Note from the Editor: In May and June my wife and I drove across the country and back...something that I always wanted to do. My God Texas is big! On the way home, we stopped in Tucson to see Leonard Schenkle and his wife Maia. Leonard raced with us and served on our BOD for many years. He finally hung up his helmet and moved from SoCal after a long history of racing with SCCA and POC. Some of the best racing I’ve ever done was when I was trying to catch that guy. One day I’ll write a book and call it Chasing Leonard Schenkle. In this issue, Ana Predescu (who passed up walking at her college graduation in order to race) covers the action at Utah while Steve Town, our PDS Chairman, reports on the action at the Streets earlier in the month. There are also a couple other articles we’re sure you’ll find of interest and Luis Vivar, once again, provides us with great photo coverage. Enjoy Don

Utah

Utah Rocks! Ana Predescu

June 13, 2021. The day of my Cup Race at Utah Motorsports Park, but also the day of my college graduation. Can you guess which one I prioritized? If you know me, you know that I am usually taking my engineering midterms or finals in the trailer prior to qualifying during most race weekends -its kind of what I am known for. Finally, that won’t have to be the case anymore. That is, until I decide to go to Grad school… On to more pressing matters, POC’s return to Utah Motorsports Campus! According to Joe, the last time we had an event at this track was September of 2013. This track is quite nostalgic to me because it holds one of my earliest memories of watching my dad race. He was competing in the NASA national championship about ten or so years ago when UMC was called Miller Motorsports Park. I remember this was before Vali Motorsports existed – but rather it was just me, my mom, and my dad. I was changing my dad’s tires and checking his pressures while everyone else had full on race teams. My dad was racing on tires that his opponents were throwing away and we were honestly there just to have fun. My dad ended up winning the National Championship in his class and he thanked me on TV for being his pit crew – my 3 seconds of fame. Fast forward to a decade later and now I am the one racing …and winning. On to the details of the race weekend, we had one run group consisting of the red and orange racers combined. Which meant 6

I got to race alongside my boxster friends again, only this time I had a few hp on them with my 996. On Saturday we ran the full course configuration and Sunday was the outer-loop configuration. I personally liked the full course better because I had never ran that configuration before and it made the race seem to go by so fast. One lap was ~4.5 miles consisting of 23 turns! Unfortunately, I couldn’t be too attentive or explain in detail what was happening in the orange group as we were all on the track at the same time. However, James McLoughlin (my protégé) told me he had some great battles with Anders Hainer and Matt Hollander. I think we all could’ve deduced that was the case without even watching the race. For the boxsters: Anders, James, and Matt finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in race 1 and 3, but Scott Craig was able to snatch 3rd place from Matt Hollander in race 2. There were some great battles mid pack as well between Joe Wiederholt, and John Momeyer who were running just tenths of a second pace of each other. Towards the back of the pack, brother in-laws Jim Mcloughlin and Herb Cunitz were having some friendly back-and-forth competition. Moving on to GT4, Brad Keegan and I found ourselves amidst GT3 and GT2 cars which made for quite the challenging race. On Saturday, I was able to keep Greg Gilson (GT3) behind me at the start which gave Brad the challenge of having to battle a new 718 GT4 Clubsport in his older aircooled 911. Sunday, however, was not as easy. The Cup Car driver who qualified behind me passed me at the start and Brad who was on my tail for the entire duration of the race also had a GT3 car behind him for most of the race. We were all running at the same pace. I tried everything in my power to get by the cup car and pull away from Brad but there was just nothing I could do, especially upon turn exits or straightaways. It was 12 laps of just trying not to hit the car in front of me while still trying to obtain the best runs possible and keeping everyone else behind me. At the end of both races, I was able to get 1st followed by Brad in 2nd. In GT3 Duane Selby and Eben Benade got 1st and 2nd place, followed by Nathan Johnson in 3rd for race 1 and Greg Gilson in 3rd for race 2. I actually got to see the majority of their race as I was just a few seconds behind them. In GT2 Alex Hainer, Mike Monsalve, and Eric Olberz were all running extremely close while also catching up to some of the GT1 cars. Mike was able to snatch a win on both days. In GT1 Al Tiley, Tom Mueller, and Charlie Persico came in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd on Saturday. In race 2, Les Long jumped into the mix and had quite the battle for 2nd against Tom. All in all, this was probably one of my favorite race weekends – considering everything that happened. All the sessions were very clean, even though it was a new track for many. Especially with having two different configurations to learn for a single weekend, everyone seemed to adapt quite well which made for a fun yet challenging event. Can’t wait to revisit UMC in the future! 8

Streets

The

By Steve Town

The Streets of Willow is always an excellent test for driver and machine and this past month, our Taste of POC PDS and TT event was all of that and more. We had a terrific group of drivers, with a wide range of experience, and Porsche street cars of all types, other manufacturer’s cars, and as usual the weather, combined for a memorable weekend. Few tracks offer as many learning components as Streets. It’s such a unique combination of a relatively short lap length, good sight lines in and out of the car, elevation changes, a wide variation of corner styles, narrow track, and short but eye-opening straights. Add to that changing directions from CW Saturday to CCW Sunday, and you have a fantastic track to learn, to challenge yourself, and your car.

Streets

The

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Don Matz, for your many years of PDS stewardship, which came to a close in 2020. It’s hard to imagine how many PDS, TT, and Cup Racing members began with Don’s PDS events, and are still running in various categories in the POC and other clubs. Thanks for all you did and your PDS experience, time, and guidance to me last year too. Lets take a “track walk” through the paddock and the profile of our event. It truly reflects the landscape of Porsche and other manufactures that provides all of us with machinery that can, mostly, be driven to the track and home again, which is the core of the PDS experience. The mostly comment does come with the reality that, like our track prepped TT and Race Cars, they don’t always go home Sunday in the same condition they arrived in! We had a handful of belts, hoses, leaks, and tire issues, and thankfully only 1 or 2 that had to really stop running and get assistance to get home. I think that’s pretty remarkable. We had a good turn out of 44 drivers in PDS, which allowed us to run a full field of 3 run groups, structured by prior track experience. As can happen in the first run session on Saturday, the process of point-by-passing and spreading the field out, takes each group some getting used to, but by mid Saturday that was sorted and all 3 groups were moving around the track efficiently, helping each other with passing, and working through the challenging bowl to waterfall passing section. That section is

actually one of the most difficult passing zones any street car event is going to throw at a driver. As each car generation goes by, power goes up and the difference of speeds to prior generations expands. I can’t say enough how appreciative I am that our run groups managed that passing zone without incident! Way to go all the drivers. The range of cars’ horsepower, weight, and tires was eye opening and enjoyable to see. While the run groups were set by experience levels, the variance of cars made for a fun and interesting mix on track, which everyone managed well. When you consider that almost all the cars arrived with the basic street seat belt and seat, that frankly can’t hold much in place on a race track, it’s a testimony to all the drivers how well they managed a challenging Streets circuit (both directions), traffic, unfamiliar corner work flag situations, and good old Willow heat and wind. When running Time Trials or Cup Racing with harnesses and a track seat, it’s easy to forget just how challenging it is to drive a street car on a track, especially on a circuit like Streets. After a day or two of that, there will be some new muscle groups being tested on all of us. When I took stock of the range of cars running that weekend, I realized I had to mention the array. Here’s a quick summary:

Porsches: 914s, 996s, late model 911s from base Carerra to GT3RS; late model Caymans through GT4; Boxsters and BSR race cars. And how about this Streets array of cars: Mini 4 door; Audi RS 4 door; BMW M2, M4, M8; Golf R; AMG C63: Corvettes; Nissan Z; Camaros; Dodge; Ford; Lexus RCF; a Lamborgini (now that was fun to see Jim Yang run that around Streets – good driving Jim!); and……. a Tesla made an appearance on track Sunday. Elon needs to put a closer charging station in for his customers than Palmdale, but hats off to the Brinks for making the charge run, twice, to keep on track! Our race weekend PDS events often have a wide range of driver experience, but our non-race Streets events tend to have an even wider range, which I think is great to see. This weekend was no different with 10 drivers having less than 2 track events and, on the other end of the spectrum, 10 drivers with over 8 years of track and Auto X experience. A lot of stories developed over the weekend... here are few: Dave Bent gets the “I’m going to be on that track no matter what” award. Dave’s 996 engine ended it’s life on track last month, and after Enterprise pulled his Camry “track car” entry, he made it to the track with a C63 rental. Dave we aren’t telling Merc about this, but great job getting the track rental program started! Eben Benade’s daughter Kate made her track debut in her Mini 4 door, and ran great (she made no comment to the media on how brother Colin went in TT!). It was especially fun to see Wes Hambach out from Texas in his orange 914, and pushing it hard through the corners, running fast times, even matching up with the Brinks 914. Daniel Ross has made four PDS events in a row and is really starting to push the Ross’s Cayman to the limit. We think he’s ready for a track

prepped car (come on Dad!). Tristan Zafra worked some magic in his GT3RS, running good lap times, and showing all of us why the Michelin Cup 2Rs are the most incredible “street legal” tire in the world. And finally a special thanks to all of you for helping on so many levels and making this event a reality. Thank you Kevin Wolfe and Brian Cooner and all the Auto X gang for organizing, for timing/scoring, and for transforming Streets to a nearly one lap timed Auto X course. Thank you John Momeyer for making the trip from Phoenix, running registration and competition directing, and doing the truly heavy lifting for our club. Thank you Joe Wiederholt for making the trip from San Diego and managing the weekend. Thank you Dwain Dement and Vision Motorsports for all the brake zone, apex and exits cones. Set up time and take down is significant, as is the cone placement knowledge. That’s a huge assist to all the PDS drivers. And finally thanks to Eben Benade, Seth Hodosh, Jim Salzer, and Martina Kwan for your time instructing and for all you did to help the weekend go smoothly! See you all at the next event! Steve Town

Porsche 911 GT2 RS

New from Porsche Porsche is claiming the Nürburgring lap record for a production car once more, and it’s doing so with a 911 GT2 RS. However, there’s the slightest bit of gray area with this particular record. The 911 GT2 RS that broke the record is fitted with a Manthey Performance Kit. That screams “modified”

Claims the Nürburgring Lap Record for a Production Car Porsche’s official time set by development driver Lars Kern is 6:43.300 minutes

at first blush, but Porsche skirts around that issue by saying that it offers this Manthey Performance Kit as a Porsche Tequipment option and sells it via Porsche Centers. This satisfies the “production” requirements, so the lap record stands firm. Downforce in front at 124 mph increases from 108 pounds to 154 pounds

Johans Lamic, the artist uses original Porsche parts and colors only, so each Whale Tail comes with its own 40-50-year-old road trip-memories. He reinterprets the iconic 930 turbo spoiler by painting it in the iconic racing liveries, while the idea behind the drops is reminiscent of the original aerodynamical function of the object.

POC History In The Rearview Mirror By Don Kravig, Precision Motion

Last month, the POC conducted our annual tribute to LeMans, and at the podium we celebrated a tradition created by one of our early members the GREAT Dan Gurney, namely the Champagne dousing. The POC has always had a tradition of great competition, and family mentoring along with sportsmanship and some REALLY Fast women… Before we get to the FAST women, let me mention three things that have happened recently that speak to the traditions of the POC. If you had a chance to look at the results of our Utah event, you may have noticed that Anders Hainer won all three races in BSR. The very interesting sidebar to that was that he was assisting his fellow competitors to get faster, and while in the midst of that a PCA BSR racer walked up and wanted to know how the Hell somebody could beat him by 4 seconds on his home track. Oh by the way, just for fun Anders entered the PCA race as well and won that too (which really made him 4 for 4 for the weekend). If any of you care to look up Grand Am competitors from 2006 you will see the level of skill that Anders had to bring to Grand Am to win his championship. The people there are too numerous to name as they are essentially a who’s who of sports car racing. I invite you to just check it out. Which brings me to...the level of competition during the 1970s-1980s.

1979 photos that were featured on this 1980 racing program cover…Peter Gregg in front, Margie Smith-Haas in the yellow 914, and Big Don Kravig in the RSR just behind Margie. (Note bumper change after she T-boned us earlier)

Photos: Don Kravig 43

The POC in the 1970s had three extremely competitive classes, one of which FP or (F Production) was very similar to the BSR of today. It consisted of ‘67 to ‘72 911S models with free gear ratios, suspension setups, race tires, and jetting. The power to weight ratios were roughly 200hp in a 2,100 pound car. This is what my father threw me into at the age of 16 and little did I know, of the roughly 30 people in the class at that time, at least 18 of them competed in IMSA and TransAm during the next two decades. We also had class X (2.5 and under anything goes), and Z (2.5 and over anything goes). These classes were perfect for the GTU and GTO IMSA cars at the time. These classes were so competitive that it was very common for people like Al Holbert, Milt Minter, George Follmer, etc. to come race with us at a Riverside Raceway event in preparation for their IMSA races. I should also mention here that the POC used to do four club challenges at Riverside Raceway with the Corvette Club, the Ferrari club, Pantera Club, BMW Club and many others. They finally got tired of being beat by 914/4s and quit showing up. A simple glance at the entry sheet for the 1979 Times Grand Prix 6 hours of Riverside Raceway, showed all these POC competitors racing and finishing: • Howard Meister • Rick Knoop (very well known 934, 935 and 962 competitor, hangs out with Dwain Dement and competed in a recent Tribute) • Bill Koll 914/6 • Tom Marks • Otis Chandler (owner of the LA Times and sponsor of the race) • John Thomas • Rick Borlase • Michael Hammond • Joe Korpiel • Milt Minter • Wayne Baker (first 914/4 to run a sub one minute 30 second time at WSIR) • Paul Haas • Mark Rothman • Dennis Aase • Big Don Kravig

• Margie Smith-Haas

These are just a few of the 20 or so we found...Which leads me to…Margie Smith-Haas. 44

A few years ago I was invited to do a panel discussion at the old Riverside Raceway Museum, the IMSA Panel included Bobby Unser, Scooter Patrick and Margie Smith-Haas among others. She immediately dragged me off to one side and apologized (again) for T-boning our RSR in turn 6 in the 1978 IMSA 6 hour enduro. Oh by the way, she hit us with a 914/4. Even in today’s racing it’s common for a Boxster Spec to almost run over a 911 in certain corners (the old mid-engined advantage). Now back to Margie, a Daytona 24 hr and LeMans competitor. Margie had an amazing pro career that began with her sharing a car with her husband Paul, she also shared a car with Gene Hackman driving for Dan Gurney in the 1983 six hour enduro, raced a Porsche Kremer CK5 at Monza and also had numerous appearances in Europe, including LeMans, Brands Hatch and Mugello. She was the only woman to compete in the 1984 and 1985 races at LeMans running as high as 1st in the C2 Class. Margie was a fierce competitor with Movie Star good looks and enough personality for any three people. I will try and get her back to drive our pace car at next year’s Tribute which leads me to...Alexandra Hainer...

At Spring Mountain in April 2021, Alexandra won the GT2 Red Race going away, leaving all in the dust. It was an absolutely stunning drive to watch and she couldn’t deserve that win more. She has been hanging around the professional racing scene and professional racers since she was 8 years old (or probably even earlier). It’s been a joy to watch her work her way up through the Boxster Spec class, and now very skillfully handles a “full on” GT2. All while being approachable, humble and joyous to be out at the track. Look for big things from her in the future. She definitely has the skills! Which leads me to... FAMILY. Anders’ obvious pride in his daughter’s accomplishments are echoed up and down the pits by all of us who have watched her grow. Looking around there are numerous multi generational family competitors within the POC. The J&J McLoughlins, Jim and Regan Steadman, Vali and Anna Predescu, Darin and Ryan Moore, Don and Scott Matz just to name a few. Take the time to share the club with your friends and family, this is a great place to make lifetime friendships and lifetime memories. Photo: Don Matz

Oh by the way, did anyone notice just how fast Ana Predescu is getting? She just graduated and is already kicking butt! Seeya on the track!

CONTROL... FRIEND OR FOE?

In motorsport, you’re likely to come across this expression at some point or another: “be sure to turn the nannies off.” Which is essentially a patronizing way of telling you to “man up” and handle all of the aspects of keeping your car on the pavement, without any help from advanced technology. In the modern Porsche, this advanced technology is known as PSM, or Porsche Stability Management, and it is the latest iteration of traction control that comes standard on every car, and defaults to being ON every time you start the car. It is thus referred to as a “nanny,” because it will protect you from all of your worst instincts that would otherwise result in the back end of the car leading you into the dirt. But does it actually help you go faster or not? As with most things with some nuance, the answer is “it depends”... In addition to being able to have PSM on or off, in cars equipped with Sport Chrono, you can also engage PSM SPORT, which is essentially a halfway compromise between on and off. It has specific advantages depending on the type of driving you’re doing. So let’s talk about the type of driving you’re doing. In relatively low-speed performance driving (autocross, drifting) where the risks of hitting an object or another vehicle are low, and the need to rotate the car at extreme slip angles is high, then you will definitely want to run with PSM OFF or in PSM SPORT. Keeping PSM ON in these scenarios will definitely slow you down, because the system will kick in and apply selective braking as your slip angles increase, scrubbing precious tenths. If drifting is your game, though, then PSM OFF is your only option. At the track, where the speeds are higher, the risks are greater and the lines are straighter, keeping PSM ON is strongly advised, especially in daily-driver cars on street tires. If you come into a corner too hot, either by braking too late or blowing a downshift, having a safety net there to save your bacon can be the difference between driving home and being towed home. And since most racetracks do not require extreme slip angles in order to drive the fastest line, you are not likely to be slowed down while driving fast, clean laps. If the system kicks in, it means you’ve made a mistake and over-rotated. 48

PSM SPORT is a perfect setting for autocross, and that’s what I personally run. It definitely allows you to get the tail-end out and set up for a perfect late-apex backside, but if you totally blow it, it will keep you from spinning. If you are early in your performance driving career, or are trying a course for the first time, running PSM ON is always a good idea until you’ve built more confidence in your car and your driving abilities. So to summarize: • Drifting - PSM OFF • Autocross - PSM OFF or PSM SPORT • Racetrack - PSM ON Happy racing! - Dennis Got questions? Hit me up: denniswolfe101@gmail.com
