the Pennsylvania mountains. According to the PA Fall Foliage site, the north end of this run should be at fall foliage peak! Meet at Northtown Porsche in Williamsville at 8am. The total trip will take about 10 hours, at 360 miles.
This drive is weather dependent so please watch our website for last-minute details.
NORTHEAST LAKE TOUR
Join Art Kriesen for a nice fall ride by Lake Ontario on Sunday, October 7. Art’s knowledge of the best back roads
in the area is unsurpassed.
This tour, not really a breakfast run but more like a coffee run, starts at Webster Park. Arrive 8:45am for a 9am
start. The tour goes from the Irondequoit Bay outlet to Sodus Point with an early coffee stop in Pultneyville. Distance is about 70 miles. This is a fair weather tour as driving in the rain is usually not much fun. Look for a confirmation on Saturday, Oct. 6 on our website .

FALL DRIVER EDUCATION @ WATKINS GLEN
The mission and purpose of our Driver Education program is to provide a safe, structured and controlled teaching
and learning environment. The PCA DE Program is designed so that participants can improve their driving abilities
and acquire a better understanding of vehicle dynamics and driving safety. Participants will experience first-hand
the capabilities of high performance automobiles in a controlled, closed-course environment and acquire skills that
will enhance safer vehicle operation in all driving situations. The fall event will take place on October 8 and 9 at
Watkins Glen. Details including registration information can be found on our webpage.
Guests are welcome to attend free of charge to wander the garage and paddock, check out the cars, watch the ontrack activity, and sit in on a classroom session to see what these events are all about. Track entry is limited to
those on the guest list – contact DE Chairman Bert Xander to get your name on the guest list.
ANNUAL CHILI RUN
This event is RAIN OR SHINE! Like last year, we have an enclosed pavilion so if it’s cold and rainy the fireplace
will be cranked by the time everyone arrives so it will be warm.
Join the Niagara Region PCA for a fun scenic drive to Letchworth State Park, the “Grand Canyon of the East” on
Saturday, October 13.
9:00am – Meet at Garber Porsche, 3955 W. Henrietta Rd., Rochester. The club will provide a continental breakfast
at Garber before heading out for the drive.
10:00am – Departure for Letchworth State Park.
1:00-3:00pm – Chili and BBQ lunch at the North Highbanks Pavilion at Letchworth. The club is providing lunch, no
need to bring anything but your appetite, hiking shoes, and camera.
Please RSVP to Rich DeAsis by Friday, October 5.

President’s Message
Please note that the Tuesday, October 2 monthly meeting has been changed at the request of
Terry Hills to Wednesday, October 3. Same time, same place, just a different day of the week this
month. Please spread the word to anyone you know who might not have internet access. Also
note that the FREE Niagara Region 50th anniversary shirts will be available for pickup at this meeting – all you have to do is show up to receive yours. Each primary club member receives one absolutely free as a ‘thank you’ for being a member. They’re only available thru the end of the year
so get yours now.
Fall is an ideal time for capturing lasting photos of your Porsche, so please consider submitting
them for our annual photo contest. This year’s contest will be run much the same as in past years
but with a twist to the judging. Judging will be interactive, with submitted photos posted and judged
by club members on our group Facebook page. Submit your favorite three Porsche photos (rules and guidelines can be
found on our club website) to me from October 1-31. I will post the photos in an anonymous fashion in a photo album on
our Facebook page on November 1. Our club members will judge the photos from November 1-7 by “liking” their favorite
photos. Photos with the most “likes” will win prizes to be awarded at our Fall Dinner on November 17. One prize per person.
We also request your online participation in our upcoming club officer elections taking place October 1-31 for the 2013 –
2014 term. A link to an online ballot will be included in the October 1 and 15 broadcast emails, and snail-mailed to club
members who have no email address on file with PCA. This year’s election is largely academic since only one person is
running for each office. However, since our ByLaws allow for write-ins we must undertake the election process as required.
Running for club President is Rich DeAsis, VP Tom Lyons, Secretary Sue Reesen, and Treasurer Hank Beamer. Please
support their volunteerism efforts by casting your votes when you receive the ballot link.
October is a great time to take in WNY’s fall foliage and we have some terrific driving events planned. There is a Northeast
Lake Tour on the 7th, our Fall DE at Watkins Glen on the 8th and 9th, and the annual Chili Run to Letchworth State Park on
the 13th (RSVP by Oct. 5). Check out all the details on our club website.
Lastly, mark your calendars for our annual Fall Dinner on Saturday, November 17. Registration is now open and seating is
limited. Last year over 100 people joined us for this end-of-year bash; we would love to see you there!
Take care,
Jim

Running the multitude of events we do each year for the Porsche Club may look easy. Well many of them are easy but
volunteers that run events would like to “share the wealth”. If
you have never run or helped at an event but would like to, let
us know. We have lots of ways to help volunteers be successful with their events and volunteer activities.
Check out the Volunteer-A Ganza information on the next
page to see if there is something there you would like to lend
a hand. Don’t see what you like and want to offer an alternative, that’s cool too. We will help you be successful just let us
know.

Dansville Balloon Festival
Dansville Balloon Festival
By
Tom Lyons
Photos by Ian Webber & Tom Lyons
Labor Day Weekend, the “end of summer”. Well you couldn’t tell summer
was ending based on the weather we had on September 1st, the day of
the Dansville Balloon Festival. It was very sunny and very warm. We
had a great crowd show up at Lowes in Henrietta. We had some Niagara
folks from Buffalo in addition to the Rochester based people. We also
had visitors from Upper Canada and Finger Lakes Regions. In all we had
15 Porsches, a Mini and a Celica all looking forward to the ride down to
Dansville.
Unlike prior years, we did not scout the route to the airport. We were
going to “seat of the pants” the route this time. That is not to say we didn’t know which way were going to try and go. We had one of Babs’ routes from previous years all printed out but since we
didn’t scout the route before the event, we were ready to make adjustments on the fly. We need not have worried. We
managed to avoid the ROAD WORK signs for the most part (we saw some minor shoulder work that didn’t affect the driving lane). We were able to take the route we hoped. The roads we took offered some amazing views of the country side
and the local lakes. They also offered some great Porsche driving sections.
It was a very nice ride down. Marcelo A De Freitas agreed to be the last car in the line with his Mini. That turned out to be
a great choice. His car with those blazing headlights was very easy to see from the front of the line, sometimes a mile
away. We managed to get all the way to the Dansville airport without losing anyone. Thanx Marcelo.
We made our way past the airport security check and out onto the runway where we were to display our cars for the bulk of
the afternoon. We got all lined up against the edge of the grass and no sooner had we gotten everyone parked, we has
spectators checking us out. Who doesn’t like to look at cool cars?
The airport, as you can imagine, is a little short on shade. We
brought our own. Tom and Babs brought a tarp and Joe Prizbach
brought a pop up tent/cover. Between the two things were able to
provide a shady oasis for people to relax over the course of the
afternoon. The shade coupled with refreshments supplied by the
club helped make for a very nice afternoon.
The wind at the airport was gusty all afternoon and we were starting to doubt there would be a launch of hot air balloons later that
day. I kept checking with event officials on the probability of a launch and the availability of access wrist bands that would
allow club members access to the launch field and present them with the opportunity to help launch a hot air balloon. Local launch control said they would not know if the balloons would go up until about 5:30pm so we had to wait and see.
Continued on next page
SEPTEMBER 2012

Dansville Balloon Festival
Continued from previous page
Around 4:30 we had to break camp and move
our cars to make room for the thousands of
people that would flood the runway so they
could be up close to the fence next to the
launch site. Tearing down camp took about 15
minutes and we moved our cars to the end of
the runway where we would have easy access
to the airport exit when the event was over.
The appointed launch time came and the decision was made. The good news, the balloons
would launch, the bad news, the Porsche Club
could not get access wristbands so there would
be no access to the launch site. We would
have to watch the balloons launch from outside
the fence.
While missing out on helping to launch a hot air
balloon was a bit of a downer, just seeing that
many hot air balloons take off in such a short
time was pretty rewarding. I don’t know what the official balloon count was but I
think it was around 25 or so.
With all the balloons that were going to launch in the air it
was time to think about heading home. It was showing
signs of getting dark so Babs and I left the runway and
walked back to our car. When we got there all the other
Porsches had already left, except one. Ian Webber’s 944
was still there. I saved my wrist bands from last year and
since they were using the same kind this year I had one
access band I could let someone use. Ian stepped up and
made it out on the launch site where he got some beautiful
pictures. His entire photo collection is available on our
website. If you haven’t seen them go check them out.
Having that left over wrist band worked out pretty well. I
think I’ll save that wristband for next year because you
never know what might happen.

Watkins Glen GP Festival
Watkins Glen GP Festival
By
Tom Lyons
You have heard me say this before but it is worth repeating. The Watkins Glen GP Festival is the best car event of the
year. It is an up close and personal affair with sports cars and race cars. What could be better than that?
The event is always the Friday
after Labor Day which was
September 7th this year. The
GP Festival is a full day of
happenings. Several local
wineries sponsor driving
events that include tours, rallies, food and fun. Things
start pretty early, around
8:00am for instance, with the
various tour groups meeting at
the winery sponsoring their
event. Some of the tour
groups include the WGI Tour
de Marque which this year
was Mustang. Glenora Run
features cars older than 25
years (mostly), Knapp Vineyards features roadsters, Red
Newt has the Founder’s Tour
which is open to any make or model of car. Don’t forget the Tour d’LeMons for those “unique” cars that don’t quite fit in the
other categories. And new this year was the Hazlitt 1852 Vintage Motorcycle Rallye. Each of these groups along with the
Concours d’Elegance entries
gets to take 2 laps of the original
road course that was first established in Watkins Glen in 1948. I
heard reports that with the road
work taking place on the course
that it must have been very much
like it was in 1948 ;-).
Continued on next page
SEPTEMBER 2012

Watkins Glen GP Festival
Continued from previous page
To accommodate all these tour groups taking their laps of the old
course, the village of Watkins Glen shuts Franklin Street down from
about 1:00pm to about 9:00pm. Regular traffic is diverted a few
blocks east of Franklin Street which turns Franklin Street into the
world’s largest car centric street party. Event organizers have to
chase people out of the street all day long as wave after wave of
sports cars come roaring down the street during their laps. It is a
true feast of both sight and sound.
After all the tour groups have had their laps and have been parked
is their respective areas it is time for the SVRA race cars to come
down from WGI. That usually takes place around 4:00pm. I did not
count the cars that were there but there were enough to line both
sides of the street from the court house all the way back to 4th
street. The race cars are on display for a couple of hours to give
spectators time to wander all around and check them out. It is
VERY difficult to get a picture of a car without having someone walk
through the middle of your shot.
Around 6:00pm event organizers again start chasing spectators from the street to try and clear the way for the race cars to
take their reenactment laps of the old course before returning to WGI. It is very impressive seeing these cars in motion.
Some cars date back to the original road course era. Others are clearly vintage cars. All of them are priceless. And these
guys, and ladies, are going race them on Saturday and Sunday at WGI. It is inspiring to say the least.
After the race cars have left to return to the track, the party continues with fireworks at 8:00 near the state park. The street
opens up to traffic again about 9:00.
So there you have it. A FULL day of car related events centered on sports cars. I gotta get signed up for one of the tour
events for next year. My car really is 25 years old now. Maybe I’ll try and get hooked up with the Glenora Run.

A Race Car Named #50
Post race penalties and corrections that change
race results then have the results revised and new
results are sent to the PCA website, uploaded to
MyLaps, and corrections sent to Rennpoints.
Lou’s response to the favorable findings.
Hi Tim,
Thank you for the clarification.
I'll look forward to the Mid Ohio Second Red Sprint
Race change in F Class. To the best of my
knowledge we should see #50 moved from second
in class to first in class.
With all the information you are responsible for in
the Club's Race Program it is no wonder you are
swamped. Keep up the good work and thank you
for all you do that keeps us on the track, racing!
Regards,
Lou
While it certainly takes a lot of time, talent and perseverance
on the track to win races, it also takes those very same qualities off the track to make a winning team. Not willing to let
the results show anything but what really happened helped
car #50 to move up in the standings.
See the following pages for the original standings followed
by the corrected standings. It pays to stick up for your self.

Where The Hell Are We ???
Are you ready for a yet another new challenge? Over the course of the coming 10 months I will include a picture in Flatout from a club event from 2011. Your job is to try and figure out where the hell we were.
Each month at the bottom of the picture of each event will be a mini form. I am using the mini form to help me
tabulate the answers. Fill out the mini form and copy and paste it into an e-mail and send it to me at tomlyons911@yahoo.com. I will collect your answers and score them. At some point before the fall dinner I’ll tabulate the answers and determine the winner. If there are multiple people with the same score the winner will be
pulled from a hat and announced at the fall dinner. The contest winner will get a MAJOR AWARD! The mini
form will look like this.

Hey Niagara Region,
Pedro is looking for topics to write about and asked me for
help. He needs topics that can be applied across the Porsche line not specific models. Topics like brakes and oil,
which we already covered, are excellent choices. Do you
have a topic you’d like to know more about?
If you do have a topic send me an e-mail at:
tomlyons911@yahoo.com and I’ll get your request to Pedro.
Lets help Pedro help us.

Editor’s note: Since we are rapidly approaching the end of the Porsche driving season, I thought I would re
-print the following article on storing your Porsche.
Storing your Porsche
by Pedro P. Bonilla Gold Coast region PCA
We are blessed here in Florida that we don’t have to store our cars for winter and we get to drive them all year.
But, for many of our members, Florida is their second home. That means that they probably have to store their Porsche for an extended period of time either here or at their primary place of residency.
So, here is the procedure for storing:
Find a suitable storage facility. A garage is fine but you need to make sure that it will be dry, free from pests (mice)
and preferably humidity-controlled, clean and secure.
Thoroughly wash the exterior and finish with a nice coat of wax. Do this the day before storage so that the car has
a chance to dry completely.
Clean the interior by vacuuming carpets and seats and clean & treat the leather. Clean all glass inside and out.
Really clean the wheels. Brake dust is corrosive. The best way is to remove each one and clean the inside as well.
Use a product such as P21-S. Waxing
the wheels afterwards is a great idea.
Continued on next page
SEPTEMBER 2012

Technically Speaking!
Continued from previous page
Condition all the rubber including tires and all rubber gaskets. Use a good conditioner such as Gummi Pflege. Stay
away from silicone-based “protectants”.
Flush the brake/clutch fluid. This fluid is very hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs water and must be replaced
every 2 years or sooner.
Change the Oil and Oil Filter. Old oil can have corrosive characteristics (acid). Top off all other fluids as well
(coolant/antifreeze, windshield washer, power steering fluid, etc.).
Fill the tank half way with gasoline. Add a good fuel stabilizer, such as StaBil and finish filling completely. By driving the car from the gas station to your storage facility the newly stabilized gas will start to run through the system,
especially the injectors.

Continued from previous page
Fully extract and lubricate the radio antenna mast (if present) then retract.
Close all openings such windows, doors and A/C vents. You may want to put some cedar chips or moth balls in the
cabin and around the outside to repel mice and other vermin. If storing in non-humidity controlled conditions, place
a couple of desiccant bags in the cabin. Put plastic bags secured with rubber bands over the exhaust tips when they
have cooled off.
Over inflate the tires to 45-50 psi and leave the car on the ground. Don’t raise the car off the ground on stands.
The suspension components are meant to bear the weight of the car, not hang from it.
Leave the car in gear (or in Park for an automatic). Do not set the parking brake.
For convertible tops leave them relaxed, by opening the main latch. This won’t keep the fabric stretched over an
extended time. Same for Targa tops.
Prop up the windshield wipers off the glass with a small block of wood or similar.
Make sure you have any radio or alarm codes noted, then disconnect and remove the battery. On newer Porsches
that have electrically operated trunks, make sure that the trunk cannot be closed completely by using a block of
wood or similar to keep it propped open.
The removed battery should be connected with a smart trickle charger such as a BatteryTender. Also top off battery
fluid with distilled water. It should be kept in a cool, dry place and not on a cement floor.

Cover the vehicle with a good quality car cover.
Give her a goodbye kiss.
I’m of the school that thinks that not starting the car during storage is best.
I say this because most engine wear happens during the first few seconds after startup, while the oil builds up pressure and starts lubricating the engine internals.
When you’re ready to take her out again, there’s very little that needs to be done, because most was done before:
Remove the cover
Remove the plastic bags over the exhaust tips
Remove desiccant bags and vermin repellant from the cabin
Remove windshield wiper props
Secure the convertible or Targa top
Replace and connect the battery
Drop tire pressures to recommended psi
Start the engine and let it warm up a bit
Go for a drive!

Continued from previous page
If you’re really concerned about that initial startup wear, the following is the procedure that the Porsche Museum
uses for their cars on display:
Remove the spark plugs
Spray WD-40 into each cylinder through the spark plug hole
Spray WD-40 into the air intakes
Turn over the engine by hand a couple of turns with a wrench on the main pulley
Every 3 months repeat above (leave spark plugs out of the engine)
Every 3 months move the car a bit to change the position of the wheel bearings
On a manual gearbox, shift into gear prior to doing above (No. 6) to move the transmission internals
Drive the car every 6 months
