President’s Message

August 2023

Short column this month. The region has a few less club activities than in previous months. However, one of those events is the bi-annual All Porsche Car Show to be held on Sunday, August 20th at the county government center parking lot on South Central Avenue in Clayton. Registration is now open on Motorsportreg.com. Space is limited, so be sure to register soon. Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend as I will be driving back from vacation that day.

The club has recently introduced a new digital membership card for primary members. As a region president, I’ve had access to this for the last few months, and I really like it.

As a business owner of several businesses, I carry way too many cards in my well-worn wallet and appreciate any opportunity to carry one less card. The digital membership card conveniently lives in the wallet on my iPhone where I have easy access whenever I need it. To get your own digital membership card, click on this link

https://www.pca.org/news/introducing-pca-digital-membership-card

Looking forward, the region’s Porsche St. Louis Fall HPDE will take place in September along with the Treffen Gateway to the West. Read the articles in this Plauderei for updates on these events.

Have a great month!

Thirsty Thursday

Michael’s Bar & Grill

6:30 p.m., August 3rd, 2023

7101 Manchester

Join us for our August Thirsty Thursday as we head for Michael’s Bar & Grill on Manchester, just west of McCausland. There is plenty of parking on the south side of Manchester across from Michael’s. Just be careful crossing the street. Manchester can get a little busy. In talking about the traffic on Manchester, I once saw a church billboard that read - “Faith is makng a left turn on Manchester”.

We’ll be ordering off the menu, so come with an appetite.

As always, there is no official meeting or agenda. Just an evening of sharing great food and beverages surrounded by your Porsche friends. Reservations are required, so look for the event on www.msreg.com/Aug-T-T to RSVP. Please make your reservations by August 1st so we can save your place around the table. See you there!

CPG Drive & Dine Emmett’s Kitchen Fayette, MO, Aug. 12

Our Mid-Missouri members take to the road on Saturday, August 12th for a late afternoon drive to one of their favorite flavorful destinations, Emmet’s Kitchen in Fayette, MO. Our meeting point in Columbia, MO will be the Boone Fire Protection parking lot in Columbia, MO. Please arrive at our departure point by 3 p.m. so we have plenty of time to sign waivers and have a brief drivers’ meeting. We need to depart promptly at 3:30 for the drive to Fayette.

For more information or to RSVP, reach out to Rob Fleming at robfleming1@juno.com

Headed South?

Be Careful

If your travel plans call for you to head south down I-55, it might be a good idea to pack a little extra caution along with your luggage. According to a recent article by Consumer Affairs website, you’re headed straight for the most hazardous city for drivers in the nation - Memphis, TN. The website crunched the accident statistics to find that Memphis is the undisputed king for bad drivers and accidents. According to the numbers, Memphis highways see the highest proportion of fatal crashed caused by bad driving - 32.3 crashes per 100,000 people. And unfortunately those crashes end in an even more dismal fatality rate - 37.9 deaths per 100,000 people. To make matters worse (Can they get any worse?) Yup - sure can. Memphis is near the top of the list of drunk driving fatalities - #2 for drunk driving fatalities per capita.

And you’re not out of the woods if you make it past Memphis - #2 on the list is Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

In case you want to know, St. Louis fall #5 on the list behind Memphis, Baton Rouge, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Macon, Georgia. On the other end of the list, Green Bay, Wisconsin top the list for the BEST drivers (Considering my experience, I wouldn’t expect bet on that.)

Reeves Callaway 1947 - 2023

If you are a long-time sports car fan, you probably know the name Reeves Callaway (actually Ely Reeves Callaway to be exact). Reeves Callaway is to Corvettes what Ruf and Manthey are to Porsches - one of the best known performance car builders. Callaway died from injuries he received from a fall at his Newport Beach, California home.

Callaway was born with a golden golf club in his hands - his father founded Callaway Golf - maker of premiere golf clubs. But Reeves preferred cars over golf greens. He started adding turbochargers to cars in his garage in 1977. By the mid-80’s, GM had Callaway manufacturing turbo kits for Corvettes boosting Corvettes from 240 horsepower stock to more than 380 hp after Callaway was done with them. Callaway branched out to aero kits for cars, producing the factory Corvette LeMans racers in 1994 and 1995. Even today, Callaway Cars continues to concentrate on upgrades for Corvettes including a supercharger kit for the new C8 Corvette. Reeve’s son, Peter, has taken the lead at Callaway Cars to carry on his father’s legacy.

CPG Mitchell Car Collection Drive & Dine

A very well executed event was set up by Boonville native Ed Cundiff for our region’s PCA members. Since there were 3 groups from the St. Louis area, the tour unofficially started at Allen and Kim Maddy’s residence in SW Columbia.

After a short visit with Gary and Jean Bachman’s spanking new 911T, the group met up with the remaining attendees at the official event meet up point at the Boone County Fire Protection District Headquarters parking lot conveniently located just off I-70. After a brief driver’s meeting with route information, the group traveled west via US 40, which after a 30 minute drives, drops us in historic downtown Boonville immediately after crossing the Missouri River.

First stop was the Boonville Visitors Center to purchase tickets for the Mitchell Car Collection. The Visitors Center includes the River, Rails, and Trails museum featuring local area history with emphasis on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. We then drove all of one block to the Mitchell Car Collection which is the largest collection of its kind.

The company began as a wagon manufacturer making wagons, buggies and carts which became known for their rugged design and sturdy construction. The company began in Chicago and southeast Wisconsin - Kenosha and Racine. The company expanded to also produce bicycles, motorcycles and automobiles. Mitchell products were exported worldwide in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At it’s height during the 1920’s, the company employed

10

more than 10,000 workers. Eventually, the Mitchell Motor Car Company was swallowed up by Nash Motors which later joined forces with Hudson Motors to form American Motors (AMC). We received an introduction to the collection by Lewis Miller, a direct descendant of the founding Mitchell and Lewis families who owned and operated the Mitchell - Lewis Motor Car Company. Lewis maintains the items in the collection and operates a restoration shop on the premises to bring barn-find Mitchells discovered in sheds and barns back to

Our next stop was dinner at the 128 year old Hotel Frederick in downtown Boonville. The hotel is listed as a state historical landmark and is complete with period furnishings. We all enjoyed an excellent dinner, and it was a great way to wrap up our drive and automobile museum tour.

life. We were turned loose to view the cars at our own pace with our host always nearby to provide fascinating details and answer our many questions.

Fall Treffen Gateway to the West

September 20-24, 2023

Bringing Plans to Life

Registration for our Treffen Gateway to the West is about to close or has just closed, depending on when you are reading this. National held registration open far longer than originally planned due to the sluggish response in registration, and even then, registration, which closed on July 31st, was significantly below original expectations.

When you begin putting an event like this together, you start with an estimate of how many people you will be hosting...how many will need lodging...how many participant’s shirts and gifts will be needed,...how many meals will have to be prepared. That number is usually based on the average attendance of the last couple events, and so that is the number we have been working with for the last 4 months. But when the numbers struggle to reach expectations, events have to be trimmed...room reservations cancelled...meals cancelled...tours consolidated and some cancelled...and as a result the number of volunteers needed also ends up being slimmed down. We had drawn up our plans over the last couple months, and now we’re in the process of bringing those plans in line with the number of people who have registered to come to St. Louis. It’s time to start bringing our plans to life.

Many of you have probably expected to hear from Tourmeister Ric Smith about your tour volunteer assignments. Unfortunately, Ric’s work has been delayed because of changes in the number of tours and the number of volunteers needed for the tours that will go ahead as planned. With the close of registration, the changes in the tour schedule and numbers will stop, and Ric will finally be able to reach out to his tour volunteers, if he hasn’t already done so.

The number of ‘administrative’ or Ritz Carlton support volunteers will not change that much. I will be reaching out to my Ritz volunteers within the next week to confirm your job assignments and to see if you plan on attending events like the Welcoming Reception and Volunteers Social. So if you have volunteered, look for my email.

We are all a little sad that more fellow PCAers haven’t chosen to discover all that St. Louis has to offer, but that will give us more opportunities to better serve those who are coming, Let’s show the nay sayers that their ideas about St. Louis are wrong! Let’s show them all they have missed!

Everything Old is New Again

To commemorate its 75th Anniversary, Porsche reached back in history to help showcase its future - enter the 357 Speedster. Porsche stylists started with the 1000 horsepower electric powertrain from the 718 GT4 e-Performance race car and wrapped it with a modernization of the classic 356 body lines. The Vision 357 Speedster as Porsche calls it debuted at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Vision 357 uses an electric motor at each axle to connect its 1073 horsepower drivetrain to the ground. The electric motors get their juice from an 82kWh battery pack that is divided into 3 sections for better weight distribution. The electric drivetrain is built on a 718 GT4 Clubsport chassis.

The Vision 357 Speester uses an old-style tonneau cover to cover the passenger side of the open cockpit to reduce some aero drag at speed. In front of the driver is a transparent instrument cluster that basically disappears to show a carbon fiber dashboard, but the instruments come to life when the power is turned on.

There is little doubt that the Vision 357 is basically just a design project for the Porsche designers and engineers. Don’t write that check yet - this one probably won’t make it to the assembly line, but it sure does show an interesting combination of the old-and-new.

If you’re interested, Porsche has announced that the Vision 357 Speedster will make the trip to run a few laps at the Rennsport Reunion at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca the last week of September.

Is Audi Going Rogue?

Every auto maker is struggling to bring EV power to it’s model line. The VW family of car companies is not immune from the EV gremlins. For example, Porsche had planned to have an EV version of the Macan in dealer showrooms by this time, but there is a lot more to making an EV than putting a battery and electric motors in a vehicle. One of the biggest challenges is the unique computer software needed to control the flow of battery power and control the battery recharging. Porsche has been nagging parent company VW to get its software division on track to deliver the required control software, but for some reason, the software continues to be a major stumbling block to the future introduction of new EV models.

Porsche has been hedging its bets a little with its emphasis on the development of synthetic liquid fuel, so while the EV software delay is a pain in the backside, Porsche can continue to focus on the future by converting models to the possible use of synthetic carbon neutral fuels.

But Porsche’s sister marque, Audi finds itself in a tougher position. Audi had cast its future to EV vehicles and had basically disassembled its internal combustion engineering group. The nagging delay in control software has become a threat to Audi’s future plans. According to the time line VW had drawn up for its family of brands, Porsche was given the assignment to develop a basic battery and drivetrain platform that would become the foundation of large EV models rolling off all the assembly lines of all VW family brands. VW’s long range plans called for Porsche to engineer what was to be called the SSP EV platform (Scalable Systems Platform). Then the various VW brands could modify...stretch...shrink...do whatever they needed to the SSP to fit the electric battery and drivetrain within the bodywork that the marque designed. According to the original VW time line, the SSP platform was scheduled to beginning rolling off the assembly lines late in 2025 / early 2026. But even the very best powertrain designs are worthless if there is no computer software to control the basic functions of the drivetrain.

And again, the VW software group is shooting blanks at the future. The software developers just can’t seem to get a handle on how to make things work. According to VW insiders, the software won’t be ready until 2029 at the earliest.

That time line simply wouldn’t work for Audi that had scheduled the new EV Audi Q8 e-Tron to hit showrooms in 2026 with the A8 e-Tron to follow closely in 2027. Audi reportedly has grown tired of waiting for VW software to deliver. What’s a company to do?

17

Is Audi turning to Chinese engineering?

Several European and Asian auto magazines are reporting that Audi has flipped VW the bird and is turning to Chinese companies to supply its battery packs / drivetrains/ control software. According to magazine reports, SAIC, the Chinese-government owned auto manufacturer, has announced that it has inked agreements to supply EV drivetrains to Audi. SAIC will reportedly supply Audi with several different sized EV power platforms to power future Audi models.

Is Audi really tired of waiting on parent company VW to deliver? If the reports are true, this could indicate a major shift in Audi philosophy. For decades, Audi has proudly bragged about its engineering ability to produce innovative, quality vehicles. Could Audi be handing a big portion of that engineering base to the Chinese company? Is Audi giving up on its engineering base and becoming a design studio and auto assembler?

Audi is not talking, but SAIC is proudly prancing out its supply agreements with Audi as a major “strategic cooperation” move to speed up EV development in both Europe and in China. It will be very interesting to see how this works out, and how VW will respond to having Chinese engineering under its corporate tent.

Bye-bye Challenger / Charger

Say good-bye to the Dodge Charger and Challenger with internal combustion engines. Don’t go to a Dodge dealer and expect to find a new Charger or Challenger on the lot. As of the end of July, the only ICE Chargers and Challengers that will be made will be made-to-order cars. The last Dodge muscle cars were already rolling off the assembly line as “Last Call” models - inferring that production was being wound down. Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis says Dodge will continue to turn out the liquid fuel powered muscle cars as long as orders come in and deposits are turned over to the ordering dealers. When will production stop? - “Whenever the orders run out,” but it’s fairly safe to say that the last Dodge muscles cars with liquid fuel engines will roll into history before the end of the year holidays.

Look for production of electric Dodge Chargers to start production soon after the production line can be changed over after the end of ICE production.
