In GT5, Don Kravig won his second race of the weekend, with Aspasia Zouras in second and Neal Rouzier in third. In GT7, Randy Bergum again won uncontested. Scott Matz won in the EX class, also running uncontested. And in the CSR spec race Paul Barnes won from Doug Volder, with Robert Thacker in third. 17
Spring M ountain In the Red Cup race the podium result was the same as Saturday, with Mike Monsalve winning both GT1 and overall, with Alexandra Hainer second and Steve Parker third. In GT2 Roland Schmidt won again, with Bryan Van Noy second. In GT3, the tables turned from the Saturday race between Kevin Roush and Brett Gaviglio, with Kevin grabbing first with a typical quick race pace, while Brett started 5th, only to roll forward to second place. James Buck capped a very good weekend of results with a solid third. The best racing of the weekend in the GT field was the GT4 race Sunday. 5 cars ran together, a half second of lap times between them, and it went down to the wire for the podium. Tom Stone won out from Chet Kolley and then Jim Salzer, with Jim Steedman and Phil Town in the mix all race long as well. Well done to the whole GT4 field all weekend. The last race of the weekend was the traditional Racer’s Clinic full race. This gave the clinic racers the opportunity to experience a real race, at sprint race length. Given the range of car classes running, the race spread out over the 2.7 miles, with GT2 through BSR classes, and even a Modified 4 car (Brian Cooner). Andy Sloane (GT2) won the race, while second went to Austin Bowen (GT4) via a last corner pass of Grant Murray (GT3), finishing in third. In the tight BSR race, William Robinson won from Alan Watts and Adam Abrahms, all 3 running 2.21’s and 2.22’s for some tight clean racing. Well done to all the Racer’s Clinic drivers, putting on an incident free clinic! Let’s not forget Saturday night and our traditional POC hosted dinner at the SMR clubhouse. It appeared to be the largest turn out ever and it was indeed a festive event. The catering group put on a great spread and, as usual, the SMR staffed bar made for some “happy” racers. John Momeyer and Scott Craig pulled some swag from the POC Online Store and gave away great gear, pink hats and all! Thanks John and Scott. During the evening even the casual observer would see that the POC is made up of driver’s who are not only serious racers but also colleagues and friends. As I stayed on to the end, the night left me with such a positive feeling. I can’t wait for the next big off-track event at the January Banquet. 18
A special thanks to the SMR personnel, who stepped up to provide good management, keeping the race cars and race scene safe and separate from the many workers on Friday and Saturday. When I saw the construction situation Friday morning I thought we’d surely have some trying moments. However, all things considered, the whole weekend went smoothly. Have a great event at Willow Springs to close out the year!

Our Graduation to Cup and Community
The Spring Mountain Racer’s Clinic by Adam Abrahms & Alan Watts
Each of us had long shared a passion for Porsche, each separately, and occasionally together, sporadically enjoying various track days with POC and other organizations. Eventually we both bought new 991.2s (Adam a Turbo and Alan a GTS) and decided to pick up where we left off and have some fun opening the throttle up and doing some PDS track days. POC made it easy to sign up/renew our memberships to get back on track again with the PDS events through the Festival of Speed special pricing offer. Our PDS instructors always made us feel comfortable while helping us advance our skills and gain confidence. Maybe, equally important, they shared with us their experiences with the Club and the community. It drew us to come back more on a regular basis and advance through the PDS program, meeting more people along the way. We advanced into Time Trials and thought it was perfect for us. Competitive, fast, simple. We were easily getting our speed fix but the addiction only grew both because we were competing (mainly with each other as often our S3 class was pretty small) but also because we were getting to know more members of the Club and more cup racers. Talking with them made cup racing seem even more exciting, not just because of the nature of the wheel-to-wheel racing but because we observed their comradery before and after the races. We continued to enjoy Time Trials through the pandemic but in the second half of 2021 decided (Alan before Adam) to dip our toes a little deeper into the water by putting our 991.2s back on the street and buying Boxster Spec cars. Our mutual decision was part encouragement from others in the Club for reasons of safety, skill advancement and competition and equally out of concern for the potential impact and damage to our cars – Alan bending a couple of GTS centerlock wheels and Adam watching the BaT 991.2 Turbo auction prices rise at the same time cars were going into the wall at Sonoma certainly pushed things along. Whatever the reasons, after a couple of events with the Boxster Specs we were even more hooked – deciding 2022 would be the year we got our cup licenses.
35
We attended our first Racers Clinic at Buttonwillow in March. As likely with many first class attendees, it was intimidating, intense and exciting. By the end of that weekend we knew we made the right decision to pursue our licenses; having learned that what we didn’t know about racing far exceeded what we thought we did and having enjoyed the hell out of our first taste of wheel-to-wheel racing.
Spring Mountain and our second clinic could not come soon enough ...and did not disappoint. Our second clinic was full of some firsts. In addition to having a class almost half-full with new racers in their first clinic, we were treated to a brand new track – Charleston Peak. We started the clinic vowing to Chief Driving Instructor Dwain Dement to be the best Spring Mountain Charleston Peak clinic class ever – and we succeeded, at least until POC hosts the second clinic there next year. The clinic also incorporated video for the first time – as Dwain, along with fellow instructors Mike Monsalve and Duane Selby, were able to supplement their excellent instruction by use of video clips of prior races to show good, safe starts, passes and maneuvers and also, well, not so good ones, including the unnecessary and unfortunate carnage that results. Dwain, Mike and Duane also artfully interweaved race craft instruction with emphasis on how POC racers are a community; a community where reputation, respect and responsible driving are always more important than gaining the next position. Of course, the classroom time was followed by education in action, as all clinic racers were able to put the instruction to use on the track with valuable exercises on driving offline, passing and practice starts. It was certainly interesting doing the clinic on a track that we had not been on before but with the way POC progresses drivers up through PDS and Time Trials, experience allowed the clinic racers to quickly understand the track more than we would have without the progression along the way. No Racers Clinic would be complete without a practice race to culminate the weekend and Charleston Peak did not disappoint. While the newness of a technical track and verve of the 36
racers left almost all of the clinic racers finding some fine Nevada dirt off track at least once during the race, the training and education provided ensured everyone reentered the track safely and finished the race, further prepared to continue to progress through the Club. All in all, POC hosted 19 racers in the clinic, many of whom graduated with their full dot. Of note, 11 of the 19 racers were driving Boxster Specs so it looks like POC’s largest and most competitive class soon will be even larger and more competitive. Graduating the Racer’s Clinic and getting the full red dot is exciting for both of us but the journey that got us here has made it even more meaningful. POC’s process of bringing drivers along and getting them up to speed (pun intended) smoothly works. The POC process doesn’t allow you to jump into racing right away but rather leads drivers through several levels of learning where everyone aquires the necessary skills to eventually compete safely. In addition to learning all of the rules one also acquires a sense of community...and this is what makes the POC so special. We are both so happy to be cup racers now, but we’re even more excited for the years to come where we can continue to enjoy the community that POC has created. We’re looking forward to joining the pack in 2023.

MutualMatz
by Andrew Weyman
I interviewed POC members, father and son Don and Scott Matz, individually. I asked lots of questions. What struck me most was that they both described their on-track and off-track relationship using the same nouns. My overall takeaway? When you add up mutual love, respect, admiration, understanding, trust and a shared 1979 Porsche 911SC your total is Mutual Matz. Don and Scott have been sharing their race car for several years. It’s been an interesting journey from the very beginning. Don joined the POC in 1999 and has served on the Board, as PDS Chairman and as Editor of the very prestigious publication known as Velocity. Scott joined the club in 2017 when his dad gifted him with a free day at the track. Both drivers have attended almost every event together since Scott got his membership card.
43
Don purchased his Porsche on a whim for $16,500 at the Pomona Swap Meet in 1995. It started out as a standard 911SC, 3.0l aluminum block with a sun roof. Cherry. Exposed to rain twice in its life. After he owned the car for a short time, Don aked his mechanic, Calos Granados “How can I go fast and not get a ticket?” Carlos responded, in his Columbian accent, “We’re going to the track next weekend. Do you want to come along?” Don did...and Don loved it. But then the car slowly began to morph. Slicks, adjustable sway bars, WEVO shifter, stripped interior, wide body, 17” wheels, dual cylinder brakes, fuel cell, lightweight doors, rear wing, 8 motors and 7 transmissions are just some of the modifications and a bit of history about the car. Several dents and dings have yet to been addressed and serve as reminders of on-track situations to be avoided. After he ripped out the leather interior, Don realized there was no turning back. One evening, after the carnage had begun, Don’s wife, Sue, noticed him staring at the car as it sat in their garage. Sue teased that she remembers the time Don used to look at her that way. He never aspired to become a racer but, well, you know the slippery slope. Don told me, “Once it’s in your blood, it’s forever.” Years later, Don gave Scott a gift certificate at Christmas for a day at the track. Little did either of them know the larger implications. Don lives in Claremont. Scott flies in from his home in Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. “We get to spend great time together. It wouldn’t have happened if not for the car,” Don shared. Both Don and Scott have backgrounds in graphics and design and they both love to race. Don told me, with a smile in his voice, that Scott enjoys the people and Don enjoys sharing the expense. Det
Scott mused that racing is hard to explain to someone if they haven’t experienced it. He was hooked the first time he was behind the wheel at a PDS event. “Racing has taught me a great deal about myself. I came into the game several years ago thinking it would Photos: Don Matz & Luis Vivar 44
Sket
be a lot easier than it is. I’ve grown to respect the sport in ways I didn’t know existed. As a result, I have learned to be more patient in life than I had been prior to racing. I also believe racing has taught me to make informed and educated decisions as a business owner, faster than I had prior.” Scott told me he was impressed and inspired by the fierce competition and respect drivers display toward one another. “Our car is its own animal,” Scott said. “Over the years, several trusted shops have had their hands on 707. We’re grateful for each group, from Don at Precision Motion and Vali at VALI Motorsports to Kevin at GAS Motorsport and Steve Parker and their commitment to keeping us on the track. I have utmost gratitude for them all.” Don and Scott credit the POC with bringing them together in profound ways. With the support of their spouses, they are constantly learning from one another. Scott told me, “I feel incredibly fortunate and honored to be his son.” To have him as a father has been an incredible gift.” Don shared that his relationship with his son Scott has deepened and has become even more meaningful now that they share their love of racing. Scott went on, “Last, but not least, “Racing has become an impenetrable bond for my dad and me, something I never knew would happen, and I’m so grateful for it.” Mutual love, respect, admiration, understanding, trust and a shared 1979 Porsche 911SC. Mutual Matz.
