The big player, of course, was the near sold out track that had over 200 drivers, who drove the roval at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana all weekend long. The driving events included everything from PCA Club Racing doing fast and competitive wheel to wheel racing, Zone 8 Time Trial drivers going for season points on this great and large road course with the high speed half track banking oval. We also had the pleasure of again welcoming Greg Franz and the Pirelli GT3 Cup competing in their season competition in there very powerful and gorgeous cup cars. Along with all of the fast and furious track action, there was a lot of other happenings to keep the Porsche Enthusiasts entertained for hours on site. For those who have wondered about trying out a little tracking of their car, there was a taste of autocross (an opportunity to drive your car on an little course with an instructor giving you some tips on what you can really do with your Porsche). People were smiling and surprised as they walked away from the course! People enjoyed one of the largest Concours d’Elegance that the Festival has ever seen, which was a beautiful display of Porsches, prepared with care and accuracy for judging by their owners and shown on Vendor’s Row on Saturday. We had Porsche corrals all weekend long with hundreds of cars parked by model, and a Saturday swap meet and a Porsche Platz car sale. There were three days of Lunch Time Track Tours, an opportunity for anyone to put their car on the track at freeway speeds over the lunchtime hours, and that is always one of the weekend favorites. One of the great features of the weekend was the celebration of 50 Years of the 911. All 50 Porsches were collected for the display and then, at the right time, they rolled out onto the track (during the lunchtime) and were arranged for the perfect picture – the coordination and timing were meticulous and quarterbacked by the editor in chief of the this publication, and my Sweetheart and partner in crime, Skip Carter. 6 To hear the story of getting all of those cars organized was one of the great stories of the weekend (ask Skip about it sometime). I cannot possible tell it or I would. I have another story I can tell about my friend Cecelia Knauf. Cecelia is the Registrar for the Festival and works really hard for months getting things organized for the weekend. She was a really great track driver, but gave it up a few years ago and now drives the Pace Car each year for the Festival. I am not sure why Cecelia stopped competiting, but if you look around her home, I am not sure where she would put another trophy. Between Cecelia and her husband Vince, one of the co chairs for the festival, the walls are full. So, Cecelia lets me be her radio person in the Pace Car (I think this is our 3rd year together). Our job is to lead the race cars out on the track. They bunch up behind us to get a fair start. These are very loud and powerful, and are behind us moving back and forth warming up their tires and revving their engines, and we are going no more than 40 – 65 miles an hour with these cars crowded on our tail. Some of these drivers are very aggressive and like to get right up to the pace car and sort of like to be a little aggressive – makes me take notice. I’ll tell you, the sound alone is overwhelming. So, once the race we start, there is a driver who is just pushing and pushing and I am watching him and finally I look over at Cecelia and she is grinning from ear to ear and giggling – just getting a kick out of his pushing – and she is just waiting for more instructions from the tower and just driving her perfect line and grinning and giggling all the way home. What a great race, what a great day and what a great Festival. If you missed it, don’t miss it next year and no, you cannot have my Pace Car job with Cecelia. May 2013 Skip Carter As I write this column, Suesan and I are packing, heading out in the morning for Pahrumph, Nevada. The Grand Prix Region is co-hosting a PCA Club Race at the Spring Mountain Motorsport Ranch with the Las Vegas Region. It is the first time there has been a PCA Club Race in the Vegas area since 2008, so there is a lot of excitement about it. one on himself. I started telling him about an excellent 944 Spec Racer I knew was available, and how it's a great car to learn in... Enough power to have fun with, but not a handful. So many people I see show up with GT3s, GT3RSs, etc and want to learn how to drive. I'm not saying you can't do it that way, but we recommend most people to start out with an easy, not big horsepower car, learn how to drive, then move up if you feel the inclination. We'll probably hook up in Victorville for lunch with our CDI, Mike Mulligan, and Vince Knauf, Zone 8 Club Race coordinator. There's a funky old diner you may have heard about — Emma Jean's Holland Burger Cafe. Have I ever mentioned my fondness for diners and home cookin'? I'm starting to run out of room here, so I'll wrap it up. I bought the 944 racer this week. Patrick Sloan and I are going to co-drive the car (he's got a truck and can haul it to the track). The 914 is, well, up for sale. It's only about a 5-hour drive from La Mesa to Pahrumph. Every thing I've heard about the facility sounds wonderful. The onsite condos are more reminiscent of a resort than a race track. I hear the same about the clubhouse (bar, fitness center, etc). It sounds like a track you can take the family. The main article in this Circuit is a reprint from the Pacific Northeast Region newsletter. It's about the 1982 Le Mans race and, more significantly, Porsche's dominance that year. With this year's 24 Hours on May 15th, it seemed like a timely article, especially considering Porsche's entries this year and, even more exciting, the promise of a purpose built Le Mans car for 2014! It's been about 10 years since I've owned a track car, which was a very nice almost stock '74 914 2.0 with some tighter suspension and 15" 5-lug Fuchs. In 2004 I sold it to a friend. He drove it a few times, but it's mostly been sitting in a field. Several months ago he expressed an interest in getting rid of it, so we trailered it up to Mike Mulligan's shop in Vista, where it has been undergoing a resuscitation. Fuel lines, brake lines, injector service, battery and, you can imagine, a few other things. It's a little worse for the wear, but this week I went up and drove it around. It's funny how you can jump in a car you haven't started in ten years, and it's just like yesterday. But the story takes a twist... From having no track car for ten years, to having two all of a sudden is weird, but a problem that is not difficult to solve. See you soon at an event Sleazy Dog Construction On the Cover... In 1982 Porsche dominated the 24 hour Le Mans race like no other manufacturer had done before or since. Inside is a wonderful story by Jay Gillotti from the Pacific Northwest Region covering that historic race This year's 24 Hours du Mons is on June 15th May 2013 While the 914 was being revived, a friend and I started talking. My problem is, managing performance driving events, there is no way I can get a track car to an event. He's thinking he needs a track car, but doesn't necessarily want to take 7 June 9, 2013, Sunday Registration: http://MSReg.US/DETTJune9 For info contact: Suesan Way, Registrar SuesanWay@pobox.com or (619) 992-4287 Drivers Ed: 1.5 mile road course Entry Level Event — no special equipment needed for stock classes Helmets required (Snell SA or M 2005 & 2010)H Helmets available for rent or purchase Mandatory First Timers Ground School Saturday evening Accommodations Sheraton Fairplex Porsche Club Rate – $109.00 1 MINUTE FROM THE TRACK sponsored by Porsche of Downtown LA Day Drivers Ed — $ 125.00 Time Trial adder — $ 25.00 $50.00 late fee if payment not received by June 1 Paid Corner Workers THIS IS AN ENTRY LEVEL EVENT Instructors are provided (and mandatory) for novices We will NOT be using the tunnel because of asphalt damage The Mullin is located in Oxnard, and is2010 devoted May 2013 July to classic cars of the French Art Deco style.

A more pleasant anniversary to recall is one of Porsche’s greatest victories. Some might argue that the 1982 24 Hours of Le Mans was Porsche’s greatest triumph of all. It certainly led to a period of unprecedented dominance by Porsche in sports car racing, rivaling that of Ferrari in the late '50s and early '60s. 1982 also happened to be the 50th running of the great race. That, along with the inception of a new formula, gave the race a sense of occasion and importance that may have been lacking when sports car racing suffered through the difficult economic conditions of the late '70s and early '80s. Porsche certainly knew how to win Le Mans by this time. They had taken 6 of the previous 12 races and, in 1981, they had literally dusted off the 936s in their museum, installed a version of the engine intended to run at Indy in 1980, and decimated the field (Ickx & Bell taking the win by 14 laps over the Cosworth-powered Rondeaus). Porsche’s newly installed American CEO, Peter Schutz, was a fan of racing and pushed to revitalize Porsche’s participation in front-line motorsport. At the same time, the FIA had devised a new formula for sports car endurance racing that seemed to play to Porsche’s strengths. Group C had relatively few restrictions (beyond a simple fuel consumption limit (no maximum engine capacity)). For 1000 KM races, each car would have only 600 liters of fuel, with tank size limited to 100 liters. At Le Mans, the cars were allowed 2600 liters. Minimum weight would be 800 kilos, and the car that could cover the greatest distance with the available fuel would be the winner. Soon after the 1981 Le Mans race, Porsche’s Norbert Singer was assigned the task of developing a new car for Group C. Project 956 would not only be Porsche’s first modern monocoque racer, but also its first ground-effect car. Instead of using the traditional tubular space-frame approach dating back to the 906, the 956 would have a bonded and riveted aluminum tub structure. While the center section of Group C cars’ underbody was required to be flat, Porsche and the other manufacturers would employ venturishaped tunnels at the rear to create downforce. Porsche’s traditional flat-6 motor was angled downward in the rear sub frame to allow extra room for the ground-effect tunnels. The drive shafts were made to a new shape and with new materials to minimize the effect on the air passing through the underbody tunnel. Another step to increase the ground effect was to make the 956 the longest wheelbase Porsche to date (street or race car). Singer’s task was made easier by not having to design a new engine. The 2.6 liter flat-6 (with water-cooled cylinder heads) that won Le Mans in 1981 would carry over to the 956. Capable of producing 600 reliable horsepower with twin turbochargers, this engine could also sip fuel in an economical manner. It did get an all-new 5-speed gearbox to help with maximizing fuel efficiency. The car went from first drawings to first shakedown test in about 8 months. By March of 1982 it was ready for testing at the Paul Ricard circuit in France. Of course, Porsche also had the services of Mr. Le Mans, Jacky Ickx. He had won Le Mans 5 times already and would partner with Derek Bell who had shared two of those wins with Jacky. At its first race (the Silverstone 1000 KM in May) the 956 finished second to a Group 6 Lancia (Group 6 cars being grandfathered into the 1982 races to fill out the fields). The Group C formula brought a welcome return of manufacturer involvement at Le Mans. In addition to Porsche, Ford returned with their new Zakspeed-built C100. Other Ford-powered contenders came from Lola, Sauber, Dome and Rondeau (who had won Le Mans in 1980). Lancia was not ready with a Group C car as yet, so they entered their Group 6 spyders. Le Mans regulars WMPeugeot, Courage and the Aston Martin factory also entered the fray. I risked bringing up a sore subject, but contacted Mr. Horsman for his first impressions of the 956. He recalls admiring Porsche’s leadership in the aero department (Porsche having grown immensely since Horsman’s experience with the 917). The 956 seemed wellsorted in terms of balancing low drag with adequate downforce. He also felt the reliability and performance of the 2.6 liter turbo engine in the 956 would be hard to beat. In addition to his disdain for the French organizers, he remains critical of the underdeveloped and inadequately tested DFL Cosworth. This was to be a pivotal factor in the race, as we’ll see. In qualifying, Ickx took the pole with an average speed just over 146 mph, and the 956s were running about 220 down the Mulsanne straight with their long, low-drag tails. This speed was not much faster than the 936 had been in 1981, but fuel-efficiency was Harley Cluxton (of Grand Touring Cars now the main focus of in Arizona) was a Le Mans enthusiast who Porsche’s effort, and had commissioned Tiga and ex-JWA/ the 956 was running Gulf man John Horsman to build a new less turbo boost. The Cosworth-powered Mirage, the M12, to Porsches qualified on Group C regulations. In a great PR coup, race rubber, electCluxton signed Mario Andretti to drive ing not to use softthe new car at Le Mans with his then 19John Fitzpatrick & David Hobbs finished 4th compound qualifying overall driving the Porsche 935/78 Moby Dick year old son, Michael. The Mirage qualitires. Two interesting fied in a fine 9th position but ran afoul of customer Porsches the French authorities in a bizarre scene qualified close behind the 956s. Reinhold Joest’s team had just before the start. No one is quite sure if a competitor converted their 936 to a coupe-style Group C car, and made tipped the ACO officials, but Horsman and Cluxton were (continued on page 20) called before the stewards only an hour before the start and advised that their oil cooler was illegally positioned relative to the gearbox. Had this been addressed properly at scrutineering on Tuesday, the problem could have been remedied. With only an hour to go before the start on Saturday, there wasn’t enough time for a fix. The team did valiantly reposition the oil cooler, but by the time the work was done, an alternate car had been allowed to start the race. Cluxton never returned to La Sarthe and no Mirage has run there since.

The Kremer brothers’ one-off CK-5 qualified 8th. The Group 6 Lancias were 4th and 5th fastest and not far off the 956’s pace. The #3 956 of Vern Schuppan and Jochen Mass could only manage 14th fastest after Schuppan had a puncture on the Mulsanne and was lucky to avoid a huge accident. Harald Grohs was not as lucky in his 935. He also suffered tire failure at the fastest point on the Mulsanne, just past the kink. The car hit the barriers on both sides of the road and did a series of rolls coming to rest #2 car for Mass & Schuppan had trouble with theirs during the race. Porsche installed new engines in all 3 cars for the race, but the motor assigned to the #1 car developed a fault, which required a second engine change for the Ickx/Bell car. Weather would not be a factor in 1982, and the start was sunny and warm. Ickx took things easy, and Mass was in the lead to lap 8 in the #2 956. Within a half hour of the start, the three 956s were running in the top 3 places. However, by lapping at around a 3 minutes 40 seconds pace, the Porsches had to pit at the 45 minute mark. Although forcing the Cosworth-powered cars to run a hot pace, the Porsches would not be able to run at this speed for a full 24 hours and stay within the fuel allocation. The Fordpowered Le Mans-based Jean Rondeau cars were the closest pursuer. The Gordon Spice-Francois Migault entry was shown in the lead at 7 PM while the Porsches made pit spots. The Ford C100 then managed to lead at the four hour mark as fuel stops scrambled the order. However, as evening went on, the brigade of Ford Cosworthpowered cars began to fall by the wayside, mainly due to a fault in the 3.9 liter DFL engine that had not shown up Porsche Kremer CK5 during practice. Vibration in these motors on the long, fullthrottle run down the Mulsanne proved to be their demise. beyond the “hump” (and then it caught fire). Grohs was not A damper mounted on the nose of the crankshaft to control hurt in this, his second major crash in a 3 week period.

In some cases strategy, and the Porsche engithe vibration broke neers were on point. With 100 motor mounts, liters to start and another 2500 starter motors or liters available, the total of 2600 caused clutch plates liters divided by 23 hours would to fail. The Lancia give the max consumption per spyders had both hour. , Why divide by 23? The stopped on lap 2 limit on fuel flow meant that a with an electrical car would be stationary in the fault in the fuel pits for close to 60 minutes durpump. Even though ing the race. As a result, the cars they got going could use about 113 liters of fuel again, both were per hour, but Porsche backed out for good by this down to a conservative target of 107. The 956s were early evening. Our friend Brian Redman came out of retireequipped with digital, on-board fuel readouts, although the ment for the second time to drive a Lola T-610 and looked 20 May 2013 competitive as usual. Sadly, the Le Mans jinx struck again, and the car went out early when the team miscalculated the fuel and one of Brian’s co-drivers was stranded on track. By midnight, the American 956 of Al Holbert, Hurley Haywood and Jurgen Barth was in the lead. This crew had made some quicker pit stops and done some more aggressive driving, but at 12:30, Hurley had the one serious moment of the race for Porsche. While at speed on the Mulsanne, he reached over to check the door and it promptly flew off into the night! The pit stop for that repair (plus another to replace a failed wheel bearing) would drop them down as far as 8th place. At half-distance, Ickx/Bell led Mass/Schuppan with the 936C holding 3rd place. The Aston Martin Nimrod was running fourth, ahead of the delayed 956. When the Aston was delayed, a Ferrari Boxer made it up to 4th place. Ickx complained of a misfire in his engine during the night, likely the result of running lean on mixture (fuel economy strikes again!). As the sun came up and temperatures warmed, the misfire seemed to go away. were actually a little bored. Derek Bell was quoted as saying: “It’s just not very exciting, is it?” Ickx continued to have concerns about his engine as Sunday afternoon wore on, but his luck and the engine held together. At 22 hours, the Joest 936C suffered engine failure, promoting the #3 956 to a neat 3rd place spot. As Derek Bell drove the final stint, Ickx changed into fresh overalls for the podium ceremony. The 956s formed up in a line-astern, 1-2-3 order as the end approached but they never quite made it to the finish line. The fans swarmed over the barriers as 4 PM approached and the marshals were forced to direct the cars into the paddock as the checkered flag waved. The 1-2-3 finish was an amazing result for a car in only its second race and first time out at Le Mans. Similar to 1970 and 1971, Porsche won nearly all the categories, including IMSA GTX (Hobbs & Fitzpatrick in a long-tail, Moby Dick-style 935 that finished 4th overall), Group 5 (935, 5th overall), Group 4 (934) and IMSA GT (the Busby-Bundy 924 GTR). Ickx set fastest lap with a 3.28.40. It was a bit of a lucky result for Fitzpatrick as he had run out of fuel at one point and had to push his car from the Ford chicane up into the pit lane! The Moby replica also ran much of the second half of the race on 5 cylinders. At 9:30 on Sunday morning, Ickx came The hot pits used to be a bit more crowded than 1982 would turn out to be in with a puncture (luckily it happened what you'll see these days Ickx’ 6th and final Le Mans right before the pit entry). This set off victory. He came back only a debate between Norbert Singer and twice more (1983 and 1985) before retiring at age 40. It is Helmut Flegl about whether the car should be refueled. left to history to argue the what-if. Had the Ford-engine With the number of refueling stops limited, putting fuel in cars not failed en masse, would the Porsches have the car at this stage would run out of fuel? What history does show is that result in at least 3 laps’ the 956 and the 962 derivative went on to win the worth of fuel being unused next five Le Mans races in a row. This basic design at the end of the race. Flegl became one of the most successful racing cars ever won, calculating that Ickx’ built. lead was sufficient and the car was fueled.

Arguably, his mind contained more and broader technical information on the configuration, maintenance and tuning of air cooled, 6cyl Porsches than any other in the world. Fortunately, a book exists which preserves much of that knowledge. Porsche 911 Performance Handbook, 19631998 is not so much a handbook as a tome of 304, 8-1/2x11 pages. The term Performance in the title is also somewhat misleading... This book is about much more than just hot-rodding air-cooled Porsches, a subject with which it does deal, in great, specific detail. This handbook is one of the best sources available for information on the configurations of various year cars. It is an essential book for the library (or coffee table) of anyone seriously interested in air-cooled 911s. This book is very well illustrated with photographs, many in color, illustrating the evolution of the design of certain components. Also included are some custom graphics which illustrate system operation and internal configurations that cannot be shown in a photograph. Then there is the text. Bruce Anderson was well renowned in the aerospace industry as an outstanding technical writer before he started playing with Porsches. His skill in presenting his encyclopedic knowledge is attested by the years his columns appeared in Pano, Excellence and other periodicals, and his many years of service as Technical Editor of Pano's Tech Q&A Section. Chapter 1 of the Porsche 911 Performance Handbook, 1963-1998, is an outstanding compendium of all the design changes (not just engine changes) made to enhance 911 performance year by year. It is the place to find out what makes a car of year X better that a car of year X-1. Chapter 2 is an equally comprehensive and detailed presentation of the particular things to check on when considering the purchase of a 911 of any specific year, and contains model (SC, 993, 964) by model Pre-Purchase Inspection checklists from Zone 8's own Tony Callas. Chapter 3 deals with the ever continuing development of the air-cooled 911 engine, describing the almost year by year and 911 model by model changes in great detail. The very extensive information contained in the narrative is summarized in an 8-page table at the end of the chapter. Chapter 4 gets down to the nitty-gritty of engine rebuilding, with lots of how-to pictures and insightful notes on tricks-of-the-trade. Also included is a 2-1/2 page Engine Builder's Checklist of what to do and how to verify re-usability of components. Chapter 5, over half way through the book, is where the hotrodding starts to come in. This chapter deals with improvements to engine performance. Modifications proposed are discussed in great detail, down to the appropriate carb jets to use with specific piston/cylinder combinations. Chapter 6 on suspension covers springs, anti-roll bars, alignment, wheels and brakes, with specific recommendations for the various 911 models, and intended uses from street to fullrace. Chapter 7 talks about the various transmissions, their configurations and their years of usage. Included are charts of gears available for the various models and their effect on speed at various RPMs. Last but not least are some fascinating appendices providing 911 production figures in very great detail, a preventive maintenance checklist and tune-up specifications for every year and model. There are specific recommendations for adjusting Solex, Weber and Zeniths carbs as well as for mechanical and CIS/K-jetronic injection systems. The final appendix gives specific guidance for changing oil and filters on 993s and 964s.
